Well, in Heroes 3, there was snow in the Fortress, on the mountain peaks. And also, take a look at the map of Erathia, in the area of the Silver Cities, there are mountains, and there is snow on their peaks. There was probably more snow before, but it just melted; global warming, folks. :D

By the way, snow only occupies a small part of Bracad. There is snow only in a few mountain ranges in the southwest, on the coast. The rest is mostly desert!
You're not entirely right. Mages also live in the desert. There are many buildings with mages there. And it's not just golems. There are inhabitants. The Highlands are located on the southwestern coast of the country, but there are also mountains in the desert. There is snow in the Highlands, naturally, in the higher parts and mountain valleys. Mages also live there. And Celeste is not located on mountains (although, judging by the picture, the city may be built on a mountain, which, like itself, is in the sky), but floats under the clouds.
I didn't notice any mountains near the Academy; the Castle floats in the clouds... maybe I missed something, but snow is still nonsense!!! !!! PISOK - ROCKS!!!
In my opinion, there shouldn't be any snow at all!!! After all, both Nagas and Rakshasas are from India... Everything has been clear about Djinns for a long time. Titans are supposedly from Ancient Greece. And where is the snow there? Maybe snow is more beautiful, but in my opinion, it's complete nonsense. ...And the fact that they are on elephants, well, that's not a big deal... Let them be on elephants rather than camels... Although they could have come up with something more beautiful, like white tigers or something else.
Why do you think that the poorest segments of the population live in the Brackad Desert? Not only the poorest. And also, there are no very high mountains in the Brackad Desert. They are in the southwest. This can be seen by looking at the Brackada maps in Might and Magic 7 and the map of the southwestern part of Brackada in Heroes 3. And in the southwestern part, it's not just snow. Only in the highlands. But mages live both in the desert and in the mountains. Celeste floats in the clouds. The idea that this city is supported by mountains is speculation. There are no such high and snow-capped mountains in the desert, and, judging by that picture, the mountain is located under the Shimmering Castle, and the oasis also floats along with the entire city. And there is no description that Celeste is supported by mountains.
I remember that description. It tells the story of Celesta. About when the city was founded, when and by whom it was built. It doesn't say that it stands on a mountain. Regarding the desert, consider the dwellings to be deep, because in Might and Magic, there is such a thing as SCALE, that is, you travel through cities, settlements of Bracadia (and not all of Bracadia, even the desert, was shown in Might and Magic 7), but it is impossible to fully implement this in the game. And the high mountains are in the southwest, this is visible geographically. And I recently looked at this picture. It shows almost the entire mountain. And it is quite possible that the Castle and the buildings around it stand on the mountain (which also floats, because you land in that place in the desert where there are practically no mountains at all), since, for example, the other buildings float. For example, the Labyrinth of Mist or the houses of the advisors. So Celesta is still floating in the clouds.
Well, mages have always lived in the mountains, and therefore it should be cold there, so snow is more appropriate. Why are dwarves barbarians? And can you imagine dwarves in the steppes? You have quite the imagination. And the eastern attire is the worst thing they did in Heroes 5; it's a pity for the mages :(
Dwarves are not barbarians....I don't understand why they gave dwarves snow....they should have gotten mountains....not snowy plains....
and mages are actually from eastern fairy tales; they made everything according to the principle of "a la Old Hottabych," and the mages are basically Hottabychs....

How do you give them mountains? After all, mountains are not available as a landscape type, and Dwarves have 2 native terrains - snow and Dwarven dungeons. And the Mages were unnecessarily made based on Eastern fairy tales, and in general, why did Nival come up with stereotypes for races based on real life? After all, people play games to relax and forget about all sorts of problems, but here you have people and mages; it would have been better to make them Greeks, and that would have looked better.
Although, yes... you're right...)) but sand looks better, in my opinion.

:smile12:
I like everything there except for the gargoyles.
And the sand is cool. I don't really like the snow (in the third game). And if you read books (like Tolkien's) and watch similar movies and try to process it and somehow put it all together, then it's quite possible that dwarves live in the snow (mountains), and mages live in the sands. I like the idea of the Nival Interactive developers.:smile01:
Okay, then please tell me where in Tolkien's films or books do mages smoke hookahs, ride elephants, and look like old, hairy creatures?
Yeah. I agree about the hookah, but elephants are cool (even though they don't live in the desert). It would be great if they rode camels. And what do you imagine mages to be like? A naked woman riding a tank?:smile14:
These are the decisions of the Nival developers. They imagined mages like this since their difficult childhood:) and when they had the opportunity, they realized their dream. Then, Heroes is just a computer fairy tale... the Nival developers just fantasized.
You can also criticize the dark elves. Why a dinosaur? Have you ever seen a DINOSAUR underground? I haven't. I also haven't seen elephants in the desert...
I agree that the Mages look more like Hottabychs than the mages from Tolkien...
Apparently, the developers didn't want the Warlocks to be too similar to other factions and wanted to diversify the landscape (otherwise, the mages would also be in meadows or snow) and to emphasize the connection between the race and the landscape.
(Don't forget that the game was also made for Americans, "it's just cool").
