I found a lot of interesting things about the Heroes series on this forum. But this topic finally made me register to give the author a **+**.

I read a lot of interesting things about Heroes on this forum. But this topic finally made me register to give the author a +.

The author appreciates it :)

In the near future, I'll come up with a few more skills, and then I'll think about the heroes and the plot. Even if it's just a "monkey's work," it's still fun :D

You know, everything is very well-balanced. It feels like everything is very smooth. But I really like it, so I won't beat around the bush – I'm just impressed by the scope of your imagination. Out of all the races I've seen, this is the coolest (I'm repeating myself, as one of the forum users said). So, 100 points. The only thing I'd like is to see all this in drawings, if possible! As the ancients say, it's better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Although, reading the description of the race, something was already forming in my own mind, and I want to see something that confirms my thoughts. Damn, I don't have a talent for drawing, I can't draw myself. So, I have a humble request: if there are any drawings or even sketches, please post them.
The race is similar to my avatar; it's a pity that you can only increase morale once, otherwise, I would have given it an extra point.
With great respect and admiration, White Wolf. :smile20:

I really liked this race :) But, as already mentioned, the ifrits (not quite like those in Nighon, but still) and sphinxes (these guys were taken from the Desert Alliance – see the Race Factory) are a bit confusing. I don't have any ideas about this, so I won't criticize too much ;) Otherwise, it's very nice, I love dogs and wolves :) The race is well thought out, there is something to build on :) And the drawing is beautiful :)

Drakkos, I don't think these creatures were simply taken. Mugais is above that :) I don't know about the sphinx, but Mugais's ifrit is different from Nighon's ifrit, and since these races are not going to be implemented, everything is OK)) But if Arandor, Drnic, and Mugais decided to make Heroes 5.5, they would have to find a compromise :) In general, I liked the race, and I liked the approach of the creator of this race; initially, all the most important things were thought out, and a beautiful drawing was provided. There is no rush job and a desire to get a few pluses; I think this is noticeable from afar :)

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

It's all very interesting, but you really need to choose one or the other – either hoplites with cataphracts, or beys with emirs. It's too eclectic. And in general, the Psovlavians lived somewhere on the edge of the Oecumene.

Hmm, well, I just didn't quite express myself clearly :o Let's just say I pointed out the fact that creatures similar to those from the Palace exist in other factions :) By the way, why not aim for Heroes 5.5? ;) I've seen other factions from Might and Magic, and they're quite good too ;) As for the drawings, I'll turn blonde if I don't draw anything! :smile30: :D

It's all very interesting, but it really needs to be decided on one thing - either hoplites with cataphracts, or beys with emirs.
It's too eclectic.
And in general, the Psohlavs lived somewhere on the edge of the Oecumene.

Yes, there is that. A mix of Greek and Arabic terms. But if you consider that ifrits came from another world and are not carriers of Ravulf culture, then everything seems normal.

Moreover, I really didn't want to give ordinary names from the series "Heavy infantry", "Elite cavalry", "Wow, what elite cavalry" and "Mega ifrit" with "Giga ifrit" :D

But it's more difficult with the drawings... But I'll try to make one or two more myself or ask someone.

the idea is interesting, but...
regarding the similarity to Nighon...
ifrit... instilling hatred... enslavement... removing penalties for morale...
isn't that too many coincidences...?
well, never mind.
by the way, regarding all sorts of slaves...
I'm also developing a castle) and part of that culture is slaves. so I don't want to be accused of plagiarism when I publish it...

ps, "hoplites" is better than "goplites," imo;)
both are correct, but one has better associations:D

Actually, the initial concept of the Palace appeared long before Nygon (which I read once, a long time ago, and even left a post there). You can see an old version of the Palace here:

Rassa is really impressive; I wish there were more creators with such interesting ideas, rather than just copying existing concepts. It would be great to see screenshots of creatures, heroes, and so on. :)

P.S. Mugais, could you list which buildings are required to recruit specific creatures? I'm just curious.

Impressive. The creatures' abilities are well-designed.

So, I'm back!

List of buildings for the Palace:
1. Slave Barracks - Slave School
2. Mercenary Camp - Training Camp
3. Bivouac - Stable
4. Shrine of Reichor - Minaret
5. Fire Node - Obsidian Pavilion
6. Rukh Nest - Rukh Incubator
7. Pyramid - Great Pyramid

Special building: Mercenary Guild.
Allows you to exchange one type of creature for another, like at a market. It's expensive (ten thousand) and can only be built in a very developed castle (level 13).

I'll write something else soon ;)

Good names, no need to overcomplicate things here. The only thing is, *Great Pyramid* is too simple, not atmospheric enough...

"Originally, the pyramid was faced with a harder, white sandstone than the main blocks. The top of the pyramid was crowned with a gilded stone – a pyramidion. The facing shone in the sun with a peach color, as if it were a 'shining wonder to which the sun god Ra himself seemed to have given all his rays'."

So, I suggest naming the upgraded Pyramid: "Haven of Ra".
Even though Ra isn't mentioned anywhere in Heroes 5, where there is sun, there is Ra.

Haven of Ra....

The race is excellent! The descriptions of the creatures are on par with the original ones. Kudos to the author! P.S. Could you provide a link to the race creation tool?
