Well, thanks for the new screen captures guys, the game looks great until now, especially with that Academy town in the sand. We await more

And... Reused assets... as expected... (tree of life anybody)
I'm not to bummed about that. As I said ealier, the visuals were one of the few things done right last time.
Things are plenty different for me, from what I can see.
Also, let's talk about the new resources. We got Gold, Wood & Ore. We got Blood Crystals. Those Dark Purpley bars, I'm betting that's Shadow Steel, on account of it fitting the description in the Compendium. Which leaves us 2 more resources. Any thoughts?
Edit: Star Silver is a good guess, Dave.

If we would use the "Original" Resources that Ashan has to offer. We have the 7 Crystalized dragon Blood types. Starsilver, Shadowsteel and Flamegold.. Any other I might have missed?

The graphics look nice, although some objects appear to have been reused from Heroes 6. The UI also looks a lot like Heroes 6. Thankfully they brought back the other rare resources! Judging by the scale, hey seem so be going for a more map like feel like the 2D games as opposed to the landscape feel the other 3D ones had (look at how big the Hero is compared to the buildings), which is something we discussed in the other thread. I think this is a good thing.

Tears of Asha, which are differnt from Blood Crystals.
But the Blood Crystals, other than elemental differences aren't that dissimilar. With perhaps the exception of Chaos Shards, but they don't match the artwork of the resources shown. I think Blood Crystals in general is just one resource.

I see that the Adventure Map is rather different, in a good way I think, because it looks more like a 2D or 2.5D Map, which for a Heroes game is pretty good

very good idea. I'd rather have it 4 vs 4 than 6 vs 2 though.

It would be 6 vs. 3. Remember the Griffin Duchy is fighting the Stag Duchy in this. And we don't know on which side the other Duchies fight, though the Units look a lot like Wolf Duchy troops.

It also looks like area of control will be back. There is a fort icon on the minimap and the middle button next to it seems to be the toggle button to view the areas of control on the minimap.

Also elvin, if you are here, can you now answer some questions?
-when did they start to work on heroes 7 (or when did you get involved with h7)
-how do you feel about heroes 7 direction, and to what is it more close, heroes 5, h6, h4?
Not sure exactly but Limbic has been on it for some time. Not long enough for the game to be almost ready nor short enough that they haven't worked out what the game will look or play like. There is still much to be done but I feel they have made some very good decisions. If anything there is a vision behind this game, a sense of prioritization and clearly defined game mechanics. I don't know how it will all work out in the end but the signs are good and the potential is there: A solid base that can be easily expanded upon.
I'd say it's closer to H5 but regardless of how they turned out, they all had some good features worth returning. And the same features in a different game can prove a whole different experience

My thoughts:
1. I'm 90% sure it's the same engine that in Heroes VI or at least it looks that way (look at some models: Stables, or Crypt are practically identical, even the icons on the minimap are the same. Oh and there are those angel statues in the horizon), which is good cus' it means I won't have to upgrade my PC.
2. What the heck are Cabirs? Something like an Arabian Gremlin probably...
3. Ivan has a voice like Jeff Bridges
4. Units recycled from Heroes VI concepts (gimmie a Rakshasa!)
5. 6 factions? Not enough, I want moar! Gimmie eight!
6. I would call Heavens art style "savage", which is ok with me
PS: I can translate to you from Tawerna.biz that the screenshot that some of you thought presents a Heaven's townscreen is actually a screenshot of an Adventure Map. It's officially confirmed by Ubisoft, though they say the in-game camera won't have such an angle, the angle on the screen was used for the purpose of presentation. The Academy artwork shows the town screen without added animations and VFX (2D townscreens?)

Thank you, although that was already confirmed by Dexter some pages ago

One would assume they are the predecessors of the Gremlins. Gremlins being lizardlike and the fusion of Goblins and something else.
In real life? Cabir is a smartphone virus, but that's about all I can find that makes any sense.

About Cabirs
Have you read that? It makes little sense. The only thing that comes close is the possibility that they were the sons of Hepheastos, and the Lizardthings in question seem to carry tools. This is a bit far fetched.
But it's still more then I could come up with.
