Not the Gods themselves, no, but they could make some sort of Avatars or incarnations.

Too many dragons in the Heroes universe. With so much mythology in the world, anything more than 1 dragon comes across as uninspired and lazy.
Oh I don't know that I'd set the limit at 1 (in fact, I know I wouldn't, especially considering all the possible variations on dragons), but I get your point. Of course, it's not so much the dragons that get me as they way they've been underwritten in the lore.

I'm not so sure, weren't we told there would be 10 bosses?
Last I heard it was 8 bosses, but then, last I heard, we were only going to get 8 neutrals as well, but the wolves bring it up to 10, so, yeah.
On a different note. With all of this stuff coming out, I wonder when the Age of Heroes staff is going to get in the game and start making a site.

Also, Shalassa is up, and it's deffinitely not the same as the Dragon Eel.
If you cant find it on the oficial wbe it means the russins did it

Shalassa is an surpirse, at least her looks. Could be a little more elegant but OK

These last news (The Haven Compendium and the Dragons) were made just to calm fans who criticised the lack of Dragons and factions. Probably this week they will show also a concept for Sar-Elam, just to have something related to the Academy faction.
I would love if the "elves" Dragon would look like the one in the news thread

Maybe they are testing the connection with conflux...
And the red things on the Urgash, are they supposed to be lava or blood? (According to the description it looks like these red things are his wounds). If so, I'm surprised that they decided to not put fire on Urgash's concept art.

Yes I was lucky to connect to conflux and see some saves from offline play. I could continue from some days before a crash. I was testing some builds of lv30 heroes but it didn't last long enough it disconnected very soon again  . Why can't we simply save offline, pff.

You can, but you have to use the trick posted earlier in this thread (Nelgirith's, if I remember correctly) to play the game as Skirmish. There is only one autosave slot, but othervise saving works fine.

Thanks for the response, but I'm a bit confused. If I buy the digital copy, will it be available for download the night of the 8th (or morning of the 9th)? I plan to buy digital since I live in the US. And I think a day off from work to play games is a great idea!  I haven't had a good new game to play in a long time, and I wouldn't feel like I had just wasted the weekend if I played on Friday instead 
Yes usually digital content is released on a given hour of the release date so yes if you go with the digital one you'll be able to download it on the 8th of September.
And if I remember correctly Steam has a counter as a notification until your able to download it may be some people have used it more and are able to fill you in more exactly.
So the dragon deity get there 5 minutes of fame (well at list the get unrevealed).
MALASSA looks ok maybe more fog surrounding it or to give an incorporeal appearance would have been of greater effect.
ELRATH like the whole Heaven faction it would be awesome but something just is missing/to mundane.
Asha well INMO would have looked grate if the pose ware more dynamic (as somebody pointed out looks like a pose of a cat) and not so clean cut and delicate features but more ruff more primordial and a look that would give of a air of danger and majesty.
Urgash captured the essence of chaos and is fine as a dragon but could have used some wings even if similar to a bath wing but with cuts and holes in it.
ARKATH take the wings all-together and give them to Urgash (with above mentioned opinion) and would look awesome.
SHALASSA Nothing to comment captured the essence of a water dragon.
Curious to see the remaining ones Sar-Elam, Sylana and Sylath./

I have to agree. I expected it to be more "spiritual", like glories.
Still the art by itself is great, I wish we could fight it
And they should have made the glories based on the Elrath, like some small version of it. At least they wouldn't look so boring.

Ah thanks, I'll try that when it becomes unavailable again, for now it's still possible to connect to conflux, maybe not for long .
edit: well it seems we can save but not load the save, so it doesn't work finally or is there another trick to load the save too?

It's good to see the Dungeon and Fortress factions confirmed through the descriptions of the dragon deities. It makes me curious about the last two - Sylvan and Academy, no doubt - but now I'm wondering where the Stronghold and Necromancer dragons are hiding. Looks like somebody got the shaft!

That is hardly a confirmation. Ubi may have an overall vision for Ashan but that does not necessarily mean every race will be present in H6. I'm rather hoping they will though, with a little work, dwarves can turn out a great faction.

Hear, hear!
All known factions have great potential and there is plenty potential for unknown factions. I still seem to recall there once being told that Ashan has 10 major factions in total, so there's plenty possibilities for the future.

Strange, it works for me since 1,2 patch. Are you sure you are in the skirmish mode and loading skirmish saves? I'm able to offline load offline saves without problems.

No that (about the Titans) seems pretty unequivocal. I guess the question is then whether it will be as a Champion for Academy or rather as a Boss.
