Quote: I think that almost all leaks are controled. The christmas tree theatro with the insider, the Naga (Sanctuary) faction creatures. Come on! If these leaks are not controled then they have serious confidential issues
Just like everything else stored on a computer with Internet access, all of these pictures could be leaked like many other pictures, videos, even entire game files/movies and so on before them. You are overestimating their ability to keep their secrets. Nothing's absolutely safe in the net and in our case that's just fine because otherwise we wouldn't know even what we already know.

I think that in todays age, with all the computer technology and internet we have access to, it is very difficult for even top companies with top notch security to keep all the info without any leaks. I mean 15 years ago, no-one knew what Heroes 1 was going to be like, there was no internet, no access to information, yet here we are talking, discussing and realising Heroes 6.
I reckon these leaks are real and the people that leaked them get found out and fired!
Do you really think that their system (dev computers) is connected to the net. I don't think so. It's too risky - hackers and so on. They just hold up environment heat with ... "silence". For example yesterday, from where came this skill/spell picture.
Quote: Only, I still think this one was not a leak, it was intentional and with them playing with us, looking for our reactions.
Absolutely! And as I said yesterday I hate this game
You misunderstood me. It's not that Black Hole is connected to the net where leaks can happen, it's individuals that work for Black Hole that have close friends who have close friends with internet....that's how these leaks happen....I don't think Black Hole/Ubisoft want leaks to happen, they want to plan releases.

This is the second time this week that the "news" aren't actually news. We usually only get those "fake" news once per week. I hope friday we get something to compensate this
The cover is OK. But wasn't the whole "Michael's secret plans" a plot twist? So, the cover gives us spoilers... that's a bit weird, no?

The cover doesn't reveal anything. Michael could be a prominent figure throughout the entire campaign, but you get to find out he's the mastermind behind the whole thing only in the end. Well, if that's the case...

I would. I always thought Angels are genocidal freaks, vile while they're disguising themselves in dignity and villainous, doublefaced hypocrites.

Probably, he's being used by someone even more sinister. They said he was dead and he was resurrected. So who resurrected him and what for?

Quote: Nonsense everyone knows that the least suspicious character is the villain
A close but not quite there because it's the Butler
The easy twist is that Michel is the Bad guy, medium twist is that a Demon Lord's manipulation to restart the war between the Faceless and Angel, so that the are distracted and use theme selfs out and be spent and wary of battle by the time of the Eclipse and there descent on the world of Ashan, and a really big twist Sylath who schemes the destruction of the human race for betraying him, while on the background goes a fight among Angel and Faceless, demons and well the rest of the factions, and at the moment of the humans near defeat he would show up and demand to reinstate him as the only worshiped dragon as a tribute to saving them. (the last one is just my sugar depraved brain, going on X-Files like theory, in overdrive)
And somehow they menage to come up with something els (except the butler) for a bad guy it'll be a thrill.

Michael is an almost obvious villain, this has been hinted pretty clearly. Even if he's "good", he has to deal with the "all too human" duchies which may prove to be too much for a perfectionist. These burning wing on the poster make it possible to be evil from the very start. Or to be possessed later. In any case, I guess we'll have to kill the guy.

You forget that we play every faction in the campaign. So he's bound to be the villain against one faction at least. And anyway, they did say that he's a boss, which means we get to fight him and kill him.

Castle siege was the worst in terms of viewability in H5 - walls were view obstructive, units so small, it was horrible zooming and rotating all the time. I cannot believe, looking at the newest screenshots, that we're heading to something similiar?! PLEASE - realism is not the most important. It is gameplay, in this case, ease of play. I DO NOT WANT transparent walls simply because they need to be as such in order to see units around them. Do it as in H3.

I think there's a lot more space in this one than in H5. It's not so tight. The walls are tall, and that could hide out some units behind but that's if you look into it from up front, like in this screenshot.
This is how 3D is. Since you're able to rotate and zoom in as you please, you're going to get some blind spots too.
But the way I see it, this screenshot is focusing on the castle in the background and not on the siege itself. I'm sure that if the camera would focus on the siege, everything would be perfectly clear without the need for transparent walls too.

Since we are guessing plot twists, I would say that the person behind the ressurrection of Michael and who causes/tries to cause the most damage to the world of Ashan, aka the big villain behind everything, is Sveltana. She looks evil, and she is the best character to be a villain pretending that is a good person, since she was the one who ressurrected Anastasya, who probably is innocent of the murderer of her father.
Quote: It was said that camera will be fixed. And that there will be no need for zoom and rotate. I would like the same everywhere. Elvin, anything on this?
I think that only applies to adventure map.

Been there, seen that ! They already had an ending like this with Aidan in Clash of Heroes, would be extremely cheap to recycle that story

Hey, if a necromancer rises some skeleton/ghoul/anything, he has mental control over it. So, the one who resurrected Michael can also have mental control over his body (there is nowhere stated, that Michael was resurrected with his soul/mind/personality).
What if Michael's body is just a puppet in the hands of the one, who wants to punish the humans? The one, who wants to show them how blind in their zealotry they are? Anton has killed Anastasya for assassinating their father, but something tells me, that she was innocent. And Kiril might have known this. Therefore, disappointed by the "holy" humans, he seeks justice in the chaos of hell (as Joker said: "Chaos is bare.")... and then comes Sandor, who believes, that he would be much better ruler, that this (un)justice-driven Anton, along with the orcs, who also thirst for revange...
And what about the naga and the 5th sibling? Well, they have this lotus as their symbol... so they are looking for enlightenment (since the skill-system was remade) and peace. But no other race wants peace, so they take some katanas, pearl-sticks and deep-water dwellers and are trying to ensure peace via violence...
Anyway, does it even make sense?

I know, that I am not Elvin, but... You can rotate and zoom in/out the camera to appreciate the models, environment, etc., but once you begin an action (e.g. move the hero), the camera will return into the standard position.

It does, although I don't know if Kiril seeks justice in the chaos of hell... I think he is connected with inferno because someone forced him to.
About the 5th sibling, I would say her role is to study ancient rituals so she can learn something about what happened to her father.
I think the story will be like this:
Anastasya is the accused;
Anton is the executioner;
Kiril is the witness;
Sandor is the profiteer who wants the heritage of his father;
The 5th sibling is the inspector who will investigate the case;
Sveltana is the cold aunt that plans to usurp her brother's patrimony;
Michael is Sveltana's butler.

Hope so, mind you, American Box Art is usualy quite horrible whilst the Asian Box Art typically more informative and evocative, European box art often tends to be inbetween the two.
American Box Art is often a bunch of character faces sorta hovering on the front with some lens flare and maybe a vague hint of the game's actual nature.
That or a bunch of characters on the front looking like they're doing some sort of mid-combat vitcory pose at convenient angles.
Asian Box Art USUALLY tends to be more to the point about a key element of the game.
Europeans swing back and forth but often just have the same box art as americans.
