Possible Hint As To New Town
So, I was looking over the HVI screenshots on the official page again in a desperate attempt to stave off the realization that HVI is still at least 3 months away, and I noticed something in this screenshot:
That tileset is pretty clearly the dev-confirmed jungle one, right? And it stands to reason that the stone facades we see in this screenshot may be linked in some way to the (presumably existing, as there is a whole tileset) jungle town. The architecture looks to me kinda like an Aztec-Asian fusion, almost; the walls and the stone head seem to combine aspects of those two cultures.
Any thoughts as to whether this could indicate a potential artistic style for a new town?
Also, there appear to be cliff gaps instead of mountains as impassable terrain there; that should be an interesting way to add depth to the map.
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I haven't seen discussion of it, so I figured I'd post this up here and see what you all think.

If you look at the opening that the Necromancer girl stands at there are serpent sculpture thingies on both sides too.

Very possible, in any case I like the style. So therefore i hope it will belong to a faction instead of just being some random doodad for the jungle tileset.
I dont' know if I have understod this right but, will this with sveltana be some kind of prologue campaign for H6? If so it will be a good way to show the 5th race to the players campaign-wise.
kinda unrelated, but OMG how beautiful Heroes 6 is

Yeah, I am totally blown away by this, and it's not even a finished game. The jungle just looks absolutely beautiful, I have a feeling I'm going to get more than a few "wow" moments from this tileset. So here's hoping there's a town on it that I enjoy!
I really do like the style they've used there, it's really interesting. If there's a town based off of that, I will be very, very happy; the architecture doesn't appear as overtly Asian as some of the Naga concept art has been yet still mixes in some aesthetic elements of that culture. Very interesting.

I definitely want to see a faction with style and architecture which are based on stone/rock kinda like ancient Aztec/Cambodian style.
And if you look above the serpent to the right on the wall you can see a typical arced east-asian roof, or whatever it's supposed to be called  . the pattern on the side of the wall also reminds of aztec/mayan-style

Sorry, but this has been discussed a lot in both the Discussion Thread and the Information topic (see stickies), so I don't think this needs a new thread.

What will happen now?
