Vote for the Sylvan Lineup!
After having decided that the fifth faction of <i>Heroes VII</i> will be Sylvan, the Shadow Council site now offers another voting opportunity for the fans: voting for the creature lineup. Good news for those afraid of having a faction full of elves; there is ample opportunity here to make sure the Sylvan faction contains creatures as well. Creatures such as treants, pixies, unicorns, phoenixes, dragons and snakes.

I like being able to choose between dragons and phoenixes as champion creatures.

Why in the Ancients name isn't he Unicorn in the same line up as the Phoenix???
And all the line ups contain way too many elves...
But Phoenix it is then, it's about time they came back to a town lineup...

Hmm, it probably would have been better if they revealed the line-ups during the faction vote, but whatever.
TT is right, there should be two or less elves/race unit for any faction. Although there doesn't seem to be much variation between the choices, phoenix vs dragon is the winner for me. However, seeing artworks of all the units could swing my vote, but no artworks.
I don't quite understand the difference in strategy between the variants, especially when the majority of the line-up doesn't change. Are the same units getting different skills based on which variation you choose?

@TT:
I second that. All of it. I would have liked phoenix + unicorn, but given the choices I voted for the phoenix lineup anyway. Perhaps the emerald knight will ride a unicorn. :p
Since the treant unit is in the lineup one way or another, I don't see why would anyone not vote for the phoenix lineup.

I like snakes and unicorns, so Strength it is.

Wouldn't mind a lineup with the Phoenix and the Treant as the mutual exclusive champion units. Dragons should be very limited, far stronger than a champion unit and only available througout key moments in the campaign where it fits the story ark. Same for the dragons in other Factions. I complettly dislike the idea of dragons as ordinary units.
And what is a emerald knight? Serious question - i ve got no idea what this is supposed to be ...

I totally agree with no Dragons as units. With the creatures named, my favorite faction would consist of hunters, dryads, pixies, unicorns, druids, blade dancers, phoenixes and treants. Just make phoenixes a bit more offensive than described, you're good to go. Seriously, I don't know why this line-up is not offered... Three elf units and mystical forest creatures... Doesn't get better
Closest one is the Fury line-up. Just get rid of the Dragons for Phoenixes and Deer (seriously!!???) for Unicorns.

I believe in science and that science can explain everything.

clearly alot of inspiration from warhammer games. I mean Treant, dryads, blade dancers.. have to agree with gryphon's line-up suggestion

Ubisoft has borrowed heavily from Warhammer Fantasy ideas and aesthetics from the get-go. Even though I'm a Warhammer fan, I think this "inspiration" is way too blunt and obvious.

@Karmakeld:
Seriously? Treants and dryads imply a Warhammer influence? Didn't they exist for like thousands of years? Weren't then used by numerous fantasy novels, games and dungeons and dragons RPGs?

@hellegennes, you obviously know more about the fantasy lore than I do, I just knew these specific creatures from warhammer which I used to collect and paint many years ago. Not implying that warhammer is their origin, but merely comparing to the lastest heroes games. I used the wardancer idea myself in my campaign, so in no way I did I say it was bad inspiration, hence I don't see the reason for the harsh tone.. (or maybe I misinterpreted your words)

I thought from the initial vote that Sylvan would be all guerrilla warfare and light fast strikes i.e. Sylanna's Fury (which is why I chose Elves as it would make a good contrast to the other factions). So I guess its Sylanna's Fury for me.

@ Karmakeld and hellegennes:
What strongly hints at a Warhammer Fantasy influence is the very specific combination of treants (treemen), dryads, and especially blade dancers (war dancers). It's about as telling as giving a dwarven faction Troll Slayers.
