I found this on one of the websites:
One of the French insiders on the Archangelcastle.com website shared new information about the heroes...
* The 4th faction will be announced in November. It has been mentioned before.
* The 5th faction will be new and will be announced only in January.
* Creatures belonging to the same category (core, elite) will have similar stats, but their special abilities will determine their role on the battlefield.
* During a siege, you will be able to place a unit of archers on the main tower of the castle.
* Moats will be reintroduced.
* Creatures will have active and passive abilities (for example, Griffins will have their Dive ability).
* A kind of "line of sight" system will be used in battle (a shot that damages all creatures standing in a line, like the mages in Heroes 5).
* Creatures will not be allowed to move on the global map without a hero.
* Focus points and the system of recruiting creatures from dwellings are designed to emphasize the development of the main Hero, instead of messing around with secondary heroes and creating chains of them.
* The Phoenix will be a neutral creature. It will be blue (azure) because it is associated with the Moon. (Ubisoft is creating its own bestiary for the M&M universe).
* Rebuilding cities will be a very expensive undertaking and will take several turns (the exact number is not specified). The player will be able to stop the city conversion process by attacking the city and interrupting the process (it is not specified whether this will happen automatically or whether you will need to click on something).
* During city conversion, buildings common to all cities will not be destroyed (market, tavern, town hall).
* At the beginning of each map, scrolling will show the "sights" of that map (similar to King's Bounty, when you first visit a new island).
* Battlefields with bosses will have a "special" design.
* A lot of work has been done on the animation of each creature: passive, dealing damage, taking damage (it seems that griffins scream terribly).
* Svetlana has a sexy voice :)

Maybe you've already posted it, but I don't think so.
