Poll Question:
Do you think that the spring/river spirit should be changed from the line-up?
They look ALOT like the glorys from haven + the maiden from this water faction and i sure hope that the developers will hear our call and change this unit to some more appropriate(a see monster or something).You can come with suggestions for new monsters(monsters not humanoids  ),discussions,anything you want about this unit.

Dude, don't bother; nothing's getting changed at this point. Way too late in the development cycle.

I agree with SwampLord but I still want them changed or removed, even if it is impossible 
And yeah if they really have an awesome animation and/or awesome abilities then of course I would be content with them. But not if they are anything like in the artwork. Aka a boring water elemental....

Erwan's already pretty much said the game is slated for March, so I'm sure everything but name changes (if even that) has been finalized. Hell, I'm betting the game is already completed... generally games are completed months before the release cycle. At this point they're probably sitting on a bunch of information that they intend to release in bursts over the next two months.
Despite my reservations and complaints recently, I think they're probably confident of the final product, and I'm at least willing to give it a chance. I would say that you should probably at least give it more of a chance than merely seeing its artwork. Who knows what kind of effects, animations, abilities it has... and even whether its a ranged or melee creature.

How hard is it to change one unit? heck they don't even have to change the IDEA of the unit, just change the model. Because it looks exactly like the Glory model, and very similar to the snow maiden's model. TBQH i think that they should ax the snow maiden, make that model the spring spirit model, and put something ala H3 fortress in THAT spot. because I don't understand how a ICE unit fits into a water/jungle faction.

There's simply no way they could create an entire new unit, voice it, create the sfx for it, and get it into the game in the time they have left. Not realistic; even the names of some units couldn't be changed.

They're as close to the Glory as a lady in an evening dress is to a lady wearing only a bikini, they're fine by me.

It's one, 2 units, it won't take them that long, or SHOULDN'T take that long. They had "unexpected time" add the snow terrain, they'd better have time to fix a bad creature. Quite frankly I'd rather have them release a delayed quality product than release this blatantly copy pasted crap.

. well yes except they are the exact same woman wearing two outfits, being 2 units.

What should be changed is the ice maiden.

Well that should be changed too, I think theyshould just modify the ice maiden, make it less "icy" and make that the spring spirit model.

Am I the only one who likes the River spirit?
It's the Glory that bugs the hell out of me. Keep the River Spirit, I say, and replace the Radiant Glory.

Well I don't really like the glory either, but the fact that it looks like the glory ISN'T the only reason why I don't like the River Spirit. At least the glory is/was unique. As far as design foes it looks fine. It's the fact that it way to similar thematically to the snow maiden AND looks a lot like the glory.

I could say the same about the Tormentor and the Ghoul. If they need to differentiate they could make the Glory orange and give her even fewer patterns.

The ghoul and tormentor? they look at least reasonably different. although the ghoul does look a bit too similar to the Maniac IMHO. At least the tormentor is bigger, badder and in a different teir.

There's as many similarities between them as between the Glories and the Spirits.

They both have swirly light patters, have the EXACT SAME face, both have the same hair style, same pose, same proportions, are both blue, glow.
Tormentor, and ghoul.
both are skinny, have blades on their hands, are standing in the same pose.

Except that they don't have the same proportions, not even close, the Spirit has that watery base, something the Glory doesn't have. Oh, and the hairstyles are different as well, although that's pretty much academic since you won't believe it.

I wouldn't worry about it. Honestly.
Compare the artwork of the Marksman to the in-game model on the Heroes VI site. They're actually drastically different. While I prefer the original, it proves that artworks are not final. My guess is that either the Glory/Spirit's similarity isn't an accident. How, you ask? I'm guessing that one or the other was created first, but then redesigned, then the one made next utilized the original's design somewhat.
In other words, it's either:
Radiant/Blazing Glory artwork = Old (has been since redesigned, with an as-of-yet unknown new appearance)
Spring/River Spirit artwork = New (utilizing the Glory's old design)
OR
Radiant/Blazing Glory artwork = New (utilizing the Spirit's old design)
Spring/River Spirit artwork = Old (has been since redesigned, with an as-of-yet unknown new appearance)
Have some faith, these guys aren't stupid.
