5 of 8 have no model to begin with.....

True, but I just want to know whether there will be more copy-pasted units or not.

The most important questions for me are:
1. Will there be RMG?
2. Will there be sim turns

I have a question regarding Necromancy. Will you be able to raise only skeletons, or will other creatures be also available to be raised, like in ToE?

GAME CONTENT

Adventure map

- In older Heroes, the Adventure Map was filled with places to visit, offering a wide variety of stuff to do.
In Heroes VI we saw a major step back, with very little to do on the Adventure Map. I'd like you to ask the Might & Magic about the variety of them, and to elaborate on this matter.

- How will boats work? Will there be mvt penalties while boarding/landing again? How rich will the sea area be? Will there be some unique sea combats features? Also, a major downside of all Heroes games is the lack of things to do in the sea area.

- Ambient sounds (will there be lots of them)?

- Will we have the creature of the week spawn? It was missing from Heroes VI, therefore leaves an empty area after hero defeated them. It is quick XP for eventual secondary heroes and contributed the map to be alive.

AI

- Has there been any work/changes/improvements done in regards to the AI H7 will use? More specifically: Will AI be good enough to use new terrain altering features (like repairing bridges etc.) effectively? And will those be available in random/custom maps and map editor?

- Speaking of AI, will it always target the same creature first, as it did previously? Or is work being done to fix it?
Case in point, I can remember having a big Inferno army, but not many Cerberi anymore. I had a stack of 50 Cerberi and 25+ Pitlords, disregarding all other stacks. Which get shot firts? Cerberi.  

- Will the AI have different personalities (builder/explorer/warrior)?

- Will AI be doing those suicide bomb-runs to weaken your army?(knowing it can't win it just enters battle, throws some armageddon or whatever strong spell or two before running, re-recruiting and repeat)

- Is harder difficulty just matter of how much AI cheats?

- Will AI see whole map again?(so it instantly knows where to run to reach you behind fog of war)

Artifacts

- Will we have artifact sets? If so, how will they work?

- Can we build our own artifacts?

- Will there be magic/might specific items like in h6?

- Will each race get race-specific arti-set? (in h5 where it gave extra bonus when "right" race used it)

Army management

- Can you upgrade war machines multiple times or will they end up as more of decorations again in long games?

- Can you use different factions war machines?

- Are war machine slots pre-set so you can't have 2 ballista instead of the basic ballista + sister for example?

- About creature-growth: Will the strong core for example have clearly bigger weekly strength than the "normal" cores?(based on the leaked alpha stats for haven units and growth shown from adventure maps haven core-dwelling on demo they were rather equals)

Battles

- Will the units, that hide behind other units get less damage as well or only if the thing in front is a tree/pebble/obstacle and not a creature?

- Will I be able to choose my archers to do melee attack instead of ranged sometimes, or some strike and return creature to strike, and not return?

- How will flanking work?

- Will the targeting angle matter when you shoot a hiding behind an obstacle creature and if yes - how?

- Will they add creature relations (for example Angels hate Devils and vice versa)?

- Will there be wider variety again in units movements speed? In Heroes VI, almost all core tier units had same speed and that made battles a bit linear on tactical aspect. Moreover since in Heroes VII we have lesser units abilities.

- Will you be able to fast-forward animation without speeding up the audio?

- Will there be spells that effect terrain-movement cost like quick-sand for example? (this applies to both in battle and on adventure map)

Factions skills

- Will they be similar in leveling up to other skills (like in Heroes V) or will they get on the next level automatically, after a specific hero's level is reached (like in Heroes VI)?

Hero classes

- How different are the various Hero classes going to be? We know that they specialize in different skills, but what does that mean? Will they get different skillwheels? Will they be aesthetically different?

- Are different hero classes assignable or preset?
Case in point: Say I select a Haven Might Hero, say Tyris, that has a certain specialty, assuming those are still in. Is she defined from the start as a Vindicator? Or can I assign her either of the 3 Haven classes, being Vindicator, Knight and Paladin?

Heroes

- I want to know if all heroes will be available from the beginning, for us that like scenario games. In H6 you had to start campaign to get some pre-made heroes to play with.

- Mind asking about create-a-hero? i really liked that feature and would love to see it return.

- Also confirm (if there is no create-a-hero) if there is a variety of heroes with different abilities to choose from in the hotseat/multiplayer mode (like in H3 and H5) straight out of the box without any in-game purchases or without completing any campaign missions...

- Will the heroes available to buy only differ in the portraits (like in H6) or will each one of them have a unique skill linked to them (like in H3/5)?

Magic system

- Speaking about magic system - will cooldowns of spells come back from Heroes VI? Another one - in Heroes VI spells costed a significant amount of mana. Will spells become "cheaper" in Heroes VII?

Neutrals

- Is their going to be more than unusual things to fight that would be grand?

- Will there be Gold Dragons as neutral units in H7? If not, are you planning to include them as recruitable units in the future?

Skill system

- Are you able to boost your racial skill via different abilities? (like necromancy in h5 via ability in enlightenment)

- Will there be ultimate ability for each faction?(as in the center skill of the wheel in h5)

- How will necromancy work? Will you be able to raise different types of units like h5 and will there be limit to how much you can raise?

- Regarding previous question how will necro units fare compared to other factions stats-wise? H6 introduced necro units as equals to their living counter-parts(Heck spectral dragon was better than it's living counter-part black dragon)

Towns

- How does the Thieve's guild and Hall of Heroes will work in H7?

- Will there be different starter armies for heroes when you recruit them?(In h6 I think all armies were something like 2:1 or 1:1 ratio of two units while in h5 there were heroes with haven for example who only purely had peasants, archers or footman while "normal" hero was mixture of tier 1 and tier 2 with possibility for couple tier 3. Also some heroes could have a single t4 or even t5 unit at start).

- Will new heroes from tavern be level 1 like pre-h6 or are they going to be same level or -5 levels compared to main hero á la h6? Or something different?

- Forts: How many times can you upgrade them to boost their troops? If player defends at fort will they get the "boost"-troops in battle aside their army and how it will exactly work?

- Will upgrading walls still boost troop-growth or is this purely done by governor/grail?

Townscreens

- How far are the townscreens in the development? How much more can we expect from them?

Units abilities

- When Haven and Academy creatures abilities were revealed, many of us were upset to see there were some replicates (Sweeping, Piercing Shot). In a concern of getting a stronger feeling of uniqueness within each faction, is there a possibility to enrich the system and avoid replicates?

- How will stalker, crossbowman and disciple truly differ from each other? (aside mage having nova and being bigger unit) Piercing shot used to be very unique ability, but suddenly half the factions have it which is rather disappointing. (Same with vampire and hydra having same exact abilities aside undead(or will hydra get sweeping too?))

USER SUPPORT

Campaign editor

- Will it be available from the start?

Map editor

- The thing I would like to know is the map editor - and specifically, scripting. Heroes5 had a scripting engine which was actually quite powerful and I've used it extensively to make some personal maps as well as analyse the code behind campaign maps. How is this being handled in Heroes7? What will the scripting engine be like, in that game?

Maps & Scenarios

- Approximately how many scenarios can we expect in H7?
- Will there be more maps "out of the box" than in H6?

Modding

- Is the file structure well thought & organized? And I didn't mess with H6 but if the "breeding-maps" problem still exists maybe a Shell for the map in-play?

- What format for the music this time? and maybe this time the tunes will cycle to prevent broken-strings.

Random Map Generator

- Will there be one?

Simultaneous turns

- Will we have them?
