I allways liked the idea of alternative mounts, though...

I would have said that the Inferno horse wasn't a Nightmare because it didn't have a horn, but then I remembered that the Cerberus has lost one whole head.

What I want to know is this: the Collector's Edition description makes mention of an "epic mount". Does that imply that all heroes have the capability to find an alternate mode of transportation, or does it simply mean that you'll be able to tick a check-box in the Options menu to have a specialty mount for all heroes in the game?
where is written this description?

thanks. Maybe this epic mount will be available for custom heroes in the moment of its creation?

I'm a bit dissapointed. The Nightmare is a nice touch, but I think horses for all factions are a stepback, the Elefant for Academy in H5 was epic, and I also liked the Mammoths, Unicorns and Rams.

I agree... its very boring that they are all horses.
They were more creative in H5 with the mounts.
But yeah, a sea horse would be awesome for Naga but in the video were we have seen a naga hero, it wasn't mounted (though that may not say anything).

If Naga heroes are snakes, though, how can they be mounted?

And I don't know, but some of the HV mounts felt weird. Unicorns are sentient and would never degrade themselves to be ridden like animals, elephants would be a pretty crappy combat mount and mammoths practically deserve to be their own unit.
A horse or horse-like thing (dungeon lizard for example) makes the most sense as a mount; oxen and elephants not so much.

That was my big problem with the H5 mounts. Besides the fact that a wizard on his elephant mount was the same size as a warlock on his lizard (was the same size as a knight on a horse, was the same size as a demon lord just standing there...). I mean, I know that the hero icons on the adventure map were supposed to be just icons representing the hero's army. But then the icons should at least be the same scale as each other. And unless wizards and elephants in Ashan are reeeeeally small...
But yes; the heroes in H5 looked silly on their pachydermoreptilian mounts. Unless they can figure out a way to render the mounts better (and I mean a lot better) than they were in Heroes V, I'm fine just having horses.

The mounts in H5 was pretty laughable, sure the idea of having unique creatures a mounts was cool but it wasn't so cool in the end IMO.
The H6 mounts is a lot cooler and works much, much better. And despite them all being horses, they are very cool.

YAY! We got the mounts artwork! I like haven ( a lot) demons (a freaking nightmare! If they arent units let them be mounts at least) I have a mixed feeling for necropolis (need to make and X-ray ) but the stronghold one looks like a donkey (no offense to donkeys anywhere in the world )

mmm maybe the elephant, bull and lizard will be the epic mount? for eye candy? or maybe a DLC? who knows you can set gender, class, specialization, maybe also a mount to use, I mean that would be a good content for DLC although the purpose is merely eye candy.

As ludicrousas the H5 mounts may have been, they at least showed an attempt at originality, a bunch of horses really just says 'we couldn't be bothered coming up with something better'.

The only difference so far is that Stronghold does not have an Ox but a horse too, although a powerful one. There is no Academy, Fortress or Dungeon to sport Elephants, T-Rexes or Mammoths. And the Nightmare might be looking like a horse but the Demon Lord in H5 was on foot.

For the start I wil say that I am disapointed wit the look of the mounts.
Many of you think that the mounts in Heroes V were badly designed but please lats look at these 4 we have here
Knight horse: I may be the only one that has a problem with this but this doesn!t look like a War steed. It looks more like a riding hors for parkur, and the plates on its heels? Why? So his legs will by hevyer and the hors would by slower?
Nightmare: This one looks nice but if we compare it to the Nightmare unit from heroes V i just feel like making a kitten from a tiger.
Undead shadow poney: What exatly is this supposed to by? A horse made of shadow and poison? It looks like something summonde from a deep black bog then a undead horse and it actuely looks cute.
Stronghold oversized donkey: For the first point Why would a fation of island dwellers use horses? why? Horses are from wied feelds not jungel. For second point, if the firs horse was a riding horse for parkur this one looks like a Valach that is used for beringing down logs from the forest. And both are not war mounts.
The Idea of the unique mounts for eache faction that has been presented in Heroes V was nice but badly made
Unicorn for Elves (bad designed and look to WH)
Elephant for Wizards (Looked to small and why not use flaing carpet or slaves)
Lizard fo dark elves (looked to jurasic)
Mamuth for Dwarves (Why? Just Why?)
The rest look good or OK
Demon on foot (a nice change)
Human on horse (yeay a war horse not a riding one in armor)
Necro unded horse (that looks unded and like a horse)
And Ox for barbarians (big mean intimidating, just like its rider)
So the Idea was badly made into the game. Thing could by made better but this is alway so.
It feels like a step back for me and it is even worse when I see the artwork I have a feeling, that the artists didn't have any imagination if the mount would by actually functional.
