New combat video.
I kinda liked it, but I recommend muting it, no disrespect to Irina but her english is abhorrent to listen to and her monotone voice over on the video was draining on my enthuisiasm.

Actually the game is 16+ as it's said at the beginning of eatch video.
About mermaids: so now they are floating above the ground or what?
So about the video, the cyclops ability is really intresting but also unlogical. The attack animation from that water thingie is the only somehow good think about her.
I hope the music in background is placeholder cos it's not that good like from Homm3 or Homm5.
Irina's voice and accent is really somehow strange but she gives some information. Btw why is the video resolution that bad? On fullscreen it pixeled

New Video out
Irina has a Strong Russian accent. Can't help it But I like it more then Xhana's french.
So general feelings
I hope the battle speed is on Normal and we will be able to speed it up.
Plus points
The Mizu Kami actually looks nice, but still this won't save he if she looks like the water elemental.
We get so info on the unites abilities. Kirin looks two strong whit all those buffs and debuffes. Similar to that, Dream walkers have entangle roots?.
And I really love the cyclopes "To dumb to die" perk. It can give a nice advantage. plus, he shoots whit his eye!!!!
The Blizzard spell reminds me of Toxic rain from KB.
Edit: About Irinas accent. This is a pure Slavic thing. Slavic people do not use stress in there languages. Many people generally say that Slavic languages are monotone, they do not use stress and intonation is used for emotions or additional sentence meanings. The western people often think we are uninterested or bored, or even that our talk makes them fall asleep. We on the other hand think western people shout all the time, are rude and unnececeraly laud.

Maybe Kirin has a bit lower stats than other champs?
The cyclopes already have a place in my heart

Ah so it's a cultural thing, that explains it.
Regardless, I found it detrimental, but as I also already said, no disrespect meant.
If I have offended you I apologise, I was merely expressing me dislike for her voice over.
Thanks for the cultural fact, I'll try and bear that in mind next time I'm listening to somebody with a Slavic background speaking.

New vid is cool! Irina has a nice accent, somewhat sexy even. Bring on the Beta!
(P.S.: Question to the VIP fans:Is the music reused from some other MM game, or is it new?)
EDIT: Thanks, Yasmiel!

This, only I would prefer abstract shapes to animals.
Energetic creatures, Constantly changing.
It's hard to describe. I'll probably draw something at one point.

Yehhha well the lunch trailer said 12, did it change in the meanwhile, never bothered to read it again ...any way if it's as you say than +2 the whole thing although I don't thing that a unit without some up front cover could have pushed the game 18+...

If you are referring to music used in that Combat video 2, it seems to be battle music from Clash of Heroes DS game. Most likely a placeholder I imagine.

oh, kirin can only move up to 6 squares? according to their anti-slow ability, I thought they would be one of the fastest units...
in another hand, their trail ability seem strong

Quote: True and I agree with your opinion Elvin but I just have a issue with the way companies/publishers deal with the open beta ... they sell it as a privilege you get by per-ordering the game or other gimmicks and is a bit insulting to it's user intelligent (at list thats the way I see it), we all know and most would be happy to help in the game development even by playing a buggy beta stage for the game taking the crashes and some PC failures to iron out and give us at the lunch day a fully functional and bug free game so way do they fell the need to make it a privileged think and sell it like something that is an extra and a functional part of the game by paying extra. (Money is money and the work for it but still ...)
Of course you have an issue, it's plain shameless.

But just because it's cheap, shameless and generally should be frowned upon, that doesn't mean that I don't plan on playing the Beta and providing actual feedback, not to mention trying to "break the game" to see if any possible exploits can be ironed out before the release.
I'm gonne play that beta, most likely to enjoy it, but also to actually tell them directly what's wrong with it that needs ironing out.
Them listening to me or any other tester for that matter is a different story, but it's better then keeping our mouthes shut and letting stuff slide.

Anybody else thinks the Kirin's trail ability is bah-roken?
You just... let your other creatures walk through and they immediately gain a 2nd turn? Just like that? No strings attached?
Too good to believe... maybe it works only for the first creature?
Oh, and the Water Spirit is gorgeous, period. I do not know what you people are smoking, but both its design and its animation are among my top 5 for HOMM6. Graceful, surreal and deadly. Exactly how I like my Mazu Kamis...
On the Neutrals revealed so far:
Earth Elemental: Great design, hope it is more useful than in previous installments
Air Elemental: My fav air elemental ever, this time it looks both incorporeal (Heroes V) and menacing (Heroes IV)
Fire Elemental: The jury is out on this one. But I expect mostly good things out of its animated version
Phoenix: Can't wait to see it on the battlefield. Looks good on paper, but how do they plan to animate this majestic blue goodness?
Mermaid: As much as I dread the return of one of the most mundane neutrals of all time (why not a neutral naga instead?), I have to admit that the design & animation of Ariel are stunning.
Wolf: Yawn... Now if they only bring the White Tiger and the Unicorn back, they might as well throw them together in a "Cage" city and create the Zoo faction.
All in all, however, the goodness just keeps coming. Yep, I'm pretty sold on the creature designs and art direction of the game so far. Now if they only get those damn town screens right...

The video looks good,I was really surprised,that the cyclops was able to shoot that laser out of his eye^^.
I also noticed,that the quirin walks at one point and doesn't fly,which is most likely because it just walked a really small path(I remember in H5 it looked sometimes really weird if a big flying unit(like the bone dragon) moved only 1 tyle)

If you pre-order on Steam now you will get beta access, as it says on their webpage.
On a different note, I haven't watched the combat video yet, I've saved it for now
But a big kudos for having a lot of info coming out again!

Okey, now I've seen the combat video. It looks nice, most of the movements are fast and smooth, but I thought some of them were a little slow. I've always hated that some creatures slow down gameplay because of their unnecessarily slow movements even on max speed.
Also the special abilities look interesting, I'm just worried that there are too many of them..?
