Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

a brush that paints with colors with a low alpha level to help (highlights, shadows, glow, etc.)

I know all this, you draw beautifully, but sometimes in the game, it's not what you want to see. Let's see, I'm waiting!:p

Today, I made models for the 4 remaining Dark Elf females. One for each pair. Now I need to work on attaching the parts to the skeletons. I'll try to finish and upload them by the end of the week or early next week.

Added after 17 hours and 57 minutes
Well, where there are two, there will be a third))) In short, 3 new models will be added to those two. In total, with Shadia and Ilaia, we get 7 different female character models.;)

I don't mind, but 7 different ones... That seems like a lot. At this rate, we'll be working on the mod until 2050.

I'm not against it, but 7 different ones... That seems like a lot. We'll be working on this mod until 2050. :)

I'm making them with a reserve, so that when new characters are added, the models are already available. I did the same for the Elven Alliance, and I'll do the same for the Dark faction. You understand that I won't be working on this mod forever. ((( I've set myself the goal of making the heroes of all factions as diverse as possible, based on version 0.85. And I'm steadily moving towards that goal. More than half is done, including what was done earlier by others. That's how it is. I'll finish when I switch to something else...

Where do the excess units go afterward?

There won't be any extras, just for now, each character will exist in a single version, like Ciel, for example, in the Elven Alliance.

Here, I've made them a bit more beautiful, although for now, there are only two))). I'll probably finish the third one tomorrow. I've added some elements, basically. Here are three more to finish, and then I might take a screenshot of the whole set of Lizardfolk. So you can get an idea of what it will look like. Well, I'll say that these will be the most beautiful Dark Elves in terms of appearance! That's why I saved the most beautiful ones for last)))) And then I'll start adding more.

Perhaps we should add another Warlock to the NHF. Any suggestions regarding the specialization?
While other colleagues are finishing their work, we can implement part of the plan for version 0.87 in version 0.86.

What were the plans for version 0.86?

What were the plans for version 0.86?

I mentioned it somewhere above.

1) Add at least 90% of all heroes from the entire Ashan to NHF_E, taking into account non-repeating special abilities within the faction;
2) In NHF, give non-repeating starting spells, combinations: "skills+ability" to heroes within the faction;
3) Fix found bugs, strengthen weak heroes within the NHF;
4) Standardize rewards from "banks" (there were some inconsistencies);
5) Remove duplicate story heroes.

I agree! I fully support point 3! Even though I don't play much, just enough to test the model, I noticed this inconsistency with the heroes at the beginning of the game. So, either all heroes need to be weakened or strengthened at the start. Otherwise, some can easily defeat everyone without any losses, while others struggle with just 10 goblins. I'm just being blunt, but that's the idea.
And regarding point 5, are you suggesting removing heroes like Railag-Agrail?
If so, here's my suggestion, maybe you'll consider it.
Regarding Biara, the succubus model should definitely remain!
Regarding Railag, just Railag.
Isabelle - only the Queen herself.
Nicholas - I'm in favor of the vampire version. First of all, he was the main hero in the campaigns, and we never even got to play as him in his human form.
I think I've named everyone.
But out of all the listed heroes, Biara is the most problematic. She is also
Shadia. The question is, should we just remove them all, or will they remain as some kind of addition, like in NHF-E?

The only question is whether we should simply remove them all or leave them there as some kind of expansion, like NHF-E?

We'll remove them, and pass the specialists on to others. That's exactly why we needed a hero for the Eastern faction instead of Shadia.

Regarding Biara. Of course, only the succubus model should remain!!!

Biara's model is one of the most hideous. A burnt bush running around the map. We'll have to fix it in 0.87. psatkha already has some ideas about this.

It's not good to discard lore. Agrail and Railag are essentially two different characters.

On the contrary, it should be preserved.

There was an idea to give the ability to transform directly on the map from one hero into another, but that would be too much.

Let's think about version NHF_E 0.87. There will be no story duplicates in 0.86.

I was thinking about creating several versions of the hero lists, depending on the time period, for the extended version, but that might be too much.

Yeah, that's overkill.
There are a lot of heroes who were humans and became Necromancers, for example. In NHF_E, you can make an exception for those who have at least different names.

Optimal, I agree.
