it's just that the elements are somehow...)) fire, air, earth... in general, the idea is that water and fire are on the same side... that's stupid) they are opposites) just like earth and air... and here, you're building a race out of the elements... hehe)) they won't get along in the same Castle))

it would be okay if the races were related to the elements, like in AoW (sorry for the comparison)
there, each race is connected to one of the four elements) or to all of them a little bit...)

Be strong. Believe

But what difference does it make? They're not in Heroes 5 anyway, and it's unlikely that anyone will want to make them. Enough with the new Orcs, and maybe some Swamps!:)

That's exactly the problem – no one will create these 2 races...
And it's not even a fact that they will create anything at all...
If anything is to be expected, it will only be from the fans of the Heroes series... and if they have enough patience and knowledge, then it is quite possible... but it won't happen all at once. First, the Orcs will be released, people will play them, get bored, and then we can expect something more interesting from modders, for example, a couple of races... Hmm... That would be nice, but only time will tell if something like that will be done....

I was thinking, it would be best to have 10 factions. We should also add a Swamp and a "Storm and Lightning" faction. This faction would have storm dragons at level 7, elf snipers at level 5, pegasi at level 4, a philosopher-mage at level 3, and a dwarf merchant at level 2. I haven't figured out the first and sixth levels yet.

swamp is good!! storm and lightning... uh... a very strange castle... it's better to have high elves with pegasi, Rukh birds, and white (silver) dragons)) or... hehe... :rolleyes:

and the snipers look like upgraded elves... even though the translation is a bit clumsy))

10 races is just what's needed) or 11....)))

Which part of the Heroes game are you designing this faction for – Heroes 5 or Heroes 3?! :cool:
Only the ancestors at 3DO allowed themselves to create such a hodgepodge of factions – Rampart... where racial differences didn't really matter, and it turned out that a centaur, an elf, and a dwarf could stand side by side in the same army – 3 different representatives of races...
In Heroes 5, they put an end to such inconsistencies and separated dwarves from elves and centaurs, thereby creating more or less "logical factions" in all respects, including the composition of units...
So, there's no need to have dwarves and elves from the same city...
Snipers – they are snipers – why call them elves again and put them at level 5... any elf will give these snipers a run for their money – because elves are the best archers in the world of Ashan...
Philosopher-mage... well, if we are creating elves, then it doesn't work either – again, racial incompatibility...

I would like to add 3 more races: nagas (I read about them somewhere here), a swamp race, and underground insectoid creatures (I also read about them somewhere... I really liked them).

8 factions. The most optimal option. Distinct factions, a perfectly balanced distribution of power, colorful and impressive creatures... In short: in my opinion, quality is better than quantity.

Are you coming up with a race for which installment of the Heroes series – for the fifth or the third?!!! :cool:

So, there's no need to have dwarves together with elves from one city...
Snipers – they are snipers – why turn them into elves again, and even put them on the 5th level... any elf will give these snipers a run for their money – because elves are the best archers in the world of Ashan...
Philosopher-Mage... well, if we're creating elves, then it's not suitable either – again, racial incompatibility...
These are just thoughts, not a finished product. I initially proposed the Storm Elf race, but they said that 3 elf races were too many, so I combined them into one larger race. I was thinking differently at first.
Level 4: Pegasus, Level 5: Elf-Sniper (he's a sniper because he also shoots lightning when he fires). Level 7: Storm Dragon. I still need to think about the rest.

And yet, elves always fill everything up...
No, we don't need Storm units – something feels off. By the way, I didn't understand: is a "Sniper" called a "Sniper" because it shoots lightning?)))

This is just brainstorming, not a finished product. I initially suggested the Storm Elves as a race, but they said that having three Elven races would be too much, so I combined them into one larger race. I was thinking about something else at first.
For level 4, a Pegasus; level 5, an Elf-Sniper (he's a sniper because he also shoots lightning with his shots); level 7, a Storm Dragon. I still need to think about the others.
First, we need to come up with all the logical races, and then we can propose additional ideas. It's right to say that a Swamp faction with lizardmen is needed, but it's already been cut down so much that it will be difficult to create. Next, the Dungeon – not Elves, but the second legitimate underground race – troglodytes, trolls, medusas (more correctly called gorgons), beholders, manticores, etc. Then, of course, you could add elementals, but that's unlikely... given Ubisoft's canon and rules...

Now it's time to come up with the most optimal options – the much-discussed underwater race, the evil mages (like an Ice Castle with ice dragons)... and then you can add at most one more Elven race and various Khajiits, Gnolls, etc. :)

Friends, if you wish, I can create creatures for the non-existent race you proposed, following all the rules of balance. Additionally, I can provide a fictional history of the race and alternative upgrades.
