Heroes 4 had such a system. I have mixed feelings about it.
One of the issues with H4 is that you could only build 5 dwellings in any town, which made it a bit of a job to build up a traditional-style 'one hero and an army' force without having to rely on external dwellings.

I must say, disspointing Q&A. Sorry to say but the streamer didn't do a good job. There was not a single follow-up question to go deeper or make things clearer, resulting in vague or ambiguous information in many cases (will they release new factions during early access or only after release as DLC? Will we be able to play without the Ubisoft launcher? Does multiplayer work with dedicated servers or is it p2p possible?...)
My main takeaways.
- Actual release date is sometime in 2026. Only early access will be released in 2025 which I don't think was clear at all yet.
-NO CAMPAIGN EDITOR. Will be added during ea if demanded enough. This doesn't really match their claims of supporting single player as much as multiplayer AT ALL. I know they will add it because it will be demanded, but saying this so openly while they try to show they are committed to single player shows they have a huge blind spot. By the way single player is not just the main campaign guys.
The game still looks good and there was some good info there but looked like a missed opportunity to get better info.

No campaign editor is disappointing, but understandable. How many people can name 3 noteworthy custom campaigns ever made for HoMM 3? Probably not worth the effort at this stage of development. Single scenarios are what most people create, and since we're getting the map editor already on early access release, it's good enough for me. Sad they didn't answer my second question about the dialogue system they mentioned. Would be nice to know if it's accessible for custom maps.

It depends on game mechanics. Look at Age of Wonders or Disciples, there was so unlikely to level up, maximize all spells and all skills in one map - even xl - that a big chunk of fan-made creations are campaigns.

I have such mixed feeling about this game.
It has mobile game feel on screenshots and then when I see it in motion it looks much better.
UI also looks like it was developed for mobile, especially creature lineup screen.
Why no number VIII at the end? Is it because its not main entry to the franchise? Why not?
No idea how to feel about esports focus. It seams to me that Heroes VI tried to make game simpler and faster to cater such audience and we all know how that turned out.
I would love few twitch chats with "normal" not heavily competitive player audience so we can ask questions that are not esports focused.
All in all I'm intrigued but need more info.

I think they quite clearly answered that. The game will run via Steam only and you won't have to be constantly online to play.

They only confirmed it for EA and said it is in the hands of the publisher really. (Question responded around 3:37:45 in the video)

No idea what C-E-Ch means but yes they confirmed that it is a 1-7 tiers lineup with alternative upgrades for all creatures.

Quite good! I use a strong melee skeleton, no ranged skeleton.. So the player's own problem! Thus I tried Cyclopses, but AI built Orge Magi in H4.. (My) experience (was found).. Not easy!

1-7, not a Core/Elite/Champion like 6 or 7/

Damn I had forgotten about that already. How wise is the mind making you forget all the bad memories for the sake of your own sanity 
No, nothing like that, just simple 1 to 7 tiers. There will also be level 8 neutral creatures though.

Not exactly. Game is prepared for Steam Early Access, so it must be under Steam. As of Uplay, that is not now but if that will be requirement of Ubisoft, it will be added later.

The look can be deceiving. You will have option to adapt the game to your liking. Meaning there's set of graphical filters to work with, as well as, to pick texture and color of fog of war.
This will be clearer with Early Access, where everyone could tackle with it and see how it works exactly.

As much as I'm disappointed of Stronghold not making it in the core game, I'm intrigued to find out more about the hive faction that has been teased. I assunme its going to have gating/swarm as its faction ability.

I have a feeling that Stronghold may be added during EA. If they plan to be in EA for a full year, that is more than enough time to add another town.
