The army of the Wood Elves...:smile19:
The Wood Brotherhood is distinguished by having the highest number of fast units, but in defense, they are weaker than the Empire... But the Wood Elves are not only distinguished by their speed... They are the luckiest creatures... their armies are always accompanied by luck, and their sharp mind and reaction allow them to easily track down the enemy and detect the hidden...
Although all elves are united by their faith in Sylvana, like people who believe in the Almighty, they practice their religion in different ways...
Relatively, several groups can be distinguished:
Wood Brotherhood, Brotherhood of Avengers, Order of Nature and Elite of the Golden Forests.
The Wood Brotherhood is subordinate to no one except the supreme ruler; everyone who joins it is free and independent, but must protect their native forests and lands.
The Brotherhood of Avengers is led by two people, a half-brother and half-sister – Wrath and Fury... Each is elected for five years for their merits as an assassin. Although the Wood Elves are kind creatures, there are also cruel and cunning hunters among them.
The Order of Nature is governed by the Council of Druids, the highest servants of Sylvana. Like the Order of Light, it does not have militant methods but seeks to preserve harmony and beauty...
The Elite of the Golden Forests is the main force of the Elven lands. These troops serve directly to the king and queen. Trained more to defend than to kill, they are able to remain calm even in the most dangerous battles... For nothing can break their spirit and faith....

Fairies look like triplets, with wings and horns, and not like overgrown drowned women.

It's interesting how the witch will jump and run in heels; she walks slowly even in those...

She's so agile that she can even give a good kick with those same heels. And she walks so slowly to annoy the enemies.

Does anyone disagree?

For example... I do.
I took a look. It's a little funny... you might as well say that prehistoric mushrooms are nothing more than Dungeon Tears (the glowing blue crystals).

The Hydra is a mythical nine-headed snake, not a dinosaur.

A snake? Hmm...
And once again - there are no dinosaurs in Heroes.

Maybe we should stop discussing the characteristics and appearance of creatures; if you don't like it, don't read it.

I WANT to read it!!

Regarding Nightmares, does anyone remember that there were Fires in Warlords? Why didn't Nival want to call the Hell Hounds that? It's a stupid name...

Not as original as "LIGHT AND DARK," of course... but it's pretty good. It seems that everything you don't "remake" is stupid to you. :rolleyes:

And reading the last one... well, that's really cool :)

Although all elves are united by their faith in Sylvana.

They have the highest number of fast units, but they are weaker in defense than the Imperials... But Forest Elves are distinguished not only by their speed... They are the luckiest creatures... their armies are always accompanied by luck, and their sharp mind and reaction allow them to easily track and detect hidden enemies...

Tell me about the Rotting Tree; I liked it... or will I have to wait a long time for that?...

The Fairies look like they're from a circus, with wings and horns, not like overgrown drowned women.

Ugh... it's just awful.

I'll just tell you the basics... since you're so eager...
Dungeon is the race of the Night Brotherhood, the antithesis of the Forest faction. The dark elves of this world are much more evil than those on Asha... These altered, godless creatures, once bright and kind elves, now bring chaos and malice. Hating everything pure and beautiful, they seek to take revenge on everyone for their fate...
The dark elves appeared as a result of paying the price for helping a dark deity... A curse transformed them into cold-blooded and ruthless creatures, but left their external beauty and charm... They are attracted to everything vile, dark, and terrifying. They perform bloody rituals in honor of their demigoddess, the Black Queen, drink blood, and drain life force. They are capable of taking a soul and turning it into mana.
The troops of the Night Brotherhood consist of the dark elves themselves, werewolves, terrible manticores, repulsive spiders, and minotaurs...
The architecture of the dark elves is not pleasing to the eye... they live in rotting giant trees, as well as under their roots... They hunt at night, not so much for profit as for entertainment...
They don't like humor... even dark humor... they speak arrogantly and eloquently... and then tear their interlocutor to pieces or drink their soul.

No, it's quite simple:
Hell Hounds - Fires - Nightmares... That's how I would do it.

Go here and look for the Lernaean Hydra... and there's your answer!

Fairies and dryads are the best... in King's Bounty... you can't get enough of looking at them... they're adorable... real beauties :)

And one more time – there are no dinosaurs in Heroes.

They exist in the old universe. The project doesn't necessarily have to be about Ashan.

At least someone supports it. The Hydra on Asghan is a half-dinosaur...

:smile22: Dear WisTrit, please calm down...
The Hydra, created by Nival, has little in common with the original source, except for the 3 (6) heads. This is what a real Hydra looks like:
The Lernaean Hydra is a monster with a snake's body and nine dragon heads. The Hydra lived in a swamp near the city of Lerna. It would crawl out of its lair and destroy entire herds. Victory over the Hydra was one of the labors of Hercules.
The most accurate representation was in the fourth game...
There are no other options, unless it's a single-celled organism... but... that's biology, not mythology.:smile29:
And in general, enough arguing off-topic:(

Beastmaster - an elf in a cloak, with a face covering and a very long saber.

Hydra, created by Nival.

It was also present in the early Heroes games from NWC, so Nival isn't the one who created it.
