Yes, the ears are a bit too large, and combined with the nose, it partially resembles a pig. Maybe they should have been made smaller, or given a more frightening face, recalling the vampire heroes from Heroes of Might and Magic III. But it's good that the overall design of the vampires is closer to Heroes of Might and Magic III, rather than other installments.

Hello everyone,
I couldn't find the official developer page (except for Steam, but I don't really use Steam). Does anyone know of one?

if you have access to Discord, you can find them there.

Devlog #3: About Fictional Universes and Subjective Storytelling

If you are not the original creator of the franchise, its universe requires a very special approach. As a fan, you want to add something to your favorite world that would be true to its spirit, but also meaningful and not feel like a mindless fan fiction. The task becomes more complicated if the franchise is old (like Might and Magic) and has a complex history (like Might and Magic).

Heroes of Might and Magic is a spin-off of the Might and Magic franchise. The events of this series take place in the same world (until the third part). Then an eschatological event occurs, and HoMM4, followed by subsequent games, takes us to new worlds. Some of the inhabitants of the original Enroth manage to escape to the world of HoMM4, but HoMM5 and beyond, from a cosmological point of view, is a kind of soft reboot of the setting, turning it into a more traditional fantasy.

This, of course, does not affect us, as HoMM:OE returns to the original world of the series – Enroth. But the aforementioned soft reboot didn't happen for no reason. It had a reason, and it is that fans of "Heroes" have a… ambiguous attitude towards the origins of the series.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everything became clear when the fifth installment and beyond were called a soft reboot of the setting. 🤣🤣🤣 Never mind that the series was moved to a completely different world, not related to the original? The fourth installment was a soft reboot. The fifth is already a completely different story.
It's all interesting, of course, and they talk with a smart look, but why are they making something that looks like a very mediocre game for mobile devices?

They later explained that since the science fiction element in the Heroes series was subtle (it couldn't be discovered just by playing the game), the transition to Heroes 5 was simply a shift from one fantasy universe to another, which was largely similar.

Well, it's hard to say no, considering how straightforwardly it's stated that the Krigans are aliens... The story of the elementals also had a sci-fi vibe, with these elemental planes. But if you don't read the texts, then yes, I suppose.

A video featuring Tier 4 Necropolis units has been released, but the video file is too large to be uploaded to the forum. I guess we'll have to settle for VK. When will it be uploaded there?

Post the video link here. Maybe I'll come up with something.

After some thought, I divided the video into two parts.

Back then, signatures were divided into two parts here; now, it's videos. Another glorious inherited tradition. And it turns out that the Dungeon faction are essentially default Necromancers. I like this idea. It's stylish. It's reasonable. It doesn't necessarily have to be liches raising the undead.

A skeleton in clothes, and blood flies off it like from a pig. Dust and insects (moths, centipedes, worms, and beetles) could be flying around. And again, this single effect is used for everything. The magic and its rudimentary forms in the shape of effects on creatures' attacks and abilities are incredibly monotonous. Someone should tell them, since they don't seem to notice it themselves.

I think I already mentioned that blood is just a placeholder. The damage effects will be different.

Funny. Then what’s the point of posting these clips if everything will look different? Look, this is how it won’t look, lol, and you’re all generating comments about it. There’s no point in discussing it.
