Best (in my opinion ):
- Happiness animation added for Fortress creatures
- The Eternal Light perk modified (Hero’s light spells are now twice harder to dispel. Opposite spells like Slow vs. Haste applied by an enemy to hero’s creatures have a 50% chance to fail.)
- Fountain of Fortune no longer grants +0 Luck
- Warlords can no longer damage towers in Siege combat
- Magical elements now work with new creatures as well
- “Random town” can now be selected as an option in the random map generator
And about this:
Necromancy principles changed
Training principles changed
What they mean with "changed", I hope balanced Training.
And for the Necromancy, I'm sure that they want to make it weaker, like they doing in all patches... they always make nacro weaker
Finally we'll become something like this:
Basic Necromancy - 1% Skels
Advanced Necromancy - 2% Skels
Expert Necromancy - 3% Skels
Ultimate Necromancy - 3,5% Skels
Pillar of Bones - + 0,005% Skels
Amulet of Necromancy - +1% Skels
Why they dont make Academy or Haven weaker
No new spells , only 3 maps
I'm disappointed...

Yay, balance & stability coming! That's what I like!!! And 1.5 will bring us duel customalization yeah! "among other things.."
Now.. we need only new spells& new town.. so, the second add-on will make the heroes5 game finally "completed". Wow! It's been a long road..
I only fear for 1 thing.. their "balancing" usually ends up with making the "rebalanced" feature totally useless Not that I wouldn't like to ban training, but..

- The AI does not cast the Armageddon spell anymore if it can win with no casualties without using the spell
- The AI now understands various player’s diverting placing tactics (like those needed to defend the shooting creatures)
- The AI can now bring its troops closer to the moats
Still no Adventure Map AI fixes, but some the AI "understanding diverting placing tactics)" is HUGE!
Once they fix the adventure map AI (especially when all-powerful heroes don't go straight to your castle) and the "cheating," I'll actually be able to play this game again!

Vokial: I'd like to add
"- Resource cost of certain buildings in Fortress modified (Dwarves need Crystals more than Gems now)"
to good changes.
We all know the costs of level 6 and 7 dwellings were outrageous

The resource changes to fortress are absolutely necessary. We'll see what they actually are...the problem wasn't level 7 it's the rune patriarch's, warlords, and runic guild all needing mucho gems. So they're shifting some of the burden to crystals which are generated by the resource silo.
With the necromancy, since they are reducing skeletons, I hoped they might buff some of the other creatures a bit. Maybe give the wraith some extra speed and attack...increase the vamp life steal power. Whatever.
Hopefully the training will shift the emphasis to higher level creatures. For example I like to go, squire to priest. This will be much more valuable when you can only do 7 units per week. 7 marksmen don't help. 7 inquisitors do.
Anyway it's good news. Fingers crossed.

Things I'd like to see about units
1. Spectrals. Their cost is so lol and they don't offer anything.. even with dragon vault they are the worst level 7 unit.. >_> Where is aging? Where is incoreporality? And if nival wants them suck so desperately, why the costs aren't normal? it's just RIDICULOUS. Ever remember having Spectral Dragons in a MP game on a non-opulent map? ~~
2. Shadow/Black Dragons. Similiar thing.Sulfur - ok, high sulfur cost is a tradition and resource silo helps. But.. Too much crystal needed. If you want the guilds, getting the dragons is very hard.. why? Why can't we use those beautiful units as much as we want?

I agree about the Spectrals, they should cost 1 Mercury, the Bone Dragon doesn't need any resourse cost (who buys them anyway?) Or, reduce the building cost... Here I find the biggest problem being Wood and Ore cost, which are appalling. Considering that it has requirements of Fort, Ghost Dwelling, Citadel and Castle (taking 25 Wood AND Ore) And next you are supposed to pay 20 Wood and Ore for Bone Dragon Dwelling.. Totaling 45 of each.
I do understand that Necro is not supposed to get then early, but that is rediculous imo. Now with the Necromancy getting a nerf, I think this dwelling could get 5 Wood and Ore cheaper.

Actually for a two month job it's pathetic.
I'm glad for some things but we should have had them since HoF came out. But let's see what else they have fixed first...

A cap in necromancy per week is fair as I see it. Now you'll have to buy other creatures too. And you won't see marksmen hordes either which is reassuring.

I cant wait to find out what have been changed there too, but as for training, various tiers should have differing degrees of training, aka 10 peasants -> 7 archers -> 5 footmen -> 3 priests -> 1 caverlier (eg)
Btw, does anyone know what it means by 'AI now understands various player’s diverting placing tactics'?
The list of balances looks simply awesome!
