Gamehuntera, if you want to talk not about races, but about the game mechanics, please express your ideas.
Regarding Ves, I thought they were developing the Kremlin, and Ves would have to be finished. Regarding the Harbor, yes, maybe we should wait for the Harbor to be released and tailor it for Ascension (if STORM doesn't mind). Regarding the Chinese, I'm not advertising that it's Chinese culture; it's just obvious to everyone (just like with Rampart and Academy). Besides, the Ziggurat is a pseudo-culture of the Aztecs, and Ves is for the Slavs, and you are for them. Read at the beginning of the page about the Pagoda and tell me what is not fantasy-like there (by the way, I haven't received a single comment about the Pagoda from anyone. Is everything so good?).
Andrey, I'm actually going to create a mod for the 3rd game. Justification:
1. It's technically easier.
2. The heroes are more diverse.
3. The heroes are more popular (debatable).
Machete, thank you very much! Maybe you can help us with something? As you can see, we are currently gathering ideas and criticizing what I have created. ;)
Here is the dialogue that took place between me and Nowizard in the philosophy section (regarding good and evil races): Wiz: Everything in this world has both a good and an evil side. There is no absolute evil or absolute good. Everything has flaws; there is something good in everything. That's what I wanted to do: to have evil elves and good elves, evil orcs and good orcs. At first glance, it sounds silly, but if you imagine it in perspective... Remember the orcs from "The Lord of the Rings" and compare them to the orcs from "Warcraft III." Isn't there a difference? And I'm not going to divide the elves into light and dark, like in Lineage II; there will be fun and good-natured elves, and there will be arrogant and vain elves. The same goes for dark elves: there will be those who simply like to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, who enjoy darkness or at least twilight... And there will be other dark elves who value power above all else, who are willing to do anything to achieve their goal, no matter what it is and no matter what means they use... Me: Great idea, but imagine how many races, units, heroes, etc., you would have to create, and you still need to introduce new races (like the Chinese). Oh well... Although, you could introduce a third type of elf, like there are forest elves (Rampart), Dark Elves, and then there would be High Elves (like the Altmer from TES or the Rivendell elves from The Lord of the Rings). I'll think about it; maybe we can already divide some of them, like humans (Castle) - good, humans (Pagoda) - evil, elves are already divided, and we'll come up with something else. Again, I have to repeat myself – maybe it's time to organize the Ascension team, as they did in Harbor and DTT on DF2?
