Heroes 6 - News

#30
Auto-translated
The fourth Fortress (Orcs) faction. Information from the official website http://mightandmagic.de.ubi.com/index2.php. There are also artworks of three units and mentions of some other units.
I'll add that the orcs look great, and the "Jungle" units, judging by their clothing (or rather, the lack of it) and the Indian-style paint, seem to have found their inhabitants.

Dear Heroes fans!
Today, we are pleased to present you with the fourth faction of Heroes 6: Fortress, which will include orcs, goblins, cyclops, and other mythical creatures.

Core units:
Rippers
Lightly armored but heavily armed, Rippers are excellent offensive units. They prefer to pounce on enemies and tear them apart. But their legs then need rest (I'm not sure about this phrase; it's possible the meaning is the opposite, that they hardly need rest). The Rippers' shields serve not only as decoration but also as reliable protection against direct and ranged attacks.

Destroyers are an upgrade of Rippers.

Harpies
Harpies are half-bird hunters who originally served as scouts, messengers, or light infantry in the army of Mages, but later won their freedom. They became allies of the orcs and were always revered as the favorite children of the God of the Sky.
The Harpies' home is on the tropical island of Pao, which is why their clothing and colors are related to it.

Furies are an upgrade of Harpies.

Goblins.
Goblins are small, thin, and physically very weak creatures, the result of failed experiments in creating orcs. Goblins are known for their inattention, stupidity, and cunning, but they are also very agile and fast, which helps them save their necks. Therefore, they prefer to attack only in large numbers, using various kinds of traps and snares, which are dangerous because of their unpredictability (I didn't quite understand this phrase; literally, it sounds like "which we should be afraid of because they were not created by masters." That is, goblins seem to build everything in a hurry, so all their traps are unstable and unpredictable).
In the orc army, Goblins are mainly used as scouts, light infantry, or for sacrifices.

Goblin Hunters are an upgrade of Goblins.
