Those are not the regular Haven units, but Renegades.

I thought the new thing was the runic magic which 'has never been done before' is a concept 'new to heroes'.

Renegades are part of the Campaign. They are group of citizens, that split from Holy Griffin empire to fight against the demon onslaught even more ferociously. They are generaly stronger than standart Humans and can only be recruited at their dwelling on the adventure map.

Well, then who are they? From all the information, that I have seen about them, it seems that they are independent militia for dealing with the invasion of demons.

The map editor, the article from Russian magazine, that initialy annouced the expansion, some forums and web pages. For example, this one: http://www.ag.ru/news/30-08-2006#16463.

That drake(yes,drake,not a dragon)sure is ugly :ill: I love the dwarves though.And as for the renegades,it might just be a different skin,but the abilities dont have to differ.And I hope they dont put that dumb helmet on inquisitors in the last moment again :disagree:

Your point being?All 5 are white males with different equipment.So how does that make them unique?
Unique among other races. All other races back in the day had various creatures. Thing that Haven had only(or majority) humans made them unique from other towns in H1-H4.
So,if someone says 5 dwarves you automatically asume all 5 are of the same race of dwarves,but 7 demons,hey each is unique and different from the other?
Look at those renders of dwarves, then look at imp and at pit lord :)
No,not humanoids,but humans.Check the ears on the corpses:None of them is elven.Check the legs and heads:None of them is demonic.Check their height:None of them is dwarven.They are all human corpses.Even though it says that necros raise all of their fallen enemies,the units are all depicted as humans.I repeatedly suggested how it would be much better if we had,for example,elven vampires,dwarven zombies,succubi liches,etc.But for now,they are all just human corpses,human skeletons and human spirits.
That would be too much work and hard to do, we would have 7 stacks of different zombies?
Lore wise it`s clear, necros are raising anything that was moving and now isn`t moving.

nmaybe the unupgraded is ugly, but the upgraded looks pretty nice i think. and while the abilities may be the same, that doesnt mean the cant be stronger overall. and would these renegades be just for haven, or for all races? cause that would make the game very interesting.

So?Put a black guy and a white guy next to each other.They differ only by skin colour(externally).These dwarves differ a lot in size.Even more so,put an elf next to a human in this game.Aside from ears theres not much difference(except for pixies).

No,you missunderstood.I meant make,for example,vampires look like they were made from elves(give them the ears,make them slimmer,with that long hair,etc),make the zombies look like dwarves(make them smaller and fatter),make liches look like demons(give them horns),etc.Not making different zombie stack for each race,but make zombies differ from vampires(both human corpses).Manes could be three different ghosts,not just three human spirits.
