00:10Hello Heroes and welcome to this first Might and Magic Hero 7 gameplay video.
00:15Today we are pleased to show you for the first time alpha footage of the game.
00:20The game features six factions and therefore six campaigns.
00:23For today we want to introduce you to the Haven faction with the first skirmish map of the title.
00:29Most of you should know Haven by now. Haven is a religious medieval empire.
00:33It is a land of farmers, knights, and priests who worship Elrath, the Dragon of Light.
00:38They try to infuse the kingdom with its truth and purity.
00:42In the campaign you will play Thomas, the son of the Duck of Wolf.
00:46He has been sent to exile in a faraway colony by his father after he disappointed him.
00:51But the colony is starting a civil war as orc slaves are beginning to break free from their chains.
00:57Thomas is on the brink of a decisive choice.
01:00Will he support their fair revolt or will he fulfill his duty as a Duke and therefore punish them to
01:06maintain order?
01:07We hope you will enjoy Thomas' adventures.
01:10But for today, let's go back to the skirmish map.
01:13So let's start from the beginning for this first gameplay video.
01:17Now, we know that many of you already are well-trained heroes, but this video is for everyone.
01:23Welcome to Ashan, the fictional world of Might & Magic Hero 7.
01:27In Hero 7, you start in the adventure map.
01:30This will be the main game board of your journey.
01:34In the center, you can find your hero, leader of your armies, and conqueror of New Horizons.
01:40To succeed, you will need to explore the map to gather resources and treasures, fight enemies, or conquer new towns
01:47to develop your power.
01:49First, we have to gather some resources for future town expansions.
01:53In Hero 7, you will be able to collect seven resources, available at the center top of the screen.
01:59Sometimes, resources can be protected, and you will have to fight to exploit their riches.
02:04There is wood around here.
02:09Back to the town.
02:11Towns are the heart of your empire and strategy.
02:14This town is still a small village, but you will be able, along the turns, to build new facilities to
02:21reinforce your strength and enroll more powerful units.
02:25Every day, you will be able to buy new buildings, if prerequisites are met, such as resources, town levels, etc.
02:36We have an example with the barracks.
02:39I can build this building for a small cost.
02:50Now, we are able to recruit sentinels, backbone of the empire's military.
02:55These soldiers will join my troops and increase my army.
02:59Remember that Hero 7 is a turn-based game.
03:03Each turn equals one day.
03:05And every Monday, you will be able to recruit new units.
03:09Let's go back to the adventure map to find more resources.
03:12This mine will give me ore every turn, but it's guarded by enemies' units.
03:18I can fight them to conquer the spot.
03:20Luckily, these units are weak and don't want to challenge me.
03:23They offer to join my army, and I will gladly accept.
03:27I can take the mine.
03:36Oops, I can't move my hero anymore.
03:39Heroes is a turn-based game, so I have a limited number of actions every turn.
03:43I am out of movement points, so I will have to wait for the next day.
03:47You can see on the left of the portrait my available movement points.
03:51And on the right, my mana points.
03:55I can use them to cast spells during combats and in the adventure map.
03:59But for now, my turn is over, so I will let my opponent play.
04:07I can now capture the ore pit.
04:09I will receive ore every turn while I control it.
04:13I will have to protect it because my opponent can come and claim it too.
04:18There are more resources here.
04:20Some gold and woods.
04:22I want to capture the sawmill, but my hero is out of movement points.
04:27He will be more mobile as he gains more and more levels.
04:32It's a new day though, so I can construct a new building.
04:36I will make a Hall of Heroes.
04:38It costs one wood, one ore, and six golds, so I have enough resources.
04:43The Hall of Heroes allows me to recruit new heroes.
04:53I can choose between different types of random heroes.
04:56Each of them has their specific skills, classes, and specialization as you can see on the left.
05:02I will recruit Ella because she is a spellcaster.
05:06She will complete my other heroes.
05:09She also brought her specific army with her.
05:15In the adventure map, every hero is autonomous.
05:19They have their own troops with them and can move independently each turn.
05:23With Ella, I can go to the sawmill, even though my first hero was out of movement points.
05:29The sawmill is protected, but the enemies aren't strong, so I will use the quick combat function to avoid wasting
05:35time.
05:36I will advance further in the game so you can see a bigger combat.
05:43As you can see, I am specialized in prime magic, and this allows me to unlock a Grand Master ability,
05:49which is very powerful.
05:51This one is called Mana Bloom, and will authorize me to cast one spell for zero mana each day.
06:00Back to the adventure map.
06:02I am going to fight for the dwelling on the other side of the sea.
06:05I will need this ship to cross the sea, but some apprentices are guarding it.
06:09I can bribe them, but I think the price is too expensive, and I know you want to see some
06:14action.
06:14I will fight them instead.
06:16I am well prepared, so it should be a smooth fight, or at least I hope so.
06:22Every fight begins with a tactical phase.
06:24I can choose the placement of my troops.
06:27I will put the wolves on the forefront.
06:29The spellcasters and the crossbowmen will be on the sides.
06:33This is a combat map.
06:35It looks like a chess board.
06:36Each unit will act one time each turn.
06:39They can move a number of squares and eventually attack.
06:43The silverback wolves have the most initiative, and will have the opportunity to act first.
06:49But before, I want to cast a spell with Ella.
06:53The heroes don't directly participate in the combats.
06:56However, they can attack and cast spells from behind lines.
07:00There are different schools of magic, like fire, water, or air magic, for instance.
07:05I will cast a sunbeam on an enemy apprentice.
07:12Well, I killed two apprentices. Not very effective.
07:17I will now send my troops into the battle.
07:20The silverback are fast and very aggressive wolves.
07:23I can order them to move, but also to wait, defend, or use Feral Charge.
07:28Feral Charge is a specific ability that increases their movement points to dash onto any target and attack with their
07:35powerful jaws.
07:36But, they are vulnerable to counter-attacks.
07:49I will also move closer to the enemies with my other units.
07:56You may see that I have warfare units in my army.
07:59They are not useful in this combat because the enemy is not hidden behind walls.
08:04But, you will see in another video that catapults are decisive when it comes to siege battles.
08:13The chaplains are the battle priests of Elrath.
08:17They can send light spells from a distance.
08:28Those units are healing sisters.
08:31They will heal the wounds of my troops every turn.
08:35It is a passive ability, so I don't control them directly.
08:38With my guardian, I can choose to attack the side of my opponent.
08:42It's called flanking, and it can do more damage than a normal attack.
08:47Full flanking is an attack from the back, and it's even more powerful.
08:56You may have noticed that my guardian stroke two times.
08:59They are swift and well-trained warriors who can attack twice as much as other units.
09:07I will cast a new spell with my hero.
09:09Storm arrows increase the attack of my crossbowmen for three turns.
09:13They will deal more damages.
09:27Retaliation is the counterattack of a stack of units.
09:35My sentinels managed to kill the enemy disciples.
09:39Okay, well, there's a lot more I could show you, but this video is a quick overview of the game.
09:44I will advance further in the game.
09:51My sentinels just dealt the final blow to the enemies.
09:55My hero is gaining experience after each victory.
09:58Like in an RPG, I will improve my stats and unlock abilities for each new level.
10:03You can also see my casualties.
10:05If I want, I can restart the fight.
10:08I know I haven't been very good, so don't judge me.
10:11But let's continue.
10:12Now, the road to the ship is free.
10:14I will take the loot first.
10:17Gold and resources.
10:18Nice.
10:19There is even a ring of conjuring.
10:22I will equip it later.
10:34The dwelling is still protected by soldiers, but they aren't very strong and don't represent a real challenge.
10:40I will save some time with a quick combat.
10:43The computer will automatically calculate my losses.
10:47As long as I control this dwelling, it allows me to hire more units in the nearby town every week.
10:53Thus, I can increase my army faster and it gives me numerous advantages.
10:59In upcoming videos, we will go more in depth with the gameplay and we will play a different faction in
11:05a new environment.
11:06Thank you all for watching.
11:08I hope you enjoyed the video.
11:23Grazie a tutti
