Sister (much better than Priests, zealots)
Care to explain why you think the sister is an improvement?
Care to explain why it isn't?
Personally I don't care much, I liked the Priests a lot, particulairly the whole robe/mace thing they had going on in HoMMV, I thought was a nice touch though the HoMMIII Zealot also had some serious flair.
But I don't see how the Sister is inferior, and I don't recall there ever being a consensus on that.
I will join in by saying that I do not like the Coral Maiden and would prefer a propper Medusa as an elite choice instead of the Spring spirit and maybe then drop... hmmmm...a non-human Spring Spirit into the open core slot, shaped like... hmm...
A white mask with droplets of water orbiting around it.
Or maybe a crocodile, sticking with the reptile theme and such.

Personally to me, one of the most appealing things about the Medusa in HoMMIII was the lethality she emitted whilst (or despite) being a woman.
Her assets were not just supernatural powers, but that powerful serpent tail which looked thick and strong enough to squeeze a man to moosh.
Sure she fired a bow (and was pretty damn good at it too) but in melee with her stone-gaze she was possibly even more threatening.
The Coral Priestess does not seem to have any benefit from being a serpentine woman, she is a caster unit so her being a creature with supernatural abilities is made obsolete by her being a mage and thus having supernatural abilities anyway in the form of magic and her physical assets are at odds with her choice of attack.
The Medusa at least had the exuse of her stone-gaze for not grappling a target, but the Coral Priestess with a similar serpentine body whacking something with her thin staff just is a bit silly when she could be using her body.
Not to mention that they let such a great name, great history and great concept drop for a creature which wouldn't have been different if it wasn't a snake/woman.
But... I've said all this before.... so yeah I'm with Yealicc on this one.

The 3D artist did a hack job on the model.
The finished result doesn't look like it's radiating 'warmth' and 'energy'.
The final result looks like it's oozing apathy and death.
The final result has the visage of an anorexic, meek and frail-looking mess of a woman instead of a strong, passionate clergywoman.
The hair is straight, as opposed to wavy, the skull cap is silly looking and the ability descriptions are laughable.
I'm not gonna lie, I harbor a great personal dislike for the art direction AND execution of this game.
Dragon religion is stupid.
This whole setting is stupid.
I want to see them pull an Armageddon's Blade.
I want to see Ashan burn.
Oh and happy easter.

All I'm hearing is an opinion, nothing factual. (which I agree with in some areas, the religion is too tight, the setting lacks a truly unique element and the 3D model of the Sister is underwhelming in some respects, especially when compared to the concept art.)
Anyway I asked for an explenation and I got it, happy easter.
I hope they'll do something more with the old HoMM setting at some point in the future, maybe revisit it at some point.
Though we can always count on map-makers to reference back to it, just played through a good one on HoMMV that centred around the old Ironfist lineage.

As I see the old scream what I hate and dislike.
Now I understand why Nightteror is so important. If she won!t nag than everybody will..
Come on people things change. and so do settings and stories. I never undestod what was so unique on Gule and he is my least favorite hero in HoMaM III. I never got overwhelmed by the new H-VI system. and gues what? I can!t recall that any heroes game (exept for H II) had an original story (Please tak in count that I didnt play H VI camopaingnes).

Originality is irrelevant as long as a storyline is good. Besides a campaign is not just the story but also good gameplay to match it. H3 and H4 performed pretty good in both.

Yaelicc have a point, the Medusa was awesome. (as everything was in H3 Dungeon.)
But if the Coral priestess should even have a chance of being equal then they need to have no melee penalty. However I really doubt that. :/
Hmm which raises the question, do any ranged unit in H6 have no melee penalty?

I will punch the devs fast enough to make a brand new black hole if centaur doesn't have no melee penalty.
And I have to say I agree with Elvin on this one, originality does not equal good. I still have good hopes for the campaigns, even though only humans lead factions...
Edit: Yes well if you get within melee range of those tentacles, suit yourself.

obviously they won't have it. their strategy is to avoid melee combat.
maybe the breeder?

From appearance alone, skeleton should have no melee penalty just like that dwarven spearwielder or whatever in H5.

It doesn't say in their abilities but do they still retain the ability to have a chance of paralysing an opponent in melee or range attack (or both)? Tis the only thing that remotely concerns me about the priestesses. Don't know about you guys but i enjoyed having my entire army turned to stone.

On the subject of the Sister, I like her, to me she represents the role of a pure healing unit better than a bald old Priest with a mace. If she only looked like in her Concept Art, the in-game model SUCKS 
I'll make a quick list of in-game models that don't look good compared to Concept Art:
1)Griffin - Looks OK but it's an anorexic version of the Concept Art, and it's head is too big in proportion to body size. They should buff him up and possibly make the wings longer.
2)Ghost - BEAUTIFUL Concept Art! But the in-game model's hair lost all of it's charm, it looks greasy and too short, besides it should be flowing upwards. Also, they should graphically enhance the robe so it actually looks ghostly and transparent, not like stretched chewing gum.
3)Lamassu - The in-game model's face is a lot uglier, and it's body has a different colour-scheme.
4)Pit Lord - One of my favourite creatures, I love the Concept Art, and the in-game model is great too, only has the same issue as the Griffin, too skinny.
The rest are simply great and many of them actually better than in Concept Art IMO  And the Breeder just looks tasty  And reminds me of the awesome Venom Spawn. Kirin's awesome too.

It's not all that bad.
