Speed is different from initiative, is it not?
So a swordsman could have better reaction time because he didn't have to relay information to his horse, but a horseman would still move farther during its turn.

If initiative and speed are decoupled again, that's not an unreasonable assumption.

Yeah, but take a look of H5 and H6 initiative for the cavalier/sunrider they likely act before infantry (swordman,sentinel and crossbowman also)
So in H5 and H6 the horses were more... clever

Direwolf have a crazy initiative of 40!
Followed by crossbowman with 20!
But Horseman have only 12 initiative so he acts relatively late in the turn... strange because it's the cavalry not the infantry...
And the Swordbearer with 18 initiative (representative of infantry) acts before the cavalry.
Speaking of swordbearer lot of people said "nothing impressive" but i think it's a good idea that changes the perpetual Angel...
Moreover Angel will be likely the second champion so don't be worry my friends!
I agree, no offense I like Angel ,but I can describe It with one word: boring. Beautiful ,but boring. Also quite like Swordbearer.

Oh nice where did you get those?
I really like the Academy line-up so far. Could become my favorite faction in this Heroes game. I suppose the last remaining unit for Academy will be some kind of wizard.

I changed name of creatures in already available icons.
For example static14.cdn.ubi.com/mmh7/prod/images/units/academy/PIC_creature_academy_djinn.png to static14.cdn.ubi.com/mmh7/prod/images/units/academy/PIC_creature_academy_golem.png

Haven has always rotated around the same units since H3, really. They rarely have innovation on their lineup, and when it happens...well, see H6 glories
At least this time we have wolves and crusaders Swordbeares, they spice up the faction while keeping a more, human approach. And I like it

Sure. I've tried to use all possible variants for the griffin, mage, gremlin and priest (including the names of creatures from M&M: DoC) but it didn't work.

Curious, I was certain of the Griffins at least. I mean, what's Haven without Griffins nowadays.

Thanir said: - you have to register your game in Uplay once, after that you can play it offline
Similar to H6 I think. What's important to know is if it's capped like H6 offline
Thanir said: - the sector control system with its forts as in H6 will return although there will be some changes to the system
Well, they can be destroyed according to screenshots, we know that.
Thanir said: - permanently changes to the adventure map will be possible (they mention an avalanche from a mountain that can block a path and they mention destroying a statue in the underworld to drain a sea in the world above which then results in a new explorable area where the sea was before)
Mmm..not sure about this, we need more info.
Thanir said: - there will be a new flanking system for the battle system, attacks from the side and from behind will do more damage to a creature
So like Heroes Online, but in squares. Could be fun!
Thanir said: - spells are no longer permanently learned as skills as in H6, you have to buy them in a town or find them on the adventure map (it's not worded that clear in the article but to my understanding they simply return to the old spellsystem)
Sounds like Magic Guilds to me

It's quite possible they haven't uploaded all images yet. Griffin is an iconic creature for the Haven of Ashan. Not sure they decided to leave it out.
By the way. Elvin, can you tell anything about Julie Murphy, please? Is she back for vocalize?

I wouldn't be surprised if these are only scripted events for the campaign.
