- Comparison of creatures from Heroes 5 with creatures in Heroes 3.

I like some of them selectively. Regarding the most "controversial" creatures:

Djinn - I like Nival's idea, but I can't objectively evaluate 3D models of this quality.
Gargoyles - I like the "furniture" versions. At least they aren't the stretched-out gargoyles from Heroes 2 and the incomprehensible little devils from Heroes 3. A gargoyle should be as compact and hunched as possible, and its entire appearance should remind you that it's made of stone. Do you feel the "stone" in Heroes 3? I don't believe it...
Mages - these snotty old men who sneeze and wipe their noses every two minutes. They look like old junk dealers from some Arabian tale, and they probably came from there. They are one of the few characters that I really(!) like in Heroes 5. I respect Nival. In Heroes 3, they are a rather standardized character (especially the white-bearded archmage).
Cerberuses - in Heroes 5, they are lizards, not dogs. I don't like the body, but I like the head.
Peasants - they were disliked in Heroes 3, and they are still disliked in Heroes 5. Apparently, things aren't so bad in the kingdom, since we see fat people with slightly dull faces who have grown bellies. In my opinion, the ideal peasant (if we consider the series as a whole) is the one from Heroes 2, but compared to the "collective farm women" from Heroes 3, the version offered in Heroes 5 is quite good. At least you can tell they are men.
Devils - are these hunchbacks in armor the same well-built, handsome devils from Heroes 3? I don't believe it... xDDD I somehow initially mistook them for ogres. A big minus to the designers of Heroes 5.
Vampires - I don't understand why these creatures must necessarily look like Dracula from the "Van Helsing" movie with Hugh Jackman... After all, their animalistic faces from Heroes 3 look much more original.
Liches - a solid 5+ for Heroes 5. Not so much for the appearance, but for the special effects and animation (the close-range dagger attack...). In Heroes 3, liches are ragged princesses. )))
