binding single player game to internet is stupid

[Dreambuilder]

i don't understand why ubisoft is binding single player to the internet.i lost my internet connection and the game instead of letting me keep playing decided to bring me back to my main menu.what a stupid decision.

Wait. It's still bound? I thoguht they patched it out?

Agreed. Only getting to use starting bonuses you've built up if you play online even on single player is daft. You actually can set it to play offline but you lose the bonuses and any saved games you had that you saved when playing online.

When playing single player being online just slows the game's running speed down a bit.

That's the one (and only) design decision i didn't like in Heroes VI - the rest were all improvements imo. The being able to recruit from any town and town portals speeded the game up massively and took out some of the parts that were just boring (endless tours of cities recruiting). The character trees are far better than the other Heroes games imo because there was far more difference between different character classes' and factions' skills.
