Q1. The Hero Role.
6. Other. Please specify.
Similar to H5 but they get 'killed' when losing a battle
Q2. How much is it reasonable that a Hero can add to an army's offence and defence? (Through skills and attributes)
2. 10-50 %
Q3. Should Heroes be able to have side-kicks/henchmen (enhancing skills or giving Hero new abilities) or war machines?
D. War machines.
Q4. What should decide which spells a Hero have access to (barring artifacts or scrolls which can give heroes additional spells):
1. Any spell the Hero has learnt in the game (H2 - H5 style)
Q5. Which level of diplomacy do you want in the game?
2. Fixed allies on the Map.
Q6. Assuming you have diplomacy which of the following do you want.
A. Several levels of diplomay like: War, Hostile, Unknown, Peace, Trading Treaty, Alliance
D. Ability to threaten hostile actions unless demands are met.
Q7. Assuming you can trade with other players which of the following do you want tradeable (some of these would be limited depending on the diplomatic stance between the players):
A. Towns.
C. Flagged Map Structures. (Mines etcetera)
E. Artifacts.
F. Normal resources.
H. Creatures.
Q8. How much should a Hero minor artifact be able to add to an army's offence, ranged attack or defence?
1. Less than 10%
Q9. Stacking creatures:
3. Creature stacks should work as before.
I have something to add here, see *
Q10. How many Towns would you like to see:
3. 8-9
The more, usually the better, if it doesn't break balance
Q11. How many creatures (counting upgrades) in each town?
4. 17 or more. (H5 + ToTE)
Q12. How many upgrades for each creature in town? (Edited to clarify: It's the number of upgrades for the individiual creature and not the total amount of upgrades of creatures which is asked for.)
D. Each creature should have one or several alternative upgrades. (H5 + ToTE)
You can add a third alternative upgrade, but I am not making the game, so I don't care how hard it turns out to develop it 
Q13. Magic Schools and Towns
2. Use 3-6 magic schools, and let each towns produce spells in about 50% of them. (H5 style)
I would like the spells to be chosen by the player, not randomly 
Q14. How many levels for spells?
1. 4 or less.
4 levels to balance the gap between them -- this does not mean less spells, we can add more at the same level
Q15. How do you want the magic schools?
2. Dedicated schools with unique spells (H4 - H5)
Q16. Should there be spells for....
A. Global spells affecting all creatures (possible in radius from a Hero or a Town)
B. Spells directly affecting cities.
C. Summoning creatures outside combat, which you can keep.
E. Summonng guards to Mines (H2 style)
Q17. Which of the following do you want to see during a siege of a city.
B. Turrets, but player must place own shooters in it.
C. Garrison mage/tower casting spells.
D. Traps and moats harming attackers.
E. Grail creature defending town.
F. Specialized defence strutcure. (Could be dealing damage to attackers each turn, or summoning town defenders, or possibly animating slain creatures to skeletons and the like.)
G. Catapults to break down walls and gate.
H. Attackers can scale the walls without having to ruin them.
I. Attacker is able to destroy town structures. (If completely destroyed then the defender has to rebuild them.)
For 'I' I would say that different town heroes shouldn't be able to capture different towns (from different factions that is), but instead destroy them (and have to be rebuilt). Thus, a Knight/Haven can't capture a Demon Town (only destroy it), but can capture a Haven town.
Also, the battlefield should be larger to allow for "custom" placement of turrets/towers
Q18. How many secondary skills for heroes?
3. 30-39
Q19. How many skill levels for the secondary skills?
2. 4.
Q20. How tightly should skills depend on each other.
2. Loosely connected with groups. (Like in H5, or not)
Q21. Should Hero secondary class depend on secondary skill?
1. Hero class should be derived from secondary skills possessed.
2. Hero class should decide which skills are offered, and restrict certain skill from being offered. Hero class should be derived from parameters other than the secondary skills.
4. Other. Please specify.
A combination of 1 and 2, that is, you need both some skills and some other parameters than skills (also should depend on hero)
Q22. Assuming there are skill groups. How many skills in each group?
2. 4 skills.
Q23. Should creatures require upkeep?
2. No.
Q24. Do you want the one build/day limit to stay?
Sort of, I would like buildings to have different "build" times (days), but also recruit some kind of "workers", the more you have, the faster and possibly more buildings at the same time (even though that divides the workers' job into two or more buildings). Workers are very important because the buildings can be destroyed in siege quite easily.
There should be also the possibility of placing multiple dwellings of the same type, though for placing them you will need a considerable amount of prerequisites (in short, you have to build other buildings). The prerequisites are something like "Farm" for peasants. If you want more peasant huts, you'll have to place more "Farms" too (in this case, farms do nothing at all, just a prerequisite for the dwellings). You can put an arbitrary number but that would not be good since it would limit your building time (takes a day).
Q25. Which restriction on mixing creatures and heroes in armies do you prefer?
3. Creatures can move around without Heroes. (H4 style)
Of course this makes them handicapped as they will not have a hero supporting them, but anyway
Q26. Which limit do you want for recruiting Heroes?
2. One per week/Tavern, more with Tavern upgrades.
Q27. Should Heroes in basic classes start out identical?
2. No.
Q28: Should heroes have specialties?
1. Yes (like in H3, H5)
Q29: If the answer above is yes should they:
A. Enhance secondary skills
B. Offer bonuses to certain creatures
C. Offer proficiency with certain spells
D. Other Miscellaneous, Adventure Map, Economical\Town advantages (please specify)
Q30: Maximum City Hall weekly income should cover
2. 50%-75%
Q31. How important is a Random Map Generator in first release to you.
2. Very important.
Q32. How important is multi player in the first relesase?
2. Very important.
Q33. How important is an improved map editor (compared to the feature level in H5?
4. Not important.
Since I don't use it much anyway
Q34. How important is possibility to modify the game, with custom graphics, sounds or similar?
4. Not important.
Just to alter the stats of creatures would be fine
Q35. What do you think of Fog of War?
3. Make it an option. (Select when Map is started.)
Q36. What do you think of mobile guards?
2. Keep it away.
Q37. Do you want "line of sight" rules to restrict vision on the adventure Map?
1. Yes
Q38. How do you deal with heroes who retreat/surrender in battle?
6. Heroes can't retreat. Surrender is allowed if opponent accept offer or your hero has better Diplomacy skill.
7. Other. Please specify.
Similar to '6', but Heroes may retreat if they have enough armies to "hold back" the enemy -- amount is 50% power of enemy creatures (you need to have that many creatures, this prevents hit'n'run)
Q39. How should in-combat movement be handled (Part 1)?
2. Each creature (and hero if in combat) should have independent speed/initiative and movement/speed stats, the first determining when they move, the second determinining how far they move. (H4 - H5)
Q40. How should in-combat movement be handled (Part 2)?
2. Initiative, the way it works in H5.
3. Other.
But with reduced ATB randomness at the beginning of battle!
Q41. How should Adventure-map movement be handled?
2. The distance that the army can go is independent of creatures in the army.
Q42. If there are different steeds/mounts available for heroes at stables, what should they be able to do?
E. There should only be one steed from a stable, and it should only increase adventure map movement. (H3 - H5).
Q43. How should morale work?
3. Creatures get morale after their turn, which moves their next turn up. (H5)
Q44. How should luck work?
1. It should increase or decrease creature damage, depending on whether it's positive or negative. (H1 - H3, H5)
Reduce the freaking 200% damage bonus to 150%

Q1.
2. Heroes should be on battle field (Heroes 4 style)
3. Heroes should not particpate personally in battle. (Heroes 1-Heroes 3 style.)
6: There should be a commander slot, it must be set before battle. A hero may use the commander slot, but a hero must have creatures to be able to travel as a general.
Image H4, but the general slot allows the her to function as in H1-3.
But for the commander, can freely do as in back in H4. If a hero dies as a commander, the hero will be availon in the tavern of the side killing the hero.
You must be in a castle to switch on commander/general.
Any commander may join any general on the map, but the positions canoot be switched unless in town.
A general gives bonuses to the army, but a commander can fight like a creep with insane lategame power(H4).
However a hero can attack as a commander, instead of casting a spell if the skill is possesed.

Q15.
