Mammoths look really cool. Very excited to learn what the "alternate" teased at is. Alternate Specialities?
I swear the squirrels are getting smaller. I probably missed 10.

Displacer Beasts Prey on Unicorns
与 Gemini 对话
dnd里位移兽捕食独角兽，用英文表达一下
In the lore of Dungeons & Dragons, the relationship between these two iconic creatures is a classic example of "predator versus prey" within the Feywild and deep sylvan forests.
Here are a few ways to express that Displaced Beasts hunt/prey on Unicorns in English, depending on the tone you want:
1. Direct and Natural (Best for general conversation)
"Displacer Beasts prey on Unicorns."
"In D&D lore, Displacer Beasts are known to hunt and eat Unicorns."
"Unicorns are a natural prey for Displacer Beasts."
2. Descriptive and "Flavorful" (Best for DMing or storytelling)
"The Displacer Beast is a vicious predator that stalks the elusive Unicorn."
"Despite their celestial grace, Unicorns are often targeted by the predatory Displacer Beasts."
"There is a natural enmity between the two, with Displacer Beasts frequently hunting Unicorns across the Feywild."
3. Using Specific Terminology
Apex Predator: "The Displacer Beast acts as an apex predator, often viewing the Unicorn as its most prized quarry."
Natural Enemy: "Displacer Beasts and Unicorns are natural enemies; the former is a relentless hunter of the latter."

Hehe. We here love MM and stick to it (since it's the canon), so the answer should be obvious. 
That's all for now, not gonna spill too many beans.
Edit: I just checked DnD dark elves, no way those would be in, at least not in such a project. Ubisoft can stick to them.

It could be a good guess. But aren‘t the wolves represented by Wolf Riders? Maybe it‘s a dwelling for something like Moon Doe / Sun Deer. These wouldn‘t be the first „refugees“ we saw from Ashan. But for a kind of magical unit like this the dwelling looks too ordinary.

Hm, it certainly isn't the only option, but I could see it be werewolves - it wouldn't be that ill-fitting a dwelling for them, it's a classic fantasy element that HOMM doesn't have, and they are canonical as present on the planet (werewolves show up in The Mandate of Heaven).

Bulwark destroyed the Palace? You must still be drunk from New Year's Eve if you're comparing Bulwark to the Palace. Bulwark is the worst castle Hota has ever released, just to get it out faster than the beautiful DoR Palace. It's clear that the guys from DoR are winning in this field compared to Hota, and they're getting their arses kicked  It looks terrible compared to the palace. Nice try. Don't drink too much spirit over there in Russia.

Thank you russian_bot01 for creating account specifically to share your opinion
I say, why don't we have both? Even if there are similarities because of two factions representing their own version of Vori, these two visions are very much distint from each other and can coexist.

I just hope DoR comes out before I die at this point.
Palace looks really good now and is much better IMO than Bulwark. I actually have a theory Bulwark was rushed out of HotA because they are panicking over the possibility of DoR coming out soon and stealing their relevance.
Grove is the town I'm currently more interested in finding out more of, it's got a neat theme.
Forge is neat, and after playing MM6 I know how it fits into the game so I don't mind it.
The Tides of War/MDT content being in DoR in some form like alternate creatures for towns is another big addition that I'm looking forward to.
But the number one addition in DoR that is bigger than all the rest is the new(?) engine and revolutionary(?) moddability and toolset that they've been saying will release with it. That's a game changer. If it comes out and it's just like promised, then that's huge. Having much easier moddability than ERA/WOG is nice to lower barrier for entry and get a lot more people making content for it. Being open source will completely obsolete HotA since they put DRM in their mod to prevent further modding like scripting from the HD mod, and they kept everything closed source. I'm looking forward to the day that happens, people who use closed source mods and DRM are against the modding community.

For my part, I would like to thank the entire DoR team for their hard work. I follow this project on Discord and the forum as an invisible user, and that's all I'll say. The legends of MDT Trith, Ami, Neph, Witchking and even RK are working there, and new ambitious people and artists have joined, whom I am slowly getting to know, as well as Fire Paladin, who has developed incredibly in terms of modding and is now the leader of this project. Team, do not give up. I know you can release the best add-on in the history of H3, and people know it. Keep doing what you are doing and do not give up. I am rooting for you, and not only me, but the entire Heroes 3 community (except for some envious chatterboxes).
The models created by Trith and Fire Paladin in 3D surpass Hota in quality.
PS I almost forgot, I don't know who creates the promotional maps for you, and I suspect that they are for playing campaigns and single games, but these people are doing a great job and are doing it in the best and most refreshed version of Heroes 3. Each of you deserves a place in the team. I am waiting for more news. Show the world what this expansion is capable of.

I think it's great to have different mods for Heroes III and I am grateful and happy that we have DoR team, HotA Crew, and many more people solo or on teams modding the game out of passion.
We all love Heroes here, so let's enjoy the game, whichever version one prefers. It's not a competition who makes the coolest towns or who releases their work faster. Just my 2c.

DoR is not even out yet and I already prefer it. Don't get me wrong I think HotA is amazing and feels like official expansion but I personaly do not find any of the new towns very interesting.
On the other hand I simped for Forge since I first saw pictures of it decades ago and was devastated when I learned later it was supposed to be released with AB and was abandoned.
Palace also looks amazing and much more magical and like true original high elven town unlike Bulwark which should have stayed dwarf faction in my opinion (I also simp for dwarves).
Grotto (Dark elves) also looks interesting and as a natural fit for Heroes.
The biggest negative about Hota in my opinion is the difficulty of campaigns. Don't get me wrong they are duable but I aways get emerged in lore and I find it hard to enjoy it in Hota because everything feels too scripted and you have to play map multiple times just to know what to do and where to go and gives you no time for exploration and enjoyment of the game. I can't understand why they could not have made easier mode on par with original campaings.
But in the end it is VCMI who wins. You will be able to play both there on your mobile at work.

Come on folks, there's no need for drama in modding. We all should be better than this.
I personally prefer HotA and have no plans to ever play DoR but I still follow and support the latter because a massive high-quality mod like that is good for the community. It makes me happy seeing what modders can achieve in Heroes 3 now, regardless of my personal preferences.

Totally organic appearance of a new account here geared to cause negative attention towards HotA, and that one guy's political post at Olden Era subforum.
I know people have preferences, but immediately jumping out to snow on HotA is literally what that bot wanted you to do to sow strife.
