Posts from - City alignments based on AD&D.

XEL, could you tell me what your non-sloppy classification is based on? On the campaigns of AB and SoD?

will it help in the fight for the Blade of Armageddon

When I said it was poorly done, I meant that it was largely inaccurate. What makes the Tower CG? What makes Inferno CE? The worldview differs in different games. And the Krigane weave intrigues that are even more elaborate than Sandro's. And Conflux behaves differently.

In theory, if we look at things objectively, there are 3 good cities, 3 neutral cities, and 3 evil cities in the game. And the developers and writers made them that way, not me. I just assessed their position on the Lawful-Neutral-Chaotic scale.

The Wizard faction doesn't really like to interfere in the affairs of others and do good deeds indiscriminately.

Inferno, of course, if you judge by the creatures, is LE. Because they are very similar in composition to the Baal's army (just look at the Pit Fiends, although they seem a bit weak). But in terms of their aspirations, they are clearly chaotically evil. Lawful evil has certain clear principles and does not derive pleasure from the process of destruction itself. But I haven't noticed the Krigans striving to simply enslave everyone. They only crave destruction. Moreover, Inferno is the antithesis of the Castle. And the Castle is nothing more than LG.

And the second thing is that the main feature should be a clan system, not a Hive system.

Inferno CE, keep in mind that this doesn't mean they are unintelligent destroyers incapable of intrigue; it means they would sell their own mother for their own benefit.

Sorry if I'm out of line, but it's strange to see someone participating in this kind of topic who thinks the Might and Magic universe is illogical and uninteresting.

What made you think that I consider this universe “illogical and uninteresting”? If you’re referring to our old argument, then I didn’t claim anything like that there. If the universe wasn’t interesting, I wouldn’t play games based on it, let alone register on this forum.

I had nothing to do, so I figured out that each town in Heroes 3 has its own worldview according to AD&D. At the same time, please note that there are 9 towns and 9 worldviews (or alignments, whichever you prefer).

Castle - Lawful Good
Rampart - Neutral Good
Tower - Chaotic Good

Conflux - Lawful Neutral
Fortress - True Neutral
Stronghold - Chaotic Neutral

Dungeon - Lawful Evil
Necropolis - Neutral Evil
Inferno - Chaotic Evil

Moreover, if you pay close attention to the plot of the campaigns, the heroes from different towns behave accordingly to these worldviews! Take, for example, the cunning and treacherous Sandro, weaving intrigues - a typical NE. The cold-blooded Xeron, who whimsically kills his own soldiers, is a clear example of CE.

D&D experts, do you agree with me? :)[/QUOT]

I completely agree. And the same applies to the fantasy world...:smile20:

I meant the logic of the universe, not its interestingness. More precisely, the fact that it has a lot of flaws. If you reread your post, from which I took this quote, you will remember that you were explaining the flaws of the universe, not its logic and interestingness.
