Posts from HEROES. LIGHT and DARK

Dear forum members,:)
I noticed that the topic about level 8 is rather weak, so I want to share my ideas about a COMPLETE overhaul of Heroes of Might and Magic V...
Initially, I planned to simply find out what others think, but now I want to share my own ideas...
Maybe someone will support me...

The main idea is to fundamentally change the races and creatures (and the plot), leaving the gameplay untouched...

LIGHT AND DARKNESS is my vision of what Heroes of Might and Magic could be; I'm not forcing you to compare it to the original.

Well, let's start...:smile11:

So, forget about the world of Ashan; here, the order and beliefs are completely different...

Let's start, perhaps, with the races...

Added 7 minutes ago
There will be 12 of them. Each race has 8 levels of creatures, which in total gives 200 different units...

1. Empire (Castle)
2. Wood Elves (Arbor)
3. Atlanteans (ancient race, Colosseum)
4. Solarians (mages) (eastern race, Oasis)
5. Dwarves (Bastion)
6. Elementals (it's clear, right?)
7. Horde (orcs and nomads) Asylum
8. Dark Elves (Dungeon, looks like a rotten tree)
9. Archanids (ancient tribes of jungles and swamps) Pyramid
10. Necropolis
11. Inferno
12. Sea race

Here's the question. Is this just a fantasy or a realistically feasible idea? I think it's just fantasies and dreams, right?

I didn't include enough snippets...
You can't really do much with just the names of the 12 factions. Where is the rest?:) I hope there is more and that this isn't all.
You can't say anything based on this...
although:

The Dungeon looks like a rotten tree.

I've already seen something like that somewhere ;) in one of my favorite worlds. I like it:)

I'll tell you everything; I've been developing this concept for a year now...
And all the races are unique and different...
The only problem is with the Elementals; it's very difficult to come up with units for them, but I'll try...
And regarding the imagination... it's just an idea for now, but believe me, it's much more realistic than the races offered in Ascension...

And I haven't seen a decaying tree used as a city anywhere else... Elves live in forests on a giant tree, and the Dark Elves can live on the same type of tree, but old and abandoned...

I don't have much time to write about everything right now, but I'll choose a day and tell you about everyone in detail.

The difference between humans and Atlanteans is that Atlanteans are arrogant, proud, and extremely honest creatures, while humans can be very different - thieves, traitors, and evil feudal lords.

Added 27 minutes ago
In fact, I would add one new unit to the existing units in the familiar races and change some things...
For example, hydras and lizards will go to the Archons, and dark elves will have spiders and werewolves...
Centaurs are ancient creatures; we will add nomads and harpies to the barbarians.

Added 6 minutes ago
All the improvements will be much more eloquent

The creatures of the first two factions VERY much resemble Haven and Sylvan. Okay. Work hard on the story and all the details, otherwise you'll have even more ambitious ideas than Favorite.
P.S.: Stop being so negative!

P.P.S.: Have you been thinking about it for a year already? We're waiting for a major work!)

Stronghold
1. Goblin
2. Harpy
3. Orc
4. Nomad
5. Shaman
6. Ogre
7. Wyvern
8. Cyclops

Yeah, no time for that...

And who says they shouldn't be similar... these are the fifth Heroes... for me, they are almost ideal, and changing SOMETHING is better than completely abandoning the classics.

Haven has an idiotic ability called "Counterattack".

The Empire should be rich rather than defending itself. All heroes are feudal lords and bring money to the treasury every day.

The Empire worships the god Almighty...

I haven't figured out the Elves' ability yet, but I would like their stats to increase with the hero's luck (not just damage, like the others)...

Hmm... Listen, over the weekend, give it some good thought and submit it with all the details filled in.

Actually, I originally came up with a world, a kind of archipelago, called Fayronhart. Should I post a drawing of it? Just don't criticize it, okay?

Added after 54 seconds
The giant islands were connected by HUGE bridges across entire seas...

Well... it's a bit rough, but I couldn't do it any other way in Paint...

If anything, this is just a draft. It has an indirect connection to Light and Darkness; mainly, it shares the same races.

But it can be used as a world map...

If you can't see the names, just ask...

High-tier upgrades are not yet confirmed.

To be honest, the names of creature levels are the least interesting thing to me.
Where are the stats? Skills? Heroes? Unique features? The lore, since it's an entire world.
Even "Favorite" managed to come up with a couple of paragraphs...

Frankly, I'm least interested in the names of creature levels.
Where are the stats? Skills? Heroes? Unique features? The lore, since it's an entire world.
Even a favorite author would at least write a couple of paragraphs...

+1)))I completely agree with Vis Trita, describe everything in detail first, and then give us the names and levels of the creatures. Because just names won't get us very far; are we supposed to play with creatures that have no skills or heroes?:/ I could just as easily come up with my own, equally good ideas, but I would at least describe everything better than you and provide the basic information, including descriptions of the heroes' Castles (except for the most complex details:D). But what can you do... I don't have time, and I'm too lazy:D, and besides, I prefer to write stories:rolleyes:, not come up with new ideas for heroes.
But still, if there are good descriptions, it's better to share them!
P.S.: And are you really going to do all this? Or are you just going to talk about it and then give up on everything?

Okay, but please understand that it is much more difficult to describe what is currently in my head than what is on paper. :( I will not go into the full details of creating the universe, etc. ... But I will still write down what the inhabitants of this world consider to be the beginning of time ... :rolleyes: The history of the world began with the fact that two mighty god-brothers, Elsar :) and Ragnar :mad:, exiled from another distant world for their eternal feud, found vast unclaimed lands. The problem was that the brothers were forever bound by magical bonds, forcing them to constantly fight each other and always be near their hated relative-enemy. As if invisible shackles bound their movements when one of them tried to leave the other... And so - inseparable and hating each other... :) :mad: they wandered throughout the universe. Wherever they appeared, wars and destruction began everywhere, everywhere they were met with the same thing... :smile05:

In general, the story is too long to tell, and much of it is quite derivative, so let's leave it for later... Well, if you are interested in the races in detail, then let's start, but I will immediately say that I did not invent anything new in the gameplay, and left much unchanged, but definitely NOT the characteristics of the units and the composition of the castles...

Added 1 minute ago
The plot will be later... first I will explain what you want besides it...

Royal Empire[/SIZE][/I][/B]

When the ancient race of Atlanteans, who came for Elsar, stopped fighting with the demons, the spawn of evil, who lived in Ragnar, and went to a distant island covered with mountains, their land did not remain empty for long. The ubiquitous race of explorers and travelers, humans, together with their religion and state system, moved to the fertile, rich, and already developed lands. Humans came here through a portal built by demons, but never used by them. At first, the human race did not even suspect the existence of the Atlanteans; it calmly built cities and temples in worship of its god, the Almighty, engaged in trade, and traveled through the portal to the old world... Along with the people, other races and peoples came to these vast lands (but more on them later)... And the demons here built a mighty power and prepared to attack the Atlanteans, but their path was blocked by familiar enemies, who hate unholy offspring... Thus began a new war between humans and demons... So, what does the race of humans represent... :) Humans are eternal explorers; they are not carriers of exclusively good, but mostly almost all feel dislike for the spawn of evil. Humanity will worship the Almighty, whose true name is not spoken aloud, but everyone knows it... :rolleyes: :smile16: :smile17: :smile36: The Empire is a huge feudal state, with monarchical power and a patriarchal structure. The symbols of the state are the Cross, Griffin, Angel, Sword and Shield, Crown. Colors - blue, dark blue, red, white, yellow, gold, purple. In general, power is divided into four parts: 1) :smile49: The King, the only one who does not depend on other authorities. :smile41: 2) The High Council - three royal advisors - the supreme mage, the commander-in-chief, and the head of the feudal lords. :smile19: 3) The Church, which has enormous influence and power, is divided into two groups, united by faith in the Almighty: the Order of Light and the Holy Inquisition. They are usually in cool relations with each other, but there has never been any open struggle. :smile16: :smile36: 4) Noble representatives of society, i.e., aristocrats... :cool: :smile41: :smile41: :smile41:

The armies of the Empire are also divided into four components: Royal Guard, Order of Light, Holy Inquisition, Imperial Garrison...
