Haha joking ... that wasn't gigantic avatar ... it was merely a projection ... like a Batman sign. 
I admit it was silly, just as Elrath. And I don't mind either one 
For the record, me neither

Why? Must there always be a gigantic statue of elrath made of solid gold?
actually that hardly looks like a statue to me.
It reminds me more of the giant demon god who was the grail building for the inferno faction in H3
You know the giant fiery dude in the top left corner

for some reason they definitely look better in game.
i just got done watching the beta stream, and i must admit im much more impressed with the game than i initially anticipated.

It looks better when town's not fully built. Same goes for Haven. The image that showed a Haven town with just a few buildings looked ten times better than the fully built version.

It is better but I dislike that it still lacks bridges to the islands.

I don't think those are necessary. I see two tiny gates on the island for the large town gate, implying that everyone gets from island to island through person-sized portals. I think that suits the Academy faction much more than mundane bridges.
Overall, I'm liking the redesign and concur that the towns look good in their less-developed states, though I'm reserving judgment on whether "undeveloped looks better than fully developed" until we see the fully built towns in their "current" state.

That might just be me, but I think the thing, all of it, is very lazily done.

The UI takes up the bottom the section of the screen, hence why that section seems so empty.

Haven's townscreen looks much better without the pointless ditch and drawbridge.

that's the problem. remove the empty space where the ui is and make the ui part of the screen instead. you know, like h3. no wasted space and UI is visible, useful and not overly cluttered. the perfect solution
EDIT: the flying islands in academy better float around their general area

That's some really shoddy looking grass.
EDIT: Are those waterfalls animated in the game?

IIRC the in-game gate looks more like the new one.
I think they look better. Giant Elrath will always look awkward as snow but the Heaven townscreen looks more like a town and less geometrically awkward and the Academy looks bigger too.

Because now it has an actual gate instead of simply being a glorified entry arch? Besides, the redesign looks nicer IMO.
