Exactly

Well then, you are gonna have to wait and see the credits won't you?

She's the one from the trailer where the spider symbols are evident.

My thoughts exactly.

Why do you think they were invited there?

And where did you draw that conclusion pray tell..?

Storyline goes without saying, I am simply commenting on a gameplay level.

Haven won't be exactly the same but similar yes. Gameplay however will take a more defensive/magical approach than the charge & slaughter we had in H5 and its units will have their share of abilities.

Strategy and tactics are hardly the same but in heroes you need them in equal measure. Besides.. the interesting part IS the battle.

What I got was: - Specific topography (various sizes and shapes for the battle arenas) - Dynamic topography (seashore battle with the tide flooding the arena turn by turn) - Different combat objectives (hold your ground for X turns, defend this sacred shrine at the center of the arena, kill a specif...

There will be larger battlefield sizes, also caravans are out because they won't be needed in the new system.

Sure but I'm not convinced that this is the case. This is a plain ripoff of a real culture, one that would look real uncomfortable in combat as well. The rest are rather realistic in comparison.

Surely you don't expect a naga faction looking like this? H6 unit design is coherent from what you may have seen, those would make no sense not to mention they are from 2007 or something. I bet black hole wasn't even in the game back then.

There's nothing official about it but they did say there will be a new faction. It is a probability, then again most people thought we'd see nagas in tote as well. Ubi is notorious for leaving a lot of hints that may or not play a role later.

The idea is a lot of fun but actual implementation suffers from very limited mana. I mean when you start with 20 mana and the cheapest spell is 8 mana you don't get a lot of action, to increase that you need to research casting specialist I, II, III, IV each adding 10 mana. It offers a lot of freedo...

In short.

I think what we are more interested in is the implementation I doubt we'll know anytime soon though.

No I am referring to the boss fights, different shapes, dynamic battlefield, different objectives instead of just kill everything. Unit system is different not only in the change of levels but also in that there is a pool of available units from which you can divide those of the same tier. If core h...

You got the champion wrong
