After the latest info on the screens the poll is still on 80%. Good sign. I wonder how the beta will affect all of this. Will some of the doubters be turned, or will some of the believers be satisfied with the windows? hmmm...

This year is truly terrible. Every great game I'm waiting for was ruined (or soon will be). Why do they think removing-something is an improvement? First DA2, now this. 
At first I'm angry, now all that's left is sadness.
Why must they ruin it all...

Fixed that for you.
It's not an absolute, don't condemn something without substantial evidence.
But yes, let's hope they revisit the town-screens during those 3 months and make them full-screen.

Oh man, what is sufficient evidence?
We had a screenshot from Cologne and a video showing town window with 6 months apart and they were almost identical, only difference was added video for necro instead placeholder.
Then we had multiple confirmation from insiders and at the end from Marzhin that window will be non interactive and fixed in size.
And like cherry on the cake we saw screenshot from Budapest showing worst possible window with same size as one in Cologne.
Community manager didn't bother or didn't get the permission to say any word of reassurance that window will not be as bad as we think.
For me thats enough evidence that town windows would be worst possible junk we could imagine. Now we have one last shot to convince developers to reconsider.

Actually, several times insiders have mentioned it's not as bad as we think.
Again also implying that it's not as good as the full-screen window we want, because we want fullscreen, but screaming profanity when we have yet to see a confirmed final version is just rabble-rousing.
Yes I also want fullscreen, yes I most likely won't like small town-windows.
All I'm asking for as that we don't lose our heads over something we don't know that much about, none of the shots we've seen have been denied, true, but they also haven't been confirmed.
There is just as much evidence to suggest we haven't seen their final incarnation as that we have.
One last time: despite that, I also hope they decide to go full-screen!
I am not-pro town-window!

Lets put it this way:
Town windows in their best possible incarnation imaginable are totally unacceptable by me because I cannot understand what window brings to the game (and please don't say no loading time for screens). For me there is absolutely no reason at all to switch to windows.
On top of all I was repeatedly reassured that all my suspicions that windows will underperform are true by many sources.

Best thing they could do is to give detailed information about town windows from official representative.
I want to know what is whole idea and mindset of developers behind town windows and if there is a chance they can revert to screens with this delay.

It's not their style to give out information before something is done, hoping that the finished product will be so good that we forgive them. I don't think we'll get full screens unless the beta creates a massive response regarding the issue.

3. Will there be townscreens?
There are town windows, and they work as follows:
- The town screen is actually a town window. It is designed to remain the same size whatever your screen resolution is, even if you use a 16:9 monitor.
- The town visuals will be animated and are what could be described as "2.5D".
- Each town has its own musical theme (as usual).
- The town visuals change when you build stuff (although in the current design, not all buildings appear).
- Building and recruiting is done through the window interface, rather than clicking on the buildings directly.
Whole thing is here:

Its... same as always. I would laugh but this whole thing is to damn insulting...

You forgot to mention this part of the interview, directly beneath the screenshot:
"Now, we were talking about “emerging threads” earlier, and it’s clear it’s a hot topic for the communities, so there may be a few changes before release."

Words can't describe how bad it looks, especially compared to the glorious past of town screens.
Now I can clearly see that the window is also transparent for the most part.. 
If they were really aware that town windows are "a hot topic for the communities", they wouldn't propose "few changes before release", they would just trash this thing and make some decent town screens!
I mean, how many Heroes fans/gamers prefer these windows to the old screens? 1 out of 10? Maybe 2?
Shouldn't it be enough to change their minds, since it's not even a gameplay feature?
I can understand their determination with the new creature tiers, the 5 factions or the cut resources, because these changes affect the gameplay they have in mind.
But what about town-screens/windows? They are changing a mere visual/atmospherical factor here, and if the players don't like it AT ALL, why insist on it???

Indeed. There you go, we're now on the same wavelength, we've all seen a prospective final version of the town window. Give me your final barrage of opinions on this and let's see if we can do something about it

My stance on this has been and most likely will stay for the forseeable future:
"I would greatly prefer a full-screen town-screen with every building visibly altering my town's appearance (simply by being there or upgrading.)"

The Town Window is pathetic. Town Screens have been a vital part of Heroes from H1, and developing a town by purchasing consecutive buildings that appeared on the screen to blend in with a certain architecture was cool. It is possibly the worst change in H6 (there are a few), added to by an ABSOLUTE lack of reason and justification, I mean - Did ANYONE EVER complain about town screens? It is an essential and atmospheric part of a faction's identity.
