I actually think animlated characters would be cool indeed, but I really hope that H5 would include better heroes animation on the battlefield, I always hated the fact that a genie hero looked lika a genie in his avatar but on the battlefield, he looked like an ordinairy human. What would be really cool, is if the artifacts your heroe carried wouls also be visible on the battlefield. And of course the avatar should be very well done, because thats what differentiates your hero from other heroes. Animated would be very cool indeed, but the actions should not happen every 5 seconds or so, because then it would get irritating very quick. ik should be a rare thing to see solmyr shoot lightning from his fingers. Normally they should just blik their eyes and just look alive and not just a still picture.

if mental hypogenesis with motoric stereotypes (i hope this is how it translates into english) was used where fit only, the idea of animated character icons could be ok.
e.g. some really dumb barbarian hero periodically biting his fingernails or sucking his thumb.

I like this idea. Would get me immersed more for sure!
Making it like Warcraft III would be great though. Click on a hero and Ambrose goes like: "yes lord?" "It shall be done!" while waving his sword and such. A devil hero like Ash on the other hand should have burning eyes and say: "Burn!" and so.

when i see someone i won't say 'burn,' i will say 'hello.'
and if i am a general of an army of a king and i meet the king, i will say 'hello, your majesty' or whatever would be more appropriate.

A devil hero is very evil and is not interested in chitchatting with everyone they see. I would say a kreegan is more interested in killing, razing and other evil deeds.

hmm.. what makes you think i don't kill 12 people a day for a daily dozen. if i would, i would still say 'hello' if i met another person with similar habits.
imagine you are a fire mage and you meet your colleague, the frost mage.
frost mage: 'freeeeeeeze!'
you: 'buuuuurrrnn! arrrggghhhh!'
wouldn't it look like two idiots, no matter if you are devils or not?
havn't heard any ad&d players acting that way.
they did it in warcraft3 (and in many other games), so what? in warcraft3 creatures also have so big balls that they even cannot stand normally. is homm that kind of a game?
maybe the animated character icons, at least if done the way they were done in warcraft3, belong in warcraft3 rather than homm?

edit:
or maybe you didn't mean it like:
fire mage meets his colleague, the frost mage.
frost mage: 'freeeeeeeze!'
fire mage: 'buuuuurrrnn! arrrggghhhh!'
maybe you meant it like:
fire mage meets his colleague, the frost mage.
frost mage: 'freeze!'
fire mage: 'burn!'
?
