The race is great! The idea is impressive, but there are some drawbacks. For example, the Highlanders and Vikings. Vikings have never been Highlanders; they are a whole people. The seventh level is disappointing – it’s the same as Inferno. And there’s no third upgrade; maybe you could add it.

Thanks! I'll think about the Vikings. Also, level 7 has slightly different abilities (it restores health). What I posted are two upgraded versions; I don't feel like coming up with the unupgraded ones.

Great idea, but it feels a bit too… oily. Demons would be more fitting for Inferno, or at least as neutral creatures. Creating something like a blood elemental would be more interesting, especially since teleportation has always been associated with devils and archdevils from Inferno. As for Belial’s brothers, I have an idea: a skill called “astral shift” – when a unit is in the astral plane (how else can I explain it?) for the next turn, it’s essentially on two squares at once – the square it’s coming from and the square it’s heading to. This grants it 75% immateriality and the ability to retaliate against attacks, and the catch is that it only retaliates against enemy units that attacked it with a magical attack. What do you think of my idea? It might need some balancing, but it’s something completely new.

TibWar: You did a good job coming up with the idea, and you definitely deserve credit. This is a good thing! ...But isn't it a bit too much: you get ideas, and then you process them all? This scheme, in my opinion, is not suitable for serious factions.

:rolleyes: You're right. My sense of grandeur is quite strong. I just keep coming up with ideas. I have a lot of them, I even suggested a race of aquatic beings. So, I can only express ideas.

I'll think about level 7.

And what if you created, for example, a race of elementals?! They looked really good in Heroes 3! But in Heroes 5, they are only neutral creatures!

You're right, Machete. I can't handle it myself, and I need colleagues, or something like that. But I'm not ready to create serious projects yet. And I was just going to conduct a kind of "selection."
P.S. If anyone wants to help me come up with races, let me know (guaranteed +1 morale for everyone :) :) :) )
P.P.S. I won't be creating an elemental race because it already exists.

BD is not important to everyone. It doesn't even play any role...
I, for example, didn't like the Element Castle in Heroes of Might and Magic III. Therefore, I'm very glad that it's not in Heroes of Might and Magic V. Earth elementals are almost useless.

I don't think we need to add new factions. 8 is enough!

We know that ourselves. We're just brainstorming, imagining, and so on.

Come up with ideas (that's a good thing),
but adding them isn't necessary!

I completely agree that after the latest expansion, Heroes 5 has become a full-fledged game and the best in the Heroes series overall. Kudos to the developers for that! But it's also fun to indulge in some fantasy sometimes!

Let's see what Heroes 6 will offer; this game might surpass Heroes 5 in many ways.

Give me an idea for a new faction, please. :o :o :o
