Hmm... what about this? It could be a reason to create an Orc race! But then, there should only be one or three Death Knights for the campaign. And the regular heroes should be Orcs. Or Barbarians. Otherwise, it's a strange race: Orcs led by Death Knights! What a mishmash it would be! :)

Orcs: We were born in fire, we were slaves, we were exiled to the deserts (in their view, it probably looks like that), but the dark people (Death Knights) will help us. Together with the dark people, we will defeat the foolish wizards and become free!

I already know what tricks the knights will use to gain the trust of the Orcs and turn them against the Necromancers.

Then, the philosophy of the dark knights was to gain the trust of the orcs. Just as we are humble outcasts, so are you. You have strength, and we have experience. Let us join forces and restore justice to the land. Let those who once exiled us realize the full depth of their insignificance. But it will be too late!

Exactly! And then, the orcs will no longer be needed, and everything will go back to normal.

Death Knights, to incite the orcs against the necromancers: These necromancers are also mages; they are the ones who exiled us, and their ancestors exiled you. They are our greatest enemy! Forward, mighty warriors! (To themselves): What a bunch of idiots!

P.S. This could really be the basis for another expansion pack.

Back then, the philosophy of the orcs themselves, following the Death Knights, was also important: these dark people lead us into battle against the mages who exiled us. They lead us into battle against the necromancers, descendants of the mages. Until we take revenge, the dark people, with their strength, will help us. But after that... Orcs are only for orcs! We don't need masters!

Hmm... It's like a story from WarHammer repeating itself, only I don't remember who tricked whom in the end. Because I abandoned it.:)

Necromancer, seeing an armada of orcs led by death knights charging at them: OH CRAP!!! :D

But seriously, here it is: Hmm, these worthless little vampires think they are capable of opposing us... It seems they still haven't learned their lesson... It's time to remind them! Attack!

And at the most climactic moment of the battle, the vampires betray the Necromancer and side with their higher brothers. I should create a poll to see who wants to implement this idea and send it to nivala?
0% - Nah, why bother?
100% - Finally! It's about time orcs were introduced! Great idea!

So, the Nival Interactive philosophy was: Why bother and strive for quality? If it's a well-known brand, people will buy it anyway. And Orcs are a thing of the past. So, they made Gnomes, and now they can move on to Hobbits. :)

No, Nival isn't the kind of company that chases after brands.

Well, if that's the case...

3DO fans: Almighty Cunningham! Who did we leave our creation with? (sobbing)

The Nostalgics' Philosophy: Oh, how good things were back then! The grass was greener, the trees were taller, and "Heroes" was even more heroic... :)

The philosophy of optimists: everything will be fixed with the add-on. If not with the first, then with the second. But no later than with the thirty-seventh. And then everything will be fine. My opinion is that this is not nostalgia, but an adequate reaction to the carelessness of Nival and Ubisoft.

Heh. I'm an optimist myself, but not to that extent:)

Rakshasa philosophy: We were a free people, independent of anyone. Until we discovered the beauty of sugar... oh... moon sugar... May the mages be blessed for giving us this sweet white powder! We are ready to die for it!

P.S. Those who play Morrowind will understand.;)

Heroes is not Morrowind:) Poor Khajiit addicts:)
Rakshasa philosophy: Mages created us solely for war, but why do we need Rajas then?

Rakshasa philosophy: Mages created us solely for war, but why do we need Rajas then?

Khajiit are more like Rastafarians:)

Mages didn't create Rakshasa, they subdued them. Read the history of mages in the corresponding section.

Minotaur philosophy: We were enslaved, but that's okay. We will work and fight on their side, and when our time comes, the dark elves will learn what MINOTAUR RAGE is!!!

Following the philosophy of the Minotaurs: As long as the Lords of the Dungeon were strong, we were equals among the inhabitants of the underworld. Our courage brought us fame as indomitable warriors. But time has passed, and we have become slaves. One day, the Lords will return, and we will help them in the fight against the current masters!

So, this is already the third add-on!;)

The philosophy of the philosophers of Heroes 5: What else can we release...? Oh! I'll write a philosophy about Minotaurs!;)
