yesterday I bought the game. hope for steam key after release.
btw, during probably 3-4 hours of game, it creashed 4 times. one time with some error code, rest just crash without anything.
Game look pretty well, but what is more important, it will have some "love" from developers for some time period and lots of suff could be added/fixed/balanced. I'm looking forward for more updates
I just uploaded v 1.9.0, and there'll be a devlog coming up soon with some more details.
Quick overview: Hero's Hour lands on steam on 1st of March. That will be the 2.0 update, which has a new faction, new translations into Spanish, French, German, Polish, Russian, Chinese, and hopefully Japanese and Korean as well. Until then, game is only available in English.
The price of the game will rise, but I'll be setting the game on sale for 1-2 weeks at the same point, so the increase will be more gradual.
Is there a way to help out with translations if we know another language beyond those? I speak Norwegian and a Norwegian translation is absolutely not necessary because we all speak fluent english. But it is rare and might make any Norwegian give it another look.
Hi NoCarz, um, we had to ban your discord account after it was hacked and started spamming phishing links. You'll have to make a new account to join the HH discord server. Sorry about the commotion
Paid version has written "Premium" under the title inside the game. The free version has only 4 factions, the premium one has all of them (other 6 factions).
j'ai essayé d'acheter le jeux sans réussir a le télécharger j'ai demander de l'aide au support mais ca reste flou je ne sais pas si j'ai payer ou non et personne n'est capable de m'aider
Tried the free demo and had a blast! Love the graphics and I loved the building in acane which granted the player a free spell to use per battle which after battle gets shuffled. Had a 100 stack of goblingunners which I just transformed into random units, dominating the field! Love it!
Jut bought the game and love it. I think I've been waiting for a fantasy pixel style wargame all my life hahahaha. Any advice on modding? Can you create new factions, for instance?

I love this game, but it crashes so much. Starting a new game, loading a game, randomly in battles, randomly selecting things.
This is consistent across two totally different computers.
Are there plans to solve these crashes? It seems many others have the same problems. I'd hate for this game to launch on Steam with so many crash bugs as it's great, but would get pretty harshly rated in it's current state.
I really like this game, and am excited about the major new update. I just updated the game for 1.8.2 version, and I keep getting this code error which forces me to abort my game. I get to play one turn, then when I wait for my second turn I get this.
Gotta add a difficulty where the AI doesn't just completely steamroll me. If I'm on a map with more than one neutral city the AI moves WAY faster than me and it devolves into a slow game of "how long can I run back and forth desperately trying to keep a town".
You can set your city to start at a higher level if you want. I think this also affects the AI towns as well, but I find it's really good for a faster start.
Played the demo and became very interested in the game! I do wish there was some right click functionality to exit some dialogs instead of hitting "exit", but this seems like a very neat game, and I hope it continues being developed!
Great fun. Stayed up way too late last night playing.
Some comments/nice to haves - a bit more weak critters in the very beginning to level up. Fine as is, but might be a good option.
AI seems off some points - sometimes the enemy AI fights, sometimes it ignores weaker heros.
Option to NOT see allied movement. Would like to play an ally game but don't want to waste time watching.
Option to reduce # of players on a map.
Some method to avoid steam rolling - i.e. player gets to a steamroll point with like lvl 20 hero while AI has lvl 10. vice versa, AI is near impossible and walks into slap you around. Not consistent though, which is good.
How do you enable mods? I see the mods folder, I see mods settings.txt.. not finding the connection. "start game with 1 of each modded artifact" '0' on the next line - should that be '1'?
any mods that are in the folders in the mods section currently are automatically enabled. future versions will have the option to turn on/off mods in the menu.
Wow is this game great!!! I'm an oldschool HoMM addict (2 is the best! 3 is close second!) and I'm also a supporter of the FHeroes2 project. So boy have I got to say that this game scratches all the right itches in all the right places. It strikes me as a lightweight pixelated mashup of HoMM 2/3 and Dominions, and I mean that as nothing short of high praise. I love it, and I can't wait to buy it again on Steam!
I'm not sure what the issue might be. Lots of others are playing v1.8.2 without issue (also some normal bugs, of course). Maybe the security issue stems from elsewhere on your system? Or is a false flag
look, I hate to tell you this, but Norton is a terrible AV program. most of the freeware ones even are way better. This is one of the reasons... Norton false flags ANY program that has the ability to modify an executable file. which many, many do, btw. you have to add the exe file for Hero's Hour to your exception list, or just turn off norton before you play the game. there is no virus in this game.
Why does it always heat up my laptop so much, I don´t remember doing it in the beginning, and I got a MSI which is not bad at all. So I would appreciate if you could give me advise with the setings? idk
Made this account to buy the game. And I am thoroughly surprised and happy with the purchase. Glad to see an update today( Dec. 17th) I love all the factions, although I do hope to see more or more units assigned to the current ones. Keep it coming!
I signed up here just to get this game. It's got that certain something that I can just sit down and have fun. It's like time travel. There's so much here that I could spend years playing and still have fun. The one thing I want really bad though is a feudal Japanese faction. Maybe an expansion pack? Fighting demons and the undead as a samurai would be too cool. Thanks for the great game, bro you're a fkin' legend! Will buy on Steam too.
Another small point would be when looking at the Lexicon, specifically when looking at heroes, you can't see what their skills do, just what skill they learn. Being able to check what each skill does would be nice since some skills that give units for instance vary from hero to hero like Mastery for instance which gives different units.
Also, while I get that you're not supposed to hire 50 heroes, the fact that you can get duplicates is nice but maybe have either a wider pool or a cycle that allows you to get a chance to get all the different heroes at least once would be nice. Here for instance, I got Ril Kani more than three times and not a single Uptala which is the hero I was trying to get and that's with a good amount of tries that would've exhausted a regular hero pool.
I've left the itch page here alone for a while, and sorry about that! I've been hard at work and I'm hoping to be able to push v 1.8 this weekend, which will be the last big content push - and probably the largest patch the game has ever seen. After that, things will continue to run slowly up until the v2 release (aka finally being done enough for steam). Big game, lots of issues to fix. Expect an update and a devlog, maybe before the end of the weekend!
Awesome game, you may want to change the Naval battle preparation vs neutral creatures though as the way the preview presents it it looks like your forces will fight the neutral creatures arriving from the south while in battle they actually come from the easts which poses some positioning problems.
The same can be said about Naval battles against other players in a way.
The simplest thing would be to draw a black line between the two with an arrow indicating where the enemy comes from (Example below).
Also it might be me but I have a hard time moving the camera around especially when creatures get pushed into corners which makes it very difficult to tell what's happening, not to mention sometimes when trying to move the camera around I'll sometimes press the wrong button namely 'Flee' when looking at the bottom of the screen which is a big problem since it forces a defeat.

hi , i need new invinite for discord i cant join on this from website ,can You send me new invinite ?
Hi NoCarz, um, we had to ban your discord account after it was hacked and started spamming phishing links. You'll have to make a new account to join the HH discord server. Sorry about the commotion
Will the game lanuch on macOS?
Same question, would love to see one when it releases on steam
Is this game supported in Korean?
The game has English, Spanish, French, Polish, German support and soon in Russian. But for now not in Korean.
How can you tell the difference between the free demo and the paid version?
Paid version has written "Premium" under the title inside the game. The free version has only 4 factions, the premium one has all of them (other 6 factions).
Thanks!
why would you buy the game when you give us necromancy immediately lol
j'ai essayé d'acheter le jeux sans réussir a le télécharger j'ai demander de l'aide au support mais ca reste flou je ne sais pas si j'ai payer ou non et personne n'est capable de m'aider
J'ai payé et telechargé sans aucun probleme. Mais tu es sur de avoir payé? Et tu a reussì à telecharger la demo?
Tried the free demo and had a blast! Love the graphics and I loved the building in acane which granted the player a free spell to use per battle which after battle gets shuffled. Had a 100 stack of goblingunners which I just transformed into random units, dominating the field! Love it!

I already purchased the 1.3 version but do i have to pay to get the expansion update?
I love this game, but it crashes so much. Starting a new game, loading a game, randomly in battles, randomly selecting things.
This is consistent across two totally different computers.
Are there plans to solve these crashes? It seems many others have the same problems. I'd hate for this game to launch on Steam with so many crash bugs as it's great, but would get pretty harshly rated in it's current state.

Will buying the Itch version get us a Steam key, or are they a separate deal?
He said previously that once it comes out on steam, previous purchasers will get a steam key.
Great, thanks.

This happened when trying to load a game.

So, Hero's Hour v 1.8 is now out, as is v1.8.1 and v1.8.2. Its a pretty monumental update, you should check out the development log to see what's new!
The current version is v 1.8.2, still the same: hero's hour.exe
(SONAR.ProcHijack! G43) detected by SONAR
I'm not sure what the issue might be. Lots of others are playing v1.8.2 without issue (also some normal bugs, of course). Maybe the security issue stems from elsewhere on your system? Or is a false flag

Now I know why my computer was freezing. Filename: hero's hour.exe
Threat Name: SONAR.ProcHijack! G43
I have norton internet securitas detected a high threat while launching the game, be it hacking.
hero's hour.exe
(SONAR.ProcHijack! G43) detected by SONAR
Note you may be tucked away
1.8.1. --- The game does not start, the computer freezes. After turning on, it freezes after 30s. I went back to version 1.7

The 1.8.1 update is a pleasant surprise!!! I love that!!!
Made this account to buy the game. And I am thoroughly surprised and happy with the purchase. Glad to see an update today( Dec. 17th) I love all the factions, although I do hope to see more or more units assigned to the current ones. Keep it coming!

Even less important but there aren't any achievements for beating a normal or harder game as Tide or Earthen

Being able to check what each skill does would be nice since some skills that give units for instance vary from hero to hero like Mastery for instance which gives different units.
This has more to do with the Random generation but sometimes the map generator will place inaccessible structures like this one.
Also, while I get that you're not supposed to hire 50 heroes, the fact that you can get duplicates is nice but maybe have either a wider pool or a cycle that allows you to get a chance to get all the different heroes at least once would be nice.
