Posts from How do you envision or would like to see the Swamp faction in Heroes of Might and Magic V? Auto-translated

Why did they forget about wyverns for the Orcs?:eek:

The developers probably just replayed Warcraft III 8)).
But seriously, there isn't much complete information about the expansion yet (considering the short time since the announcement, this is normal)... So we just have to wait a little longer...

As for the Swamp faction, they definitely won't be in the 5th part anymore...

Boglanders, who have lost their hydras and wyverns, need to be given salamanders... Gnolls should be replaced with lizardman swordsmen...

Didn't they add the wyvern to the Orcs?

Yes, the Orcs have wyverns… But we won’t see Swamp creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic V, as the developers have officially stated that the Orc expansion is the last one.

Then we'll be waiting for Heroes 6! I think they could be... instead of demons!

No, demons shouldn't be removed.

In my opinion, we don't need the Swamp faction. There's no denying that the castle was beautiful and atmospheric, but it felt a bit contrived. An elven city makes sense, an orc city makes sense, but a beast city...
Although, of course, it's better than all sorts of ice, underwater, naga, desert, etc. cities.

why beasts?
Let's make Gnolls, Lizardmen, Bugbears, and some other grotesque creatures, and leave the rest (Basilisk, Gorgon) =))
And then we'll have 4 humanoids and 3 monsters.

Leave Gorgons, Basilisks, and Wyverns, and replace the others.

No, we don't need a Swamp faction; it would just be a rehash of the 3rd Heroes of Might and Magic game, a pointless relocation of races. We need to show some imagination and come up with something new. For example, in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, they replaced the magic system, giving each castle its own unique magic. The heroes were also fully-fledged units. In Heroes of Might and Magic V, they mostly took elements from the 3rd game: monsters, castles, etc. They did improve some things and change others, but overall, they just copied the 3rd game. Of course, Heroes of Might and Magic V is a good game with a decent balance of power, etc., but the latest expansion, featuring the Barbarians, again brings back the same familiar faces. So, a Swamp faction isn't necessary,

Yes, some smelly and slimy creatures... nothing more:smile04:

In a new swamp, if there were one, you could add gargoyle jellyfish and, for example, a chimera as the 7th type of creature (the mother of all mythical creatures). And what about harpies? They would also fit well, living in the trees. I wouldn't mind if they were added, even as neutral creatures.

You could, of course, use swamp creatures, but you really need something more original. I'm all for snow elves with white dragons in their castle:smile43::). But I still want to see the race.
If there isn't a swamp race, then you could safely organize basilisks, gnolls, lizardmen (as well as medusas, harpies, and beholder) into neutrals. They are good units.
I want more dragons...:rolleyes:

I'm already sick of elves. I don't think anything new can be come up with for them. And all these alternatives like dark elves, snow elves, various nagas... I don't know. It's just stupid. Generally, I'm in favor of authentic mythology. Meaning no home-made invented freaks, but something from folklore, beliefs, or wherever else they come from.

Oh, by the way! It would be cool to introduce creatures from Slavic mythology into a swamp add-on—if it ever actually comes out—like leshys, vodyanitsas... Baba Yaga... stupid, of course... but original.

And in general, more diverse neutral creatures like mummies should be added to the editor. You could take someone (and why not everyone—they're neutrals anyway) from previous parts. In some 3rd part there were boar riders. That was also wild.

Now, it would be wild to put Koschei the Deathless in the Necropolis instead of ghost dragons. Bone dragons already seemed questionable to me back in the 3rd part. The Necromancer brought them to life! Ooooh!!

As you know, I won't argue. IMHO, the more elves, the better:D, but tastes differ:smile43:
Indeed, it would be nice to see creatures from Slavic mythology, but such specific ones as Baba Yaga and Koschei the Deathless are not necessary:D

By the way!!! Why not add beholders to the swamp creatures? I think they would fit in very well:cool:
