Starforce. Other than that, that the factions will be lean more to the equal side instead of the balanced one.

Yeap... i think the same way.. those are my TWO MAYOR concerns.
1- STARFORCE sucks, it does NOT stop piracy, it will only slow what's inevitable...
2- Balance... i also have realize that the untis seem to have similar (if not the same) abilities, therefore the game is not balanced is just the same.

My bigest conserne is no longer Star force.

I am changing to there are races withe guns!

That is not HOMM.

I know that weapon looks like a gun... but I think this one is a handballista...

That's easy: That even dumber people than some years ago with the forge will try to ruin everything with their whing about how the designers are incompetent and ruining everything.

My bigest conserne is that the titan will have a rocket luncher

System requirements. New videos I saw in some german page, were just darling. My apparatus might not be strong enough for it. I hope it would come for Revolution

Yup! System requirements... Optimisation PLEASEE!!!!

Hey, maybe h5 would be a solid base to reimprove all the things that were left behind. First the base!

since this post is alredy up. Im back to sf.

To me it's simple...
AI. Not only battle AI, but also strategic AI
That's why I loved HOMM2 and 3, they were tough (even with the cheating AI, they still came at you with force). HOMM4 almost seemed like the computer just selected a random spot and moved the troops there, or if your main city was 5 squares away unprotected, but there was a gold mine further away, the computer would go straight to the mine *boggle*
Give me a challenging AI first, then we can talk about units and what not.
By the way, those talking about 'guns', it's not true, the only unit with something similar to a 'gun' is a dark elf with a hand crossbow.
Battlefield size seems small too, I liked the big field in HOMM4, allowed for better strategies

Its not my biggest concern but i think its something that Ubisoft can change before they release the game. From the demo's that i have seen so far i have noticed that they have only placed 3 spells per page. Come on, im going to b flipping thru the spell book for ages. Well unless they have made it so that u can use the "F" keys to save yor fav 12 spells. Wen fighting many easy battles i want to get thru them quickly. Please Ubisoft we dont need so many pages for our spell books, A small pic and description is just fine.

I wish I could have just sf to be concerned. My biggest concern now is that there are no more alignments that I can play with as a favourite. Haven was spoiled by the Inquisitor, and now Nature was spoiled by turning into whatever it will be now, but I'm sure now I won't have my dream Nature town:
1. Sprites or Centaurs
2. Dwarves or whatever (wolves, tigers)
3. Elves
4. Pegasi
5. Dendroids/Ents
6. Unicorns
7. Phoenix or Gold Dragon
(you've got it - I loved the Rampart in H3 )

Now my only hope lays with Academy (the one I thought will end up my 3rd as preferance, after the ideal Nature & Haven). But if they take out the Naga for example.... I don't want to think about it now.

my biggest concern about heroesV so far is that i wont have enough time to play it decently with my student duties growing.

I think I'm missing something: why do you think you will lose your beloved Rampart?

As we know the NEW faction is NOT Sylvan, IT IS DUNGEON, as Mishulin said.

Therefore, I think Sylvan will be the Nature town very much related with what you described before.

So, why are you concern?

My NEW biggest concern is the dungeon. It is my greatest H5-Nightmare incarnate.
The cheapest copy of Warhammer and Drow-Darkelfs I've ever seen. In addition the elfs have this stupid oversized donkey ears like in WoW. Bah! I hate it (except minotaurs,hydras and black dragons. They are cool.)

1) The Matriarchat is a copy of the Drow society.
2) The Bloodfuries look exactly like warhammer Witchelfs.
3) The multiheaded snake-whips are a copy from the snakewhips of the drow-priestresses.
4) The whole plot-again-other-clans is a complete copy of drow society with only the spiderqueen replaced by the dragon of darkness.
5) 4! Units of Darkelfs! Hell, that means 3 to much for my taste. Each of the remainin' 3 takes the room of creatures that now will not come into the game.
6) The lizard riders look exactly like the dark knights from the Warhammer Darkelfs
7) The whole equipment and armor looks like Warhammer darkelf equipment.

I hate this faction. Hail to the Barbarians!

I hope you're right (I didn't read Mishulin's interview yet). Right now I don't care at all anymore about them keeping their word about giving us a totally new alignment (Dungeon with Bandits/Assassins, Minotaurs, Hydras & Black Dragons *new* - LooooL). I also don't care so much anymore about how much StarForce will mess up my computer. Now I'm left with the desparate wish of having at least one alignment in this game that I can call my favourite.

"5) 4! Units of Darkelfs! Hell, that means 3 to much for my taste. Each of the remainin' 3 takes the room of creatures that now will not come into the game."

Aha - and in the Haven faction there are 5!!!!! humans! Outrageous!!! Besides they definetly copied the ideas of units from countless fantasy resources - how uninnovative

(Sarcasm mode off)
It's not that bad isn't it? Now we have a destinctive race to assosiate with the Dungeon Faction.

You are right it is not THAT bad. It is even worse.

well starforce ranks at the top, but also i would like to be able to play the game without it crashing.
oh and a linux port/support.

* Nothing added from H4 (I think that at least self-moving creatures were alright)
* Too high spec
* The same bugs from H3
* Unbalance
* No ways to modify game/create maps
* Battlefield size...
