“Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East”

The first interview with the developers of Heroes V: Tribes of the East has been published on the Igry@mail.ru portal (http://games.mail.ru/platform/pc/interview/logichnyi_final/). It states that, in Nival's vision, orcs are the creation of archmages who mixed the blood of demons, human slaves, and criminals to create true warriors and use them to achieve victory over the demons (an original concept, but for some reason, I want to call these orcs "uruks" :)). Overall, the interview is interesting, and you can extract the following "bare facts" from it:

* Shamans are the only spellcasters among the orcs who use classic acceleration and deceleration spells and, if necessary, can sacrifice goblins to replenish their own magical energy.
* There will be three new Campaigns - for the orcs, the "academics," and the necromancers.
* The main villain of Dark Messiah, Arantir, will be the "face" of the new campaign for the necromancers.

Unfortunately, the unique abilities of the barbarian hero are described somewhat vaguely: "One of the unique abilities of the barbarian is the ability to 'weaken' enemy spells - the more developed it is in the hero, the weaker the enemy's attacks will be. He also has six battle cries at his disposal, the effectiveness of which is comparable to ordinary spells."
