In my little community of online players , I m regarded as quite good. Why ? because I use and abuse  of what u guyz call chaining. I knwo where to place secondary heroes so that the chains possibilities are optimal, I enjoy the thinking ahead that is somewhat involved. More than once , we have replayed some of my friend's defeat reverting roles to change defeat to victory using different chaining arrangements.
So what i mean to say is that I understand Salamander's point of view and his attachement to chaining. that being said.... it is artificial. Let 's face it , even so it is tactical , it feels out of place...I really appreciate the idea of removing chaining from valid tactics and move on to something new.I find Heroes6 new directions more interresting.The developpement of the Empire vs a strange chain of stupid secondaries

As I see it , it s pretty much the same as the chaining btw !
You have to think in terms of nodes , of places of interrest in your chain . Before u had to have secondaries to occupy those nodes. Now it s the cities. Each city having a different potential in term of access to the global pool of reinforcement depending on the city buildings.

So U lose the artificial creeping tough
Now u have to think in term of zone of control and empire extension. A fully-build castle is a strong node to gain or to lose because of the acces it has to the 'defending pool' while a  lesser town is easier to capture but only ensure a weak temporary control over a zone.In some sense it feels more like go or chess.
This is indeed a revolution in heroes tactics imho , one that we can not really explore with only one hotseat map... u might not be as enthousiastic as I am but comon please admit this is worth a try !

My point is , if u are really good MP gamer , then try to adapt and see how it feels !
This is basically what I have beeen trying to say, but better.
