*New GUI button 'Boot with indicating movement' in battle (This mysterious button is only present during one of the images. Probably because it's newer than the others? I'm sure somebody can guess the function of this unlike me. I'm very exited as to what this button does!)
Not really a wild guess, as I'm almost certain the button lets you switch between melee fighting and shooting (obviously, works only for shooters). Can be wrong, though.
Now I see that the Boot button cannot be the switch between melee and shooting because in the other screenshot it's the cyclops turn, but the button does not appear! So I guess the boot button lets you save/accumulate movement for the unit's next turn in battle, which could also explain why the slowed magog has normal speed.
What do you think, folks?

@culgil
Slow can be countered with artifacts actually. What is more interesting is Attack and Defence of magogs. Notice that the hero has 5 attack and 7 defence, but magos has +3 attack and +3 defence - maybe enemy hero has some artifacts that lower enemy stats?
That boot icon most probably allows shooter to move and attack instead of shooting, which would be great, especially when doing banks  .

Hey, Fenix, you are right about artifacts and primary attributes.
And I also thought the boot icon would allow shooters to move and attack. It sounded very natural and would indeed be a very useful change!
BUT, why does the boot icon not appear in the following screenshot, although a shooter (cyclops) is selected?

The cyclops would'nt be able to reach the enemy that turn, that might be why the boot does'nt appear?
It's cool if ranged units can choose to go melee, that would add to the strategic possibilities.

It seems to me that they have reworked the old interface to find extra space to permanently show an additional icon. They might have only showed the boot in a single image to make it like an Easter egg for us to find, I suppose. Or just to baffle us a little. But we'll know soon enough, of course.

Ya, the vampire and the wraith doesn't look good compared to all the other heroes .-.

Well, the way I see it, the Necromancer hero model is the only one that represents an actual unit of the game. I suppose that we can only speculate as to the reasons behind how it came to be so. Maybe it was just appropriate. Who knows. But now by depicting the male Necromancer as a Vampire, I feel that the crew is adapting/legitimizing this uniqueness. I personally find it very fitting. But that's just me.

Skeletal horses would be really cool, instead of white horses.
That opens up for other mounts too, Stronghold heroes on wolves, Fortress heroes on gorgons, Inferno heroes on cerberi etc...

i agree. not only because necropolis is my favorite faction, either.
@ phoenix: i have thought the same thing.

Inferno heroes on nightmares would be better.Maybe undead heroes on skeletal horses,fortress heroes on gorgons,rampart heroes on unicorns,stronghold heroes on wolves,dungeon heroes on bulls(Like the first picture of overlord).It would be fun to see heroes on those creatures.

And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
And Hell followed with him.
Nah. White horses for Necromancers are just fine.

@culgil That screenshot might have been made using an earlier revision, before the "boot functionality" got implemented.

But the female is a wraith, which IMO doesn't really work since the three hero races are humans, vampires and lichs.

Yes Rampart heroes on unicorns, of course. Nightmares would perhaps fit Inferno better, but then we also need a Nightmare unit imo, it could be a neutral lvl. 6 unit with some unique ability(ies). Bulls for Dungeon hmm I don't know, I don't really think it fits, I know minotaurs kinda resembles bulls but still...
I feel like Tower should have something special, but don't know what it could be.

I don't think that fair lady is a wraith mate, she's a lich, wraiths don't have legs lol

1.5 looks stunning and I can't wait to play it, I really enjoy a lot all the additional content Hota provides but new towns is the really hot stuff. Cove is fantastic and yet new towns of this level of quality within Hota mechanics would surely be outstanding, but I can't complain, we are already getting spoiled a lot with this project.
I recall at some point there was some rumour about a collaboration with author of Oasis town for VCMI, Nephretes, but I also recall it sadly didn't work out for reasons I do not know.
Your best bet is waiting for VCMI, since it's implementing cove IIRC you will be able to have cove and oasis at the same time, just not with HotA.
