Darkness Elemental
Most of the Darkness Elementals develop in the depths of Ashan, in caves and tunnels and places of darkness where the influence of Malassa, the Dragon-Goddess of Darkness, is great. Caverns, crevices, and pits are all potential birthplaces. Dormant from sunrise to dusk, they strengthen and grow at nightfall. They sometimes rise to the surface, but will never appear in direct sunlight, yet the more powerful ones can manifest themselves even in the light of a hazy day. Spirits of obfuscation and mystery, their exact form is elusive. They often appear as moving shadows or areas within which light appears unusually wavery and feeble.
Dire Wolf
In the Holy Empire, Dire Wolves are among the most feared predators of the wild. The ruthless warriors of the Wolf Duchy have chosen this bloodthirsty beast as their blazon animal, and they have learned to train them into efficient, if somewhat unreliable companions for their hunting parties, and of course, for war.
Tier: Elite
Timber Wolf
Inhabitating most of the forests of Ashan, these noble predators use their speed and pack tactics to hunt. Contrary to the bloodthirsty Dire Wolves, Timber Wolves usually stay away from people, but have been known to attack lonely travelers, especially during harsh winters when game becomes rare. Wolves howl at the moon, and are thus often believed to be servants of Asha in folklore and legends.

4/ “Is my feedback read by the team? How will M&M team deal with it”?
Your feedback is very valuable for us, and we would like to thank you for all your comments.
We noticed some issues remain important for you.
Important changes like the town screens and user interface were already notified by our VIP fans during the “technical beta” phase.
These features are on our “improve” list, but they’re not the only priorities and they would take a lot of time of development.
The development team at Black Hole and Ubisoft are working hard to be able to offer you the best possible Heroes experience at the time of release.
However, we must inform you that it will be hardly feasible to change the user interface (including the town screens) for the release.
That being said, we’d like you to keep in mind that we won’t stop improving the game beyond September 8th. We’ll continue to update and improve Heroes VI after the release date.
5/ “For how long will the BETA last?”
The Beta will last at least for 3 weeks.
6/ “Is multiplayer mode available?”
During the Beta only the “hotseat” multiplayer mode is available. Full multiplayer mode will be available in the final release only.
7/ “Michael figurine is so beautiful! Can I pre-order it in my country?”
Michael figurine is available exclusively from Ubishop. Currently you can pre-order the figurine (in limited edition) only from these countries:
• France
• Germany
• UK
• Austria
• Spain
• Italy
• Belgium
• Luxembourg
• the Netherlands
• Switzerland
• Finland
• Sweden
• Danemark
• Norway
Michael figurine may be available later in more countries. We’ll keep you informed about it.

Hello Heroes,
First of all, thank you for your very valuable feedback since the beginning of the Private Closed Beta!
During all this time you asked us about game improvements, technical issues and next steps. In the Q&A below (worked out by the M&M team) you can find answers to many of your questions.
1/ “Until when the Beta will last?”
The first phase of the Beta of Might & Magic Heroes VI will end on July 25th.
After that date we are planning to include an additional content and reopen the Beta within 10 days. The added content will be automatically accessible to players registered to the Beta before July 25th via Ubishop or Steam.
The date of the reopening of the Beta and the additional content will be communicated lately. Stay tuned!
2/ “Love what you've done with the faction conversion of cities. It would be nice if this could ALSO convert the secondary barracks dotted about the city's control area.”
You can actually convert Cities, adventure map Dwellings and Forts.
When you capture a Dwelling belonging to another faction, you can click on the “convert” button to convert it to your own faction. The creatures it produces are added to the common pool, and can be recruited directly in the Area’s control point (City or Fort). Fort can also be converted, and if a Fort belongs to your own faction it will generates some gold every day.
3/ “Why it is impossible to load a hot seat game from the main menu?”
We are still in the process of tweaking the main menu interface. Changes should be visible for the next Beta patch (see below) but we think Hotseat should be accessible through the Multiplayer menu.
4/ “Some of the AI's have no troops, which causes a stall after you go to your next turn.”
This is a bug and will be fixed.
In Heroes VI we wanted to allow the Heroes to move on the Adventure Map without troops. They cannot attack enemies or interact with buildings providing bonuses to troops, but they can pick up resources and treasures, and interact with buildings provining bonuses to Hero stats. However, they can be attacked by enemy Heroes and are then immediately defeated.
5/ “Will you add a default hero for any faction/random selection as it takes a lot of time to create a hero for the multiplayer mode”
There will be default heroes available for the AI. However the human player will still have to create his own heroes.
6/ "The core creatures are way too strong or elite/champion creatures are way too weak..."
We are mainly in the process of buffing Champion creatures. We will also continue to consider any tweak necessary.
7/ “My hero was magic based, but I pretty quickly just dropped using magic because the main attack was better.”
When choosing a Magic hero, the first damage dealing spells the hero chooses should be at least be as powerful as a Heroic Strike. We are currently reviewing and fixing any issue related to this.
8/ “There are some purple artifacts which seem overpowered”
Purple artifacts (more commonly known as Relics) are meant to be very powerful and rare artifacts. Some really powerful artifacts are also “legacy”. However we do not rule out the possibility to make changes in the future.
When found on the Adventure Map, Relics are most often guarded by Champion stacks, making them dangerous to collect. You can also find them when visiting an Artifact Merchant, but they are very expensive.
9/ “In Heroes VI healing and resurrection are very common. “
This was a design choice but we may have pushed too far in this direction and are considering possible changes in this area.
10/ “Are you planning to release a patch?”
We are planning to release a patch during this week. You can check out what improvements will be made in the dedicated topic:
