Heroes 6 - Discussion

I've read a lot that there are many people who didn't like the game, but I personally enjoyed it, even very much, and I don't understand why some are so upset (but, as they say, taste is subjective... so I'm not arguing with anyone) :D It's a shame, of course, that they removed some factions, and the Nagas didn't really appeal to me, but that's a separate story with its own characters and plot, so it's good that they didn't cram everything together. I'll be waiting for the expansions (even if I can't imagine how long that will take), and I don't believe the bankruptcy rumors; I agree with Adagio and think it's just gossip.
And I have a question (I don't know if I should ask it here or not) - how old are Slava's children? It's not written in the manual, and there's no information online, but I recently had a suspicion that they are a little younger than I thought. I want to read your opinion on this matter :D
