| So what you guys think about academy town screen?. For me perspective is wrong ,not detailed enough and and art style feels out of place with darker theme of the game. |

| Isn't it just a concept art though? Not the same graphics as the Haven one. I like how you can spot Cabir, Gargoyle and Golem.   |

| I really don't want 2d town screens in Heroes 7.  I just don't understand why they do that... Ubi/Limbic have powerful 3d engine and already quite enough ready content for 3d screens. So here my 3d town screen suggestion. (sorry for some freezes in video)

| The Academy Townscreen has definitely a better 'concept' though, even if the perspective though. The Haven Townscreen is soo dull that I can barely look at it, same goes for the H6 one. The contrast and colors of the Academy Townscreen are also much better and clearer. |

| Wait... I don't know much about Heroes 7 but how... how did you do that? Are the townscreens 3D but have the camera locked to a 2D perspective, and you unlocked the camera and flew around a bit? ____________

 These are likely battlefield flybys editted from seigebattles shown in the Gamescom demo-video.
 There is no way Red has acces to the game unless he works at Ubi or Limbic.
 
 As to the reason why they do not use a 3d townscreen, especially when the engine is suited for it. It is very simple.
 3D townscreens are a lot more work compared to 2D, with no extra benefits. Sure, it will please some fans, but it will tick off others. Probably the ammount of "fans" who will not by HeroesVII because it has no 3D townscreens is roughly equal to the ones who would not buy it had it no 2D townscreens. The majority will not make a great fuss about it, as long as there are reasonably pretty townscreens.

 It just a part cut from Ubisoft H7 Trailer from IGN channel/Twitch.tv.
 In trailer it was camera zoom on Haven city and on start of Academy siege battle.
 What you have is just an idea to use these zooms and adventure map 3D models as town screens.

| Look at the bar in Red_flag's video ( 0:16 ), Academy creatures. From where did you get that ? That isn't on the IGN video, and those cratures aren't on H7 website   |

 The problem is not that they were datamined, but here they are in a Video.. And I dont recall seeing them in any video.

 No no, don't look at this portraits, it's just my photoshop tricky with UI.

 Yes, it's just combined video from Gamescom trailers with photoshoped UI. Happy that you like it.
