The delay is really good news! I'm not sure if it means improved UI and town screens, but at least it shows they don't want to release an unfinished game.


Sure thing. I know I 'm gonna sound like a troll , but I really hope the delay is not about bringing back full screen towns . As much as I was sceptical and as much as the design of town windows had a reallypoor ergonomy , I really prefered no to have this 1 second splash animation between map/town and also I really enjoyed the fact that I was keeping track of my environnement while managing the town  buying creatures and making plans in general, not having to go back and forth between town and map was an improvement and I m really looking forward a well designed and practical town window.

Then they should make a toggle button to switch between windowed and full screen.

Not exactly. The maiars are servants (low rank) of the valars. For example Sauron is a maiar and serves to Melkor (Morgoth) in ancient times.
While here we have two relatively equal races - Angels and Faceless. As the old universe and here it's not very clear about the earlier periods as you said. Maybe the difference is that here the gods are known but in the old universe the Creators and Ancients are vagued. Also the origin of Kreegans is not clear.

The kreegans were parasitic aliens,
so it is likely that they were malware

Weren't there 6 elder races: Angels, Faceless, Elves, Dwarves, Naga and Humans? The Demons obviously are a separate entity, whereas I don't think Undead should be counted as a race in itself ('Undead' seems to be opposed to 'Living'). As for the Dark Elves, there is actually not any strict indication that they are a race for themselves, is there? I mean, they're not even dark-skinned like the Drow.

But on top of all those, there would also be the beastmen, each of which would be their own race, i.e. Gremlins, Harpies, Minotaurs, Sharkmen, Orcs, Centaurs, Cyclops, Goblins ... any forgotten? So the total race count on Ashan would still surpass 10.


Just because the dark elves are dark elves they don't have to be dark-skinned,even though the dark elves are sometimes also described as dark skinned in mythology,but this is not always the case and it is sometimes said that they are only dark skinned because of their working at the forge(and they don't do that in H5)so the dark elves in H5 have a rather pale skin,which is quite logical,as they do not get much sunlight and don't work at forges...

And cyclops and goblins are also half-broods,so they are counted to the orcish creatures and well I think they talk about 10 basic-races,just because there are some subraces doesn't change the number of basic races.
The beastman for example are all quite different,but that doesn't change the fact,that they are all beastman,so they all belong to the same race.

Eh - no. The term "beastman" just is used as a common description for all those creatures created by the Wizards through experiments. For instance a Harpy is absolutely unrelated to a Minotaur.

You took the words out of my mouth! Loved Silmarillion and actually reading it again now, quite a complicated Tolkien book.
In the beginning, Eu, The One, created the Ainur spirits with his music and then made the world, and if the Ainur descended to the world, then they became Valar....one such Valar was Morgoth/Melkor who didn't like to play Eu's all-encompassing music, but prefered to play his own in the void/darkness and got jealous of the other Valar, especially Manwe and Ulmo who created alot.....much like Urgash jealous of Asha and all her creation....love the storyline that Ubisoft have taken compared to Tolkien.

Good on postponing the release of H6 to October 13

I really like the way they keep halting the game's release, good to see one company actually listens to their fans. I'd rather wait a couple more months for a finished game, than to get an instant half finished one. Lets just hope they bring back the town screen. They can even make a toggle townscreen option f.30or those who dont like it.

I'm surprised that Ubisoft let the dev team delay the game so many times...

 Just to take out a moment of debate as to how many races are there and which ones are elder or not, do we have any information regarding the August Beta will it be public and will it have new content and options maybe maps or that's classified informations, also the delay of beta I reckon has something to do with Gamescom 2011 that is hold between 17-21 August ?! , probably they will want show of some of the improvements that have been done and which ware taken from the feedback of the first beta (hopefully)

Unless they changed anything, Irina said in the Q&A that the August beta would still be a closed one.

But they are both still beastman.
Even though they are two completely different kinds of beastman they still belong to the same group of creatures.It is just like for example scorpions and spiders who both belong to the same class of animals,the arachnida,even though they don't have that much in common,just like the beastman.

And all in all I wouldn't call the beastman to be completely unrelated to each other,because they all have one thing in common and that is being half-human and half-animal.

That's like saying monkeys belong to the same race as humans,
because we're both primates.

It's more like saying all waterliving animals are the same race, or all flying creatures are the same race, or even that all creatures of the same colour are the same race. The term 'beastman' has nothing to do with race at all, it's just a classification used to group a set of creatures that share nothing other than their artificial origin (namely that they were created by wizards through experiments with criminals, or whatever the details are). I don't think you could make offspring from a Harpy with a Sharkman, although I would love to see what it looked like.

The primate comparison vaguely reminds me of a quote from Kung Pow: enter the fist.

I'm sure on some planet your logic style is impressive, but your weak link is: this is Earth.
