Given this game's popularity, I came to the wiki page to find out why. Well the "gameplay" section normally describes the gameplay, not a comparison of this game to its predecessors. I am expecting to read things like "build structures, upgrade units, attack your enemies", not things like "The gameplay of Heroes VI represents a step away from the five original installments. About half of initial schematics, including spells, skills, abilities, heroes, units and buildings will remain present, with the other half being innovative. For example the absence of the magic guild, mandatory building for town updates in the previous games. In Heroes VI, the magic guild leveling is replaced by the hero skill/ability wheel leveling, while new spells are learned only at particular dwellings outside the town. "

Wrote a gameplay overview. I feel that this does need to have comparisons to the older games, so fans of the series can compare the changes. I am not so good with writing though, perhaps someone could use this and enhance it to merge or enhance the gameplay section. Do agree, the current gameplay looks more like a complaints section...
The gameplay in heroes VI revolves around the player controlling various heroes. Heroes are used to lead armies, destroy neutral monsters or attack enemy heroes and cities and forts. Cities can be improved by players and are where heroes recruit new creatures for their army. As heroes do battle they gain experience and levels which unlock new skills and abilities divided between the "Might" and "Magic" themes.
Central to the gameplay in Heroes VI is control of cities and forts. Each city and fort has a zone of control that gives ownership to resource production builds and creature dwellings, which boost the weekly growth of some creatures. Cities allow the use of town portal spells that can teleport heroes to any city or fort they own, making owning these forts crucial.

Please tell us (in the article) why the name was changed from Heroes of Might and Magic to Might and Magic Heroes?? Thanks! Naki ( talk) 15:14, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
I read somewhere that it was so that the start was "Might and Magic...", to try and make all the might and magic games stay together. Can't give a source sorry. 58.167.42.65 ( talk) 08:07, 27 December 2011 (UTC)LogiC

Patch history doesn't really explain how the game was received. Found IGN review and Gamespot review. Again I'm not so good a writer.

This reception section is still uncomplete : it doesn't say that the majority of the bugs are unfixed, the ai is still very poor and the game unblanced, even after 1.2. Also, it should talk about the poor reception from the fans of the series : I never saw so much people complaining about an heroes game on almost every forum. The poor consumer support is also very critizised. I think that this is worth being stated, and the consumer reaction it's more valuable than the too often biased critics (that are payed to give good reviews), that most of the time play the game only a few hour and don't go enough in dept.

How many versions of the game are there??
Says Distribution: Steam in the Infobox, but I do NOT think this is it.
Such as:
1) UBI (non-Steam) digital download.
2) UBI (non-Steam) DVD physical media.
3) Steam
4) Russian versions/etc.
Someone please add info! Thanks in advance for any such info.
