Heroes VII

Why is that? In the third game, they were drawn very well. They still look beautiful.

The issue is less about the drawing style and more about the overall concept.

Honestly, I don't understand why they put these "landsknechts" in the same category as the Seraphim. They could have at least used the solar steeds from the sixth game, and that would have been better. But these are just some crazy... things... I think they've been around since Heroes 2.

Obviously, yes, it's a reference to the second game (although they were the only seventh-level unit there). And to some extent, to the fourth game... As I understand it, the goal isn't to create a competitor to the angels, but to create a cheaper alternative for faster gameplay (although I haven't reached them in my game yet, so I can't compare).
