Yeah, repainting the starting creatures like that isn't very cool. You can do it a few times, but if I saw snipers in 7 different color schemes, it would leave a bad impression...

I'm reading this thread and realize that I haven't seen more than half of the creatures being discussed:confused:, even though I've encountered all sorts of messengers (of peace, war, etc.: 2000 hit points each, and they don't attack anyone on the battlefield) and griffins (and, I think, on the same map). But what are these nightmares, sorceresses, metamorphs, and Santa Gremlins? Explain it to me, please:smile33:!

What version of Heroes of Might and Magic do you have?
The creatures mentioned above are only available in version 3.58.

Theoretically, I just have version 3.5, but where did the messengers and dragons come from then? And where can I find this version to look at? My Heroes 3 was given to me by a friend ages ago, from who knows what disc – I should probably go around the stores looking for a decent anthology; I think version 3.58 will definitely be in there.

In stores? Unlikely :). Although, I won't make any definitive statements.
You can patch the game to version 3.58; see here.

I disagree with you; all these creatures exist in earlier versions of Heroes of Might and Magic, at least they are available in the map editor.

P.S. - Who are werewolves? I've seen them in battles, but I've never played with them. How are they?

I've never heard of "Verwulvy" before. Could you please provide a screenshot?

Werewolves are shapeshifters; it's strange that you haven't seen them at all while playing the game. Here's what they can do: they can transform any warrior (except undead, I think) into a werewolf, but only on days 14-16. They can cast Berserk on themselves after each attack and regenerate 20 HP per turn.

Here's my question: what do ghosts do? I mean, those white ones that you can get in the Chamber of the Dead? The description says they can attract lost souls...

Ghosts are a wonderful new addition; they bring the third game back to its roots – King's Bounty, where ghosts resurrected the units they killed, turning them into copies of themselves. In large battles, they are perhaps the biggest advantage:)... the difference from vampires is that they don't regenerate, and they also create new ones:)...

The downside is that each day there are fewer and fewer of them, and this is an incentive for new battles:D

Werewolves are shapeshifters; it's strange if you haven't seen them even once while playing the game.

There's nothing strange about that, as Werewolves only appeared in version 3.58.

"Messengers..." - excellent units - in the mid-game - a source of easy experience, very effective in skilled hands.
Santa Gremlins - at the beginning of the game, they can be devastating, as one Santa deals as much damage as a dozen!
Werewolves - I generally hate them (although I'm very glad that such monsters appeared in the game) - I only attack them when I'm 100% sure they won't bite me even once (they've ruined my strategy many times with their bites and turning into themselves, for example, my upgraded Fairies) =))
I rarely recruit them into my army, except for Fire Elementals or Nightmares (but only when I have a good number of them), or Snipers (although I never recruit too many of them).

hmm... my dragonling speaks ;) it wasn't forbidden to include it in the poll :)) but seriously, it's not that important, all the new ones are good, centaurs are much stronger than grand elves, santagremlins are a must-have in a tower hero's army, on day 1, 40 damage each ;) haha, but after that, I distribute santagremlins evenly :D so as not to forget about them after upgrading. They're a cheat in the first few weeks, if you're a good tactician, you can do a lot in the first week. Sorceresses are very strong and useful creatures, I prefer them even to wizards. Fire elementals are cool, nightmares are even better, messengers, even from the original 3.5 with slightly higher strength than diamond golems, I don't like them, just like metamorphs.
