If i can say my opinion about HoF, dwarf town it would be: I like it, played(playing) a map with Dwarfs and when you get full town, they are crazy ! I went bezerk with them! Some of their Skills are really great, and their Tier's are not that bad again, Bear riders are not that good, and magma drakes a bit slow! But hey: Rune of charge!! GO GO GO!!!
Their looks AWFULL!, Because you cannot move around it! and weird to look from above! Awfull ! awfull design... Worst thing about them...
But i find them rather strong... Good small haired people... !
Now lets see a new town soon, a swamp town! GET MY WYVERNS BACK!!!

If anyone is using the new game I would love to know if it works for you. I have a dual core high end system and this game will not run (takes 5 mins for a combat). And the best is that it runs a "full screen" window. Is there any QA at UBISoft???
Works fine on a dual core system here. Performance in 2.0 is better than patch 1.4.

Hey, did any of you notice this: The new Ability Icons look like **** - they look like something an amateur did in a bad drawing program, where the old ones looked really nice. Look at Preparation, Eternal Light, Swift Mind and Distract for examples ... Yuck.

I don't understand really why it is so. Like they wanted to make a distinction between skills in add-on and the regular game. Especially when you compare the flames in Master of Fire and Ignite... why god why!?!?

absolutely agree..  After some very nice icons they gave us a piece of crap.. Fortunately, I don't play fortress, and no way I will.

Hey, I hadn't noticed, you are right. Oh well, it's just until 2.1 comes out and Nival fixes it.

About enabling Dwarves heroes/runes/artifacts in old maps, until patch 2.1 is out, here's the mod I made:
http://files.heroesofmightandmagic6.com/heroes5/mods/Maps_HoF.pak
Now, time to give you some details about some new dwarven skills, namely Preparation and Offensive/Defensive Formation.
- Preparation (Defense)
English official desc:
"All the creatures, while discharging the Defend command, will retaliate any enemy, which assaults them, first, even if the enemy has "No retaliation" ability. Moreover, if the defending creature has "Unlimited Retaliation" ability, it will attack the enemy twice: Before and after its assault."
Explanation:
In the standard case (without "Unlimited Retaliation"), there is only one retaliation as usual. It occurs before the first attack instead of after.
If the defender has "Unlimited Retaliation", then the usual retaliation after the attack still occurs, but the first attack (and only the first) is also retaliated before the assault.
Note that with their Take Roots ability, the Ancient Treants have unlimited retaliation when defending.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Offensive Formation (Attack), Defensive Formation (Defense)
English official desc:
"Attack/Defense of Dwarven creatures in hero's army increased when close to each other on the battlefield."
Explanation:
The bonus depends on the relative Power of the stack and its adjacent allied dwarven stacks:
Bonus = floor[ 10 * log(POWER_ADJACENT/POWER_STACK) ]
where
* floor() means rounded down
* log() is the base 10 logarithm
* POWER_STACK is the Power Rating of the stack
* POWER_ADJACENT is the total Power Rating of the adjacent dwarven allied troops
* the maximum bonus is 10
* the formula does not depend on the hero level
Here are the precomputed 10 (rounded) thresholds for POWER_ADJACENT/POWER_STACK:
+1 bonus if POWER_ADJACENT/POWER_STACK >= 1.259
+2 bonus: 1.585
+3 bonus: 1.995
+4 bonus: 2.512
+5 bonus: 3.162
+6 bonus: 3.981
+7 bonus: 5.012
+8 bonus: 6.310
+9 bonus: 7.943
+10 bonus: 10
Examples:
* 1 stack of 10 Shieldguards, next to a stack of 20:
the stack of 10 gets a +3 bonus (no bonus for the stack of 20).
Because for the stack of 10, POWER_ADJACENT/POWER_STACK = 2
* 3 stacks of 10 Shieldguards in a triangle formation:
each has 20 Shieldguards adjacent to it, and thus gets +3 bonus.
* 200 Shieldguards next to 20 Magma Dragons:
200 Shieldguards: Power = 200*115 = 23000
20 Magma Dragons: Power = 20*6100 = 122000
No bonus for Dragons, +7 bonus for Shieldguards (122000/23000=5.3)

You mean it's not out for a long time now? Heck tribes of the east are around the corner. You could try ordering the game and have it delivered to you. I've used amazon.com on occasion.
