I realise this game is a port from Russian and there's nothing wrong with being creative with a language but I feel the learning curve is made a lot steeper by the wording of things in the help files and the interface.
example:
The in game tutorial currently says after reaching level 2 in combat:
"Time has come to get onto a new level. Try yourself in group combats, fights, where a temporary ally is at your side."
Can be said in a much clearer and simple way, something like
"It's time to take things to a new level. Test your skills in group death matches with up to 3 other players"
Keeps the same meaning but is a lot clearer
Also the use of the word "level" to describe three different things like abilities, skills and character traits is confusing. |

You are right but I believe the idea was a bit different - to make tutorial guy to speak something like Old-English... which in fact he does not } |
I was thinking that most people won't necesasrily be native English speakers so something like
"It be-eth the hour to gird up thine loins and have at thine enemies with relish. Forge aliances temporary and not to vanquish thine foes"
would be unitelligible. :o |
| LOL we definitely have to make him speak like that :-PP |

haha, if he spoke like that would be so cool. Anyway, the tutorial guy's english isnt too difficult. It gives us players the feeling of being in medieval times you see. HoMM's english is way deeper =p |
