What's so "easter egg" about a stupid, worthless tank in the middle of nowhere … while the user-interface is so botched & the AI is so crappy? Nival would have done better spending its development time on things which made the game better than on ridiculous "jokes" nobody even gets.
Ok... I think there should be some sort of a psychological experiment conducted in order to understand the behaviour of hardcore players of some series.
Maybe the thought is something along the line since the game is not perfect, or up to standards, the developers are not allowed to eat, drink, bath, have fun and put some jokes here and there?

It would have taken less than half an hour to get the tank in. Nival might have take a not so stellar job on Heroes V, but stop demonizing them, please.

Well there are jokes and there are jokes... why there's a tank there I don't see, might have been a toaster or a particle accelerator for all I get of the joke.

The frustration of it is understandable, at least for me. I think easter eggs and gratuitous jokes are stuff to be added on top of a finished game, not in the midst of a mess (more or less). Not that I think it mattered much in this case, one way or the other, but seeing daft jokes in an unfinished game is yet another thing to build up steam in already cranky players.

They keep the tank but fix a few of the more obvious spelling/grammar mistakes?

Whoever has this free time should devote it to making the game better ;)

though im still at the "OMG WHY doesnt this game work with my intergrated graphics card :(" part. i hate game developers that require high end graphics cards to play at minimum settings. i always liked heroes of might and magic for the strategy.. not the flashy graphics >_<
integrated graphics chips are pieces of shit. It barely runs several year old games well. Stop being cheap and go get a decent vid card that is not integrated.
