Two words: ROYAL GRIFFIN. Can't wait.

I would also love to see a stronger Snake unit. One can wish.

Great pictures, awesome new units. More than ever I dont understand how some people can be mad at playing with the princess: I mean, look at her.

The bosses are really cool too, specially the Big Daddy one and the other that loos like an Archdevil from HoMM 5.

EDIT: wait a sec, whats going on here:

Could that be the final boss battle? I am thinking this because that picture is of the warrior character, Bill Gilbert, who is supposed to help Amelie somehow in the expansion.

Maybe, and probably since he is marked green he is ally and played by computer.At least its what i think

Nice screens.
Nike-it, do you know where the text files are located in the expansion (the texts from the game). I might get a copy in russian and do an online translation for the files. Even if it is a poor translation it will be somewhat usefull (I wish I studied Russian in school along with French and English)

First of all, I don't know this info, and second, I would suggest not doing such translation, as it will be very far from even poor translation. The KB is not a game which can be translated this way as you will lose not only the great and interesting storyline, but mostly all gags and funny things, created by the devs.

Oh God, I hope he isn't controlled by the computer. Think about it, any and all strategies can be ruined by one dumb move on the part of your ostensible ally. For example, there might be a powerful stack of level 4 enemy units that you have no hope of killing in one turn, but need to keep out of the battle for a while, so you spend 20 mana to blind them. Then Idiot McComputerplayer casts fire arrow (or uses a stronger but still inadequate spell, or just attacks the stack) and lo and behold, you have an enemy that can attack/cast/whatever and 20 less mana.

I got your point but i doubt boss can be blinded ^^ ( never tried tough)
I dont know what domestic dragons abilities are but i hope he got some crowd control/defensive abilities. At this moment i cant imagine playing hard or impossible without time back,ice thorn,ice ball,stone wall

You're right, I forgot that it was a superboss that was the enemy for that fight, but my point still stands to a certain extent - in the original game defeating the superbosses was simple (and without losses) with a little application of strategy, and I still fear that the computer player could wreck it, but we'll have to see.

I'm too lazy to correct the above run-on sentence.
