Dreams.

As usual, I had a lot of dreams, but at some point, I went to a website with games (probably old ones) and found a strategy game similar to Heroes, which was similar to another strategy game in the style of Heroes that I found before it, but it was worse. It's funny that I didn't remember the "good" one, but I remembered this "worse" one a little. And there was also a feeling that everything else on the site was garbage; instead of titles, there were just empty lines, as if they hadn't loaded. So, I didn't get to the gameplay itself, but the preparation seemed interesting, although after a whole day, I had almost forgotten the image. The point was that after choosing a Faction, you start creating your hero (or maybe not just him). I remember choosing some Minotaurs, or maybe it was just a local dungeon. And if I'm not mistaken, he was sitting on some huge thing, and then I either changed the head to the head of one of the available units or added a second one. In short, the units there were somehow quite mixed. I remember adding some skeletal faces, demonic ones, and even one that looked like it was from a Hydra, and something horse-like, like a dead Nightmare (I think some demonic ones were placed on top of the main head, and maybe skeletal ones, and also a long snout of some kind). And each of them had its own name, although I only remember one demon head that was somehow called "beautiful"; maybe the unit itself was called that. It was a typical red-skinned demon, but beautifully drawn and really a demon, not some garbage from Heroes 5 and other parts. And I'm almost sure that all these units were from that Faction, which surprised me a little, because where have you seen that (except in Heroes 4), that demons hang out with undead, plus some guys from a dungeon? Maybe it was possible to customize not only heroes but also the creatures themselves in the same way, although it's unlikely. And I think these upgrades gave some bonuses, not just visually decorating the hero. Visually, it was all in a relatively old 2D style, maybe a little similar to Songs of Conquest, but prettier and less pixelated. I think it even came out before Heroes 3, although it actually looked better
