This is the top 3 on my questions:
1. The Seven Cities aka the Wizards are mentioned everywhere in H6. In what way will they appear in H6 or will they not appear at all? Neutrals?
2. The H3 Fortress was and is incredibly popular among the fans. Have you ever thought of reintroducing that faction?
3. What made you choose to go with a prequel setting instead of let's say a post-apocalyptic setting after the Dark Messiah story?

You mean among those 5 fans who keep obsessing over it? 
I don't think they could say anything else that has been speculated already, it just doesn't fit the current vision of the series. Some fans will always miss it, just like the "why can't Centaurs and Dwarves be with Elves" or "why can't Dungeon be just monsters again". And "at least put the town into a swamp" won't please the fans missing Fortress either since nobody considers Asylum in H4 a "new Fortress".

That's because Asylum was the new 'Dungeon', with the Minotaur, Medusa, Black Dragon, and Hydra (which was with them in H1-2) how could it be anything else. You also got Troglodyte and Beholder as out-of town extras, so that's 5 of the 7 creatures of H3 making a return one way or another.
H3 Fortress was popular because it was at least partly new, Haven's been around 500+ years, Inferno dates back way more than 1000, Sylvan was getting sort-of old by the time Tolkien came along, the same with H5 Fortress, and the man's also partly to blame for Stronghold. As for the Necropolis and Academy, where haven't we heard of Undead and Wizards. Oh, and just to cap it all off, we then get H5 Dungeon, populated by yet another race of elves, as if there weren't enough already.

Those are ancient alright but some terms were only recently given the meaning they have today. Like paladins. Sure we had the Order of the Palatines in French history but we know of paladins as holy knights and paragons of virtue and goodness due to D&D. I am curious how many knew that.
Misconceptions like that make it harder to tell when a concept first appeared.

I also want to know about system requirements, as I asked in a separate thread.
And since we know the full line-up of stronghold, why don't Ubi publish the 4 last artworks as well as the PDF similar to the ones of Inferno/Haven/Necropolis?
That would even not be spoilers!

It has been said that "the Editor will ship prior to the game" If that still correct, how much time ahead? If the game release is still on target for March, then the Editor could come now at any time?
Hmmm, how are they going to do this? I guess we'll purchase it seperately and the Editor is going to have its own disc or program for us to D/L? Or will we need to "pre-order" to get the Editor?
Sorry if this has already been gone over.

A) I don't see how it "doesn't fit the current version", and B), it won the town competition here. Which isn't saying much, granted, but that shows it's got quite a fair bit of support.

I said "vision", not "version", vision as in a bigger focus on the campaign/storyline where every faction is given an equal share and they are more racial based so throwing non-intelligent reptiles together doesn't fit now. And in my opinion it won't the competition mainly because it's the only regular old town not to ever have a comeback, obviously if Dungeon was absent from H5, people would have voted that one instead. Or if both were in H5, then Conflux would have won.
And I do know Asylum had its roots in the Dungeon but it was still "in the swamp" so even if they created a town with swamp as its terrain for H6, it would still not please the Fortress fans because they'd want most of its creatures returning and due to the aforementioned reasons, that's not gonna happen.

I'd say it will be released once spoilers are done... no use in releasing the map editor if it means "OMG I LOOKED IN THE EDITOR AND I SAW THE THUNDERCATS OF SYLATH ARE THE FIFTH FACTION."
At the very least i'd say the fifth faction needs to be revealed then we can start expecting the editor.

I support this question.

That's a thing that I'm interested in too since Academy is my favorite Faction.
