Hehe  It's just a walker, nothing spectacular.
But, but, but, why tease us with this unit so much..... She can still be a walker and riding something like a wolf, so is she a walker using here own legs?
Ohh man, I request someone (alcibiades?) remove the mod status of Elvin and ban him for one day for torturing us.

it doesn't make sense for Walkers to be magic(because we have priests), and it doesnt make sense as fighting melee(since we have praetorians/swordbearer- however if the player chooses building seraph over swordbearers, it would make sense having an elite melee troop

So no chance for redeeming of Glories? Eh... I'll survive  .
Talking about Academy. I suppose that "mage" will be one of the core units among gargoyles and cabir. In that case we would have three different types of units in core and elite army. Representants of three houses - "Magic" (enchanted), Beasts and "mechanical".
Core
Cabir - "Beast"
Gargoyle - "Mechanical"
Adept/Disciple - "Magical"
Elite
Rakshasa - "Beast"
Golem - "Mechanical"
Djinn - "Magical"

If the Sylvan elves win over Fortress Dwarves (Which sadly I have no doubt about)
And if the Dungeon elves win over Inferno Demons (Which I have absolutly no doubt about)
Gues what line-up we will end up with?
You got it H2 line-up. The best lineup there ever was :-P. And That would make me happy for a change.
I agree on this, even if I voted Fortress. H2 factions was all-around excellent, and I would be very happy to see it again after so many years

Good catch, Darkem. Mages were rated stronger in previous Heroes, but this time they are called Disciples, so they can't be that strong.

Sounds reasonable
If we apply the same logic to Haven, are we then so sure the praetorians are core? Wouldn't the following order be more logical:
Core
Wolf - "melee, offensive"
X-bow - "ranged"
Watcher - "magic"
Elite
Praetorian - "melee, defensive"
Chaplain - "magic"
Horseman - "melee, offensive"

Enough with the golems being elite. Christ. Putting them as elite would make the lineup as asymmetrical as if they weren't placed there.
I.e. two elite ground units? Two ranged/support core?
Academy's history, at least from 3 to 5, has only been symmetrical (more or less) based on unit roles, not aesthetics.
Even when not symettrical aesthetically, as can be argued was the case with H2 lineup, their focus was ranged superiority, not a solid ground melee core.

if you ask me, as a magic faction, Academy should have two magic creatures in elite instead of one.
Would be great if both Disciple creature are wearing Turban. I just want Academy to be an all-out Arabic feel.
Hey guys, what do you think are the four heroes in Academy?
I'd love an all-magic heroes with different gameplay.
1. Sorcerer - focus on magic mirrors, mana regeneration and destructive magic
2. Wizard - focus on summoning magic, huge mana pool and learning as much spells as he can
3. Alchemist - focus on potions he can throw to opponents or buff his opponents that could give different gains
4. Engineer - build titans and golems and enchant unit items.

Haha, I've had a nostalgia attack, so I've launched Heroes 6 after a loooong time to play some random map. The game crashed after loading the map...
Pretty much says everything...

I really hope golems will be core and gargoyles elite. Golems should be the legion on which the academy armies shoud be based on.
And weren't gargoyles magic type units in DoC? That would made 2 elite units magic type.

Lmao indeed. Too funny because I decided to continue the haven campaign (only one I haven't cleared) and the game crashed within seconds lol. Well maybe not seconds but defn after the first cut scene.
Also, those stronghold and necro units, I'm assuming artwork taken from the card game? I mean, define "possible".
