I
Wow, didn't see that one coming. The trailer looks amazing and I am pretty hyped about Academy. I also like the fact, Inferno is not present (so far). Also, darker Haven looks interesting. However, I am very disappointed with the return of 2D town screens (I want 3Ds from H5 back!!!). Sworbearer as champion and new Haven architecture are also bad choices, IMO. And Sylvan VERSUS Fortress is really bad. None of them was in H6, so we should get both in vanilla now.
II
Hard to tell. Back in the days of H3 it was Necropolis. Dungeon and Stronghold in H5 and H6 + Sanctuary.
III
Haven, Necropolis, Academy, Stronghold, Sylvan, Fortress
IV
Sylvan. There was no tranquil, shooting, nature-loving faction.

Has anyone besides me observed that Factions will have 11 creatures, 4 hero classes, and tech trees?

I - Very bad, I see the female centaur back, the horrid color themes and of course the same old stuff... no new things added.
Only 6 starting factions... Haven...
And most horrid of all, Ashan + the dragon gods again.
And I like Demons.
II - HOMM3 Dungeon.
III - Stronghold / Dungeon (without dark elves) / Sylvan / Evil Sorcerers / Evil Forest / Undead
IV - Sylvan, because they probably create 10 dwarf units again, without inspiration.

I have. Though we do not yet know what those tech-trees will entail. Nor do we realy know what warfare units are.

Warfare units are probably just catapults and that kind of boring creatures.
Also one unit is called Magic Bird? Really?
Swordbearer??? Champion Unit? :-O

Of course, it is great. I am mostly excited about 4 classes and tech trees, I really wonder what will they look like. Out of 11 units, 3 are warfare, which are probably War Machines so they are not as exciting.

Not 11, but 8 creatures + war machines.
Things like ballistas, catapults, tents, ammo cart and similar things that were in heroes 3 also i guess

I think it's a reference to early HoMM Paladins. Still, I'm so used to them making it into mid-tier I don't think I will like it.

I think they are also a reference to the Swordmaster units, which were Champions, in the M&M Clash of Heroes game way back.

Id rather have sylvan because forteress' looks too much like Haven. Units squeezing and turtling against each other. Once again, haven and undead are already in the game, and we don't need any more turtling square formation races.

I - It's exciting. Dissapointing in Heroes VI look-like, but cause of H6 fail. Hope that HVII will be the great game.
II - Sylvan
III - Academy, Haven, Stronghold, Necropolis, Sylvan and Dungeon. I think that Ubi know how fans will vote. And this factions set reminds me of Heroes II.
IV - Sylvan *see II*

Our hopes for Heroes VIII!

Ok. After reading everything there was to read, both on the official site and on our HC boards, I think I'm ready to express my opinion. I'll start by answering the topic questions:
I - My early impression is overall mixed, but I spite of that I'm actually optimistic. There are certain aspects that I think will work out very well for the game, like 2 Champions, 4 Hero classes (tho I hope they're not similar to the H6 tears-blood system, but separated classes altogether), warfare units, and my personal favorite of all - tech tree.
II - I've always liked Necromancers, no matter what game they were in. Although I don't really like the direction in which they were taken especially under Ubisoft. Even so, they are my favorites.
III - Vanilla Heroes in my opinion should look like this: Haven, Academy, Stronghold, Necropolis + Sylvan and Sanctuary.
IV - As others have said, both would have been ideal. But since I have to chose, I'll go with Sylvan. I'm not that fond of the "flower sniffers" as some call them, but my brother sure is. And even I am 1% more in favor of them, because between all those races, one more tanking turtle would be too much. We need at least one agile faction.
I might want to reconsider Sanctuary on III, because I hear Dungeon vs Inferno is next. Is that confirmed?

I - I'm very excited since I did not think the series would continue!
II - Sanctuary or Academy, slightly disappointed if the former will be completely ignored in this game and the demons or dwarves won't be but awesome that the latter is back!
III - Sanctuary or Sylvan, although I wouldn't mind Dungeon either, loved that faction in H6.
IV - Sylvan easily, they were missed in H6 and Fortress is the worst faction for me in Ashan. Very curious about the two champion units, maybe the Phoenix can make an in-town comeback?

I - What is your early impression about the new Heroes VII?
Positive, the team has a methodical approach and I like that.
II - What is your favorite Heroes faction?
It changes from title to title but probably academy.
III - Which factions you think should be featured with vanilla Heroes 7?
Haven, Sylvan, Academy, dungeon, stronghold and necropolis. I enjoy inferno but I don't rate it as high as the others and I favour core factions over sanctuary and fortress.
IV - On the first vote, who will you chose between Sylvan and Fortress, and why?
Sylvan. I enjoy fortress but I've missed sylvan more. It's a shame these two were paired, fortress never stood a chance.

I - What is your early impression about the new Heroes VII?
Mixed. There are plenty of everything. plenty of creatures, plenty of classes, plenty of spells... The presentation of H7 looks prematured and the team is very young. I m afraid of this cause they haven t enought experience. Anyway, the game is oriented as a heroes game, rich in background but poor in term of strategy - I would prefer to miss myself, but i hope in returns of caravans.
II - What is your favorite Heroes faction?
No favorite factions. 6 factions is obviously enought.
III - Which factions you think should be featured with vanilla Heroes 7?
Haven, Sylvan, Academy, dungeon, stronghold and necropolis.
IV - On the first vote, who will you chose between Sylvan and Fortress, and why?
I think Forteress is more interesting than Elves.

I - What is your early impression about the new Heroes VII?
So far, it's quite a positive impression. The come-back towards H3/H5 mechanics is a good thing imo and I also like that they actually ask us for our opinion for future choice (which was one of my main gripe with H6). I'm also more confident in Limbic than I've been when it was Nival or Black Hole.
II - What is your favorite Heroes faction?
Tough choice, I'm an all-time Stronghold lover (especially H2/H3) but I also quite like Inferno (H3/H5/H6).
III - Which factions you think should be featured with vanilla Heroes 7?
Haven, Sylvan, Academy, Stronghold, Inferno and Fortress (yeah, I don't like Necropolis  )
IV - On the first vote, who will you chose between Sylvan and Fortress, and why?
I voted Sylvan because I like fluffy pink unicorns, rainbow sprites and arrogant elves over long-bearded beer drinking dwarves  Nah seriously, it's a tough choice as I like both factions, but I chose the Elves because they've been one of the 4 first factions in Heroes and they deserve to be in a game again

I - What is your early impression about the new Heroes VII?
Very excited. I hope they go back to making semi-interactive 3D town screens like in 5. I'm glad that King and Romero are back, as well as 6 types of resources. 6 vanilla factions is a good number, but the one thing I hope they'd prioritize this time is to release a vanilla game free of bugs (or clear most of them).
II - What is your favorite Heroes faction?
Sylvan/Sorceress since the first game, baby. I had to supplement Sylvan with the Sanctuary on the 6th game, but it just wasn't the same.
III - Which factions you think should be featured with vanilla Heroes 7?
Can't say much about the four revealed... To round them up, Sylvan and... either Dungeon or Sanctuary would be fine with me. I LOVE the Sanctuary, but I feel like the inclusion of Dungeon would balance out the first 6 factions in terms of traditional alignment.
IV - On the first vote, who will you chose between Sylvan and Fortress, and why?
As a Sylvan loyalist, there is no contest here. I wonder if that druidess on the official site is a unit? With a rad design as that, I'd hope so.

1 - mixed feelings. Limbic's resume doesn't impress me at all, the game is once again in the hands that may or may not have the competence required to program the game correctly. However, so far, they seem to be blending together the good from old versions with the good of H6, which is good.
2 - All factions with replay value are fun. The more static ones like undead and haven, not so.
3 - all except haven, undead and forteress.
4 - Sylvan, haven and undead are already tough and slow races in, we dont need a third one of it's kind. Besides, the dwarf faction with only dwarves in it lacked in imagination. Only dwarves, I mean come on... lol.

I really hope they're not replacing those kickass Druids from H5 with that stupid-looking Druidess. If this is gonna turn into another political correctness like H6 was, I will not buy this game.

I pity you never actually follow through with all your "threats", no?
