'''Might & Magic Heroes VI''' is a [[turn-based strategy]] game for [[Windows]], developed by [[Black Hole Entertainment]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. It is the sixth installment in the {{c|Heroes of Might and Magic}} series, and was released on October 13, [[2011]], coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the Might and Magic franchise. Heroes VI acts as a prequel to [[Heroes of Might and Magic V]], occurring almost five centuries earlier, and is set in the fictional world of Ashan. The story follows the five heirs to the Griffin dynasty in their quests to repel a demon invasion and assist or impede Michael, a legendary Archangel general plotting to revive an ancient war. Two digital versions were released, titled '''Might & Magic Heroes VI: Gold Edition''' (shortened to '''Might & Magic Heroes VI Gold''' on Steam) and '''Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition'''. Gold Edition includes the original game and both original DLC packs: ''Danse Macabre Adventure Pack'' and the ''Pirates of the Savage Sea Adventure Pack''. Complete edition includes the Gold Edition plus the Shades of Darkness DLC (a standalone campaign).


'''''Might & Magic Heroes VI''''' is an upcoming [[turn-based strategy]] video game for [[Microsoft Windows]], the sixth installment of the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' series. Currently scheduled for release on September 8, 2011 it is being developed by [[Black Hole Entertainment]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. It was announced on 17 August 2010 and was featured at Gamescom.
As in previous Heroes of Might and Magic titles, the player can choose between single player or multiplayer modes of play, and controls a number of heroes and towns associated with various factions, commanding armies of creatures between tactical overland exploration and a turn-based combat system to satisfy each scenario's victory conditions. Heroes VI alters some of the series' long-standing conventions, overhauling its chance-based skills system and reducing the number of resources in its economics model, and also introduces new mechanics, including a points-based reputation system and the ability to convert one faction's towns to another.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of ''Heroes VI'' represents a stepaway 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, every faction now features one single hero class (instead of two), evenly adept in weaponry and spellcasting. Another example is 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. Finally, the game will feature only three collectable resources (instead of the initial six): gold, wood and blue crystals. [[Multiplayer]] will be present.
 
==Plot==
''Heroes VI'' is a prequel to the main campaigns of ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic V]]'', taking place four centuries earlier in the world of Ashan. A legendary Archangel general, revived hundreds of years after perishing during the Elder Wars, plots to recover his powers and take control of Ashan while battling a supposed Demon invasion, but is impeded by the Griffin dynasty. The campaign protagonists of the five factions are members of the Griffin family, the children of Duke Slava. A hero named Sveltana has been prominently featured in screenshots to date. The campaigns can be played in any order, and are interconnected.
 
==Factions==
There will be five factions in the game: Haven, Sanctuary, Inferno, Necropolis and Stronghold. The first two factions are considered "good" and primarily master light magic. The second two are considered "evil" and mostly adorn dark magic. Stronghold is neutral between both types of magic, rather relying on the might of its warriors, however Stronghold heroes will have the possibility to learn both types of magic.
