Hope it wont be full of shape-changing orcs like in H5.
I must have missed it, but where were the shape-changing orcs in H5?

Sorry about the confusion, i meant multiple orc creatures in different tiers, lots of orcs. There are no shapeshifters  .

That means the whole game will be around eastern part of Ashan (Griphon Duchy, Heresh, Ranaar) so maybe next will be Free Cities?

Unless the Cyclops shrinks like 20 feet from HV to HVI for some reason, there's no way realistically that any other unit could be a champion simply due to the huge size of the Cyclops.
Just use your imagination. I just did and there is be a very simple solution to the height difference between H5 cyclops and H6 one.
HINT: they do this all the time in WoW.

Supposedly either the Shaman, either the Slayer/Executioner/Chieftain is making a comeback. Plus the description uses the term "armies of orcs" instead of just "beast-men" and the Harpies are their "allies" so I'm pretty sure there will be multiple orc creatures once again, to continue with the "racial creatures".

This sets up the expansions fairly well, actually. If Orcs are the fourth faction and then (presumably) naga are the fifth faction, then that leaves the sylvan, dungeon, and academy factions to be accounted for.
The sylvan and dungeon factions would make an excellent two-faction expansion, with the correlation between elves and faceless/dark elves; and then the Academy is a wonderful counterbalance to the Necromancer without forcing a (rather cliche) rivalry between a Necromancer sibling and a Wizard sibling. All in all, I think they made the right decision here.
Also, have you looked at the concept art? That harpy looks amazing.

aaahhhhhh music to my ears.... 
Anyway yeah I agree I really hope they don't get any troll units with warcraft-style, but otherwise I really like their style.
To be honoest I hope their won't be any voodoo crap at all for these guys, either for trolls, orcs or goblins. If their should be Voodoo in H6 it should belong to lizardmen or something.

Yay! Orcs! I cant Imagine a Heroes game withaut goblins (note that I didn't new about H5 before the ToE geting anounced)
Ps: Cyclop! I hate him if he substitudes the Behemoth as a champion! I'm guessing the he will because of the beemoth being a boss
If they dont make the bosses playable I'm going to MOD this Game

Well they hopefully have the Wyvern at least.
But I don't think they'll have a hard time filling the faction with non-orc units. Considering the once you mentioned in the discussion threead.
I hope that the Behemoth is a Boss and the Cyclop is the champion because its to big and awesome to be just an elite.

I actually doubt they will add a troll unit, there wasn't any in H5 and I haven't heard of in trolls in Ashan. And according to Elvin the Orcs are NOT a jungle faction, so if there are witch-doctors they are presumably not based on voodoo but rather north "native-american-style".
But I hope they don't get a caster at all it doesn't fit them, not all faction needs casters...

Between goblins, harpies, ogres, trolls, and cyclopes...I don't see any space left for a second orc unit, much less more than that. Even if the champion is an orc (highly unlikely), there still would be only two. So, yeah, I wouldn't be worried about that.
As for champion, my vote goes to the Hydra as well.

I don't get why you hate Blizzard. 
But I would not like if they copied Blizzard either since the Vampire already looks like Arthas 2.0

...who looks like Elric of Melniboné? 
On topic, I agree with Nightterror. I can't see myself playing any of these... maybe Necropolis. Certainly not the uninspired Inferno. Perhaps I'll wait for the expansion packs for the first time. Oh well.

what's wrong with Witch Doctor btw?????
you prefer to see another Orc with sword/axe/knife/fork/hand-fan???
I think Witch Doctor is awesome (in case you don't like Warcraft universe, look at Diablo3 for example)!!!
p.s. I guess they confirmed that we are not going to see Trolls anymore, if i am not mistaken..
p.s.2. Also it says that one of the epic creatures of Stronghold, will become a female??? who da hell it can be???
"centauress", "cyclopess", "orge-mama"??? u kidding me???

Could be some kind of ugly hag thing. But that doesn't really scream priestess....but neither does orc, to be honest.
It's always possible the priestess could be a fifth faction unit. Or a hero class.

what, so blizzard werent allowed to make their own creative interpretation of trolls?
Personally, I think their trolls are really unique and cool and they have a very long and developed history in the warcraft universe (in the warcraft universe, elves evolved from trolls aswell lol).

The warcraft troll are only really good in Warcraft II, when they looked like this:
the ones in WC3 the jungle, ice and forest trolls are all really bad, they shouldn't look that happy nor skinny. They should be More Badass!
And in WoW they are even worse.
However how someone(Nighterror) can't like Warcraft 3 is completely beyond me. It's the best game ever made since age of empires 1.
Yeah in warcraft they do a lot of interpretation of classic creatures some of them are good, but most of them are not. But it is much better that they make their own minotaur and call it Tauren instead of just calling it minotaur which it is not.
To be honest I'm more pissed at Tolken for turning "all" trolls into huge monster.
Man I love 'em so much more in Scandinavian folklore
