Since there are more and more newcomers on the site, it would be good to introduce ABSOLUTE beginners to the specifics of the "Heroes" language.
I ask for your help, because newcomers are our future.

Do we have any slang?:eek: I don't remember any.

Well, not exactly slang... but you know, complete newbies might not even understand basic terms like "art" or "skill"...

Well, it's not exactly slang... but you know, complete beginners might not even understand basic terms like "art," "skill," etc.

Here! So, let's begin!
Art – artifact (magic sword, cloak, etc.)
Skill – hero or creature ability
Creature – a unit (read: a soldier in the hero's army)

Excuse me, could you tell me what the word "ability" means?

Sorry, but could you tell me what the word 'ability' means?

An ability is a special skill of a hero or creature.

:) Okay, let's create a "Large Heroic Encyclopedic Dictionary" :) By the way, regarding art: it can also be interpreted as "a sketch or model" or some kind of artwork. And I'll add some more words to the dictionary: spell - a spell spell points - mana points P.S. Tengro, you could gather all the words and attach them to your first post so that everything is together.

I've encountered these terms on a server:
Creatures or Crechi-creatures
Horned-head - Druid
Mani - Mana
Spell or Zaklinki or Klinya - spells and enchantments
Dam or Damag - Damage
Hits - same as damage, but in numbers and for a large army!
Helsy - life
Helsy snyal - reduced life
Goldy - gold
Goldany - gold
Necrosy - necromancers

and of course, there are a bunch of various abbreviations like SoD, WoG, AB, RoE, WW, etc.
also, def (defense), cast (cast a spell), crack (refers to utopias and the like, pyramids, and mausoleums), "ramp" (when a random map has a lot of space filled with mountains)...

Health - life
Health removed = life reduced

Maybe it could also be "holsty" (that's what we call it):cool:

"Pandus" (when a random map has a lot of empty space that is simply filled with mountains)...

And here I am, and I'm not really a newbie, but I didn't know that term :o It turns out that it's useful for not only newbies to visit here...;)

Here! I didn't know that either!

Useful! I learned something new myself.

There are indeed many words related to heroes, and each player may have their own variations regarding the objects and processes that occur during the game. There are also many common terms that have become established among players. I also have a stock of words, but not all of them are used because many of them are simply used by me, and no one really knows what I mean (in some cases). ;) For example: "Khalyavnitsa" (to go around the "khalyavnitsas") - means to collect weekly income from mills, elves, and hire creatures that do not require payment. "Zachet" - all creatures in the castle have been purchased. "Zaslanets" - a hero running around with a weak army (for reconnaissance). And so on. :)
