Great stuff!
Two things I take from this:
- English voice acting for the campaign videos (maybe also retroactively for the older campaigns)
- finally we know how Dargem could possibly die twice during the different HotA campaigns
Can't wait! ...and also hoping for the Steel Golem to finally get the home he deserves.
Thanks for continuing your amazing work!

The graphic is getting better and better every year. I genuinely thought that was Jack Sparrow in the cutscene lol.

New information regarding Hota is alwayes welcome. Best mod I have ever played. So happy that development copntinues. To be honest I'm kinda suprised that we are going to have another campaign? I thought that after Factory its going to be break for few years. Cutscene looks great. Another campaign is really cool news.
I hope for more changes in game itself in next version - more changes to balance like buff useless secondary skills, maybe balance magic system more. Add some new objects / arts / banks to make game feel more fresh. At least that is what I hope to see in next update.
Excited to hear more about next update.

Still really enjoying playing the Factory, cool to see we're most likely receiving a update during the end of the year! It appears to be a new campaign, but perhaps that's not the only content we will receive?  *crosses fingers for potential skill changes*

From reddit:

Also I think this patch will include secondary skill balance. Source: I decyphered a cryptic message and asked Hota crew about it and Tevye said I may be up to something, which is developer for you're correct.
Cezaros said:
Watch the video again but assume Hota crew are trying to say something.
Each additional flavour sentence in the text includes a name of a weak secondary skill. All of them are mentioned, while no strong skills appear.
Do you see it?

So what I get from this is Sorcery, Luck, Artillery, Eagle Eye, Scholar, Ballistics and Learning will finally receive some much needed buffs. (Possibly also First Aid, even though it received a very weak buff with last update...)

We can also read the word ‘navigator’ which would hint to navigation although I don't think that this skill necessarily needs a buff. It's situational but when it's useful it already is a good skill.

Yes, but Dargem is also a navigator, so it does'nt necessarily mean anything.
Besides Navigation is already pretty decent, depending on map, as you said.
Same with Pathfinding I suppose, even though it gets ruined by Fly, Wayfarer's Boots, native terrain etc.

What a fun way to announce it. Too good not to be true.

Even if it wasn't the case, now they have to do it I guess.

I know Cove has been out for a long time, but Leena and Elmore have always bothered me.
Leena starts with 350 gold + Estates, making her the hero that makes the most gold from day 1.
Elmore has Advanced Navigation + Navigation specialty, making him extremely good on water maps.
I wish Leena did not have Estates. Give that to some other Cove hero, then Cove would also have 2 gold heroes instead of relying so much on Leena. (She can practically make or break the game for Cove.)
Elmore should also only start with Basic Navigation, not to have such a huge advantage.
So a small revision of skills, between the Cove heroes, would be welcome imo.

You can start with Leena or Elmore if you wish, but I recommend to start with a random hero and don't reload after this. You are allowed to reload only to get some sleep. Believe me, this will be a different game with no boots beating Expert Pathfinding 
As I always say, Heroes is not about balance in every party, it's a game balanced on a way larger scale.
Btw, I'm not joking here. You can calculate probabilities and you will see that probability to get Expert Pathfinding is greater than to get boots. Also the probability to get Angel's Wings is smaller than to learn Fly.

I always pick random starting hero. (VS AI)
It is still very possible to get Leena and/or Elmore in tavern later though.
You can't really make that artifact calculation, as you have no idea how many artifacts are on the map and which class they are. IF you get Angel Wings, it is also MUCH better than Fly, since it does'nt cost any mana and it works as Expert Fly!
I can accept Wayfarer's Boots, though it is a bit lame they ruin Pathfinding, but Angel Wings are too much imo.

Definitely something fishy going on with all those skills.
The voice actor also sounds like Rhapsody the youtuber, who I'm unaware as doing anything Heroes related, but it is basically identical to his voice.

I am probably asking a wall here, but does anyone know why the classes chances for learning Resistance and Interference are not the same, if Interference was supposed to replace Resistance?
It is one of the reasons I use Resistance and not Interference, since HotA messes up skill probabilities...
