I LOVE it but wish they based it on some mythological creature and didn't just make stuff up. Would prefer if it was called Salamander or something.

so academy line-up
Core: Cabir, Gargoyle, Golem
Elite: Djinn, Rakshasa, Mage
Champion: Titan, Bird
Haven
Core: Crossbowman, Guard, Wolf
Elite: Horseman, Priest, Griffin???
Champion: Seraph, Generic Sword Guy
Good work there finding the icons guys!
In the past I didn't really like Academy, but so far it seems pretty cool in H7. Might become one of my new favourites.
For the most part the Haven line-up is great, but that there is no female angel or at least a priestess makes me sadder than I thought it would. 
I guess my Heroes 6 ladies somehow grew on me.

our good old OCD "creative" director, Erwin, went to great pains to say "I want no gremlins or hobbits or leprechauns in Ashan as long as I live" in H6 interviews
so this cabir thing is the most convoluted way possible of bringing back the gremlin, while keeping Erwin's party line intact
pretty much the same scenario as the "no mercury, no sulfur" crap

OMG this just struck me
They just took the Clash of heroes line-up for Academy and replaced one magic human with a gargoyle
And the Haven line-up looks like the same cace, change one melee human for a wolf, they there is even the big sword guy!!
I noticed thatr myself as well.
Wanna bet Necro is along the same lines as well?

I said the same thing to Valen-Teen yesterday. The connection between Cabeiri and Cabir, other than writing, is exceptionally far-fected.

Well necro has some more options.
Dead knights, Vampires, Liches, Lamasu, Mumy for Elite.
Skeleton, Ghost, Ghoul, Zombie for core.
Namtarru, Banshee, Dragons for Champion.
And even something new can appear..
I truly don't know what to expect from Necro.

First of all, great job finding those icons! 
I can't say much that hasn't already been said, but I really like the direction Academy has gone. I do hope they use the dervish design for a hero class though, they really suit the Academy theme.
Haven definitely looks better than its Heroes 6 counterpart. Though some units feel a bit generic. I wonder what the last unit will be, either the griffin hasn't been uploaded yet or it's something else entirely.

Haven description, MM7 official site.
"Mounted knights make up the Empire's heavy shock troops, supported by heavy infantry and missile weapons. The Empire can also count on the support of mythical creatures, such as Angels and Griffins."
There s no doubt about griffins presence.

If I'll get Vampires, Liches, Death Knights and Banshees with this Heroes game I'll be the happiest Stevie ever. And insta pre-purchase when it's out.

Lol there is more connection with the worm-virus that was named Cabir than with this mythology creature which has absolutly NOTHING to do with fire and lizards whatsoever.
OMG ya'll the Cabir is just a computer virus, pixelized into a creature, but on every computer this worm-virus unit will dig up important data and send that back to Ubisoft so that they get rich again behind our backs.
It's a cult!
