Posts from What should be added to the top five from the previous installments?

1. An Orcish city is free because anyone can live there with anyone.)))
2. The Sirens tried to kill the entire ship, and it's not a fact that they succeeded, so it's quite possible that only 30% of the total number died. Besides, they probably don't often encounter heroes who blind them, strike them on the head with lightning, and generally do all sorts of nasty things.
3. Well, if you consider that there are many jellyfish, and they are not armed with anything except their eyes, why not shoot them with a bow if they can be trained to do so. And regarding turning to stone, there are probably smart people around, not every idiot will look them directly in the eyes.

I would also like to see more diverse hero models, both male and female. For example, with the Dark Elves, it's unclear whether the hero is male or female, but with the Mages, the same Ora with a clearly male model looks strange.

Yes, that's true. They could have done the same with the units.

For example, the basic unit could be any, the first upgrade could be male, and the third upgrade could be female. Then it would be better and more interesting to play.

Whenever I imagine a female cyclops or a female zombie, I immediately feel cheerful :smile52:. And it's even funnier to think of a male Fury :D.
I think there are too many units, but the fifth installment really lacks male/female hero models.

Regarding upgrades related to gender, that's definitely going too far. But why can't there be a female zombie or a cyclops? Cyclopses are obviously not found in cabbage patches, so they should have female counterparts as well, unless they are summoned creatures. And surely, you can zombify a dead woman, not just a dead man.

maybe male and female zombies look the same after the transformation?)
and cyclopes, if we're going by mythology, are also creatures like harpies) and they are all male, just like harpies are all female)) although in the Odyssey, there was only one, and he appeared to be the son of Poseidon... if I'm not mistaken)
P.S. gender for creatures is nonsense, in my opinion) but it wouldn't hurt to have it for heroes).

That's exactly what I'm saying, and as far as I remember, Cyclops were a race, so there should be women among them, of course, unless I'm mistaken.
Male and female zombies can only become similar after a long time. It's unlikely they will still be capable of anything:D

We can argue endlessly about whether female cyclopes exist or not. But is there any point? I'm not denying the possibility of female zombies either. I just said it would be fun to imagine them. In general, if we're talking about it, members of different sexes of beast-like and monster-like creatures should be similar (purely theoretically). Can you immediately tell, or even tell at all, what sex a lizard is? Or any other animal. The same applies to creatures. Maybe half of the griffins in your army are females? But with humanoid creatures, it's not so clear. But if you think about it, the vast majority of armies have been and still are made up of men. Therefore, priority is given to them. And women who served in the troops most often served and still serve in field hospitals, etc., in general, they rarely participate directly in battles. Maybe we should draw a nurse next to a tent? :)
P.S. Still, almost all the zombies in the necromancer's army are men, because in most cases, the undead are raised from slain creatures, and it is almost always men who fight.
P.P.S. We're discussing an interesting question. Maybe we should even create a separate topic about it?))) Just kidding.

I don't know what else to add, but something is needed, because I feel more drawn to the third game than to the fifth!

Why give the units full bodies? They already look good and well-designed, unlike the heroes, as I mentioned above.

Yes, that's correct. Different factions have both male and female units, so the idea of making upgrades based on gender is inappropriate, to put it mildly. If the game only featured male or female units, then it might make sense. Or if the game focused on gender issues...

It's like you're suggesting an Amazon faction or something. I think having 5 heroes with Orcs is a good thing, combining the best aspects of the 4th and 3rd games, and I believe the 6th game will be the same, but with more physics (destructible environments) and better graphics. Heroes 5 is practically perfect...

I think the graphics in the 5th installment are more cartoonish than in other parts. And I didn't like the interface at all (sorry if there's a mistake).

I agree, you're right, the graphics are cartoonish, but in the 3rd part, it was more serious. Even if you compare the zombies in the 5th and 3rd games...

It's not cartoonish at all; it just has brighter colors than in the third game, and sometimes they can be irritating – I won't argue with that. But it's definitely not cartoonish.
