The last picture is the best so far, doubtless. That's the direction TS should follow.

Dont forget it is still a work in progress. If we are lucky enough and if the devs are listening, they will change it before they implement it
There's no doubt about that.
The question is; to what extent?

@Lawmaker & Galaad Beautiful! Please Ubi, pretty, pretty please, make this happen and upgrade the townscreen(s) like Lawmaker did!
(Sorry for the excitement. I'm "fanboying" right now.)

Glad you like it
Altho i should mention it's not my doing. I just scouted for town pic that would seem most apropriate and added building name tags 
Altho I think it wouldn't be that hard to use this ideas with photoshop and Google SketchUp if i would have the time, the will and dedication ... all of which i unfortunatly lack
Now ... to reality. Altho it's "work in progress" I don't think town screen will change much. Most that we can hope for is that they add buildings / farms in background, or modify immage like some of you guys did. They won't redo the whole TS and swich to diferent view perspective. And if they add atleast those buildings, I will be pefectly happy.
To be completly hornest, I am happy we got town screens at all. This is Ubi we're talking about afterall ... rest is more nitpicking imo.

I'm still hoping that notable improvements will be made and that the release version will come with better townscreens than these ones we got right now. But even if we don't, given enough pressure, they will give in and do it. Just think of Heroes 6, Ubi and all and they still tried to make amends! Plus, I don't think Limbic's that hardheaded but on the contrary, they proved to be a lot more reasonable than even I expected - see #GURS.
Worse case scenario I'm willing to consider is that we'll get decent townscreens with the first expansion, but nothing less than that.

somehow i expect nearly no change at all.. dont know exactly why, i guess thats the impression they gave to me.
best option= redo
second option= improvements like lawmaker+galaad did.
worst option= leave it with smaller grail pokemon and name it "final version".
lets see what will they do.
@galaad
snow fits definetly better, because we all know that those roof shapes are for cold climates, we are of this or not we all know it. feels right this way. but image seems like distorted? but again, great work

I liked the summer one better. Just saying. However this gives me idea.
Immagine if townscreens would alterate between seasons depending on months. Like every month diferent season. It can even be just summer and winter variant. Or maybe 2 months. For the size of Ashan I wouldn't be surprised if they realisticly know only 2 seasons, winter and summer, each lasting 2 months.
Ofc. that would mean other factions would need 2 versions of towns aswell...

well for expansion i think it's totaly plausible. Since layout of buildings etc are all the same, it's more or less copy-paste, with details - like snow on roofs for winter type buildings. It could't be even that. Maybe just snowflakes and darker lightning + patches of snow on grass ... and voila. Something like Galaad did would be total decent if you ask me.

love it. lightning gets a bit weird (heavy snowing, indicating the sky is covered in clouds yet there is clearly very strong sunlight shining) though i understand that is next to impossible to do anything about if you're just editing an existing picture

The idea is cool but they won't ever consider it.
For sure. Seasons or day/night cycles were never featured in HoMM (didn't play 6th, were they?). It makes no sense to have a heavy winter when open town screen when your town may be in desert, grass or other generic terrains.

@Salamandre: ummm i don't think there's a poblem here. I mean, I know where you're comming from, but this has been the case always in series. Ever played dungeon town, while on surface? Sure. I played that many times. Or dwarven town in H5, or Mage town in H3 in middle of dessert... this was common standard.
It is also worth to mention i play most of the time with random town, so in fact the times where town screens would match the actual surroundings were realy rare. Most people would be content if there was winter version of human town. And i can see this can work. I myself don't think it's a bad idea. And with that said, there will ofc be loads of situations when you will simply play on a desert map. How do you justify that then?
And also - if cycles were never part of series before, why would that be reason to not include them now? yes let's not add anything new. The series should reman the same. I'm sorry but i don't share this logic.

In VI we had to wait patch 1.5 for townscreens. Besides.

I never said such, you are speculating. But adding seasons or day/night cycles would require every graphic redone, not only towns, or you think they will add a filter as Galaad then job is done? Then music too. Battles obstacles, etc etc.
Btw if you animate that screen, the storm intensity will make the dwellings selection very tedious, imo. From what I remember Heroes towns always had subtle animations to help creatures recruiting.
