I found this at 3mages.
Were we supposed to have Rakshasas in the game?

Oh, great, another four-armed creature.
How am I supposed to tell this one apart from the naga?

i don't think we will see it in the game, at least in the vanilla, since it wasn't found in the game unlike the faceless or the bosses.

Looks to organic to me.
I liked it better when they were VENGEFUL SPIRITS FROM AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION!
But yeah, Academy ftw. Miss Titans, Rakshasas, Djinns and Mages so much. Gremlin, Golem and Gargoyle? No thanks!
Also Elvin, about the H6 Promotion movement.
I think it's best to wait for release and see if the MAJOR MAJOR balance problems in the beta have been fixed et cetera.

That is fair to say xerox. But the point I wanted to make is that the game is constantly improving, even with the major issues fixed, the game will need some more love to fully blossom. And that is where we can help. I am not suggesting to blindly support the game but if you find that the release version is satisfactory then you should probably support it because it is going to get better, much better. On my end I know that the final version is much more advanced than 1.4, not to mention the 1 day patch.
Anyway thanks for joining

They mentioned there would be performance improvements too for the final release...am wondering if this will improve the loading of the game on my Core 2 Duo? Sometimes objects (like town models, heros, buildings, neutrals) take a while to load up....
@Mike80D -> They not selling the game on disc in USA? Surely they must do....

@Wckey
Nice catch in the artwork topic. Namtaru and black dragons animation, some special characters and many more. The parody is, that the gray models of the slovakia company actually look better to me then the in-game models.
Edit: Who didn't see it I recomend to watch the full lenght funny animation video
Hilarious
Edit: So this is how the new Rakshas could look like, well somehow this spoils the idea of an Elf vs Darkelf expansion

I love the Rakshasas and all but I feel that the Kenshi took their place for Heroes VI. They feel kinda redudant now. So I hope these are just sketches from the earliest stages of the game's development when they were just coming up with ideas and all.
If the Academy is to return, they should come up with a new creature to take the place of both Rakshasas and Nagas.

They will call it Arcane Spirit.
It will be almost identical to the Rakshasa, who will then become a neutral creature.

That would make sense if they had already created a Rakshasa model. But they have the Kenshi model to recolor and rename.
Well, no, I don't really think they will drops so low.

Come on, rakshasas are fun And compared to the kenshi they don't even play alike so I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

Ditto. Now the gargoyles, I could do without, especially in the 1001 nights style Academy. Then again, in my opinion H2 had it right-I definitely prefer them as a Dungeon creature.

I liked these gargoyles, they fit with the trend even though they were awkward. Truth be told though, I liked all other gargoyles better.
Rakshasas were actually my favorite unit in the entire H5 roster. Well, arguably so... But it feels like now that the Kenshi have replaced them. Kenshi are perfect too, so just come up with a different creature for academy.

What is this:
Djinn?
Air elemental without effects?

Yes that one stumped me for a second but I'm pretty sure it's an air elemental.

It looks like an air elemental to me, WIP. If it's anything else, I'll be disappointed.

It's the air elemental without effects and with a different kind of missile (probably an early version, just like the weaver's laser)
I don't like the rakshasa model, too beefcake-y and unoriginal for my tastes.
Anyway, I remember seeing this image on Eugene_Xaar's blog (this post)
I guess they had Academy on their minds once but eventually decided not to include it in the vanilla?
Well, at least we know what to expect in the first expansion*
*I'm kidding. Don't expect anything, ever. We know how that went the last time.

Nice find. Hmm, I hope this is not the case of having something ready secretly but not making it available in release just to sell it with DLC.
