HOMM5 = Single Player Game
This game isn't even playable in the Multiplayer mode:
1) No True simultaneous turn mode and Instant resolve battle Mode (Unlike Civilization 4)
2) It takes 4 to 12 hours to resolve 1 game.
3) Lag due to Peer-to-Peer system. For example, the 2nd Player receives the turn token 2 min after the 1st Player has ended his turn.
That's why you're helping them test it.
That's nothing new... All the HOMM versions lack the simultaneous turns. And still, the game RULES in multiplayer. I always spend my opponent's turn thinking about my next turn. What will I build? Where will I send my heroes? And there's always soooo much to see and enjoy if you just scroll around the map in the opponent's turn. By the way, if both players do that, each turn takes less time, since you already thought of what to do, and then both players' turns becom shorter
This is a beta, not a final game, so dont post something like this, because this wont be the final game.
Post bugs, balance and othe issues that can help Nival to make a better game.
well this is a really funny statement. If the beta is NOT Heroes 5 what are we testing for ?Originally posted by Edswor:

A beta is a broken version of a game. At least a lot of betas are. And there are many things you'll only see in retail but never ever in the beta.
My last experience was Warcraft 3, I swore about the fact that formations were severely broken until the final beta-version. In retail, everything was fine. I also think there were some bad autocast bugs. Come retail, they were fine.
Testing a beta means:
a)bug-hunting, suggesting
b)enduring the strain that you will still have no clue what has really been fixed until you have bought the game
The latter is really hard and the only reason I do not freak out over another closed beta I'm participating in is because the Programmers don't worry and regularly post in the Forum. Which is also my guess why the Russians just don't freak out as much as we do, the can easily chat away with the developers in the Russian forum.
So sit back, sip some tea, report and wait

And this is why I said, put "Slain by pope Benedict with Excalibur" on the obituary. - Roadkill the Cat
resolve battle option should be back
The day we born we start to die
lol
there will be simulation turns in the full version,and dont forget ghost mode.
and duels are great for multi.
If it's heroes, we can play it!
Blizzard had at least 5 Beta Patches for WarCraft 3 before it came out... I think.Originally posted by FoxHero:

Anyway, although Players curse and swear at Blizzard, Blizzard offers the best gaming service (around 2.5 Years lifespan including Expansion Sets) as compared to other game companies who abandon their games after the Initial Retail Sale Stage.
