I know 
I really hope this isn't true, or that it can be turned off for a match.
Pretty cool city otherwise.

Townscreen as presented on blog seams fine to me, but enlarged version (when you click on picture) have too much empty space on the bottom and on the sides.

Yeah... why this crap again? Also why Grail building is recycled from H6 too (Town Hall upgrade)?
Overall Academy buildings seems fine but Town Portal and Grail structure are huge minus for H7 towns.
Oh, and where are citizents?
*sigh* Without them any town looks like a ghost town, not like a capitol of powerful nation.

What I like:
- Numerous buildings that are not creature related
What I dislike:
- No additional houses that are just part of the scenery, with more appearing at higher town levels
- Some buildings don't fit very well in the background
- Placement of some buildings is a bit strange (mage guild should be near arcane library, resource silo should be near marketplace)
- How do they even travel between buildings?! Look for example at the marketplace: the stairs just end, being cut off. They should have bridges or at least small teleporters.

Well, at least the Grail building isn't a huge Dragon God taking 50% of the screen, lol.

On Heroes VII site says that the right spell is needed to teleport to town, not just portal, so it's not like in Heroes VI

Hello guys,
it seems that there is a need for more explanation on this topic:
in Heroes VII we decided not to keep H6 town portal system. The town portal only allows you to be teleported to this town if you hero have the right spell for this. However, like it was on previous games, this spell only can teleport you to the nearest town! You CAN'T teleport from one city to another by magic.

That way teleporting heroes will be much better in Heroes VII than in previous versions

Ekhm... in both HoMM2 and HoMM3 you could teleport to chosen town, without need of any building.
You only need:
a) right spell in HoMM2 there were two: Town Gate (teleport to nearest town) and Town Portal (teleport to town chosen from list)
or b) Mastery in Earth Magic - HoMM3
You needn't any building like in HoMM6.
However HoMM7 seems to be improvement over HoMM6, if we really will get spell to use, instead of building.

Thanks.  It seems like some can't read, as it said on the blog you need a spell. But great that you took the time to clarify it to them either way.

Ah, that's better, much better. Kinda H4 system but for all heroes but with an extra requirement (building in each town). As long as it isn't expensive, sounds fair.

Must say I love what we have seen from H VII Townscreens. They are in the tradition of the good old ones like HoMM III. I'm happy they are both informative, charming and beautyfull, and not cluttered with all kind of uselessness like too many civilian houses all over the Place, or other details taking away the attention from the details that matters.

And regarding teleport. Nerfing teleport as much as possible is very welcomed. That was the ultimate factor in the old games for the just one mega army needed syndrom, and when that is dead you are dead.

Looks like H5 system of town portal then, but at first glance looks even more restrictive, since you need allso the building ....
my guess is description will say like something: "Teleport your hero to nearest town with town portal."
Which means that one cannot teleport to towns that do not have building built, so then if for eg., you have it built in capital, but not in town next to your hero, you will teleport to capital instead, even if it's NOT the "closest" town ... It's the closest one with town portal tho...
This is interasting as you have some control over where you will teleport, and which town you will protect. I immagine it would be good thing to build it also in some far away town, right before enemy captures it (like if you know town will fall next day), so he is then unable to teleport to his capital.
In other words - I like it

That's the only option that will save this from being a complete disaster imo.
So looks like this is indeed the actual Academy Town Screen. Not sure if I'm enamoured with it or not, but it's not a complete disaster. Titan dwelling is indeed rather underwhelming, and also, is it me or has someone mislabeled the Mage Guild and Arcane Vortex?
