Posts from Entities in Heroes 5. Auto-translated

I really like the Ents from the original version, but the Ents from the beta version didn't appeal to me. The Ents from the beta version seem unfamiliar to me, although they look pretty good, even fierce.

The beta version is much better. Significantly. Compared to the original, it's like a spider that had four legs cut off. :smile18: :smile48: :smile48: :smile18:

Discussing the appearance of Ents, I can say that in the game, it's almost exactly as I wanted it to be and probably how I imagined it, almost 100% similar to the Treeman from Warhammer's old edition, the Wood Elves!
But the new one is just ridiculous – thin, hooked hands, all sorts of nonsense!

These creatures are the most resilient in the game, and it's always difficult to fight them (unless they're neutral, of course). I quite like their appearance, but the newly created ones seem to have some seaweed sticking out of their mouths.

Oh, people! The things you say about the poor Ents! Some call them toothy cabinets, others describe them as matchstick-like arachnids that eat themselves... And your gargoyles are like little nightstands... In any case, our opinion doesn't change much – the game is already made. Unless we talk about mods... Personally, like most people, I'm used to the original.

I like these, but their legs are a bit off. They could have made the legs look like roots (with branches). :smile50:

The Ents look more powerful in the beta, and their appearance better suits their characteristics. But I'm still used to the original ones.

The regular Ents look more familiar. From the beta, they resemble hunchbacked "muscle-bound old men." They are better than the standard ones, in my opinion; they are beautiful, slightly slender, but after all, they are trees. And aren't all our trees three arm-lengths in circumference? The standard ones look like those neat, urban-style trees.

what kind of neat, urban-style creature could exist in a deep forest? ))
I only saw Ents from the beta in this thread, and I still think they're cooler. They're big and powerful. But looking at this skinny birch tree, I wouldn't believe for a second that it has a lot of defense and the bulk of a giant.

How can there be a neat, urban type in a deep forest? ))

If we're talking about it, what makes their city so beautiful? And this one is so "pretty":). But the one from the beta is hideous! It looks very bad, the proportions are wrong.

No way... That's the nature of trees; they should have an "imperfect ratio." At least, I think a symmetrical tree is the ugliest kind of tree; it's not a lamppost, after all. By the way, the beauty of trees lies in their asymmetry. But that's if we're talking about the trees we encounter every day. Ents are something in between a humanoid and a tree; in my opinion, both options are generally worthy of each other, but I still see ents as 5-meter-tall giants, incredibly powerful, but incredibly slow.

In general, they are best designed in Disciples 2, I agree – both the small, large, and great ones. In Heroes 5, the regular ones are just ugly, while the ancient and wild ones are very beautiful, tall, and majestic. In the beta version, the ent looks AWFUL:mad:, sorry. A forest monster, a toothy leshy. And in the third game, there was nothing good about them – just walking logs WITHOUT leaves. Have you forgotten that elves are the most beautiful and noble race? And the ents from the beta should go in the trash, or maybe in Disciples, where such scary creatures would fit:eek:

What is really bad is the ent's speed; the developers messed up with that:mad:. A tree cannot run that fast:confused:. They should have given it a ranged attack (not shooting), like cyclops, for example:D.

Why do these Ents need to be beautiful? They are ancient, living trees that inhabit the depths of the forest. There shouldn't even be talk of beauty. These aren't birches:D

What's really bad is the Ent's speed; the developers messed up with that. A tree can't run that fast; they should have given it a ranged attack (not shooting), like Cyclops, for example.

What do you call a ranged attack? Isn't it shooting? And why do Ents need it? And who will they throw? Cyclops throw goblins... but Ents, dryads? Or dancing elves? Elven archers? You yourself wrote that elves are the most beautiful and noble race. Why would they need such cruelty?

In some game (I don't remember which one), these creatures threw stones at their enemies.

What’s really bad is the Ents’ speed; the developers messed up with that. A tree shouldn’t be able to run that fast.

How do you know how a tree should run? +) Maybe it runs fast, but its initiative is not that great. And the balance issue is also a factor.

In some game (I don’t remember which one), Ents threw stones at enemies.

Hmm... LotR: Battle for Middle-Earth? %)
