Quote:
we had one very negative player from the french community participate in very early testing a few weeks ago. He came back enthusiastic and completely modified his votes on the "features" he couldnt even stand reading about. That gives me some confidence 
It sounds as if the closed alpha testing has already been going on for some time. Here's hoping the public beta stage will come soon!

Nature confirmed at the recent con in Germany
"...you could see somthing really new: There was a big tree, whose likeness reminded me of an ent fom LotR - this ws a creature and called "treant". Near the treant in a short distance you could see some other so far unknown creatures: druids and elder druids. In addition, there was a town on the map, which reminded me of the nature town from H4."

How the heck can they turn their backs on the Barbarians? They've been present in the Heroes of Might and Magic universe since the beginning! And don't tell me it's 'couse there's going to be a whole new universe, unless, of course, you approve getting a mouthful of my foot!

Looks like heroze V looks even more worse then heroze IV, which suck in all cases. Imo New World Computing need to order Doom III engine and develop heroze V on it with stencil shadows and bumpmapping in full 3d world.
You noob, don't judge a game before it's out.

NEW INFO !!!
Creature Abilities
Royal Griffin - Can leave the combat for a turn and can then return to attack an enemy (I think you already knew this).
Archer - Can shoot multple arrows
Cleric - Can cast bless and an offensive spell
Combat
There is a way that you can fight in battles except by turns. It seems that creatures have another attribute which is initiative. This matters greatly as you can defeat your enemy faster. If you fight against some peasants( which have a low initiative) you can get your units to attack him fast, but if you just stand around there, the peasant will attack.
The Battlefield
As Fabrice already said, it will be large if there are more than 7 units on the battlefield and smaller if less.
Camera during battles
During battles, when you are attacked or when you attack your enemy, the camera will change to 1st person view.
Spells
Well, I know about 2 spells :
Stoneskin - The animation is something like...the enchanted unit is covered with stones.
Bolt - Some kind of Ice bolt animation.

I hope this is an option that can be turned off.
Other issues have already been discussed in the respective threads.

They have said that this option is only for the first times to see more detailed what is happen whe you do something new in the game... for me this sounds like when each unit attack for the firt time the camera change... and they also said that his function will be optional...

New info from Nival
originally posted by .NET on CH
Quote:
-The Russian and English demo versions will be released simultaneously.
- Steve Fokner, the creator of the Warlords series, is acting as a game mechanics consultant, and Rob King is really writing music for Heroes V.
- Some light on the Heroes V magic system will be brought in 2-3 weeks.
- There will be war machines (ballista, first aid tent, etc.)
- There will be artifacts that give bonuses to experience gain.
- The Academy town will be able to create mini-artifacts for units. *
- There will be some hero abilities that bring some randomness to spell usage (if the caster has a low magic level, strong spells may fail or even turn against the caster's army.
- There will be water.
- Like in earlier games, heroes will lose all their turns when boarding or unboarding ships.
- There will be neutral monsters.
- Stacks can only be divided on the global map, not on the battlefield.
- There will be two distinct parameters called "initiative" and "speed".
- Every stack has its own turn periodicity. After activating Defend, the stack gains +30% to Defense until the next turn, and the time to wait until the next turn is halved.
- The hero also waits for a turn and can only flee/surrender when active.
- Dragons occupy 4 battlefield grid cells.
- The Wraith's Harm Touch ability doesn't depend on the number of Wraiths in stack.
- Horned Overseers can commit a suicide explosion.
- Archers lose the area attack ability after upgrading to Marksmen.
- Units resurrected by Angels remain after the battle.
* This one sounds promising!

Aside from nice but old pictures, there has been no news for two weeks there. The official forum is dead at the moment, with beta testers moving to the closed boards.
It's interesting that Nival publishes bits of information now and then, but mostly in Russian.

New Interview
LordZXZX:
Larisa, a Nival PR, has posted answers to 36 questions asked on the Nival board today. It has been posted on the Age of Heroes site. Larisas Question and Answer. It also answers your question about the Phoenix, LordZXZX. 
Alas, the Barbarians have been omitted from the original release version of Heroes V. I have high hopes for them returning in the next expansion though.
My Reasoning:
Fabrice stated that there would be about 130 creatures in the game in total. (His words were that they'd top the number of creatures in Heroes III with expansions). Seeing as there are 14x6 = 84 + 10 or so neutrals, there is easily space for another town.
Another good sign for the moment is that there are 6 towns, each one having an opposite. Therefore, it would make sense to either:
Add a Barbarian town with no opposite (similar to Heroes IV) or...
Add a Barbarian town with a very magical opposite, though this is unlikely since the Academy already has claims on that title.

The most interesting news from the latest Nival interview (originally posted by Sikon at CH):
'Haven players will be able to upgrade low-level troops (e.g. Peasants) to high-level troops (e.g. Knights). However, it costs a fortune.
Sylvan players will be able to select a few most hated enemy units, and their troops will fight better against them.
There will be difficulty levels, and possibly more than five.
Artifacts are stronger, but are encountered less frequently than in previous Heroes games. There will be no Heroes III-style artifact flood.
Most of the combat AI has been ready for more than a year, but it is still in development - they still have to teach it using tricks like the Griffin special attack. However, it has shown itself a worthy opponent and is praised by virtually everyone having access to the game. The global AI is still under development.
Cavaliers will retain their Charge ability.
There is a multiplayer mode in which players make their turns simultaneously until the first "conflict of interests" - for example, if a hero is within a movement range of another hero, which includes spells like Dimension Door.'
