I am looking forward more to changes to Liches than to Vampire - Lich needs a more throrough redesign where as Vampire needs just a lot less armor and some color red perhaps (count style for me)

I've already been complaining about the Grim Rider Vampire - then no one seemed to even notice, everyone praising that monstrosity; ut it's not Death Incarnate, but just an Elite Vampire sitting on a strange horse which is ... what exactly?
It's like I said: you get fancy names that makes everyone ooh and aah - but what you get is something else entirely than expected.
Which, I repeat, is the reason why I lost interest in "creatures" some time ago. And I can't understand why so many people make such a fuss because of it, ether.
I mean, it's Heroes of Ashan, plain and simple, and you either accept that and concentrate on the game as such or you will just bicker and bicker and bicker and complain and complain and complain.
Waste of time. Play HoM 3 instead. Or 4. Or AoW. Or whatever.

he, lol. i was thinking more of the intended strategy the faction as a whole was designed for  you know, mostly beefy and relatively slow units (not even the flyers were very fast and the skeletons were beefy through sheer numbers).
but damn. 7000 skellies on week 3? is that normal?
So... we got skeletons which got average speed for lvl 1, quick wraiths with lower hitpoints than average, vampires which are clearly offensive, liches with death clouds, dread knights with double damage, while the dragons are almost weaker than dread knights and got an ability which encourages offensive. Only zombies fit that description (and sometimes I just hit the skeleton transformer for them).
Also, you don't use skeletons as tanks, you want to keep as many as possible, use either vamp lords or 1 unit stack retaliation fodder like wraiths or zombies. In just one month skellies are pretty much capable of one-hit kill almost everything .
Yep, it is possible to get 7k skeletons in week 3 or at least a few thousands, it implies taking minimum causalities (slow comes handy), building Necromancy Amplifier ASAP (2nd day), work with a lot of heroes (preferably Galtharan as main, Isra and Vidomina as secondary), get Expert Necromancy ASAP also (you may also want to keep some low level guards unattacked until you get expert necro). Since Galtharan can start with 60 skeleton, all you need to do is to set the hell loose. Of course it all depends on map and maybe 7k isn't as easy to obtain (in week 3), but still lots legions of skellies

Because some people have hope?
And it's because I concentrate on the game that I can't accept it, how's that? Yea, I'll bicker and bicker and bicker and complain and complain and complain some more if that's the only wait to make them change things.
I wonder why are you even following if you've given up on it so much. What's keeping you here?

Moreover, it looks like a reskinned hero model.
(The horse looks like it was made in Spore)

He thinks gameplay is the interesting part, and you lash out and ask why is he even here?

First time didn't they said that "no one knows if there is something under their hoods"? Now they twilight boner over reapers too? The "I have no idea what is it" added an aura of mystery, now they are Arthas on Invincible with a scythe.

There is easy solution to all your problems.
Just gather enough $$$ to buy license to the series.
Easy way to have H3 back.

Here's a joke for you.
A skeleton, a ghost and a spider walk into a bar...
Just joking, they are all vampires.
Seriously wondering why they didin't just add the word vampire to the end of every creature.

Hopefully the creature redesign detour won't result delays and bugs.
The Necropolis theme is amazing, more dynamic than H6 and the waltz elements were obviously eradicated since they are part of Academy now. Kinda reminds me of H4 Death theme, but not "evil" at all.

The Grim Rider is essentially a new version of the Death Knight from H5, so nothing new here, they were already Vampires back then.
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/neutral_creatures.shtml
But people thought that they're a combination of Death Knight and Wraith from H5. The Riders themselves visually resemble Wraiths. So I don't understand why there was a need to make them Vampires. It kinds destroys all the mystery of that hood.

But why vampire? Didn't Kaspar said that no one knows what's behind the hood? If there's something, it added an aura of mystery that was well needed for that creature, it's essence of death and you know, death is unknown. I mean just changing the words in a string variable doesn't require any programming skills . A lot of people (myself included) are bored with vampires being the central point, liches are connected to vampires and now reapers too, it's too much IMO
