I really hope they're not replacing those kickass Druids from H5 with that stupid-looking Druidess. If this is gonna turn into another political correctness like H6 was, I will not buy this game.
H5 druids looked silly and overdone.

Nuh uh, I really liked them. Except for the flower in the staff, like why god why. But the antelope horns were a nice touch, made them stand out and be "earthly"

I - What is your early impression about the new Heroes VII?
I like it! I just hope the game itself won't be boring, which was my main vice against H6, which had pretty cool designs and original game mechanics.
I mean... even if i didn't like it, I'd probably still buy the game REGARDLESS.
II - What is your favorite Heroes faction?
Sylvan (even if the name of that castle is so moronic lol.)
III - Which factions you think should be featured with vanilla Heroes 7?
The four revealed so far + Sylvan/Rampart/Preserve (a staple in the HoMM franchise who were HEINOUSLY omitted from H6 >:-/). + Sanctuary (my fave faction in H6, and a really fun one too boot). Perhaps a completely new faction as well, based on H3 Fortress?
IV - On the first vote, who will you chose between Sylvan and Fortress, and why?
Sylvan because... well just reread the above, plz.

They are priests, they don't have to do that much walking.

The H5 druids were to bulky and cartoonish for my taste. Though much attributed to the whole graphical design of the game. If sylvan looks anything like the artwork of the female druid on the H7 website, im content. More noble, more magical and less "rugged ranger" - style.

Impressions on Faction composition as revealed so far.
HAVEN
I for one see a lot of difference between these creatures and the ones from H6 Haven. Not in their type necessarily, we always had archers and cavalry, but in their appearance which appears much more rugged and medieval! No more bright and shiny and light bulbs teleporting all over the place. The Swordbearer as a champion unit is an interesting choice. I haven't seen such an unit yet in any heroes series, but it reminds me of the way things were in Heroes 4, where you had to chose between the Cavalier and the Angel. With this in mind and thinking about the Might Attack/Defense and Magic Attack/Defense systems as seen in Heroes 6, it is possible that this is the might oriented champion that might heroes would want to get.
As for the creatures not yet revealed, well, I think I got a pretty good idea what they'll be. Angel champion and Elrath Priest(?) elite are not really a guess:
And we know that there will be a Griffin elite no matter what. That leaves us with one core, which I suspect will be the human Praetorian from Heroes 6. Although! We might see a comeback of the Pikeman/Halberdier from Heroes 3. Of course, I might be mistaken here entirely since there is already a melee in the lineup with the direwolf. But I'd like to think that we won't see the Vestals ever again.
ACADEMY
Ok, first off, I have no clue what a Cabir is. But judging from the way it looks, I suspect it's a core shooter/caster. Then we have the Djinn, iconic Academy creature, as well as the Titan. The surprise for me came with the Magic Bird/Arcane Bird, and while the names suck balls, the creature itself seems interesting enough. It's probably, as the name suggests, a magic oriented creature as an alternative to the might oriented Titan.
In the predictions department - I think there is a high chance for us to see Mages and Rakshasas as elite and Golems and Gargoyles the other 2 cores.
Think that's about it. If there's anything wrong with my analysis or you think you have better predictions you're more than welcome to share your thoughts.

@SG: That one in the picture might be. But that doesn't mean there won't be a priest in haven lineup. You already have 2 might creatures with horseman and griffin so a priest or something similar would be the obvious choice as the magic creature.
@WO: Thanks, keep them coming if there are any updates.

Griffins ain't revealed/leaked yet, but I'm sure they're in there.
But I agree with Storm, the Golden Priest looks too similar to HVI Magic Heroes to be a unit. Then again, never say never.
Also, you're welcome. Even if I don't discover half this stuff myself and just transport things around.

I'm not saying there won't be a priest, all I'm saying is that artwork doesn't neccessary belongs to H7 Priest (if there are). To me it reminds me of H6 Have heroes design

I guess you never played heroes 2 or 1?
Anyway. the look of the new knight/heaven factions is so far best from all the hero game for me. They are dark and I like it.
For wizards I dont like the first unit so far, it has huge head compared to its body, and looks somewhat comical. The lizard man can be done a lot better. But I love the new look of titan. The new phoenix like bird is ok, but nothing special

My worries escalate...the new seraph is just like the H6-one but male, and with a helmet. Same wings, same swords, same body. The priest-unit aswell, just the heroesmodel from H6. Its lazy and cheap. It cant just feel like a modified H6, it has to feel fresh. Perhaps its premature, but the signs are there...
