Playing Heroes 5, I felt sorry for some of the creatures from Heroes 3. Gargoyles – winged creatures that should inspire fear – in Heroes 5 turned into flying lumps of slag. Zombies, which were blue and corpse-colored, turned into thick, green chunks of… something. And I won’t even talk about the vampires. Does anyone else have any complaints?!

Well, this has been discussed many times already... I suggest you read the forum – all the complaints have already been voiced ;) As a result, many have come to terms with it...

Yes, gargoyles, definitely :D. And the zombies look like an alcoholic in a drunken stupor.
I think I've seen a similar topic somewhere before.

In my opinion, Heroes 3 is better because in Heroes 5, some creatures are drawn well, while others look terrible. But overall, Heroes 3 is better, and that's just my personal opinion.

I wouldn't say that.... It's hard to compare 3D with regular animation! The creatures are very well drawn! It's just that not everyone likes them!!!!:D :D

Okay. So, according to your judgment, a headless djinn is better than a normal one in Heroes 3, a gargoyle of unknown origin is better, or a titan - the governor of California - is better than the titan in Heroes 3, which had something in common with Greek culture. Vampire-samurai. And many more examples can be given. So, my point of

It's pointless to argue with Magnus, he'll criticize endlessly:(. But I still agree with you.:)

Hammer, let's ostracize Pjatka!:D :D :D
In my opinion, the creatures in the third game are much more realistic!

That's the problem. The developers disregarded realism and proportions and started doing things "however they wanted." With strong contrasts and extremes. With such "toy-like" units, the epic spirit and grandeur of Heroes are lost. Heroes 5, in terms of music and graphics, is a pathetic parody of the 3rd installment.

Haven:

Now, all people are no taller than a dwarf. Peasants, Paladins, and the hero Knights themselves suffer from this the most. Archer-conquistadors. Inquisitors in idiotic robes with no less idiotic "censers." Griffin mutants with a solid helmet. Paladins don't bother with protective armor, or they wear helmets with eye slits that express "I'm stupid." Angels are armed with swords that can barely be called swords. You can only hurt yourself with them. And also, the unnecessary "anime" style of the main building in the city.

Sylvan:

The length of the ears is too exaggerated.

And I much prefer the elves from Tolkien – yes, they love nature, but they don't live in trees. They are an image of perfection in everything, a well-rounded being – they use bows, wield swords superbly, are skilled blacksmiths, mages, and simply cultured people. With a desire for peace.

The image of the elves here is an extreme. A city-tree, everything is green, and sometimes there is aggression towards the surroundings. In general, the implementation of the race is not bad, but the idea is too contrasting.

Dark Elves:

The revealing costumes of the Furies and Matrons are unnecessary vulgarity. Yes, dark elf women wear revealing costumes, but not to that extent! Perhaps it spoils the immersion in the world. Although it looks beautiful.

The city itself is executed at a 3 out of 5. In addition, there are again long ears and pretentiousness.

Demons:

A categorical disregard for proportions, the toy-like nature of the units does not contribute to the perception of the race as evil. The city has a gray interior.

Mages:

A contrasting Castle, but it is quite well done if you compare it to other races.

Necromancers:

Green, stinky breath is at least not suitable for a game. Skeletons and zombies are toy-like.

That is, the main problem with half of the races: the style chosen is toy-like, anime-like, unrealistic, but beautiful. That is, everything looks beautiful, but it terribly breaks the feeling of the game. You look at it as if it were a program, not as a Game, as the 3rd installment was.

I agree, but the creatures in Heroes 3 are more beautiful.

Okay. So, according to your reasoning, a headless genie is better than a normal one in Heroes 3, a gargoyle of unclear origin is better, or a titan – the governor of California – is better than the titan in Heroes 3, which had something in common with Greek culture. Vampire-samurai. And there are many other examples. So, my point of view is that Heroes 3 is better in terms of the beauty of its units.

Okay! I'll answer you in order:
1.) Let's compare the genie from Heroes 3 and Heroes 5:
I don't want to say anything bad about Heroes 3, but the genie in it looks more like... a character from the Aladdin adventure (a cartoon for children, in case anyone doesn't know!).
But in Heroes 5... even though he's headless, he looks very menacing in his large hat!!! Don't you agree? If you still don't agree, then draw it the way it should be!:D :p Can't you?:cool: :p
2.) Gargoyle of unclear origin:
Of course, it doesn't look like the familiar character... but who said that it's not beautifully drawn????? In my opinion, it looks quite beautiful, even with the tombstone.
3.) Titan - the governor of California:
I think the titan looks great! Steel skin, lightning around... oh, it's beautiful, and as you know, in India (which is what the entire race is based on), they are used to decorating any part of the body with colorful, bright fabrics or things! So it's fair that he has such decorations on his arms!
4.) Vampire-samurai:
Tell me, my dear Magnus, how do you imagine a vampire?? Is it a hunched, old, wrinkled man with two yellow teeth that he can barely use to bite his victim? With a sword, he looks much more beautiful! And besides, this is an army, not a random guy from the street:) :) I think you understand me..
We have considered all the aspects that you didn't like, whether you agree with me or not is up to you, but I want to tell you!
The fact that most of the skins are drawn incorrectly is quite understandable!!! BUT YOU SHOULDN'T SAY THAT THEY AREN'T BEAUTIFUL!!!
You understand that we are talking about completely different things!!! So, if you want to prove your point, provide other arguments!

I believe that in Heroes 5, the creatures are much more impressive (considering the time difference between the games), but comparing certain things is pointless. It's like asking: what's better, a car or an airplane? In general, Heroes 3 is the best, as it was the one that started the era of Heroes games, and Heroes 5 is essentially the same as Heroes 3, but in a more modern version (I didn't mean to offend anyone with this).

So it's fair that he has such trinkets on his arms!

The Empire strikes back:

1. Djinn. So what if it's like in a cartoon? We were all kids, and if you were 5 years old, you would have been a huge fan of the Djinn from Heroes 3! And besides, he has a head!
2. Gargoyle. It turned out wrong. These things deny and spoil the Gargoyle series in Heroes!:mad: Let's remember Heroes 2, 3, and 4! That's where there are NORMAL Gargoyles! And what is this?!
...
3. Well, it's obvious here! The Titan is actually from Greek mythology, and even in fan art, they definitely weren't LIKE THAT(!)
Again, the traditions of Heroes regarding creatures have been violated (the best Titans are in Heroes 2 and 4!)! And the Nival developers are promoting our favorite Californian politician here! It would be okay to see him in some action game, but he's not suitable for Heroes at all!
4. Vampires! I won't express any dissatisfaction here, but it would be nice if they were like in Heroes 2 or 4, i.e., intelligent aristocrats:)

With that, I take my leave,
Darth Saruman.
