Thanks Xhane. And yeah the Nightmares for Inferno are quite recognizeable. Just wait till Nighterror sees that she'll tilt lol.

Awwwww yeah. I mean gameplaywise it makes next to no difference but it ought to be a lot of fun^^. Yes...yeeeees *pets a cat and turns dramatically in a low black chair* soon Azagal the Adonic will lay claim to the lands of Ashan...

Oh, don't tell me you believe that nonsense.
Anyway. I like the video Q&A, but try to give it subtitles at the initial release next time. His accent is, shall we say "Heavy".

Well it's what? 300 years before H5? They probably took some time to realize their potential. I mean I'm not too happy to see my favourite Inferno unit next to the Devils be a mount now but then again considering the fact that they're not really a horse but a gift of a Demonlord to his or hers most prodigious Champion (I mean any hero we play is bound to be quite the powerful individual) isn't all that bad. So it's more of a sign of status and ultimate intimidation than simply a mode of transportation. I can totally live with that.

According to some sources (the pdfs I recall?) Hell Knights are humans because <I bet there was a logical reason>

Yeah you're right radar I just checked the pdf. Demonworshippers who were blessd by Chaos Magic = Hell Knights. Interesting thing is it says that it's obviously not only limited to Humans, we could have Dwarfs or Elves as Hell Knights too. Orcs would be pretty cool but I doubt it'll happen. Then again why not?

Possibility to create your own hero in multiplayer is just wow, thanks for very nice option ...

@Xhane
About that... it says you can chose your gender and model. Does that mean that within a faction there are even more than just 1 model for each class/gender? Because saying that you can chose class and gender and model would imply that you're not limited to only one thing once you pick a female Hero or chose between Magic and Might. Is there really that much diversity?
To make it more clear: We have a screenshot of the female Haven Knight. The way I understand the statement it means there is atleast one more model for the female Knight if you chose to go Might as a female Hero...am I understanding this correctly?
Or does your choice of Gender and Class define the model you'll end up with like
Quote: Their model is different depending on their gender and their class
would imply. Not that that's a bad thing! That's great! even if there's only one model! But since you said you can chose a model I was curious...

green spider glue In the ingame pictures their horses had saddle and stirrups, so maybe they asked themselves the same question and added them.

I think making own Hero will be enough for people who yell "more rpg!" Only horses as mounts (and Nightmares) are boring... No elephants, no lizards, no mammoths :< And he didn't mention Svetlana as main Campaign Hero, wierd...

Inferno mount is without doubt my favourite
Maybe this video hadn't real news, but at least they confirmed some stuff that was just rumors until now
Maybe nagas will have a mount that is a horse made of water
Quote: And he didn't mention Svetlana as main Campaign Hero, wierd...
Possibly she will be an hero that looks like the ones you buy in the tavern.

Lets comment...
The horses are nice, not the best option but still nice. I'm very disappointed from the Haven heroes. It took me a minute do realize the differences. But it's still something. About the information in the News topic - I'm happy that old heroes will return but how will they fit in Ashan?

o lord, thanks, finally one of my questions is answered. So the hero specialization is return and work like the ones in Heroes 3 & 5. That is good enough for me.

Well this isn't supposed to be a pompous corporate video like the others with the producers; it's a Q&A by a Might and Magic fan, for Might and Magic fans, which happens to be official. You can demand better, press-release style presentation akin to the vids with the producers, but with all the pointless bureaucracy, validation and perfectionism involved, it would've taken several weeks longer to release - is that a reasonable tradeoff?
As for his accent, there are no native English speakers on the H6 development team, and frankly if Julien hadn't taken it upon himself to prepare this... well, again, a far longer wait for information, which leads to: complaints for more info. And when we advise them to hurry up, just release the info and stop worrying about the presentation, the response is: complaints for better presentation.
The challenge is that either you'd prefer some actual, solid information/footage delivered in a series of quick videos, or inversely we could allow the marketers several extra weeks to prepare a shinier set of videos which will be released when the info is out-of-date.
So do you want the content or do you want the frills?

Easy, they'll be different guys with the same name. I'd love if they were actually the OG Antagarich heroes, but it's highly unlikely. Still, revealing that Ashan is another world in the old M&M cosmology would make me very happy; it got poured down the tubes for no reason (Heroes IV's needless destruction of the old world notwithstanding.)
This video has me very excited, as they're fixing a lot of the little details that HV got wrong. Heroes that actually look like their gender, might/magic heroes again, references to the old universe; I can't wait!

Don't you feel that this kind of video that we got now, would be hurting the image of the game?
If someone other than their dedicated fans, watches this, what would they think of it?
About us, we've been tested before in time, and we know how to wait.
So it's better that Ubi takes their time to make a video about whatever the subject that when watched, will make people wanna buy the game.

Well, "Lead Level Designer on Heroes VI" doesn't sound like a fan job actually! It'd be more clear if Julien said that he was a fan.

@Kodial79: Actually there are more we got from the video. Well most are things we speculating, like Heroes Specialization confirmed now. The differences of Unlock hero, tavern hero, campaign hero and even the customized Hero and all are great info IMHO. References to old universe Heroes.
PS: I am no English speaker but I can hear most of them without problem
