R: Can you explain in a few words what the difference is between Goths and Satanists?
Buck: Hmm... have you played Heroes III?
R: Yeah
Buck: Well, the Necropolis castle represents Goths)
Buck: And Inferno represents Satanists)

If we're talking about subcultures, the light-skinned elves are closer to hippies or something ethno-folk, while the dark-skinned elves are more like metalheads. That's just my opinion.

As for races, I think I'll reiterate what I said earlier: Orcs are like Mongols, Dwarves are like Scandinavians, Humans are like classic medieval Europe, Mages are like the Middle East (I mean the style, not the mythology), and light-skinned elves are like Native Americans (again, in terms of style).

But there is a difference between them.

There is a difference between Goths and Emos; in general, they are variations of punk. That's what we're talking about.

Yes, I don't really disagree with that ;)

Denis96, well, he called punks "orcs"...:mad: And by the way, yes... goths and emos are also punks.
I agree about Necropolis, but Inferno are Satanists... but that's obvious.

Quantum, :D

The rest... IMHO, they can't be divided into subcultures.

Sorry, I just didn't know that "orc" was an insult. For me, on the contrary, "orcs" are something to be proud of, something beautiful! (I really enjoy playing as them:))

I was just kidding, so there's no need to apologize. Everything's fine.

If we talk about subcultures:
Necropolis:smile24: Goths, and the new upgrade is like emo)))
Dungeon: Definitely Satanists:smile51:
Haven: Metalheads (all in metal)
Dungeon: Punks (look at Lethos:smile40:)
Fortress: Chanson singers (especially the Bone Throwers and Pikemen)
Academy: Simply national and religious fanatics
Stronghold: They resemble those who smoke cigarettes at night
Sylvan: Unknown, except that the new upgrade looks like representatives of sexual minorities

By the way, why are Elves rappers?

I think that, according to their harsh laws, the Dark Elves are similar to medieval Italians. They also divided themselves into clans and were masters of making poisons. As for the Orcs, I agree, they are more similar to the Tatar-Mongol yoke.

The Demons remind me of the fascists, who wanted to populate the entire world with their race and make others slaves. And the Griffin Empire has turned into the USSR; remember the new units – communists. Let Alaric be Lenin, and Laslo be Stalin, the most ruthless tyrant. And here is Laslo's attack on the gnomes, like the USSR's war with Finland (one of the Scandinavian countries).

Finland is not considered a Scandinavian country, even geographically.
And ethnically, Finns are closer to Estonians than to Swedes.
But overall, it's interesting.

Finland belongs to the Scandinavian countries. By origin, Finns are closer to Estonians, but Finland was part of Sweden for quite a long time, so they adopted a significant part of Swedish culture. Moreover, their capital (before joining the Russian Empire) Turku was built by the Swedes. Today, this city is the second largest in Finland after Helsinki and a major administrative center.

Humans are America, demons are Germany, the undead... are Goths? Dark elves are definitely Russia, elves are Native Americans (or greenskins), and wizards are Arabs! Dwarves... I don't know? Orcs... maybe homeless people? Although, they're all Neanderthals!
Just a little bit in poetic form. I wrote the last sentence to make it rhyme.:D

There's no need to reinvent the wheel; the developers have an official stance on this, which they don't hide. For example, humans definitely aren't America, and they are certainly not Europe. Moreover, according to the official lore, different human duchies correspond to different countries (you can tell by the names: the Duchy of Griffon has many Slavic names, while the Duchy of Raven has Italian names, etc.). You can find all this out if you're interested.

I’m not reinventing the wheel. I just think that this race represents this country. Sorry if I accidentally offended you.
