Transition from Enroth to Axeoth was well-done. And Heroes V was a success only thanks to the huge fan base gathered by NWC, even[/i ]after the broken product Heroes which was Heroes IV. Ashan got criticized pretty early though.

There're really no coherency problem. A new universe by itself is a problem for some fans.
I'd say when your new universe' first appearance is that of a diluted Warhammer, only with more holy-moly, there are some grounds for concern.

now i get cha! h6 was really bad about this since you had to spend in-game currency (wat?) to unlock more heroes to use in hotseat and skirmishes or you could alternatively create your own heroes which was snowing awesome! i don't think the unlocking extra heroes will make a return so you don't need to worry 
create-a-hero should though... that was god damn amazing especially if you could now upload your own pictures 
Spend in-game currency to get more hero options?! This is madness  So if i end up playing at my friends place or anywhere else than my home or if i install the game on another computer i need to make sure to remember to copy my save-files to a floppydisk... back to the stone age  I really think that with hotseat/multiplayer you need to have all the options ready from the start so you can just play it anywhere with out being hindered by the "local setting" or computer/player profile specific situations.
But creating your own hero... now that sounds pretty awesome! Never got so far with H6 But to just choose a faction, an avatar, starting skill and hero special and "done!", that sounds pretty great! I hope i dont get distracted by this possibility too much. Otherwise i just end creating heros all day and not playing the game itself Like a violent version of "The Sims"

I pretty much agree, the first appearance killed Ashan for many. It still suffers from some of H5's mistakes.

To some extent, yes. However, you can't disprove that Heroes V was success also because of it's big popularity outside the old fandom.

A new game will enlarge the fan base, I don't deny that. Problem with Ashan is that it also divided it, but not lightly.

Oh then Liches are about cheating death and Vampires about feasting on life power of others. So no need for nosferatus, festers or whatever. As long as the basic attribute is fulfilled.. Or do you wish to rephrase that?
The basic attribute is obligatory, right? The rest is artistic touch on the present iteration of the creature, not artistic recreation.
However, there is not need to reinvent a unit for no reason. I can live with the fact that Vampire needs namtaru venom and ordinary blood... I can live that Liches are created by drinking namtaru venom and that they are not skeletal. But I cannot cope with the fact that Liches transform into the vampires... In that sense they should be one unit, not two. but it is the same silliness as Cerberus with two heads.

Haha i'm glad im not the only one with the tendency to get carried away with such things
@Galaad
@Stevie
Asking this question in the event would be really nice! Because if the hotseat/multiplayer hero options are limited that pretty much ruins the game for me  And that would be irritating, because so far the game seems to have so much good things going on in it.

This whole "Ashan world sucks" argument is just whining for the sake of whining. What if we shift back to the old Might and Magic setting, and bring a bunch of aliens with laser blasters in our "marvelous" medieval setting, see how they like it.
Ubi, just put money so the game isn't buggy. Whoever wants a nice story, get a book.

the cerberus thing was dumb because a simple rename would have solved it (unless they're actually called by name in the campaign, which would have meant rerecording) but given the chaotic nature of demons they can regain the 3rd head easily without having to retcon anything.

I think the main difference is NWC were much more subtle in their way of "borrowing" from others.

What an empty statement.
Borrowing is common in Fantasy, like everything else.
The trick is to not overdo it.

Don't bother with none o' that fancy graphics either.
Just keep it text-based. Much cheaper and easier when ironing out bugs.
