A scan from a polish mag.
Age of Heroes summed it up:
A post on ubi forums shows a scan from from a Polish magazine article. There's a battle screenshoot with some of the combat dynamics explained:
• The battlefield will be 8x10 squares, this was decided after many tests.
• Heroes cannot be attacked but they can attack enemy creatures and cast spells.
• "Dynamic Mode" will give you only 10-15 seconds to move each creature.
• Tactics phase: before the battle, both sides will place their units on the first two rows of battlefield.
• Initiative bar shows the order in which creatures get their turn to act - it depends on the creatures' initiative, spells cast on them, etc.
The article also talks about the Ghost Mode. When enabled, a player will be able to control a "ghost" during the opponent's turn and move it around on the opponent's territory. Ghost can: haunt, posess, curse, devour, guard and vision. Posessing a neutral stack gives the ghost's owner battle control of the neutrals when the opponent attacks them.
Man that progress bar looks bad. It looked better before.
Damn typos...
