2 TrangOul: no, it's special building.
But I cannot be confident, what Ankh will enter in final variant of town.
2 jasbat2030: I think, what "view in town" for Bastion will be finished in 2 weeks.

update from Heroes Portal
LEOSAN:
The NTG team is working on the town for quite some time now. So here’s an obvious question: what’s ready?
NordStar:
Creatures’ graphics are 90-95% ready. It means that only def-file is standing in the way of their insertion into the game. Town’s appearance is 60% ready. And the music, basically.
LEOSAN:
The recently introduced town screen looks fine. Is it final?
NordStar:
No, it isn’t final. The scarabs’ dwelling is being designed at the moment. We will also change the landscape a bit, add some decorative elements and that famous “houses”.
LEOSAN:
What can you tell about Bastion’s specific buildings?
NordStar:
First of all, the marketplace will have two upgrades – first for resources (basic) and second for gold. It is not typical of other towns. And the idea is that this should emphasize the economic power of the town. There are thoughts of an original moat for the town, but this moment is not entirely decided and may be changed yet. Much depends on implementation possibility. There will be a building which increases defenders’ speed by 1 during town siege by enemy. Here I should note that an alternative idea appeared recently. It is funny that the idea originates from graphics, not vice versa. That is to say, idea of the graphics appeared first, and the properties for it – later.
There definitely will be a building for raising skills for money. As well as a blacksmith upgrade for purchasing additional war machines. Maybe that’s all. One more thing is reserved, but its appearance is unlikely, so I won’t mention it.
LEOSAN:
Impressive.
Especially raising skills for money… Wouldn’t that be a disbalance in team’s opinion?
NordStar:
No, as this feature will be limited strongly. So it won’t break the balance.
LEOSAN:
And the Grail? Are it’s properties decided?
NordStar:
Actually they are, except perhaps some possible corrections during the implementation process. Here I’ll keep some secrets, as it is surely no fun to know just everything in advance. I’ll just say that the Grail’s effect will be very unusual for HMM, but quite logical for such a town. A straight-away warning: where there is Grail – forget about balance. Although, the Bastion’s Grail is unlikely to become the most powerful among the other towns. At least it’s far from Conflux in power.
LEOSAN:
Well, that’s the main thing.
Alas, an old set of new monster pictures is still displayed on the site. What about pictures of the monsters not currently displayed? When will we be able to see them?
NordStar:
I would not like to make promises. Actually, it is possible at any moment. Depends on the situation with the site.
I’d say that everything goes quite well – at the moment, the Scarab, Overseer and Guardian are ready, Amt and Ammut are coming soon, also all kinds of Anubises. When I say “they are ready”, I mean the graphics. After it, there will be much unpleasant minor work for which we had no time yet. Hope there will be some soon.
LEOSAN:
The Heroes section is a pleasure to look at. The descriptions are complete and interesting. Are these ready heroes, or just examples?
NordStar:
The ones displayed on the site are ready for implementation (some are implemented in the emulator). More than half of all heroes are decided now, but the portraits are not ready for every of them. That isn’t really a huge problem, but we draw them from scratch so we need time. They will be soon displayed on the site. Although, some properties may only be implemented in version 3.59, as they concern heroes’ magic.
LEOSAN:
Did you think through the story of appearance of a new town in the Heroes world?
NordStar:
Yes, we did. So to speak, a global warming.
LEOSAN:
Can you describe the story briefly?
NordStar:
Very briefly:
End of the war between good and evil forces, mean and tough Mutare Drake comes across some wild nations in her vast empire. And then a war for honor and love commences.
LEOSAN:
Campaign for the new town. What development stage is it on now, how many maps are ready, and will there be something new for us? And, finally, what language will it be in?
NordStar:
The original campaign is being created in Russian, but there also will be an English release. The campaign is behindhand among other works now. There is not much ready yet, so we would always appreciate some help – if you are good at map drawing (not even ERM scripting), welcome to the team.
LEOSAN:
What do you personally like most in the new town?
NordStar:
A provocative question.
Personally I am occupied by this all for so long, that right now I like most the people I’m working together with. They are great guys, fanatics of the Heroes, and I get real pleasure from communicating with them.
LEOSAN:
By the way, speaking of fanatics.
I’ve accidentally came across the site of some DTT team which seems to be trying to develop another town. What do you think of it?
NordStar:
The dark elves’ town?
I can only wish them good luck. Especially knowing how hard it is to achieve a good quality.
LEOSAN:
Is there an approximate date of Bastion’s release?
NordStar:
Approximate, yes. Hope that it is just my arrant pessimism to blame for it being such as it is. Of course, I won’t name it.
LEOSAN:
Well, let this mysterious note be the end of our interview.
Thank you and good luck to your project!
NordStar:
Good luck to you too.

Map Making
I would like to create the campaign for the new town. I've sent you my two latest maps via e-mail, NordStar. Write to me if I can join the team(tntvteod@neobee.net).
Bastion is wonderful. It needs badly a good campaign.

I agree completely. It is going to be the most beautiful creature in H3, but won't fit in.
Is this the actual size? The man is way too small...!

Maybe the elephant it's bigger than a regular one, and this way the human should look smaller.
...and by the way... even if it doesn't really fit in the HOMM world I think an exception can be made... it looks to good to be left out

UPDATE
Creatures:
Oliphaunt
It seems the final version won't have the rider.  I can't wait to start demolishing castle walls with these...!
Sekhmet
The graphics need polishing. I don't like the concept either. 
Wanderer
These look great, although I preferred the other rendition.  What's wrong with Nomads, though?!
Overseer
My favorite...!  Simple but cool!

Yes, it's true. Elephants will be without riders.

Don't worry about the sizes of creatures. I promise, that each creatures of the Bastion will have the sizes similar to other already available creatures. All will be executed in style of Heroes 3.
Window of creatures states on a site and in game have the different sizes. And then, the sizes of essences on a site differ from game. I say again - everyone creatures will be make to style of original game. Including the sizes of monsters.
