WTF are you saying ? There will be townscreens ...

No. These "things" aren't worthy to be called Town Screens.
And yes the H5 town screens ware becoming tiresome after a while but head there charm and a lot of people loved it a but to go from there to having a windowed screen that presents a town and maybe some important buildings would be represented (only changed when the Town reaches level 10, the 20 and finally 30 something) by a new picture its a bit to minimal (or non at all and just have a screen whit building section and hire creatures, the closest I can think of is King's Bounty), as I said a H3 like Town Screen whit some animation and all the dwelings/building you build aper on the Town screen would be Ok but not even that seams to be available, but a might be just a pessimist and my head just things of the worst possible outcome right now but still entering your town has its one charm and can enhance ones immersion within the game and set fantasy ... but that's just me others might not be bothered by that fact and see it as a hindrance to fighting and exploring (something that Kings Bounty offered)

The news is just a screenshot of Michael in-game 
But seriously, I don't really know what could be the advantage of revealing nagas in an hungarian site few people knew before the begginig of last week.
All this secret about this faction just to be revealled in some random site? This doesn't make sense.

Well, I thought that the window thing was part of the placeholder too. It looks like that it's not. I don't like that, and really, how can anyone like it? This goes beyond the debate wether we like them 3D or 2D. I mean, even if it was 3D, being only in window mode, I would still not like it. I wonder how can anyone like it?

Why would anybody care if it's in a window? I don't see the need to assign an inherent value to being displayed in full screen. That's so arbitrary.
If it's a 2D town screen, unless it's some sort of vector image (seems unlikely), it's pretty much GOT to be windowed if the game is going to support multiple screen sizes and resolutions. And I'm fine with that if it looks nice and is functional.

I don't see how different resolutions is going to be a problem for full screen towns. I've played H3, H4, and H5 in many different monitors and resolutions in H5, and never did I encounter a problem either in performance or visuals, and they were full screen. Not at least something related to the town screens. So what are you talking about?

Why would we care? It's not so hard to imagine, really. Cause besides "functionality" or "gameplay speed" there are other aspects people can care about.
We care about "the feeling" of a town. It's our mighty home. And it won't feel much like home if displayed in a tiny window.

Resolution support is really a minor issue. Avoidable if they really wanted full screen town view.
So, window is what they explicitly want and are satisfied with. All other explanations are over-analyzing things  .
It is "simpler, faster HoMM" and they are sticking to it in many aspects, including town screen.
Only time will tell was it a good call. I hope it was.

How can people not be furious about that we have recent info saying that they will completly kill the old towns!
Having a tiny, little window is in NO WAY the same as having a full-scaled, epic, beautiful town with an amazing music score.
Removing REAL towns is the WORST change in H6 BY FAR.
And now we wait for the hungarian news which is going to be artifact pictures, SOTD and some lame non-relevant thing. Well, I hope not. I hope its gonna be epic, I hope its gonna show FULLSCREEN TOWNS and I hope they will reveal Naga though that doesnt feel likely as they would probably have another press release for such a major announchment.
The best news would be that they removed the Maniac, Spring Spirit, FAKE Medusa and make the Lamasu a female again,  PPppppPPppp

Lamasu is female! She's just ugly like a hag...
Gosh, you people were complaining that all the females are sex bombs, and now that of them is not, you don't even acknowledge it of being a female?

Then you don't understand screen resolution. H3 runs at a fixed resolution and reduces your screen's displayed pixels to match it. H5 is in full 3D, so it can be scaled to match your settings. If they want to use a 2D town screen, to be full screen it would have to be rendered at every offered resolution. Putting it in a window solves that.

Indeed except for me the inferno hero was the one I liked most and also if look on it well enough looks to be a female Infernal knight model casting magic from what i gather ... nice
EDIT
Guess will have some info on the female models for the heroes depending on path chosen blood or tear ...

Ok, maybe the necro Might Hero is a bit overreacted the female inferno hero is well.. weird but the rest are pretty nice, and remind them next time to make the "content" longer than the opening with those logos.

The animations look great. The Heroes will be much more engaging than in previous Heroes battles (aside from IV, obviously).

Probably we will see the Q&A tomorrow.
I don't care much for the heroes... if the video was about creature models I would find it great.

I was so expecting them to fix the unthinkable sin done to the heroes by makin them unique yet they have chosen to leave them the same soulless, generic heroes with no charm how hard it is to put a face instead of a halmet ?

Well, I can think of at least 2 game-changing, explosive QAs:
"Q:Will the Naga be the fifth race?
A:H*ll no, we were just messing with you. LOL, right?"
Q:"How many factions will there be?
A: 9. We were originally going for 5, but awesome-as-**** BH
found the time and resources necessary to include 4 perfectly balanced, not in the least half-finished others"
BOOM!!!

It seems I have missed something. Is there a new video of the heroes out there? If that's the case were did you see that?

I did not expect Naga at all, as UbiHole already said that they will save major announchments for press releases and events. I did however, expect something more than a video of Hero animations.
Not to sound too whiny, but how was this a "bomb" in any way?
I had hoped for some gameplay video without another faction than Haven. Now we know all Haven core abilities except Pacify.
Let's hope the QA includes a lot of new stuff then!
