I like the changes to external dwellings. Any news if they also plan to change architect 1 ? This skill is an overkill with champion/elite dwellings and it is so easy to get it on all your side heroes. Maybe the bonus should not stack ? or work only for core dwellings.

My highlights:
- The 44 hero limit is gone!
- building cost requirements rebalanced, elite and champion dwellings have been made cheaper.
- Convertion more expensive.
- External dwelling growth reduced.
- The useless fire vulnerability from chill and freeze has turned into a might vulnerability.
- Spirit form has been limited to 2 turns.
- Counterstrike III only affects the first retaliation of a creature.
- The Blazing Glory’s ability to dispel is now an active ability, which does not consume the turn, 3 turns cooldown.
- Dreamreaver has both basic and mass “Sky and Earth.
- You may choose not to return with units that have strike and return.
- Duel Mode armies have been modified to match the new creature growth values and to propose 1 Might army and 1 Magic army.
- Inferno unit luck decreased.
- Kirin growth reduced to 1 with a slight boost as compensation.

Since there are no sim turns  , can I have a small suggestion?
- When I am presented with the level up window and granted 1 skill point, I woud like a button on that window that brings me directly to the skill allocation window. In this way I do not have to -> close that window -> open hero -> open skills.
Thank you.

Apart from the fact that it seems pretty late now to make suggestions, especially when the devs asked people to make suggestions fpr 1.6/1.7 a couple of months ago - you DO know, of course, that you can customize the UI, right? That when you have the skill window open for a hero, you can click-and drag the button in the top left corner to one of the ten slots above the end-turn/action buttons to have easy access from the adventure map without clicking on the hero?
Not the same, of course, but still faster.

Please enlighten me, but does that mean that basic version will be stronger then mass version (damage/buff amount versus one unit of course). Only then this makes sense...

Thanks for the info.
At last my own archers won't kill my units anymore! I wonder if the special ability one of the heroes that makes Marksmen deal no friendly damage has been changed. Not that it matters a lot, though.
Regarding Blazing Glories: The ones that died from using Searing Light will be resurrected after combat and they can also be resurrected in combat? Is that correct?
Overall, I like it. I hope they take the time they need to QA it correctly and avoid introducing new serious bugs.

To tell you the truth I didn't notice it. My bad . Then again if AI would use this ability I would probably noticed it (because in battles with neutrals you often fight basic and upgraded ones). It makes sense of course that it's stronger, but I didn't look into it before...

So if i get it right, Cerberi still have 22 Luck, Maniacs 16, Lilim 18, Ravager 12, Lacerator 10 and Pit Lords 9. right?
so many patchnotes. given the history of Heroes 6 patching, every new patch introduces new bugs. and this patch has a lot of capability for a lot of new bugs. just saying.
i hope i'll be shown to be wrong.

i hope they seriously think some of these. half of them are bugs and the other suggestions that can be easily get materialized in the game.
-the combat sound still gets affected by combat speed. the normal combat sound is when combat speed is set to zero which is too low. also some visualizations do not follow up the combat speed(showing damage before effect that caused it).
-wanizame's blood frenzy does not work.
-tactics during sieges is broken (cannot rearrange large creatures).
-implement the new content into the campaigns(new artifacts, new buildings, new heroes in taverns, new heroes used by the AI).
-implement the new portraits in hero creation(both in dynasty hero creation and in the custom hero creation in the campaigns).
-make the AI use the dive skill for imperial griffins and the shaman special skills.
-make a sub menu for the heroes we have purchased categorizing them by faction in the dynasty menu.
-the crubicle of chaos does not work as described, it works like normal market. Fix or change of the description recommended.
-if a secondary hero has artifacts on him/her while finishing a campaign map, the effects from those items carry on to the next map. you have to unequip them in order for the hero to not have extra bonuses from before.
-revert the staff of Asha's eightfold to its previous state. its change was requested by one user only. the rest of us liked it like before.
-breeder mothers do not need the mobile shooter attribute. they have proliferation (like free reinforcemets). you can give them full range though.
-make the fireball area of damage back to 3x3. the current size is too big and makes firestorm obsolete. the latter does less damage for almost the same size area now.
-blizzard cannot be casted if there is an obsticle in the area and it cannot be casted in the same area as before.
-revert the serpahs and celestials abilities to normal (seraphs should have blade of mercy[1 charge] and celestials blade of epiphany[2 charges].
-balance the stronghold faction. it's overpowered in terms of might damage.
-the pit fiends can be affected by puppet master although their description says otherwise.
-the mizu kamis and spring spirits do not have the soaking strike.
-the shirne of chivalry and the shrine of the frozen pearl give their bonuses for one battle. in the description its says that the shrines give bonus for one week.
-tweak the difficulty levels! too easy even on hard.
-web altar of wishes fails to load. and the new dynasty weapons do not display on the soulforge.

Still 1 click slower than a button on the window that does not do much aside informing you that you just got a skill point to allocate.
I do not find it too late, since I filled this and many, many other requests and bugs on the official forums ~1 year ago. With ZERO feedback.
I do know about shortcuts (great feature btw) I filed already 2-3 bugs concerning them  . I use them only for main hero. When you have 2-3 secondary heroes... no shortcuts for them.
I just hope they have time to add this for the expansion.

Some have already been fixed like the tactics bug or seraph/celestial abilities. Others were never bugged to begin with - for instance cleave on retaliations gives the extra action on the unit's next turn. And breeders absolutely needed mobile shooter.

But some of the luck values are lower than they were before... maybe keeping it in the middle would have worked out better? (Only a 50% boost instead of 100) IDK... seems sort of strange that Lacerators now have less luck than ever.

Yeah in the 18th century, two inventions suggested a method of measurement. One won and the other stayed in America.

you mean mentioned in 1.8 or fixed for real? i will check in a while.
as for mother breeders i think proliferation and a full range attack would make more sense for this obesse, slow movign creature, than mobile shooter. they have good attack and with full range and inferno's luck they could do realy well. plus proliferation is one of the coolest abilities. but it's a minor thing. i would rather see the new content in the "old" campaigns.

Well, for Luck as a racial Core creature luck is more important than Elite or Champion. That was the only rationale behind increasing Luck. Inferno as a creature faction isn't weaker, especially not after all Elites got massive boosts.
