@ Jabanoss: Hmm, its a bit strange indeed if u think about it lorevise. But let's see it an other way.

We know that centaurs were created by wizards of the Silver cities. Also those mages did use orcs as slaves as well. If u think about it, if the mages has a little bit of humanity in themselves they use orcs to create centaurs rather then humans. Maybe this can be a vital theory

Yes of course, back in homm5 the centaurs were half orc, not beasthumans.


"Centaurs were created by the Wizards of the Seven Cities in the year 508 YSD along with the Harpies, to serve as replacements for the orc slaves they had lost in the rebellion. In Tribes of the East, the centaurs are part of the stronghold. They are the archers in the horde of the orcs. Centaurs lives in wide steppes and are a hybrid of the Nightmares from Sheogh and criminal humans, so they have the bloodrage, too."

Guess again

Well to my knowledge even humans have different skin color, there are several different groups of orcs in Ashan aswell. The ones we are getting now have not been seen before, and there is nothing to say that all centaurs must look the same just to keep up with the lore.

My opinion on the new water type faction:

First, awesome theme, I hadn't thought of a water based faction that wouldn't somehow rely on water.

1)  Street sharks look awesome.  For those who don't watch cartoons -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Sharks

2)  Kappa thing just confuses me.  I looked the creature up and it is defiantly appropriate to this theme.  However, looking at the pic, I was just like wtf is that!?  A frog looking thing with a floating persons head.  I think they should scratch that Idea and go with somthing like guys

3)  The "coral maidens"  look cool but there rly is no need for them.  This faction has enough hummanoids.  I understand that they sleep with the nagas, but meduas shuld be left for the swamp-like H3 fortress faction.

4)  Spring spirits just look O.K and there is rly no need for them.  Again, too many humanoids and these just look bland compared to the others.  It seems that they went the easy way with these guys.  Just take the theme of the faction and have a spirit of that be a creature. ie.  water spirit, swamp spirit, divine spirit, evil spirit.. ect.

5) The snow and ice maidans look pretty cool.  Like the spirits grown up.    Also, for some reason they reminded me of both madame woe, from power rangers, and the painted lady, from avatar the last Airbender.  My only complaint with these guys is that the snow maiden looks cooler then the ice one.

6)  Tide/wave warriors.  Definitely look cool.  Names are ok, ill probably just call them nagas.

7) Kirin look like an awsome dragon.  Im just worried about how it will look on the battlefild.  I hope it's mechanics aren't similar to the fire lizard of h5 fortress.


Overall, Very nice.  I am just SOO glad they did not pull another H5 fortress.... hmm a faction with 6 nagas and an earth elemental as a champion.  (umm well since they're wet all the time.,, they probably worship somthin that gives them earth,,, doy) *sarcastic reference to H5's fire lizard."

I'd like if necropolis hero would have a horse like this and not a retard bones-of-a-horse. I can't see exactly from the videos but i hope it's something similar.

@Nightterror

They simply change the art, that's it. It's not unusual when developing games. It got little to do with lore whatsoever. It's not just Centaur, other creatures also changed. The most extreme one being the Imp.

The screaming horse of death at the frount seems to be crossing his/her legs. That deathorse is not screaming, it is just trying not to be cold.

Hopefully not only the artwork will be released. It's almost certain that their normal announcement schedule - without insider rebellions, fan outrages and such - included the release of these pictures like they are being released now.

I hope so! I just want to see the 3D models of the remaining Inferno units, because we haven't seen any in-game screenshots with them. It's very strange because the released artwork suggests that the entire lineup was ready long ago...and still no sign of any in-game screenshots for Inferno...the light in the tunnel is the picture of the Inferno castle

Yes, The infernal castle..

What should I say to It...
Well It looks like a Hornet nest over a strong flashlight. Just can't help my self but it is the worst looking town so far. How should the in town screen look like? We know how the Necropolis looks, and it's nice, but the on-map look of the Inferno town is just a disappointment. Especially in compare to the Heroes V inferno castle.

Mmm, yeah...the Inferno castle looks like some crossover between the Fortress and Inferno castles from H5. The picture on the site is the basic version of the castle, so it may be look pretty when fully build. My point was that at least they've made the castle model, so may be they've made the creature models also

To me, the new Inferno castle only looks like H5 inferno one. It has not much new feature.
But anyway, we only have one small pic, so it's hard to conclude.

Itīs following the lore about the demons. In this time they are still under the leadership of the demon lords (the first children of urgash) and not the demon sovereign Mal-Beleth (as in heroes V). So itīs only natural that their arcitecture and unitstyle looks "grittier" and more "monstrous" then it did in heroes V. The unit descriptions also speaks of the different demon lords and the units seem to have ties to different ones (also matching up some with the seven deadly sins).

In this time they donīt have a constant presence on the face of Ashan, so their bases should look like they rose from the depths of hell

Just to be correct here, during HoMMV (Queen Isabel's War) the Demon Sovereign was Kha-Beleth. He usurped Mal-Beleth somewhere between HoMMVI and V.

Quote:
1. The official timeline names "Sylath" as the God of Air whereas Dark Messiah give us "Ylath". Which name is correct? Also a "Mal-Beleth" is mentioned as the Sovereign instead of Kha-Beleth in the official timeline. Is this a typo or are they different characters?

For the record, the names of these entities are officially "Ylath" and "Kha-Beleth." However, as Ashan is a world with many races and cultures, it would not be surprising if there were local variants of some of the names. Just as English speakers call the capital of Russia "Moscow," the French call it "Moscou," and an accurate phonetic spelling would be "Moskva," it would not be surprising if there were slight variations in some of Ashan's proper names from nation to nation.

I think the Inferno town looks great, and I can't wait to destroy it!
It is clearly the upgraded version pictured on the website, as it takes up the same amount of space as the Haven town, and the large version of the Necropolis town as seen here:





..so I'm guessing that the non-upgraded version will be without the pit beneath it, and the two small houses on the sides!

The official line on that is indeed that there's only Kha-Beleth and Mal-Beleth is just another name for him. Was only ever said that "Mal-Beleth" usurped the Overlords - in fact he's only ever mentioned in the timeline.

OK, so, I missed the whole uproar again nice going

What I wanted to say, is that I'm really hyped up now Went to the new website, and it was awesome, can't wait to see it updated, more news and such It was briliant of them to show us the 3D models I think (I still want more of them though)
All in all, every single peace of news we get points to an awesome game, in my opinion Thank GOD there's only a couple of months left to wait

Will they listen to the fans though? That's the question.

According to the poll Cepheus ran, the skill system won and on the official forums that poll had people wanting to know about the magic system the most, yet in their first update all we saw were a few units we already knew about.

What good is it to ask what we want and then just stick to their own schedule?
