Posts from Conflux – 9th town for Heroes 5.

Wow... and a downvote to the author of the topic, I guess someone gave it for "an unnecessary faction."

I don't mind using demoralize; otherwise, why would it be here if it's not supposed to be used?

Well, everyone decides for themselves whether they need this faction or not. The main thing is that it's a good job in terms of the mechanics of adding a full-fledged city, without changing the existing ones, but supplementing them (even if it's a bit of a hack, through the TOWN_SPECIAL ID).

As for the wasteland, I don't know for sure, I haven't delved that deep yet, but it seems that they took half of the terrain from the default desert and reworked it for the new one, plus they added mountains made of red stone.

I actually think the NVS topic on the forum wasn't popular because a respected veteran was unfairly penalized for some minor issue. After that incident, no one posted there anymore.

Wow... so it turns out that Andrei also wrote nonsense and created a stupid topic? )))))))))
The person simply translated someone else's mod, put in the effort - maybe someone will like the new mod and they will want to play it - how can there be a negative reaction to this in principle??? If you don't like the mod, just don't play it.

You should focus on melee combat – no one is stopping you, but the mod author doesn't need to do that; they created their mod, a new faction, and that's perfectly fine... it will definitely be useful to someone...

Frankly, I think that the Spirit magic houses are criminally underdeveloped in the lore of Ashan. It creates the impression that before the appearance of the undead and constructs, magic users were not significant, which doesn't align with the history of the Orcs, as some forces were needed to enslave them and drive them out of the country after the rebellion.

The idea behind the mod, not the work of Andrey. We need to focus on the Nagas. They are a lore-based faction in Ashan, but we will make them unbalanced elementals "because that's how they were in Heroes 3." Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to implement factions into the fifth game. I'm a complete novice in that area. I'm just a lore expert, texture artist, and inspirer for creating mods, and sometimes a sponsor.
