Posts from How many factions are there?

:Oh yeah, you're right!
And I'm looking and thinking that the Necropolis campaign is very similar to Messiah!
))))))

Yes, I know, of course, I meant that the Paokai were not copied from Orcs, but from Messiah. Messiah is a different game. Not even from the same series. Although it's in the same universe. It's an action game. That's the meaning of my post. ;)
And isn't there more meaning in "copying a unit from a previous game in the series"? oO

Well, you could have just said that...))) You didn't express yourself very clearly.
Actually, what's so bad about Paokai living in the same Ashan? Why not use them? I just hope they don't start using spiders...

Why not use them? For example, make them neutral creatures at level 3 (maybe even lower). And at level 7, have that large spider (the one we seem to rescue Lynn from) with an ability to summon small spiders once per battle. I think that would be cool. But as racial creatures, they definitely wouldn't work.

Ghouls could also be added as neutral creatures. With very high intelligence and a retaliatory attack (I still can't forget how they always dodged sword attacks), but with low HP and defense for their level. It's very possible that they will appear in the sixth part. I'm not sure about the spiders.

The thing is, I hate these creatures with all my being, which is why I don't want them in the game, although, of course, they will be here, but they won't be as repulsive as in Dark Messiah, where you can see them much better. And they were just too well-drawn there)))

I’ll even give you a thumbs up; I couldn’t stand them either, even though the first time I played, it wasn’t on the highest settings! But it will be good in Heroes!

Ha! You can't say that ghouls had little HP and died quickly;)
On level 6, with no retaliation, intelligence, and HP...
And giving them the "annoyance" skill - the enemy gets annoyed and automatically leaves the game:)

Ar, why only them? Orcs were also used, although here they are not as yellow and somehow smaller. But when I saw the thugs, I was immediately taken out of the game:) Although, I don't really believe that the orcs from Messiah look like slaves...
Even Arantir was used(:D)

Oh, you've made me want to play Dark Messiah again, I'll download it tomorrow))

No... there, the orcs are definitely not slaves. But goblins are very suitable for the role of orcish slaves.

I voted for "The more factions, the better." While this is certainly a good idea, if there are too many factions in the game, it will simply be chaos. After all, for each faction, you need to come up with units, a story, and so on. If there are too many factions, the units will be similar, and the story will become confusing, so my motto is "The more factions, the better, but know your limits."

Take a look at the third faction, specifically Inferno. There are already 9 of them, and many more are being generated. We only have 8, so we can add many more castles without any problems. Balance? What can happen to it? Of course, if the developers have everything well thought out.

Can you yourself suggest races that would be well-thought-out and interesting? Besides, there's no guarantee that all the races in the game will turn out well. So, only a VERY smart and capable person can come up with all these races in a diverse and interesting way.

Well, whether they succeeded or failed is a matter of personal opinion, but you can't ignore the facts about balance and imbalance... although the originality of the faction is also important.

Well, some very smart and capable people managed to create a lot of castles in different games of the series, and everyone is happy with it. In my opinion, the most important thing is originality. This is what prevents our lives from turning into a dull, gray routine (it's a somewhat random comparison, but whatever).

The more, the better. It would be great to come up with good abilities for the new races. And most importantly, more new magic and artifacts would make everything even better. Personally, I buy every expansion pack, play it, and enjoy it.

Shevriel, you are absolutely right. The more variety, the more interesting it becomes, as long as it doesn't compromise the abilities, skills, and appearance. After all, wouldn't you agree that it's much more interesting to see diversity than to constantly look at the same creatures?

Yes, no one would argue with that! The more, the better. But I'm leaning towards 10 options. We still need Swamp and Nighon! And I think that will be enough:smile01:

The more factions there are, the better, of course, but there also needs to be a balance between good and evil.
