re: Ellderon
i think it would need a sign and an arrow next to it, saying that it's a paladin. otherways people, including me, would think it's either superman or maybe batman -- something that would be available by a cheat code like the aoe photon man (strangely, with william the conqueror style sword this time). i guess you knew it yourself, don't know why i am saying it, really.

Very good point, Vlaad.
Fabrice, please change the bulky manga creatures into something a bit more proportionally realistic. Thanks.
Pop: My point is merely that if you sugarcoat your messages a bit, people may be more inclined to listen. I've learned this the hard way. Don't fall for that kind of bs myself, but most people seem to  .
And my ears are very sensitive, thank you.

Vlaad: I certainly hope the final version of the angel will be totally different than what we're seeing now, but I don't really believe it.
DonGio: I knew you were OK... Just that I'm not in the mood for sweettalk. It's hard to tell when people need to be talked to or when they need a good beating...

Just another observation: how are we going to zoom out of what we see in the screenshots? The map objects and creatures are already too small (too realisticaly small) and if you zoom out of those pictures you won't see a damn. On the battlefield is the same thing. Try looking at the screenshots on the official website (smaller versions) and see that e.g. the griffin in the back is already small. If you zoom out it will remain as an orange spot.

I think some objects look small because the 3D, I mean the griffin is there and the marksman is here... when you have the normal view... all units will be at the same distance... or at least the distance will be more equal to all units...

How about the "peasant" in the first screenshot that was released (the one with the hero closest) that is standing right in front of the CLOSEST building.
Notice this: he is the closest one to the hero and I can hardly see it! Unless I play H5 on 21' screen I will not see it (especially when playing at night... ). It will be very interesting to see how they can make this playable. And even if it will be playable, how they will make it reasonable. I want a clear view, not little soldiers like in their blitzkrieg (I hope they will not combine etherlords with blitzkrieg in what they have worst).

just a question
is everything being discussed now similar to how it was discussed when heroes IV was being made. as in people not liking certain and screenshots being closly looked at to find the smallest detail?

if the camera will be far the crearures will not have so much zoom differences. i hope that'll be used for the battle.
as for the adventure map, if there is any, i am undecided. maybe the camera should be close to hero's head, putting more stress on 'adventure' or high up putting more stress on 'map'.

i mean, if you hadn't written that it's a paladin and confirmed that it's a homm paladin, i would never have guessed what you meant by the picture.

I certainly hope that the'll use up the "adventure" some other time, and give us the "map" for the sake of heroes. From those screenshots no strategy (perhaps not even tactics) is allowed. I don't suppose this needs any explaining, we all agree, right? Maybe that's what they have called "mature gameplay".

Maybe can be a different cameras like the EA sports games(FIFA, NBA, NFL) I mean not just the same camera and zoom in and zoom out... maybe we will be able to change to a totally diferent camera, 2 or 3 cameras with zoom in and zoom out options... that is common not in strategy games but yes in other games... so why not apply this kind of camera system on heroes V?

Cut me some slack...I've only worked on it for half an hour...
And you are right about one thing...it's a modification of an old superhero model...LOL

You're jumping to a lot of conclusions here, guys.
If we have 3D, chances are we'll have free camera as well.

Seemingly off topic...
Are these screenshots of Spellforce 2 from the game?

New screenshots!! 
EDIT:
It seems like those again were leaks that should not have been published yet ... 
EDIT2: No leak - just slow Ubi /EDIT
/EDIT
We get to see new stuff
click me, I am an enchanted Prince!

Looks like there's a Monk or Priest, too.

To me it look like a lot of news but no news.
I guess we will all wait for HyDrA's analysis, he does it better than anybody, so I will comment only on the gross aspects:
We certainly have a rotating camera in battle.
Spell and creature animation looks promising.
We still do not have a map view.
Castle looks different than H3 (a lot better than H4; a precise development of the artwork - thank you very much)
and a bit like medieval drawings (I'll wait for Gerdash's approval on that, he's the expert). What I don't find yet is it's functionality. I tryed to identify individual buildings, like dwellings, mage tower, or anything else and the only possible clues are some white flags on certain buildings. Maybe there are none built yet?
Oh, I also saw some new artwork of elementals, zombies and efreets... efreets are very cool, but the others arange from ugly to crappy.

 I don't know what do you think but I see this strange creature is a kind of heroe... we see this unit in battle so I think this is the variation system that they speak of... I mean they say something like you can choice between heroes 3 style (Heroes just cast spells) or heroes 4 style (Heroes fight hand to hand)

My guess is that it is the Inferno Hero.
He has the same (or similar) orange circle under his feet as the hero on gorse on the other pic with the succubus behing the sunflowers, guarding resources and treasure chests.
And the Warrior (we know him from other screens) guards that mine.
