I've been expecting a creature like that since I saw it on the poster with Svetlana and the two armies around her (it's really well visible on the right). It's a cool creature and also new.
It looked much better on the poster. Maybe because it was more elemental and less humanoid. Also, it had no face, only eyes.

Hmmm, I really like this unit, and Castle/Haven as a whole this time. Might have to main them, and that'd be a first. Unless there's a jungle/swamp town, of course.

I have to say, overall I'm very impressed with the creature design so far; I haven't seen a single one I didn't like, and there were a decent amount of those in 5.

    The Radiant Glory and upgrade is a really good concept, well a naked chick (semi naked) …. I guess that some people hate her because she’s not completely naked, some finder her revealing enough , and other hate the sexual objectification of women.

   But seriously using this sort of art usually helps on the sale part and drawing new people (usually younger crowed over 14-18) and that never heard of the game or the series and wouldn’t be interested otherwise (this is just a huge supposition on the whole marketing mechanism), and hell aren't men just kid`s in a grown up body = good idea to have appealing girls in you game => big bucks

Well, this wasn't very suprising.

Anyway, I do not like the names. They are just weird.

And the upgrade just looks like a recolor of the normal creature. There is almost no difference at all!

Otherwise, it seems like a pretty cool creature though I would have prefered if Angels looked more like this.

Honestly, this unit seems like a re-affiliated sprite from h5. Conceptually, the unit seems awesome (theoretical ability possibilities, etc.) but the visuals dont look so... appealing. They remind of what the Japanese would call 'servicing' which while on one side does not seem so bad, bringing some beauty to the game, on the other side it just does not feel climatic.

The new Haven units are just great! The dress of Vestal looks as if it was inspired by some Slavic folk costumes And both Glories are just... glorious

By the way, since the Breeder cannot move and spawns imps, what if it worked similarly to the Summoned Hive from TotE? Every Breeder's turn a horde of flying imps attacks the enemy...

To me, this was not at all the unit Haven needed. They already made the Priest a Priestess, which is ok, but a Light Elemental (as they basically are) seems out of place to me.

I'm a Haven lover and will welcome any innovation with open arms.

The more fun to play creatures and abilities are introduced to the faction the better

I'd rather have the tricky chick than another brainless swordsman.

Well done Pink Hole.

I think with the more elvish stíled Haven buildings (if you lookin the   Castle at the map you fin many el like houses) and the more elvish styled creatures like the Light elemental (similar to the old Sprite a bit), the armor of the Sun Horseman and the Griffin is more like Elven ones the 4 th factionb will not be the Elves. It may be the Academy or the Dungeon or the Dwarven faction I think.

What do you think about it?

Not liking the Morning Glory at at.

Firstly, it looks like a H5 Dryad playing Tron.

Secondly, it seems to be what you'd logically get by trying to come up with a greater Priestess.

Thirdly, and maybe its silly, but its a non-medieval untit which is not based on any sort of mythology. Tastes like it was just thought up on the spot.

Also, isn't Blind a dark spell?
I suspect they use it because it is defensive.

Hey hi people of the forum

I dont like that new haven unit too but I cant imagine a better option for it.

All old units have been arlready replaced:
the spear man, the crossbow man, the rider, the griffin, the angel and the monk.
And a swordman would be to boring for a elite unit
so they had to do something new.

sry for my bad english ;-P

I guess I wasn't the only one writing "Fortress" in that survey then.

But I would not want the Naga and Medusa in the same town, they are to similar. The Medusa should be some kind of Naga then but I would prefer an asiatic theme.


Of course I put Fortress down and DEMANDED for it to come back

They are a bit anatomically similar, but are completely different attack-wise, besides in a Naga town shouldn't be just a single Naga-like unit, it should have a relative. So an Atlantis faction with aquatic monsters plus the Naga&Medusa&Mermaid is a good combination. It makes 3 units of the same race out of 7...it's NOT as bad as Haven that has 5 out of 7 humans (and maybe even 6 because the Angel is just a woman with wings)

Well, they weren't quite conjured up out of the blue - it was mentioned to us that the Radiant Glories were inspired by the Glories from David Farland's Runelords series.

To me it just seems like Inferno(to some degree) and Haven are starting to fall in terms of design. Haven't been all that satisfied with inferno lately, but it seems like they at least stayed within some boundries. But introducing a light element to the haven faction? This is starting to look like madness. I can see that they are trying to create a more personified force of elrath, but to me it just dosen't work. I have played the heroes franchise from 2-5 and IMO angels have always had the role of the manifested forces of elrath. Further more I really don't think this goes along the lines of the feudalism theme they are creating, even though they are also going for a more spiritual look.

I know you guys try to bring the thoughts of the community to the developers, but other than that I assume you don't have that much influence(correct me if I am wrong). So don't see this as a personal assault, but that unit is seriously messed up. Would rather have 2 types of angels then.

Well, now, don't get too antsy.

I'm just glad to see some ladies in the line-ups.  Inferno may be lacking with just the Succubus (although the Demons were always fairly patriarchal, and I always imagine Demon Overlords as being fairly misogynistic), but Necropolis even has a few girls fighting for them.

Sure, one of them is a freakish lion-eagle-person thing, and the other is a giant spider-lady.  But that's better than we had before.  And the Ghosts are back to being more like banshees, which I always thought was missing.

And Haven has three females, which shows that they're a bit more progressive.  Which is odd, because everything I've heard of the faction seems to indicate a very backwards-thinking, going-to-start-a-crusade archetype.

So who knows what we might see in the future?  Maybe all the elves will be male.  Maybe the fifth faction will be a nation of amazon troglodytes.

Or maybe an Academy run by a lecherous old man, populated by fem-bots!
