The Basilisk will look more like the image on the left. :)

Yes, but all the icons for the creatures still need to be drawn in Photoshop (or somewhere else). Otherwise, if you just take random pictures, they won't look like they belong in the game, and it won't look very good.

Is there a swamp area, or do you have to create it? ))
The best swamp was in Heroes of Might and Magic II and III (on the map)).
It's not very good in Heroes of Might and Magic IV; it's more like a jungle.

Why a basilisk and not a hydra?

In the fifth game, the Hydra was recruited into another castle and then discarded, so they chose the Basilisk instead.

Then it’s clear why it’s not a basilisk.

Anyway, all the icons for the creatures need to be drawn in Photoshop (or somewhere else). Otherwise, if you just take existing images, they won't look like they belong in the game, and it won't look good.
It's clear that we need to create our own images, but we should look at the existing ones to get an idea.

The swamp area was best in the 2nd and 3rd games (on the map).
In the 4th game, it's bad; it's just a jungle.
In Heroes 5, there doesn't seem to be a swamp area yet, but if there isn't, we'll create one. But let's not rush; we're waiting for the ORCS, and then everything will happen. :)

It's not in the 5th installment, and I don't think it will appear with the Orcs – what connection is there between Orcs and a swamp? They should be in the sands (although it seems the Mages have already taken over the sands). It's unclear...

The main thing is that it doesn't look like the Dwarves' castle... it's some kind of hole, and it looks boring:confused:

I think the Orcs will have a decent Castle! If they have a dried-up swamp, then we'll make the swamp dwellers' one wet and watery!:smile01: But still, it's better to start working on the Swamp after the Tribes of the East expansion is released! And then things will really get going. I don't know if I wrote this before, but if we make a Swamp Fort, there will be three Campaigns. 1 for the Swamp. 2 for the Demons. 3 for the Sylvan. Since in the first and second add-ons, we played or will play as humans, dwarves, dark elves, orcs, necromancers, and mages.:smile01:

That’s great! ))
And the Swamp could be allied with the Elves, since they also protect their nature)) Together, they can defend nature from demons)))
Or with the Barbarians, since they might live nearby)) and the Outcasts)))) Hehe (just kidding)

I also thought about an alliance between the Elves and the Swamp faction. I have already found a place on the map where the Swamp faction can settle. I quickly drew it in Paint. They will live on the green island at the bottom. See...:)

Good idea! And the color there is dark green, just like a swamp. Leave your ICQ number or message me yourself, and we'll talk about the Swamp faction. By the way, what color do you want for the Lizardmen? Blue, like in Might and Magic 3, or green, like in Heroes (when riding a horse)? Green is more appropriate, but blue is also good

I think that in Heroes, besides the swamp, we don't need any new maps; there are already enough:rolleyes:
