Wow! Very nice screenshot!

First time to see Inferno's native terrain and too many new creatures in. I guess Spring Spirit is confirmed to be in now! I'm super glad for that!

I can't make heads or tails about the other new creatures. Probably the big one is an Earth Elemental, I can't tell about the other guarding the new map location.

Also the Inferno Fort is very well done. It looks menacing!

The inferno heroes present in the screenshot seem to be Hellknights.

I think it's safe to assume that there's a fire and earth elementals out and about here as well.

I doubt that the creature guarding the blue orb is the water elemental though.

Rather, either is the water elemental and the spring maiden is in fact NOT a naga unit, or that is the spring maiden and the water elemental looks different, probably less humanoid.

Another interesting observation:
The Inferno structure looks quite different from the inferno town as presented on the official site, perhaps this really is a "fort".

What do you people think the actual features of Forts are?
Supposedly they control nearby mines, but it looks a bit elaborate for just a "control point", maybe we can hire units there as well?

I'm really liking the "contorted flesh" look of the inferno fort and what I presume is a dwelling, though large number of eyes might be a bit much.

I think the many eyes of the Fort stand for vigilance because the Fort is supposed to guard the mines of an area and the way its designed its reminiscent of their chaotic nature.

By the way, that creature guarding the Statue with the couple of resources (crystals and gold), what is it?

The picture is nice but I would prefer a close up for the new unites.

@MrDragon It was said in the beginning that we can recrute unites in forts. I would even dare to say that we will be able to recruite heroe there It could basicly by a town that cannot generate its owen population.

Okay, Fort, Weaponsmith, a dwelling and the shipyard I recognise, but that building up the back I don't.

Well, actually we donīt know the motives behind the leak of the fifth race...maybe Ubi just wanted to get a feeling for how the fans would feel about a faction in that style. The artworks were unpolished compared to the official artworks of the other creatures and itīs not impossible that the spring spirit actually was a water elemental all along. This "theory" will surely be debunked soon though (and I personally donīt have a problem with the spring spirit).

Iīm more intrigued by the fact that they didnīt show the air elemental....itīs either very cool looking so they wanīt to save it for later...or maybe...something even better

"You have 2 Inferno Heroes in the middle of course. Also, Inferno creatures here and there, I'm sure you've noticed that. You also have other creatures garding treasures; some elementals (neutral creatures). I think you can guess where they are and which element they represent! "

...so it is a water elemental then?

I still think this is the water elemental! Also, it would be strange for Ubihole to show creatures of a faction that hasn't been announced yet!

Cheers for the clarification, yeah those Q&A's... feel like ages since I read through them so it must have slipped my mind.

Different note: if we can convert towns (at a cost and/or time) do you think Forts auto convert? or do we convert them manually? or do they never convert?
Cus that I can't find in an old Q&A.

What about dwellings? (hope not I'd like the have some reason to mix armies when possible.)

Lol, yesterday I wished for inferno screenshot and I got it! ( now I wish for necropolis one ).
My opinion on "Water element" is that...it's not water element. Well I can not say it's spirit, BUT It has River Spirit figure. Her hands are in the same position like on liked artwork, her dress has waves , shares color with upgraded spirit. Maybe it's not a unit from fifth faction, but it is a model from the artwork, and I think that is clear...

And about Inferno fort. It is chaotic! Love it! And I would like to see one on one battle between Earth elemental and Juggernaut!

Oh and another thing! See how inferno heroes have armor and are not chest naked-like in that catapult screenshot?

Maybe Spring Spirit is now the water elemental, but that is a bit weird since now we lost the old water elemental.
Or maybe we got some leaks of creatures, but that doesn't mean they were all from Sanctuary (I would love that, because it would mean neutrals can upgrade too).

I would like a closer picture of elementals, but I love this picture

Actually, Xhane said there are other creatures that are not elementals and are not inferno creatures, maybe they decided to make an hint about the 5th faction.

Also that earth elemental looks freaking huge and awesome! (even in small picture) it seems to have crystals growing from its earty body!



I sense a dragon blood crystal stuff explanation for the elementals, or at least the earth one.

And its just me or the fire elemental has more rocks/magma than true fire? Just an observation, as I like him.

Yeah, I think too that we see Water, Earth and Fire elementals there.

I think they saw all the negative feedback on the Spring spirit (being to similar to glory and ice maiden) and then they followed the suggestions many of us on the forums (and perhaps the insiders aswell) that the spring spirit would fit much better as the water elemental.

So Spring spirit became the Water elemental because of all the negative feedback on it.

The elemental do look really god.. I like teh size of the earth ona and even thou wee can't see the details of the Fire one, I have a really good fealing from him.

A Also think that this is the Water elemental. I don't want to speculate if it was originaly a 5th faction creature or the leek was misinforming but it is the water elemental.

+ upgrades for the neutrals is a great idea!!! I was hoping for this since HII.. A neutral that you can upgrade in the forts on the map.. this is a must that hasn't been done yeat and I (and hopfuly many of you) are waiting for.

Edit 1: Why do all the unites have the same circle undernieth them

Edit 2: That was Marzhin in the video? wow...

Don't jump into conclusions just yet. There was positive feedback, as well. And unlike the names, they did not ask if we wanted it to be changed or not. While a name is easy to discard, a unit is not.

Scrapping work so far into development is potentially a dangerous move for the game. More than just appearances are at stake. Look what happened to NWC/3DO when they did that.

Until we receive a confirmation that this is indeed a Water Elemental by name, I say what we're looking at, is the Spring Spirit. It's not only safe bet but the logical conclusion, as well.

That said, I wanna ask all of you who back then thought the Spring Spirit looked like Radiant Glory. Does they look alike now? We saw the model of the Glory on the site and the Spirit on the screenshot. I think they're very different and all your cries were unfounded.

And if you still think that they're the same, why are you being all happy now? Instead of the Spring Spirit looking like the Glory, now you got the Water Elemental looking like Glory, according to your sayings.

No, not logical at all. They have been very specific about keeping any clue regarding the 5th faction very close to themselves. I refuse to believe that they just drop a unit like that in something as unimportant as a random SOTD.

Quote:
No, there are flying rocks at the lower part of the creature, not legs, so definitely not lilim/succubus.

Sort of hard to tell with bad resolution and small size. Maybe you're right - I get the impression that unit is blurred because of smoke rising from the pit in front of it.

Stronghold's creatures were seen in screenshots before they were revealed too. If I remember right, these screenshots weren't leaked. I could be mistaken though.

Even hints can be given here and there all the time, an official reveal can still be made later. The Dragon Eel for examples was shown before the word that we got Bosses got out.

Yeah, but difference is that Dragon Eel was used as a show-off at GamesCom, and the Orcs were revealed as a faction at the time, plus screenshots were part of a larger publicity push.

Anyway, I might be mistaken, some of the priorities they've taken in their revelations have been truely puzzling bordering to lacking entirely of logical sense, so what do we know anyway - but I still say that until I get stronger evidence otherwise, I'm pretty sure this is *not* the river spirit.
