Mermaids did start as half dolphins, it was those pervy wizards that wanted them to have a more exotic look From the time of their creation till the time of H6 they have changed quite a bit. Unfortunately this is barely hinted in the description.

Also this is a fantasy world, why wouldn't mammals be able to be merged with fish? They didn't breed these things they created them with magic.

I agree with you on this one. Forget what I said above, for a momment I forgot they were merged with humans. Still I have no problems with dolphins.

About the screenshot, I guess ore will count as a rare resource and we will have big quantities of wood for every mine.

Quote:
what about the dragon eel? is that still a neutral creature?
also, i've read in these forums about boss creatures. anyone care to explain to me what they are?

Bosses are like bosses in other games. They're special creatures that are very strong and you have to defeat them in order to progress in the campaign.
You have this video(at 3:15) to have an idea.
Dragon Eel is a boss.

CRAZY THEORY TIME!
1= Cepheus said something about there being as many creatures that have 'elemental' in their name as the number of elemental dragons ( I think)
AKA: 6
we already know about 3 of them: fire, earth and air.
2= we already have a Glory (light elemental) and spring spirit (water)
and the developers aren't SO stupid to create a light and water elementals with the same model ( I think).
3= The only picture we saw of the dark elemental was shot underground and looked like he was made of smoke.
4= It is been hinted that there will be 2 wolves and one could be an upgrade to the other one.
So...
There WILL be 6 elementals but not air, earth, water, fire, light and dark. They will be air, earth, fire, STORM (in H3 the storm elemental was the upgrade to the air elemental and was considerably darker) MAGMA ( or anything else that can be an earth elemeantal upgrade) and ENERGY ( or anything else that can be a fire elemental upgrade).
The dark elemental will come in an expansion as a dungeon unit OR a neutral.
Now think about this well... or maybe forget about this crazy theory!

The Phoenix, or more precisely Moon Phoenix, also presents itself very well so far, especially compared to the pitiful H5 version, and I am indifferent towards the colour change, and even like it as it's more unique and original.


Where did you see the H6 Phoenix?

I have a question for those who have pre-ordered the game from Steam. The game's page in my Steam library doesn't have any icon of the game nor any screen show in the background or any options showing how and when to participate in the beta. It simple is like this:



Is this normal? Does it show like this in your Steam too?

Yes, I think now it's associated with the moon, so that would make sense.

Forgive me for asking but I lost my copy of HoMM5 fairly early (and a friend of mine got his stolen. It's like a curse, but enough of that) so I didn't play a lot of the main campaign.
Has the Phoenix - Ashan Version - always been associated with the moon?
If not, is that another retcon or do you think there will be an in-game explanation of the change?

Thank you for the reply!
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the story much so forgive my asking such questions! So, a blue phoenix... I can't say I won't miss the bulk of fire lurking around the corner

I do not remember them having any background in H5 so that should not be much of a problem and the Phoenix in COH was actually blue as well.

And we can even find out that there are different type of phoenixes. For example associated whit different aspects of Asha.


Back to the Mermaid topic:
Am I the only one who was hoping that the Mermaid will a by a Dragon vain compound, similarly to the Geyphon or the Maticora?

Beastman are a fine idea as a complete set of creatures, but we have 5 of them already (OK 4 and a half)
(centaur, Minotaur, Sharkman, harpy and Lamasu) why add another one.

The one in H3 was more of a summonable flaming dragon-phoenix.. Good riddance if you ask me. I was a little disappointed when I saw H6 phoenix being blue - until I saw it ingame. That was one beautiful sight

You meant H5 . And Yes, you already saw it in game, We did not have that luck so far.

The H5 Phoenix had a very unique, but dragon like design. But I really liked his game mechanic (the summoned ones)

Hmm actually there was also a neutral one, was ridiculously fast too.

For those who get the beta, you can see a phoenix on the broken alliance multiplayer map. Problem is that ability descriptions are bugged atm so you would probably be unable to see what it can do.

Oh. Well, that answers that question.
I didn't play Clash of Heroes because the... art direction was completely off-putting to me.
What is a Dragon Vein Compound?

EDIT: No Dark elemental or wolves Only creature I really liked was the ErthEl.
