Why would the absence of a mandatory flyer be awkward for Haven?
H1 + 2 Castle had no flyers.
H3 had 2 flyers
H4 had 1 flyer, OPTIONAL
H5 had 2, same as the 3rd game
H6 was really the only one that broke the mold, having a strong set of 3 flyers. But historically, Castle/Haven's rarely been about flying shock troops... its priorities have always been defense.
I'm not saying the Watcher won't be some sort of flying steed rider... or perhaps a lower Angel form. I just don't understand why the absence of a mandatory flyer warps the Haven's identity.

Yeah, silly me. For some reason H6 haven doesn't quite register as haven in my mind.
Ohh for god sake, tell us already  . Is she riding some flying creature?

I get the feeling that his must be a wonderful time for Elvin. He can throw in some teasers from time to time and then watch all the different sane and insane discussions and speculations from us...

Finally added warfare units:
Waiting for new factions and names to upgraded creatures.
WOW  Haven's line-up is ten times better than the h6 one. Maybe they learned from their mistakes. One pic made me more intrigued about H7 than the whole h6 artwork did. Maybe there's hope for the franchise after all. The academy looks epic too, I hope Necropolis won't a such a big disappointment like it was in H6...

Maybe ranged

It's just me or does H7 (so far) has a nostalgic feel? It remembers me of NWC heroes game... The adventure map looks more h4 like, the battlefields remind me of h3, no cartoony h5-like look and not the exaggerated 3d graphics of h6.

I liked the whole heroes 6 holy light faction.
But I equally like the new wolf duchy unit design. Just look at my name an profile picture. I love that the wolf is in a cool faction line-up
Although I will miss the griffin, at least we got an interesting looking female unit for it.
Now I have the option of playing two rather different havens which I both like.

I think you seem to have forgotten there are also warfare units which I have no idea what they are but that some of the critters seen might be among them (potentially adventure map dwellings?)

The real question is whether there will be a lot of variation between the warfare units. It's hard to discern what purposes the two pyramids have, but I hope they're not just copies of the ballista and catapult.
I reckon the giant pyramid is the siege unit, I mean each faction has to have at least one. But the smaller pyramid, how disappointing it would be if it just shot lasers at other units.
It'd be nice if it acted as a mana pool of some sort. Or something that truly serves the Academy's warfare tactics.
And that brings us to the Priestess VS Tent. Healer units, but to what extent? I'd like it if you can buy more than one Priestess unit (much like a regular unit and build up a stack) to augment her healing skills... but because Academy isn't known for their healing magic, only one healing tent can be used by an army at any time (and thus, their healing capacity is weaker or capped).

Watchers are boring and the name itself suggests that it shouldn't even be an elite unit.
I'd rather have Griffins over them though. Wolves + Griffins = awesome combination. Watchers are the only replaceable units because the others are kickass.
I wonder why there are no Griffins. We're gonna have the Griffin Duchy in the campaign right?
And Magic Bird is such a lame name. They should rename it to Garuda or Roc.

I hope "Great Pyramid" and "Small Pyramid" aren't the final names. Even something like "Arcane Pyramid" and "Mystic Pyramid" would be better.

People here don't even know what that is. If they would, they'd know that it makes absolutely 0 sense in the current context.
I think that one pyramid is for siege purposes and the other for utility like a force field or some other bonuses to creatures. It might well be shooting lasers but I'd like to think it's not that crude. Bonuses and magic enhancement would be far more interesting than just another shooting unit imo.
