Posts from [HoMM V]9 Race - Swamp! Is it needed?

They might have fit, but they were so stripped down in terms of creatures that there's nowhere else for them to go:D. It's better to use the Wind Elves; they make more sense!:smile13:

I've already picked out creatures for them... almost))) I can post them here or in a private message) if you want).
And I haven't heard anything about Wind Elves) only the High Elves)). And there are already a lot of dragons))) maybe they'll be similar to the Sylvan faction)).

It would be great if the swamp upgrades resembled Chinese or Japanese architecture!

Make level 4 units into some samurai-like warriors with long katanas!
Ancient China invented the first firearms; it was a dart with a gunpowder-filled tip. When the dart was thrown, they lit the fuse! So many ideas come to mind!

Swamps and Japan??? Are you serious? They don't seem comparable at all... In my opinion, it's difficult to compare them to any country, and Japan is completely out of place here, as it was a highly developed civilization for a long time, which cannot be said about the Swamps.

It's not about the level of development, but about the similarity of the civilization! They might make the buildings a bit simpler, but the main thing is how beautifully the city will be modeled!
And all the ideas seem to have been presented. I was just making a suggestion!

Did you mention the similarity between the mages' guild and the standard image of a Japanese multi-story building? If so, remember the mages' guild at the Rampart.
Honestly, I don't see any similarity between the civilizations.

I completely agree with you. I guess it's time for me to retire from fantasizing.

as I and other forum users have mentioned before, the suggestion is to create a swamp with architecture inspired by the Mayan civilization, similar to what was in Heroes of Might and Magic III. The main building (Castle) should be designed accordingly, along with similar towers, stone structures, and huts.

3DoMZA, it's time for you to start assembling a team or at least summarize all the ideas.
Regarding the Wind Elves, it's better to make them Ice Elves or High Elves. By the way, the Bastion town for Heroes 3 was being developed for a couple of years.
And in the third game, the Swamp faction had a bit of an Aztec style.

Who will be drawing this masterpiece?

3DogMZA will be assembling a team...

And in Heroes 3, the swamp was somewhat in the style of the Aztecs.

I was just generalizing them as Native Americans... in my opinion, it would be better not to make them elves, but another race specializing in lightning... otherwise, there will be 3 elf races... which seems unfair to other races, in my opinion.

In the new ideas section, there are a lot of new towns – take your pick. And, in general, it would be better to replace the elves with someone else.

yes, if elves, then High Elves))
and even better, the Nigonians) 2 underground races, cool))

P.S. let's stop the off-topic discussion)))

I apologize for the long absence; I've been very busy. Studying at the institute takes up a lot of time! I don't have much free time right now, but I will get back to working on the Swamp faction. And I think I mentioned that we're waiting for the Orcs. Only after they're released and I've figured out their design will I start assembling the team. Right now, I occasionally browse new images for the Swamp creatures. Soon, I'll post the results of everything I've planned: creatures, buildings, castle, heroes, and their skills and abilities, etc. Now, regarding the Storm and Wind Elves. I've thought about it, and I think this race should include not only elves but also gnomes and humans. 1 Elf, 1 Human, 1 Gnome, a Storm Dragon, and other creatures. It will be something like a Castle of Light and Storm!:smile01: In my next message, I'll post all the results!

We're looking forward to it! Can you at least give us an approximate timeframe for when you'll release it?

We're looking forward to it! Can you at least give us an approximate timeframe? When will you upload it?

I won't pretend; it will be ready in about a week! :)

That's great! I'm looking forward to it and eager to critique your creatures!
