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

By the way, the djinns from the 3rd game are a perfect fit for the role of djinns. After all, all their attributes are present: blue skin, a vortex of magical energy instead of legs. And these attributes are not so much from the cartoon – there are films in which the approach to depicting djinns is exactly the same. Therefore, the djinns in the 3rd game are quite normal, and most importantly, they fit into the Castle.

I think you understand everything yourself... if there are cartoon-like characters in Heroes, people definitely won't play it... unless they are children...:o

I cannot agree, because in the 5th Heroes, the graphics are most similar to children's animation and cartoons. More precisely, the similarity lies in the absence of human proportions and other body proportions in half of the races. Or mega-long ears...

But in the 3rd game, there is classic fantasy graphics with minor distortions. Goblins, for example. But almost all creatures are made in one, realistic style; you feel the world. And Heroes 5 is a mishmash – each race has a new way of depicting a unit. And some of them are not very beautiful – the Haven gnomes, as the first and most striking example.

And the question is: why should a fantasy game be realistic?????

That's a silly question. If the game is serious and for a relatively adult audience, then the graphics should also be made in a realistic manner. The same Dark Messiah Of M&M made the most positive impression and rehabilitated the world of Ashan in my eyes after the incoherent and too contrasting style of graphics in Heroes 5. In other words, immersion in the world is provided by that very realistic graphics, in contrast to the disproportionate chaos (to some extent) in Heroes 5.

Then give liches, necromancers, a sword, armor, and other attributes:D :D

By the way, skeletons wear swords and armor. Zombies wear axes (which is illogical, by the way). And liches wear armor and staves. Knowledge is knowledge, but you can't win much with it alone...
