Can someone explain the various stat ratings on these creatures? What value is the Knight chess piece suppose to represent? Or the blue flame label?

Are neutrals recruitable? I know creature dwellings now just add to your town's overall creature growth (save for a one-off stack recruitment when you first visit) , but can you still hire units from elemental dwelling?

Also, are these elementals the only neutral creatures now?

For the uninitiated, what on earth is the Widget system?

And by 'Water' do you mean the graphical effect or the new faction which is tied to this element?

Puzzling, but welcome update - keep 'em comin'!

Ok, I did get round to watching the whole thing; thanks doma for posting the link - there's still a dearth of quality information regarding the beta so this will have to do for now. Even though I'm from the UK, I don't really like TotalBiscuits delivery style. And his review of the beta often felt r...

Just read a comment from on a beta tester over on the official forums saying that the game requires a constant online connection if you wish to retain your heroes' profiles. I don't know what this means exactly, but it sounds as if you wanna play just a single-player map you don't have to be online....

What am I missing here? Do these 6 hero classes mean there isn't going to be actual 'named' heroes outside of the campaign maps?

Really like the art of the Inferno town screen, superb. Just a shame it's not interactive :( The ugly interface buttons and unit slots seem like a throwback to H5. Dispense with the 'fisher price' baby buttons and give us a proper town interface please!

Tbh, I'm a little ambivalent towards the whole Dwarven faction. They barely made it into H5, they're not going to make it into the starting line-up of H6, and the chances of them making another expansion cameo are slim. I'll sure miss raiding those dwarven treasuries though....love to see them retur...

Re-launching HOMM without one of its most iconic units is folly. Suggesting it may reappear in some distant expansion really is the worst kind of carrot-dangling that wont appease fans, it just irritates them. Sanctuary should've been held back for the expansion. Not sacrificing two factions to make...

Nimbyism in HOMM (portal placement woes)

The one thing that always irked me slightly about the brilliant HOMM III was the tendency (especially with random map creation) for Monoliths and Subterranean Gates to be placed right next to my starting town. Now these are iconic HOMM map locations, and it'll be interesting to see how they're place...

Hopefully they're having a re-think on the whole Sanctuary faction, considering its lukewarm reception by fans. Perhaps they'll break them up into random neutral creatures, and restore the classic towns that at least looked like a homogeneous fighting force....

It always puzzles me why folks bother to declare their 'un-hyped' status for this game.

Black Hole look set to deliver the lushest looking Heroes ever. Sure, s...

What changes are we talking about here? Fill me in please. Mixed feelings about it being pushed back. More time for bug testing for sure, but what glitches have they hit (serious or otherwise) that have caused this hiccup? Still, September release is cool. Playing videogames in the summertime sucks.

Griffins

The actual in-game model (armoured griffin) does actually look really good. The concept art doesn't do it justice

I actually thought it was some sort of rat-boy after I saw the concept art. But now the unit is up on the Ubi site, it does look rather good. Just a pity the faction itself is rather meh.

I don't think this new faction actually looks like a cohesive army. Some sort of rat boy, water spirits and Samaria-naga. It looks too disjointed. I hate to criticise Black Hole because up until now they looked to have been doing a pretty good job, but this is just...ughhhhr.

So I'm running a Athlon 4800, just below the minimum spec - meet all the other requirements though. If I turn everything to low/off, any chance it'll run? Do hope there's going to be a demo so I can 'test' it.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this new Heroes game. There's a lot to admire about Black Hole's take on the franchise. The new Harpy is the finest looking unit I've seen in any HOMM game, and the ability to convert towns shows they are listening to fans. On the flip side, some of the other units lo...

I think the general consensus is that H3 town portal spell was over-powered. Sure, it was fun to be able to zap to any town, but it quicky became rather game-breaking. Check out the 'adventure map spells' thread here for more opinons....
