Apparantly, last week had two tuesdays. 
No, both GL and I were very busy last week, and when I had time to look into things by friday, I decided to postpone Altar Day til next week.
Every wednesday is weekly altar day ... except last wednesday. Well, I had lots of things to do, and activity in the Altar has been dwindling a bit in the last couple of weeks - hopefully, people will be back before too long.
Last wednesday saw the return of one of the old-time Altar posters, and one that has always been able to chalange my ideas for what is the best for the game. This time around the topic was Strategic Elements in the battle and as always, ActionJack has some very refreshing ideas. I would recommend you to check out the thread if you have any ideas on how we could spice combat up a bit - or want to check out his suggestions.
Apart from that, we've had some talk about Ingame Editors for Heroes 6 - which game property do you want most to be able to change in game? Cast you vote, and share your thoughts.

There hasn't been a flurry of activity in the Altar in the last week, perhaps because Blizzardboy has stolen our best minds and taken them to the Unique Perk Contest in the Colliseum - so be sure to check that out, if you want to see what others have in mind for new perks, or if you have an idea of your own to share. In the same theme, Rubicus has started a thread for discussing Ability Creation and ideas for new unit abilities.
Asheera has put the concept of Mass and Area Spell on a test - do we like it? - I'm not sure, but it sure is a new concept, so share your oppinion! Also, Stankelbenet has put up a discussion of Racism in the game - i.e. should we be able to mix creatures freely, or is it good to have severe Morale penalties when mixing creatures of different race?
Another week has passed, and we have reached wednesday again, and my legs are sore from workout ... but that's another story. 
The last week has seen the revival of an old thread by Blizzardboy about Visions of Future Towns, which features some interesting discussion and also a very nice recent contribution from Jiriki9 - so hopefully, we'll see more activity in that thread in upcoming times.
Zozma, one of our newest forum members, has put his suggestion for a faction called The Spire up, and hopefully we'll see him develop this promising concept further. Jiriki's Creative Faction Contest is also beginning to start, so hopefully, that will in time fill the gap that was left when the Finding Harmony Town Competition died. Daystar, where are you!? 
And last but not least, we've seen a lot of intersting Unit Ability suggestions discussed, so have a look and share your bit of creativity with the forum. 
Another week has passed, and Christmas is closing in on us. Since next wednesday is the 24th, which is where we celebrate christmas in Denmark, I can't promise that we'll have an Altar day there - now you're warned.
We've had several discussions picking up speed during the last week. The Ability Creation thread is still growing, and lately, Crepus has brought out some of his old abilities which are quite intriguing.
One of our regularly occuring discussions is whether the Conflux was good or bad - voice your oppinion in the Conflux return thread, which as always spawns a heated debate whether the Conflux was the best or worst thing ever to happen - and if it should return, what is it even that we want it to be like?
In a similar vain, Vlaad has brought our conception of the Necropolis factions to the debate, and also has pointed our attention to something that might actually seem to be the first solid indication that Heroes 6 is on the drawing table - and it's not even new info, but that just goes to show that sometimes, we get so blinded by the light that we don't even see what's in front of us. I think that alone is worth a  . Also, honorary mention goes to Geny who is, as always, helpful with the translation. This discussion has even spawned a challenge between myself and Baklave, who's is fighting a desperate fight to convince me that his Vampire faction The Estate would be worthy of an addition to the game. Maybe your contribution can help him succeed in this hopeless task? 
Finally, Mamgaeater is working on a Heroes 6 concept and asks for your help with naming of units - so drop by his thread and see if you have a fresh creative vein to tap.
Altar Sunday
Courtesy of the seasons, this week we'll have an Altar sunday.
In the last couple of weeks, two topics related to the Hero mechanisms in Combat and on Adventure map have seen the light of day - Jiriki9's Heroes And Commanders and Hell_Wizard's Commanders. Both of them basically evolve around the idea of separating the Hero (adventure aspect) from a Commander (combat aspect), where the commander will participate actively in battle (Heroes 4 style), the main difference in the suggestions lying in which skills the two aspects of the current Hero can learn. Both suggestions are very interesting and will hopefully lead to further discussion of the Hero mechanisms - so check in and join.
Further H6 ideas abound in Mytical's somewhat chaotic and aptly named Visions Of Heroes 6 - by a chaotic mind and Cepheus has put your creativity at a test in his new Racial Ability contest which will hopefully bring lots of inspiring entries for us all for our future faction developments. And talking about Faction developments, the Creative Faction contest seems to be finishing its first round - and of course, don't forget to check in on Baklavas puny Estate attempt to win me over to his dark side, or almost dark, at least.

Oay. I'm not a mod (nor do incline to become one permanently), but I like HC, am online most days, and usually here in the altair. I seen the activity here vanishing in the last weeks (or perhaps the last few month, indeed, I can't remember too much bigger activities here since ICTC4 -.-
Nevertheless I decided jsut to revive this weekly altair day, at least for this week (the next two I won'T be there so I cannot do^^). I don't know if anyone still cares for this, but I think it can'T do any harm.
Alcibiades, don'T go mad with me because of this, please.
I thought, a moment, of doing all the weeks since the last weekly altair day, but well...it seemed a bit much, so I'll do th elast 3 weeks.
week 1 - 24. June to 1. July
A poor week, except for the "Heroes of Might and Magic 6" Thread, where you found some good proposals and signs of discussion, there were only single posts in some threads...
week 2 - 1.July to 8. July
Interest in the "Heroes of Might and Magic 6"-thread faded again. Eriks opened his "my heroes 6" thread, showed off another "bad bad homm5, lets go back to H3" and got the usual responses. Welll and much more didn't happen.
week 3 - 8. July to 15. July
The "A little bit of H4 spice in creature recruitment"thread was revived and a bit discussed and bixie and me got a bit further with his "Low fantasy Heroes6", and yet, not much more happened.

No, not at all, quite on the contrary, do go ahead with this if you feel like it.
