Add yet another disgruntled voice to the mix. The new system is unintuitive as well as lazy and loses a lot of the feeling for heroes. They literally made it so you feel like you're just ticking boxes now instead of building a city.
Also the end game button at the bottom sucks and should be changed to an exit button. I can't count how many turns I have lost pressing it by mistake.

Logic notwithstanding, Praetorians, a defensive, damage-absorbing unit, are faster than Vampires, an offensive, damage-dealing unit.
I think you can see the problem with this?

Vampires are not damage dealers, that's the Lamasu's and the Liches' roles. Vampires are the Necropolis tanks.
Necropolis' army is not supposed to be highly mobile, it's designed to wait and endure the enemies' attacks (that's why their gauge fills up with the damage they take, not with the damage they deal).

You're missing the point people!
I posted Heroes 6's perfect Haven town screen, one that they already have ingame, but just at another place.
isn't it amazing? That it was there to whole time...

Hi people
The time is right for me to post my opinion. It is actually a translation of my post from a Czech forum, but still it is nice, or at least I hope.
We all know that there were originally spouse to be no townscreans at all. After the initial outrage, the game designers promised us a TS showing us a placeholder of an in-game human town. Two months later the placeholder was still there, this time in the form of a Necropolis Artwork. I have to say this is one of the best options I have seen so far and I was hoping this is the way they will continue to go. But now the Beta has shown us what they were truly working on: A short animation which does'nt reflect almost any of the players action in his town. This is a problem, it take away the game atmosphere, and the lack of atmosphere is the second most common problem people have whit the beta. Not the game designed, not the new mechanics, but Townscreans and lack of Atmosphere.
For me, the problem is not only in the Townscrean, but generally in the town design. I have to say that some of the Ideas looked nice on paper. For example the Pyramid of Necropolis or a chaotic eye construction for Inferno. But in reallyty I have to say I dislike 80% of them. The Townscrens at there current state are a disgrace. The only positive exception is the Inferno which has its sharm. But also the in game apierence of towns is something I am concerned about. In comperisom to other HoMaM games they lack there monumental structure, which even the Heroes IV towns had. The only positive exception in this case is Sanctuary and its temples and stone water dragons.
I personally do not think that the fans and players want that much. Just one nice picture, it could even be 2D, where I can see how my town develops and grows. Have to say that the two best options I have seen so far are: The Necropolis artwork placeholder, and Avirosb photoshoped Heroes II town in place of the current human town.
I Also like Jabanosse's idea of replacing the Townscren whit the background of the main menu.

It's very misty and cloudy.
Joke aside.
@Jaba, when I saw the main menu I thought the same. I don't understand why they tease us with such architecture (main menu). So they can make beautiful town for the main menu but can’t make a town (full)screen.

Hell, I'd have no problem at all with a 2D hand-drawn town screen. HoMM III's were done like that, and I still consider them visually stunning. They're certainly streets ahead of the Heroes VI windows, that's for sure.

- Full screen
- All buildings showing (popping up as we build them)
- Interactive (I want to be able to click on the buildings in addition to using the menu)
