Posts from [HoMM V]9 Race - Swamp! Is it needed?

Troglaam and the swamp could inspire a story! They would swim in it, all green... That's exactly why the color in Heroes of Might and Magic III didn't suit Dungeon. By the way, in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, they were associated with Chaos, and they lived in the swamp. P.S. Make the Lizardmen blue so that there aren't any duplicates, even if they look strange in Heroes of Might and Magic III, but they would look beautiful.

Trogl the Neanderthal, and where he lives isn't the main point; what's important is a darker and damper environment, and pits and ravines, as planned, fit the bill, so everything aligns, and they blend in well... IMHO.

far from being a Neanderthal. Neanderthals were actually more developed. In any case, a troglodyte is a caveman. And all those "dungeon legends" are nonsense invented by Nival when they depicted cavemen in that way. Although, nonsense equals fantasy. Here are my thoughts:
Troglodytes have no place in the swamp. The protection against unholy words is nonsense; no one uses it anyway, so it's better to remove the ability altogether. A hellish troglodyte living in a swamp is sometimes too original, and then it just becomes absurd. This is a clear example.

Lizardman - why simply copy creatures from Might and Magic III? To get a 3D lizardman or gnoll? Poison on attack - like assassins? Then the assassins will lose their uniqueness... Crippling shot - isn't that too many slows?

Gnolls - overpowered. Triple attack is too much. Double attack with stun. I understand everything, but they shouldn't be stronger than minotaurs by definition. In general, there's no balance.

Snake - it flies, weakens, attacks everyone... fire breath... and again, no balance? Maybe Nival should be entrusted with developing new Castles? They won't just slap something together; they'll think carefully and come up with normal stats/abilities. And a growth of 6...

Gorgon - this is too original a creature to clone and put in every version. I don't think it's a good idea. Besides, what's better - fear or breath of death? I think the answer is obvious. So, it needs to be reworked again.

Medusa - and did no one think that it's not a good idea to give a creature with excellent ranged damage a frost nova ability? Because she won't be useful after accumulating even a dozen medusas. And a direct shot, slow, and blind in melee - is that okay? I understand that this is a level 6 unit, but that doesn't mean it should completely dominate everyone.

Basilisk - here, the idea is more or less decent, but is 50% plague equivalent to curse and weakness, which are ALWAYS applied?

In general, there's little originality and a lot of overpoweredness.
The main ability is incomprehensible. Totems - again, they strongly resemble Maj's mini-artifacts, no matter what anyone says. Heroes - the descriptions are great; almost every other hero has a very original biography - "he was the best, so he became a priest," "he rose through his intelligence, hard work, and patriotism, so he was appointed commander-in-chief"... at least the biography shouldn't have been written. It's clear that all this, so to speak, "design document" is just fan fiction. That is, another fan-made, unbalanced creation. Sorry, but that's the harsh reality. Besides, since you created the heroine Tatalia, it would be nice to add the hero Erafia to the Haven faction...
Besides, what kind of programmer are you? Did you even finish school? If so, the teachers there were bad at Russian...

In general, all this is pointless. Even if, I admit, all this is done, modeled, and compiled, and then sent to Nival's legendary hidden mailbox, they will simply read this trash and delete it. We are definitely not the only people in the world who are sitting here trying to come up with a new faction. They have plenty of that stuff. Want a new Castle? Make a mod. However, it's better to sit here and at least post, developing the forum, than to lie on the couch.

Loken, you're a stupid and annoying person! Do you want to say something about my programming knowledge, or do you think you're the smartest one here? Or if you can't do anything, then everyone else is the same! First of all, I NEVER STUDIED RUSSIAN! If you wanted to, you could look at how old I am, where I live, and what I do. I finished school and am studying at an institute, and in addition, I'm also studying to be a programmer at a computer academy! You know, I've met a lot of stupid people, but I've never met anyone like you! You're a complete idiot, and if you don't like something, leave this topic and don't clutter it up with your stupid posts and first-grade-level thoughts! If you want to say that you're so smart, read everything I wrote on the Bog! Because you only read about the creatures' abilities, but you probably forgot about their strength and the corresponding growth, cost, and everything else! The strength of abilities is compensated for by either a small growth rate or poor damage. If you noticed, the snakes with their abilities will be weak, and that's why they have a large growth rate! Read, don't be shy, maybe you'll learn something smart! Have you noticed that you're the only smart one here, who just comes and writes all sorts of nonsense! If I had the power, I would kick you out of the forum and send you far, far away!:smile22: I've said everything.
Julyanna, find a huge snake that is somewhat related to the basilisk!:)

Oh... there will always be people like that...
I expressed my opinion about the creatures. I criticized them. Any questions?
Don't you like it when you receive constructive criticism? Then don't write anything at all if you're afraid of it.
You should try to extract some wisdom from these reflections.
Are you pointing out my stats? Fine. Is 1-4 damage normal for a level 1 creature?
TRIPLE attack, HP like Minotaurs, higher defense than them, initiative and speed that are no worse than Minotaurs - is that normal?
And after that, you ask me to pay attention to the stats? I actually did, but I didn't write it down right away.
I noticed that you're the only one here who isn't very smart and writes all sorts of nonsense. If you're told even a single word that you don't like, you immediately start acting like a jerk.
Have you noticed that you have almost 600 posts, but only 2 "likes"? What does that say? I told you to change your attitude towards people, towards the game, towards life in general, if you behave the same way in it as you do here.
Do you think that by angrily replying, you've ruined my mood; humiliated me by putting a minus on my morale?
Ha.
There are more important things in life.
Okay, to leave this pile of crap that you tried to pour on me with some dignity, I won't even retaliate by putting a minus on you. Know that I'm above that.

The Emperor sees everything...

You noticed that you have almost 600 posts, but only 2 "likes"? What does that say?

As practice shows, it says absolutely nothing (as strange as it may seem). And besides, you've all made a mountain out of a molehill... Loken, you also expressed yourself rather sharply, and 3DogMZA needs to be more restrained. *Now I'm leaving before I get it from both of you.*

And here we go again... The thing is, Lokken, criticism is good, but don't you think it's a bit harsh to say things so bluntly? You could just calmly explain what you don't like and why, and offer a few suggestions. Besides, it's obviously upsetting for the author to hear negative feedback about their idea. 3DogMZA, don't get worked up, just stay calm.
By the way, Lokken, what was the point of the comment about the ratio of posts to birds? Could you explain if you don't mind...

you understand that yourself. Besides, Sandro has a lot of reputation, but fewer posts. Because he doesn't say stupid things.

Never mind, there was no need for you to write that, because it seems like everything is calm here now.

Well, I hope things stay quiet from now on.

A terrifying beast (see Nigan) chased me for a long time, and out of fear, I drew a basilisk-snake. Maybe it's a bit rough and not entirely accurate. If there's anything wrong, just let me know, and I'll fix the drawing ;)

P.S. Guys, don't argue! :) ;) :D

Koshа, that's cool) but they're too beautiful for basilisks)))

3DogMZA, maybe make the basilisks look like dragonlings, wyverns, and other undead dragons (without wings) from Disciples 2?)... just change the color a bit and so on)) it will be a big and terrible lizard)

No, no!!! Don't make him look like a dead creature! It's better to make him look like a deep-sea serpent))))) Kos, sorry, but I can't help but criticize: he's too cute))) and skinny, gaunt, he looks like he's starving... I think he should be fatter, with spikes, drool and slime coming out of his mouth, scales, and not smooth like a worm)))) You draw great, but I can't help but criticize)

P.S.: What kind of notebook was it? I can't read what's written on it, WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE BACK?)))))

Oh my god, the Niganites have reached even here! They will fill the entire swamp with their creations! Aaa!

...why should a basilisk even be "like in Harry Potter"?
For Heroes, I think it will turn out to be somewhat comical.

A funny basilisk, but it looks more like a sea serpent. -.-
And whiskers like a catfish%) and gill-fold-fins. It has everything;)

In my opinion, if it were thicker, it would look like some kind of worm. After all, within the 4x4 grid in Heroes, it would be quite difficult to arrange a long and thick snake, and how would it move...? Therefore, the solution that Arandor suggested is indeed the best.
P.S. I haven't played Disciples 2 :( Maybe someone could post a screenshot for those of us who haven't, because I'm really curious to see it.:rolleyes:

Why ride a snake? It’s uncomfortable!
