Well said, bixie.
I had this fear and worry with Heroes V's announcement back in 2005. New developer, 3D engine... I actually kind of assumed it wouldn't be much like the previous games at all.
Having said that, we're lucky to have a new developer that is being faithful, despite many years later and basing their work on a game before it that wasn't even done by New World Computing.

I don’t want to complain about the game before I play it.
My main disappointments are the low quantity of information and the bad official site.
So I give you just an example of schedule. There are 11 week from 4th April till 17th June (I exclude last week). So 11 weeks * 5 (work)days = 55 days.
Daily info
Artifacts  There are 150 artifacts – almost 3 artifacts (with icons and descriptions) per day could be revealed.
Spells According to this there are 14 spells. If we assume that each magic school has approximately 14 spells then 14*6 = 84. So, they could reveal 1 spell (icon + description) per day (in 26 days) and 2 spells per day (in last 29 days).
Skills Same way like spells ( according to this) – 15*5 = 75. So, 1 skill per day (in 35 days) and 2 skills per day (in last 20 days) with the descriptions and icons.
!!! I’m not sure about the numbers of the spells and skills. I’m just guessing. Don’t speculate!!!
Screenshots Every day the testers play the game. Ubi can give us a shot per day as they did it before.
Weekly info
There are 8 neutral creatures So they could reveal creature (3D model + abilities) per week from 1st till 8th week
There are 8 bosses They could reveal creature per week from 4th week till 11th week. There are too many things to reveal as 3D models, stats, abilities, story…..
There are 10 types of heroes (might and magic) Almost 1 hero type per week with all Class Abilities, Reputation (Blood/Tears), descriptions like this buged thing and etc.
Also there are left other things like full reveal of Sanctuary, descriptions of the adv. map objects, town windows, buildings in the towns......
If from Ubi are worried that we lose interest if we have more information – THAT’S NO TRUE. The more info the more wish to play.
This is just an example. You could add something in the schedule and then we could sand to Ubi if they can't handle to create a info plan.

[My first post, on this website, in a long, long while.]
The HM&M series has been my favo(u)rite since 1995, when I was 8½-years old. (That does not make me an expert : I have only played against the A.I.)
I used to believe that H3 was the very best, but when I finally obtained a very powerful processor & videocard, and a 25½-inch widescreen, my eyeballs popped-out & my jaw dropped-down when confronted with "Tribes of the East" 3.1 : I hope I will not offend anybody here by stating that the HM&M series has peaked with that H5/3.1 version (released in October 2008, 2½ years ago).
Now, to get on topic. I do not really wish to complain, but I do have a few perplexed observations to express :
1. FIVE whole years have passed since H5/1.0 was published. The NWC cycle was less than that : late 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002. Ubisoft is a very powerful corporation, and HM&M is a very profitable franchise : I wonder why it took 5 years. To get what? Will it be a dumbed-down game to cater to a wider "market" ?
2. No more full-3D to pacify the poor souls who do not have up-to-date rigs? Was it so much pain to rotate the map to find a concealed pile of sulfur? I have spent hundreds of hours editing H5 maps : I never found its full-3D a problem too difficult to handle (not taking into account the editor's scripting complexity).
3. Speaking of sulfur : no more. And no more mercury. And no gems. OK : not a big deal ... but it seems to be another example of a dumbing-down trend.
I am really not complaining. I keep an open mind. I am such a huge fan of the series that I am ready to play @ HM&M in ANY form : I even enjoy H4, once and awhile, on extremely edited, custom maps.
But ... Ubisoft + FIVE years : it should equal to something awesome. I doubt it will beat H5/3.1, but I look forward to play the beta, on 20 April.

you can't rotate the map anymore?
I find a bit weird to scrap 3D town views whereas the whole game is in 3D. why? because it takes too long to load? or because you spend little time in the town?
the devs of crysis could have come with the same excuses. well, since most of the time you will be too busy fighting to take a look at your environment, we decided to not give a damn about it. moreover that way, the game experiences no slowdowns, which could have been annoying.
the biggest flaw there may be so far is if the water elemental and spring spirit are similar creatures. well ok, before we had the dungeon and sylvan dragons that were similar too, but still...
some other creatures choices are weird, especially the maniac, but can't say it's really a flaw

If I'm not mistaken, you can rotate the map but it will go back to the original position if you release the mouse.

Great! A complaining thread! So,here's my list of "bad" things Heroes 6 will have:
1-2d Town Screen is sometimes better than 3d(if you design it well,eg.Heroes 3 has the best town screens of the series.),but the lack of design from Black Hole makes it a damn regress.
2-Sanctuary units design looks like an alternate version of Warcraft nagas.Buildings and towns look great but units have soo many problems!I would like in the first place a hindu naga faction,cos' it is more real if you ask me.Nagini(female nagas),I would like them 3d versions of H3 ones while Nagas(male) 4 handed instead of 6. Also,a sea faction like this lacks alot of famous marine creatures.Yuki-Onna can be an upgrade of Mizu-Kami,though it needs a far-better design.Shark Warriors are hilarious,while the Kappa/Kappa Shoya is one of the few units I like from actual design(together with Kenshi/Kensei).
3-No "real" dragons are presented in Heroes 6,exept from the Kirin,wich is not "traditional" dragon.
4-5 brothers and sisters being rulers of 5 different factions is a bit strange.Ok,I understand Anton,Anastasya and Sandor's stories,but Kiril...lol...He joined demons??We might had Kiril as a Naga hero together with Irina,both trying to reveal what's behind the murder of their sister,but what will Kiril discover by accompaining a fallen angel to hell?
5-Angel lore looks damn strange on Heroes 6.Aren't angels supposed to be spirits of humans who did many good things on earth?Read Michael's story(I will deal with his name later),BORN IN A FAMILY OF HEALER ANGELS????????????????????????Strange!The classic Angel and Archangel are also removed,for the poorly-designed(and named) Seraph and Celestial.
6-Archangel Michael is maybe the most wierd character ingame.First of all,BORN IN A FAMILY OF ANGEL HEALER ANGELS?????????????????????????????????Tha's wierd cos' I said it that Angels can't be a race of their own.Second HEALER ANGELS,aren't angels supposed never to be sick?Finally,his name Michael idn't they had more fantasy on choosing names?Lol Michael,the great archangel???

I couldn't agree more. I'm starting to dislike H3 just because of all those fanatic comments around the net.
Regarding H6: no town screens is my only real complaint; all the rest looks amazing!

About this... the faction we have are:
Haven; Necropolis; Inferno; Sanctuary; Stronghold.
They only removed one dragon, the Bone Dragon, which was the lamest one of any HoMM game. So I think it's a bit too soon to say "they took away all the dragons".

There are three major Arch Angels in the bible.
Michael, or who's like God? Is the Archangel of War and fits very well into such a game with the common intrepetation of war.
The other two are Gabriel, Archangel of Death and Raphael, the less known one, which I as well can't remember what he's Archangel of. Probably post/mails or something.

Let's continue this thread and make it what it's oughta be!
I would propose that we see this thread as "what we would like to see in H6, which is not present in it in the present state" - no hate, no defending the project, simply, if we want to rant/whine, let us! DO NOT tell "well they're trying their best..." etc. Maybe our rants will reach someone who can do someting about them. Let us put our constructive criticizm into words: my first Q/rant,
-Why cerberus has only TWO HEADS? Whatr was wrong with a hellhund changing into a REAL cerberus? That's one of the things I'll be personally dissappointed if I see it in the final version (I'll buy it anyway), I won't even talk about my favourite hydras or titans... (maybe I'll find them in an expantion 
-I know quite a few people in real life who are also fans of the franchise, but when asked, NONE of them know how the "original" H3 could be translated into proper 3d, without loosing it's incredible climat and atmosphere.. So, if any of you (/me) HoMM3 fans know what could be done to go back to this "golden age", by all means, SCREAM! (don't flame) tell what you hope H6 will be! Don't take whatever Ubihole gives you (even if their projec is good), tell others how you feel!
I conclude my statement with this message.

I think for most people H3 is about nostalgia. The sound you hear when you pick up recourses, the music, the visuals. Gameplay is also good, but in no way perfect. There are also major balancing issues with the factions as well as the spell system. Also minor details bugging you all the time (like having to buy every creature separately in every castle every week being one of many time consuming irritations).
I guess what I'm complaining about actually turned out to be H3. After playing H5 I couldn't go back. Not that H5 was so amazing, it had it's faults as well. But at least some of the mistakes were corrected, while others arose. Now that we've got even more information about H6 I'm having trouble playing H5 again. Funny how it works. H4 actually brought me back to H3 again, so it's not always this way

I think they should keep at least the black dragon and the bone dragon. the bone dragon doesn't have to be a weakling, it was actually pretty scary in H4.
but if they are created by necromancers, it is a bit weird to have them as neutral creatures.

But that depends on how you understand the idea of neutral creatures.
If bone dragons only were hireable, by putting dragons in the skeleton transformer, I'd say it makes good sense they're not per se a town creature, because you need to get these dragons from some other town.

Ever occurred to you that nobody is nostalgic about something bad?
And besides, this "it's all Heroes III fault" nonsense is getting more and more hackneyed. Time for some new "people dwell in the past" whining I say!

Too many tattoos.
Most of the "female" momster units' faces aren't monstrous enough.
The models look crappy compared to the artwork OR vice versa.
