Posts from In your opinion, which hero has the most charisma in the campaign?

Hehe)) so, who is Pasha then, Zadov? And who is Zadov's wife?))))))) xDDDDDD

Pasha - Alaric
Nina Markovna - Biara
)))))))

And there was also Tralsai; his fate was truly terrible... He got involved with Inferno... And, as always... I'm absolutely sure he didn't go to them on his own... Either some succubus was involved, or he was sold into slavery to demons as a child, and that messed him up... It's a pity...

Tralsai indeed has a sad story... He was just unlucky to be born into the clan of the Grim Hearts (Grim Hearts :D). Railag defeated this clan, and Tralsai really wanted to avenge Railag for the murdered relatives. And Biara, in the form of Shadia, was already here. But in my opinion, Tralsai either went crazy after the death of his parents, or he was extremely obsessed with revenge, which even allowed him to sacrifice his fellow tribesmen to demons... But personally, I didn't feel much sympathy for him, because I like dark elves more in their relatively good incarnation.

I'll try to describe them all, starting with the original heroes (meaning, not from the expansions), and for now, I won't consider the storylines of the expansions (except for Godrick). (In general, most of the heroes, due to the lack of facial animation and the desire to show that the game has all sorts of annoying special effects, are very funny and irritating (it's good that it's much better in "Lords of the Realm")).
Isabelle - her face is sour, and her voice acting is just funny, with all sorts of "Oh, Nicholas, oh, they killed him" and so on. Although, mostly, her actions cause indignation, starting with the intro, when the king and the demon are locked in the church, and then they whine about how he's doing in there. And in general, it's not clear why the hell she went to gather a militia, to summon elves, and so on, because she became queen after marrying Nicholas, so why did she suddenly have to go to war?
Godrick - he's like a standard "for the light" knight, but his storyline was ruined. Take, for example, the deaths, where he lies completely unharmed, and at the end of the dialogue, he says, "I guess I'll die, because I need to create tragedy."
Nicholas - personally, all the Nicholas characters in the Heroes series are associated with running away to the circus (MM6 and MM9). He also dies strangely, he couldn't even defeat 3 horned demons in hand-to-hand combat.
Frieda - an item in Markel's inventory.
Agraal - something like the main hero of a popular fantasy Hollywood movie. Like the standard hero in such movies, he first throws away the Amulet of G, and then goes after it to the "center of the G empire." From the same series is his love for Isabelle. It's absolutely unclear how his geeting works, and in general, all the storylines are full of dislike for demons, which, in my opinion, is wrong.
Markel - also a fairly standard necromancer, but he has good voice acting and a good model. It's not clear why the developers let him get killed. I played as him, I leveled him up, and so on, but it just doesn't feel right. They could have made it so that we play as a good guy for the "bad" races, and another one gets killed, or let us play as a heretic or an elf who is ready to kill all the elves for, say, his stolen unicorn.
Railag - he turned out to be kind of strange. So, it turns out that anyone can come to the Elves, become the head of the clan, take over the rest, and go kill demons. Besides, all the ordinary elves have strange, wide ears (the worst design decision), and Railag's ears are almost sticking up, and he should have been kicked out of the elves just for that. He has as much charisma as Agraal.
Shadia - she's just average, but if you judge her as Biara, then she moves from one place to another very often =)
Fayden - well, maybe in English, in which the heroes were originally made, the poems sound normal, but in Russian, it's just terrible. In general, he has as much charisma as a log. At the end, he says, "Let's just kill her," and when he's refused, he doesn't do anything. Why was he carrying a bow with him (in the game, I never used it, I always created phantoms)?
Nicholas (vampire) - what kind of vampire is he? He turned out to be some kind of emo =)
Zeheer - the developers missed a great opportunity. They should have made him a rastaman who believes that he's riding a horse, but it just has slightly bigger ears than usual. Why did they even give mages a hookah? But instead, he turned out to be some kind of boring, standard-good, but kind of authoritative mage. (And why did he kill Markel? It's unclear, and in "Armageddon's Blade," Markel's skull also appears, so where did that come from?)
In conclusion, on a 10-point scale:
Isabelle - 2; Godrick - 4; Nicholas - 2; AgraalAG - 2.5; Markel - 8; Shadia/Biara - 5; Fayden - 2; Zeheer - 3; I'll give 10 points to the leader of the peasants from the first mission for the Empire, because they really shouldn't be fighting with some demons.
If I'm not lazy, I'll write about the expansions.

Well, I thought Nikolai simply translated it, but I checked, and it's indeed Nicholai.
But the difference is still small; couldn't the Nival Interactive team come up with someone else, for example, Rolando?

1. Railag-Agrail - for being handsome, captivating, tough, cynical, and charming.
2. Zephyr - for having the most pleasant voice, interesting speeches, and such a sweet kindness and restraint. And in Hammers of Fate, also for his beauty.

Some others were decent too, but these two stood out in my memory, especially the first one.
The women weren't very impressive. Not women, but more like men. Unsexy and uncharming. Armor doesn't suit a woman)). I liked Shadia and the blonde - also a dark elf. And of course, Biara:).

Agrail/Railag is uninteresting. He fell in love with a not-so-bright girl and was ready to do anything for her; now, it's unknown where he is. It's a silly, abrupt change in character after the "transformation" from Agrail to Railag. Zehir, on the other hand, is interesting. If they had made him a Rastaman, as the Evil Necromancer suggested, it would have been even better.

Actually, the wedding was interrupted, and one becomes queen after the coronation, not after the wedding. Nicholas didn't just fail to defeat three demons; he sent the entire huge demon army to Shi'o and died at the hand of Agrail only because Agrail, thanks to his love for Isabel, was probably already half-demon by that point. So, everything is very logical; the only illogical thing is that they removed Ra'ylag from the Tribes of the East.

Without a doubt, it's Markel. Agrail is also decent, but he doesn't like himself enough.

It would be good to introduce Rutger into the campaign.

Bring Markel back to life, and the Undead will become the ultimate race. Instead, they could have added a hero with the Death Knight ability, but instead of 50%, it would be 100% of destroyed creatures.

Markela can no longer be brought back to life, thanks to Zephyr, of course. As for Agrail... well, he doesn't look like a demon at all. For quite some time, I believed that Agrail was a former avid TE-demon worshiper who later fell in love with Isabel, and so on. This explains his small size compared to ordinary demons, as well as the staff and the dinosaur he rides. And even the transformation after the Ritual of True Nature looks quite logical. But it seems that it has been mentioned more than once that Agrail is indeed a demon.

Why Rutger specifically? Is he somehow special?

2 Warrior

Nicholas didn't just fail to defeat three demons; he sent the entire huge demon army to Shi'o.

Where did you see an army? If I remember correctly, in the scripted video, Nicholas hits one horned demon three times, after which it dies, but, oh the horror, now three horned demons are running towards our hero. He's already afraid of such a huge number, and he takes out an amulet of Chaos Guardians from his pocket (or rather, from his neck), after which the three demons teleport away. Was there an army of four demons? Although, the idea that he "defeated" an entire army and then Agrael finished him off with a laser looks even worse.

Agrael was probably already half-demon by that point, thanks to his love for Isabel.

Eh, well, is being a demon a state of mind? And if he had shown love to Friede along with Isabel, would he have become not a demon at all? Oh, wait, you're right, he probably lost the second demonic half because of his love for Tieru. I hope my sarcasm doesn't offend anyone;)

Thanks to Zehir, Markel can no longer be brought back to life.

Well, there's still room for debate here; the skull had to come from somewhere. This could be the basis for a scenario: collect Markel piece by piece, and then...

I don't know... as far as I remember, Agrail was a demon, albeit a small one. And why Marquel?:eek: But the worship of the undead is starting to scare me, to be honest.

It would be better to add a hero with the Death Knight ability, but instead of 50%, 100% of the destroyed creatures.

Yeah, and then give Haven a hero who can turn paladins into Seraphs, and for free...

2Evil Necromancer I didn't understand it at first either... judging by the video, he just killed 4 demons, but later in the campaign, it is clearly stated that Nicholas sent the entire demonic army to Shio and (probably didn't kill anyone:D).

Actually, I saw it with Agrail. And regarding Tieru, you're wrong to suspect Agrail of such tendencies. Even when he was a demon, he carried the succubus Biara with him. And a demon is truly a state of mind, not an external appearance. But seriously, why only half? Because the first attack didn't affect the Griffin's heart, and the second, he starts with a punishing strike. On the other hand, demonic troops obey and have corresponding skills.

Turning Paladins into Seraphs? What's the point? The death of 100% of the creatures in a unit – what can compare to that? Only a nuclear strike. The initial version has a 25% chance of a strike, and then 1% for each level.

I don't even know, but there's a certain detachment from everything that's happening in Rutger's gaze. Besides, his biography speaks of this. He seems like an ordinary vagrant... But in reality, I think it's people like him who become saints. He's almost an earthly incarnation of Elrath.

And regarding Markel: Zephyr fought him again when he was trying to find and free his father. And Markel looked quite alive and just as charismatic.

I saw it in Agrail. And as for Tieru, you're wrong to suspect him of such inclinations. Even when he was a demon, he carried the succubus Biara with him.

Is Agrail 1/2 dark elf, 1/2 demon, or what?

Regarding Agrail – he isn't a demon at all, or maybe he's half-demon. Somewhere there's a story about a warrior (supposedly a human, possibly an elf) who was either a traitor or something else. Anyway, when he was lying there, battered and dying after a battle, Kha-Beleth came to him and took him away. (If I find it again, I'll post the link.) I immediately thought that this was Agrail.
