Great! A few things that come to mind.
Loss of treachery is mentioned only on goblins so I believe the ugraded ones don't have it. Should be the changing sides thingy 
Purge reminds of a cleansing ability.
A whooping +6 attack for centaurs on lvl 1 bloodrage? Nice 
The warminger is probably the shield dude that can protect others so his unlimited retaliation should help a lot. I imagine it as a unit that has retaliation strike.
With the witch's spellpower quadrupled I wonder what else than haste or slow she has. Anyway that early +2 initiative for a caster is good
Cyclopses with fear I'm gonna like that and as for the executioner's double damage..

Another thing or two to note about the video: With the appearances of Alaric, Zehir, Hangvul and others, we now have confirmation that it will NOT take place 500 years before Dark Messiah. Also it is confirmed that Arantir will appear, as he shows his face there too. Strangely, no obvious sign of Raelag, even though he said he'd be going after the Orcs at the end of HoF.
Dunno about any of you guys but I think I saw Biara getting pecked by a Wyvern midway through.

I actully thought all goblins had Treachery, but well - Its not a good thing so no loss
Those centaur will become one of the most deadly ranged creatures ever!! And maybe the strongest version in the entire HoMM history!
Love that many gets Ini. buff or Speed buff That will make them deadly!!
And fear for all 3 cyclops That is awesome.. Now lets hope with no blood rage for Pao kais or Wyvern that they still kick ass!
And i can live with almost every name. though untamed Cyclop, sounds.. Naah it'll be okay i guess - but still nival is filled with creativity on these guys . 
EDIT: And also as i read the dev. diary I loved that spells actully got some harsh effects on orcs - so resistance is needed else will those spells tear you apart.. I love it, they have great resistance to magic but still they are weak to it...

Oh, and we now know names of everything.
I kindof (and this is my ONLY complaint about Tribes) is that Shamans don't have new spells (even if it was just "Slow" renamed "Hinder" and "Haste" renamed to "Wind Foot" or something. That the Orcs use traditonal magic disapoints me. Still, that is only one thing in a HUGE mix of new stuff. Also, the trailer boasts "Over 180" creatures, where we have been thinking 170. Is there still a chance for new neutrals ura hei? New Neutrals Hei Hei! New Neutrals ura hei!

Looks more like a Succubus to me...? ~2:00
`Confirmation` of the names, and I am a little annoyed that the word Orc pops up three times there. Plus Cyclops is spelt wrong  But I can't help but get excited at the cutscenes. The Academy walkthrough, the massing Orcs, hopefully to make the story more involving.

I wonder, though. In the vid and the screenshots so far, you can see orcs, goblins, etc, being enslaved by the humans. But that's all over in the Isabel/raelag campaigns, right? So maybe we get a sort of 'orc' walkthrough campaign? (You know, learning how to play with them)
And after that, we continue with the storyline?

That would be my guess if the prologue is to be in.

Oh yes, there is most likely a prologue set in the past. I was referring to the main campaigns.

After downloading and watching the Trailer in a decent resolution, I've noticed that when Biara reveals she is posing for Isabel the Renegades turn against her instantly.
Also I noticed Devils running out of the Pentagram(which is acutaly more of a Hexagram) that Biara seemed to have created.

At what time is that bit with Biara?

All these names are awesome, much better than the originals. Especially Earth Daughter and Sky Daughter, although I wish it was like Earth Sister and Sky Daughter, for variety.
Also, Slayer!!!!

If you mean the Wyvern pecking, ehhh... 1:55 I think. On closer inspection it seems to be a Succubus Mistress, not Biara. My bad.
