Fans asked for more realistic design. So, there it is. Every hero has an helmet. None is special
But Campaign heroes will have faces, we saw Duke Slava face in the video were we saw for the first time Mother Namtaru. But we only see it during adventuremap. In combats he has the helmet.
Why are the chinese site news better than the european/english ones?

Probably in the colector's edition and it's exclusive models.

That would make sense if we were talking about promotions for the game or some special envents in China.
But we are talking about news.

You're totaly right. China is a big market and UBI will try it. In Europe there are hard core fans who are an assured income (profit), but if they break through in China it will be much more profit. And I hope so because I want further games from the series.

Brobably there will some events. In Europe (Hungary) there was demostrations a whole week. Also the news are good advertisement.

'Tis true. I am indeed doubtfull if Marzhin is allowed to give us any substantial information.
Cause the previous interview was full of non-answers. Like: "We're working on it", "I wasn't part of that development" and blatant "I cannot tell you"
And I'd rather see myself as a sceptic, rather than a pessimist.

Hi!
Recently I have been summarizing all the information we got about H6 and I came to the idea, that I am about 75-80% satisfied (well, I am aware, that nobody can satisfy all the people...). I am not sure, whether you are interested in my thoughts (I know, everyone has his own and believes, they are the best ), but since Finsternis (or was it Dunkelheit?) posted his opinions, I would like to do it as well. I will skip the details of rare-material reduction (ambivalent), elemental-schools magic (disappointed), area of control (not sure yet) and blood-tears system (looking forward to), and concentrate only on the factions.
Sanctuary - 4/5
Line-up 4/5
Well, were it not Snow maiden and Spring spirit, I would give full score. (Almost) all of the creatures are interesting, unique and have an ability that makes me pretty curious. I just believe, that a flying ray/electric jellyfish would make it better
Town 5/5
I have not seen much (when are the town screens expected to be announced?), but quite enough to say, that the naga architecture is just amazing! It's so tranquil and mystical, that I just wonder, how the Sylvan will look like, not to be too similar...
Heroes ??/5
I have not seen the official heroes. If the generic ones will have models similar to Akasha and Yume (or other nagas), it will be 5/5. However, if even naga get human heroes, I will give 0/5... I just hope, it won't happen.
Racial ability ??/5
Well, I am not really sure, how it will work. It sounds quite interesting, but I am afraid, that it will be either too much powerful, or it will happen only too rarely (like the new luck/morale system) - I don't like order and predictability :-/
Stronghold - 4/5
Line-up 5/5
Totally amazing. Although I miss the female shaman and pao-kai from H5, the harpy and panther warrior are negating this nostalgia. And swapping the centaurs... meh, both of them are great!
Town 3/5
Looks fine, but I liked the nomadic-steppe orcish architecture more.
Heroes 0/5
Human be no good orc hero... (if the editor is really so user-friendly, as Ubi-hole claims, the first thing I will do is substituting the generic human barbarians for the Kraal model).
Racial ability 5/5
I am not quite sure, how it works out, but I just loved the bloodlust in H5 and I believe, H6 won't be a disappointment in this
Inferno - 4/5
Line-up 3/5
There are creatures I love and creatures I hate. I started to accept maniac after the funny-animation video, but I still don't like excruciator and believe, that juggernaut could have been done more unique. Inferno is the faction, that makes me believe the most, that there should be 4 creature levels, not 3... succubus is just too much powerful to be core, but still not enough, to be elite...
Town 5/5
Looking amazing I like the organic-metal structures and the eyes... although, I misused it later in this post...
Heroes 3/5
Corrupted humans/elves/dwarves? Well, not that bad, but demons would be much more evil
Racial ability 4/5
It worked in H5 and if the game will be well-balanced, I believe, it will work in H6 as well.
Haven - 3/5
Line-up 3/5
As in Inferno, also in Haven there are units I love, and units I hate. Glories belong to the later - 4 elements & elementals are just enough, adding two more makes the game too much element-centred. There are so many other ways of magic - why to put everything into one system? Making a separate type of magic for every faction would make the gameplay for each of them much more unique. Just look at the sister! Does she look, as if she needed some shining elementals, or light dragons?!
Town 3/5
I know, that making a human faction can be the most difficult task. The town is nice, but too much elven to me.
Heroes 5/5
Finally, humans on the right place! No more comments - they are fine
Racial ability ??/5
The Haven ability makes me really wonder - I guess, the same as for naga goes for the humans.
Necropolis - 5/5 (omitting the town)
Line-up 5/5
Love I miss the spectral dragons a bit, but I just adore all of the undead creatures
Town 1/5
I don't really know :-/ I didn't like the necro town in H3, nor in H5 and I don't like it in H6 either. With the orcs having meso-american architecture, another pyramid-structure is just too abundant. The symbol of two pyramids, touching their summits is interesting, but I don't like the town...
Heroes 4/5
I love the necromancer! (Although I must say, that the basic class has the best look to me). The death knight is a bit strange, but OK.
Racial ability 5/5
What could go wrong here?!
And as a bonus I present my version of a good-looking Necropolis town:
Without the omni-present eyes, it looks totally gorgeous (to me). So, what do you think?

I don't think you should be afraid of a racial triggering rarely, the bar fills up pretty fast in all factions. Actual effectiveness we'll have to wait and see. Bloodrage is not quite the same but it does have that WAAAGH! feel about it Gating is different in a way, same for necromancy considering that it activates during combat. And yeah too many humans around.

Humans - guardian angel - protect a troop from all attacks
Necro - Necromancy - raise dead
Orcs - Bloodrage - how is it different?
Inferno - gating - is it different? will one gate like 40% of troops?
Sanctuary - Honour - challenging enemy into battle?

Sceptics take advantage of the chances given to them but don't exspect much from it. Pessimists sit there brooding and telling people how futile their puny efforts are because it won't be worth it anyways.
Go figure...

My understanding of Sanctuary's racial ability breaks down to two things:
1. There is much emphasis on protecting the Champion unit, so I think that as long as the Kirin stays alive in battle, the rest of the stacks receive morale/stat boosts. Early in the game, when you don't yet have access to Kirins, maybe this applies to the highest ranked stack as well (eg. Kenshi).
2. Also, they have talked up one-on-one battles, and honour. Perhaps a stack receives bonuses when they are the only ones attacking an opposing stack (no surrounding of one enemy, a fair fight).

The "Champion" unit in reference to Sanctuary's racial ability is just "a main attacking stack", and not necessarily the highest level unit in your army. I believe you can choose the champion either one during the combat or once per round.
This stack will aim at attacking the strongest stack of the enemy in a "duel", I'm not sure how this exactly works, sounds a lot like Kenshi's ability, but we'll see.

Fail. It was said Gating summons volcanoes on the battlefield and they'll become obstacles. Elvin also said it's similar to Clash of Heroes so one can assume that they'll cause some damage when they appear.
Quote: Sanctuary - Honour - challenging enemy into battle?
Sanctuary units have increased defense when unleashing the racial, but to fill the gauge, it seems you have to fight honourably (1 vs 1). And what Brukernavn said, Champion does NOT mean Kirin.
