Regarding the aesthetics – no one doubts that. All the phantom-mystical images are very beautiful (let’s take Boris Valeggio as an example).
The point is that in the entire Might and Magic series, a Lich was a terrifying undead man (an old man). But here, suddenly, it’s in a skirt/dress. (A Scotsman? :))
Who can explain why?

P.S. Please don’t be offended, fans of Liches and Arch-Liches (Another joke. A Lich grows in a mausoleum and becomes an Arch-Lich. How can you not draw a parallel with Ilyich, who is also in a mausoleum and for whom everything is just so, so very Important, so very Necessary...)

What skirts are you talking about? It's like a shamanic costume.=))

Mages always wear dresses!

Mages wear cloaks!
And liches are dressed in some kind of dress on a frame. :)
But still, they are beautiful.

I think the word "beautiful" isn't quite right here (you know why). But "impressive" – that's more accurate.

I have nothing against their "skirts"; I actually like them, and I like the undead's outfits too. But the color of the Archlich's robes in the first five minutes left me puzzled. It certainly looks beautiful, but for a Necropolis unit, it's a bit strange, to say the least. Their units have enough of that acidic green color, but switching to white...

the true color of the archlich's robe is red, just like my avatar.

by the way, that's a good idea. I think red suits them better! Otherwise, in white, they look like a bride, only scary and withered down to the bone :p
It depends on what associations you have. For example, white can be compared to ash, which is what a lich turns things into with its burning beam. But red is clear to everyone – the color of blood.

Beauty is certainly important, but logic should be the priority:
1. The creature's affiliation with a faction.
2. A logical habitat.
3. A consistent graphical representation of the unit, in accordance with mythology and human history.
4. Combat characteristics and abilities (again, to avoid contradictions).
5. The quality and beauty of the unit's artwork.

I hope this explains my posts.

I would say that ash is more related to gray. There is some white in it, but not as much. It would be interesting to see an Archlich in camouflage (white-gray) attire.

No, no need to overdo it, or we'll turn him into a tough guy. They already look quite nice. It's good that the archlich is in white; he reminds me of the pyromaniac from Silent Hill, where the ash was absolutely white.

I think liches shouldn't have legs like in this picture.


I don't think they need them at all.
