The Heroes Round Table

Dwarves - the new Dungeon? Hope not.

Same with the neck. Guess it's just his thing? I suppose dragon gods don't really worry themselves with accurate anatomy.

All praise the holy floating spear *kneels*

I hope not, or we'd be missing quite a few staple creatures.

They actually look menacing this time around, that's certain.

I don't know about discovery, such screenshots have been posted numerous times before. And I'm sure any proper Heroes fan has managed to accumulate such a force at least once in their experience

I concur that third place looked best out of the three.

I believe a video about reputation has already been released a while ago. Either that, or it was a text answer. Whichever it was, it's already been explained.

It's still a bit odd playing without learning spells from towns, but the new system seems nice, less restrictions and more customization.

I'm glad he referred to it as Heroes of Might and Magic.
Also, I found his introduction into the series rather funny.
"Hey, guy I just met at a party, write me a whole new soundtrack for a game, something you've never done before. By next Monday. Here's $400."
"OK!"

I don't think you should be paying much attention to the resources here. Doesn't really look like your regular match...

I completely missed the little icons on the bottom, near the hero portrait, up until this video. They seem to be some sort of favorite/frequently used spells/abilities list. Can anyone confirm? A very welcome feature.

That sounds very interesting. Wonder if the same or similar will apply to other elementals? Saltwater elemental? Breeze elemental? Lava elemental? I hope QD's conjectures are correct.

I wish I could draw something more than a stick-hero. Was there one like this with Heroes 5?
Looking forward to some new wallpapers x)

"The ones with the faces are gorgeous, but some of the other ones could do with some more contrast."

On the contrary, in my opinion, the ones with the faces look out of place, especially Berserk. A graphic style fits icons more.

Only the last two are yet to be named (on the official site, at least).
Second one is pretty obvious I think, Summon Fire Elemental. As for the first one, looks like some sort of protection spell - fire shield or fire resistance, I suppose.

Seems like "Might and Magic: Paydirt" to me.

Is it me, or haven't they yet shown a single weapon artefact? Is this their way of saving best for last?

I like the crossbowman's H4 Crusader-esque death animation.

Or maybe it's the gritty end of a tale in which a greedy warlord got overthrown by a revolution and the sorcerer rebel leader cursed him to vomit gold coins. He got banished to the icy wastelands, where he wandered for a while until he finally succumbed to the terrible curse and died in a last pool ...
