Yeah, this is what confuses me. The Standard and Collectors versions mention the pre-order offer of the additional artefacts and portraits, but the Deluxe version does not.
It says "plus some exclusive in-game bonuses" which I guess could mean the same content of the other editions, but I want to make doubly sure before I pick one to buy.

there was also a selection of strategy games and one of them was Heroes... V. I find it truly heart-warming that despite its quite old age (it has 10 years!), it is still considered to be a game worth showing to the youngest gamers. 
well it might as well have been written by the youngest

Ubi-Nox is so nice today and answers people's questions, he posted recently descriptions for Metamagic, Fire spells and Light spells:
...
Light magic is one huge disappointment, I expected the school to contain strong buffs, but what are these buffs? Celestial armor and retribution. First one is kind of useful in fights with small armies but gets dispelled on the first hit when army size grows to average. Can't comment on the utility of second - never used it once.
I assume heal spell only heals first creature in the stack and does nothing else, like regeneration.
Fire magic is what everyone will use when the class has access to it.

The UI's so broken it's unbelievable.
I agree that the UI has problems. I disagree on the word broken since the game is functioning. However, I would be interested to hear from you how optimized a UI should be during beta.
I need to police myself here. Both Xavier and Julien referred to the UI as broken themselves in the stream. While I still disagree with the choice of word, they said. Stevie, I owe you an apology. Sorry, man.

Here is the leaked video of Haven:
Haven Video
On H7 forum Ubi-Nox has said it is not finished yet (no commentary).
What do you all think?
What really bothers me and hits my eyes are the colours. The colours in the game are very wearisome and the grey impression is overbearing for me. Is it just the video or the game is really going to be that somber? I have never had a problem with colours in any game but it's very unpleasant to look at the screen in H7.

It seems a little washed out by light to me--like the bloom is too high or something. Interesting to see a couple new things in there.

I for one really like the more washed out colors. Makes it seem a bit grittier and a little less childish to me.
Anyone else notice the "Week of the Gargoyle"? Unfortunately it is still the Hall of Heroes and not a Tavern though.

It is still unamusing how the battles will still be long. Even a single champ unit cannot kill more than 10 core creatures. Guess the Quick Combat tag should be activated... mostly.
My main concerns about the game are battles, specializations, spells and skills. And from what it looks like, they learned nothing about these features, regarding from H6. Just because they edited a bit of this and a bit of that does not make it a huge improvement.
If they do these things properly, the game may just feel better.
Anyway, back to the video, it seems their priority are the graphics. Even the save menu looks improved, in form of a book, but do they really think graphics are everything there is to it?

Part of the video is messed up. Bah, better pretend it never happened. May even give people seizures and eye twitches.

couple of things:
colours look very washed out and dull. saturize moar, pls!
buildings are way too cheap.
duck of wolf lol. that would be very interesting though...
Haven creature portraits are still completely indistinguishable.
battle camera is still too zoomed out. zoom in a bit and widen the battlefield with about 5 squares.
attack animations are quicker than h5-6 though not quick enough.
lol, even the developers seem to realize the creature specializations are snow for a main hero.
OPERA! good music 
still, positive feelings all around. too bad Ubisoft is sliming all over it

Yeah, I am still pretty excited about how this seems to blend what I liked about VI with good features from III, IV, and V. The big test will be how good they are at squashing the bugs we report in beta. It didn't go well with VI, and the technical problems with some poorly executed but interesting design elements cause the game to chase off a lot of the fan base at launch.

Why, The purpouse is to show the game, not to show how it is played well... If they would play it as "we" do you would not get a full impression of some features.

Now I know it is just a beta... But I can hardly contain my excitement
Anyway, can somebody create an official beta thread? To discuss the beta in general and look for multiplayer players, etc.
I would do so myself but hard to do so on an IPhone, lol.

The guy playing on that video really sucks. He shoots small shooter stacks already engaged in melee rather than the big ones free to shoot, he doesn't shoot the stack soon to be attacked by his melee to reduce the retaliation they take, shoots an enemy shooter that just played their turn rather than one that's about to, doesn't gang his 2 melee on the same unit for flanking bonus and instead decides to block the smallest, most insignificant shooting stack with his praetorians.

The only thread I'm certain to start is a review thread where I will post my thoughts about the game. I don't feel like doing multiplayer mode due to the requirement of port forwarding. I'm not the only one using the router, and I'm not going to open the floodgates just because I want to play MP . That's why H6's way of MP is better, you can just connect and be done with it.
Besides, I want to get the hang of single player first before even considering playing against real-life opponents. But yes, the hype increases by the minute. I really look forward to it.
