Were 7 heroes inspired?

Perhaps, partially.

It would be good if Wolves got their howl ability back, otherwise they are weaker than Griffins.

It would be good if Wolves got the Howl ability back, otherwise they turn out to be weaker than Griffins.

Do you want them to be stronger than Griffins? Howl, combined with pack hunting, is a very strong ability, both for clearing maps and in final battles. It only belongs to neutral creatures.

Do you want them to be stronger than griffins? Howl combined with pack hunting is a very strong ability, both in the early game and the endgame. It belongs only with neutrals.

In theory, the build order could be changed - let wolves be available from city level 12 instead of 9, or give Howl only to the upgrade, while increasing the cost of upgrading the building

maybe it's worth using my wolf texture for the war dog? otherwise he somehow gets lost against the backdrop of the epic black wolf

Well, if you provide a wolf texture, I'll use it. But I'll also have to create an icon.
As for the balance, it's not great right now, but the mod was made in a hurry.

Feel free to use the texture; I don't mind. I'm a big fan of using other people's work without asking:D

And the wolf moves separately from the goblin, right?

But doesn't the wolf move separately from the goblin?

Yes, the goblin is attached to the wolf model as an effect.

And what about the icon?

I think it would be good to swap the "Fierce" and "Combat" icons to maintain the concept of defensive and offensive units. But then the sequence of names would be disrupted.

Replacing wolves with griffins is certainly interesting, but what about the heroine Iris, who has the "Griffin Trainer" specialization (Griffins, royal griffins, and battle griffins in the hero's army receive +1 to defense and attack for every two levels of the hero, starting from the first. Griffins gain the "Sky Strike" ability.)?!

Fixed the icon for the ferocious wolves, changed the texture for the war dogs, gave Iris the "Favored by the Gods" specialization, and rewrote some paths in the archive. All that's left is to create an icon for the dogs, but I'm not very good at that.

In the meantime, I'll show you some progress on the next mod, which will replace zombies with ghouls (models by Lokken). Unfortunately, there are only two ghouls ready, and I'll create the third one myself.
The one that is currently called the "insatiable" will most likely be an attacking alt. The defensive one will be greenish, for example.

It’s been a while since I was last here.
Here are the first versions of the undead creatures.
