Something I would like amended:
When it's the human opponent or AI turn, that the minimap is not hidden and that they show their movement on the minimap....sometimes you see them moving on the big map but not sure of their bearings on the whole map....

I like your idea but it's not practical, the Drgaon Gods are spiritual and not physical beings, besides who whould the Orcs have defending their town, mother earth or father sky? And who would the wizards have? And I think it would make Necro and Inferno at a big advantage having the primordial gods with them....
Urgash for Inferno, Asha for Necro, Elrath for Haven, Shalassa for Sanctuary, Malassa for Dark Elves, Sylanna for Sylvan, Arkath for Dwarves, Ylath for Academy, Father Sky for Orcs.
I know Academy don't worship any Gods. But as the info about Ylath suggests "he is the seeker of hazardous knowledge, of crafts that are handed down by the shortlived humans from father to child, of myriad facts about the world which he views from on high." so he would be the defender of the scince, knowledge and crafts of Academy.
About the "they are spiritual but not physical": Well, they have drawen them physically, so I don't think it would be hard to make them in the game. Again, the thing I suggest is like it is in Disciples 3. So, I don't think it is unpractical.

@ Nocturnal:
But what does Father Sky look like?
Why not use Mother Earth, as the battles are fought on the ground?
Wizards can't be linked to Ylath, they have no symbol.....
Besides, Urgash and Asha would be too powerful than the other Elemental Dragons....

OMG! I am playing with a "guy" (overstatement) named "steinernein". Before we start he picks necro and I write to him "no turtling". He replies "k" and I start the game. The battle starts and he places all his creatures in the corner!!!! hahaha Of course I quit the game and he starts swearing at me calling me names!
Unbelievable what kind of people (and other overstatement) we see in here...

Nocturnal: Nice idea... but not for H6. I know those images are all nice and so but it would be a complete disaster both lorewise and gameplaywise. Like if attacking cities wasn't pain already.
As for the lore, some people can't even stand elementals in castle lineup, so I don't want to imagine what would happen if there were the elemental dragons themselves.
And from the perspective of gameplay the sieges would have to look completely different if this idea was to be implemented succesfuly. Maybe there could be some similar feature when defending a grail city, but even there it seems inappropriate. Sorry.

Thank's people for the answer, I had a hunch the wouldn't bother to update the Demo but as always hope dies last.
On a optimistic note it's a month give or take till the release date and I must say I'm hyped about it it's got his flaws (Town Window) but it's still an addictive and fun game to play...

It's still "just a game" though, judging from what little I played of it.
I don't know jack about the quality of the beta campaign, so I can't really complain about that,
but is the game still lacking in the sound department?

How does the game hold up in multiplayer? If I'll be getting it, it will be solely for multiplayer.

Well I would rather say,that since there is no real god as father sky,that the orcs would get ylath and that the academy get the spirit of Sar-elam,the wizard who became a dragon god himself and who more or less represents magic itself.
But well I also think that,it would be too much to fight them,while capturing a town,but they(or at least some kind of avatar from them) could function as bosses in the story mode or to protect the tear of asha on some maps.

How does Logistics work?
I am playing againts AI and he is cruizing around and I cannot catch him, he goes further than I can.
I have:
Logistics
Pathfinding
Snatch
Am level 15 and he's level 17. Does this make the difference? (ie. logistics ability increases as you level up)...

Logistic is static +3 to movement.
AI can also have these abilities or artifacts.
Also pathfinding reduces hard terrain speed for 50%.
AI may for a while cross normal terrain while you are being stuck on "hard".
Also it may cheat.

Then the AI must have had artifacts increasing movement, funny thing is the AI had this dashing light behind it when it moved and it seemed to move quicker too.....

Isn't "Father Sky" another name for Ylath? And Mother Earth for Sylanna? I have always thought, they are the orcish names for those two dragon gods...
Anyway, what I want to say is that I hate the AI. It's totally stupid!
I was exploring the map, when my hero got stuck near a Inferno town. The game told me, that a "Deadly" army is hiding inside, and so I started to pray for mercy from the computer. However, it seemed, that nobody listened to my prayer and during the computer's turn, his hero attacked me with full force.
I had: 8 archangels, around 15 griffins, sun riders and glories and 50-75 sisters, praetorians and marksmen.
Computer had: 3 pit lords, 25 juggernauts & lacernators, 15 breeders, 80 cerberi, 150 demented and about 120 succubi.
I have managed to lower his army to 10 juggernauts, 20 lacernators, 10 breeders, 20 cerberi, 120 demented and 65 succubi (killing all the pitlords) with 4 archangels and 15 marksmen surviving ...and suddenly the computer gave up! He just retreated with his whole army.
And as the new day dawned, I just rode with my hero into his empty castle and converted it...
Didn't UBI promise us a major AI improvement? Because, I see none in the demo...

As Kraal says in Slava's campaign, Ylath and Elrath, the sky and the sun are 2 aspects of Father Sky. Neither of them is Father Sky.

Yeah, I forgot about that one... so, isn't then Asha the third aspect?

Since Orcs have no access to Prime magic, I don't think so

Mythologically Father Sky and Mother Earth are among the earliest diety-like "figures" and they are more abstract and less personified than, say, your regular anthropomorphic gods. As they are "primitive" deities, the people with gigantic imagination who wrote the Ashan lore probably decided that they can easily copy-paste their images and make them gods of the primitive Orcs. If this is so, the Orcs do not believe in anything even close to the Dragon-Gods but, roughly speaking, in the nature itself, probably considering everything in it an aspect of Father Sky and Mother Earth. Of course you have to explain how come ex-humans + ex-demons made by atheists or at least agnostics suddenly start believing in something which has little to do with either of these groups but I guess this could be considered nitpicking.

Can you even be agnostic/atheist in a universe where the existence of dragons gods is pretty much a well-established fact?
I don't care. Wizards are awesome, if only for the single fact that they don't worship a dragon (also they've yet to be ruined in H6).
Kicking it back on your elephant, tokin' on a hookah while wasting foo's in the name of science, what more could you possibly ask for?

Of course you can, it entirely depends on your definition of "God" and whether you want to use that notion or have something else in mind which, according to you at the very least, could be more accurate. After all, the Dragon-Gods could appear to be just localized versions of the Dragon Pharaoh. Dum spiro spero.

Demon blood and Seven Cities culture gave them free-will mind and strength to survive in the wilderness. They are "nature" born nomads. Think: native North Americans or Mongols tribes.

In my opinion religion role put behind them is quite good.
I have some questions regarding some skills:
Does the "Duck and Cover" applies to different types of obstacles?
It says that it applies to siege walls... Only?
How useful are these skills:
- Battle march
- Siege Mastery II
- Economics II and III
- Rampage
- Resilience
Do you know how might power affects creature damage?
For eg. +5 might power?
If you have full tear reputation how much health gains these +x skills in might tree? ( it says they are affected by reputation )
In some map I had ~800 rep in Tear and it gave +3% ( first level skill ) and +2% ( second level skill ) to creature health.
