Posts from Physics in Heroes 5...

I found a bug in the physics model of Heroes 5, so to speak...
It concerns the griffin's ability called "Strike from the Sky."
Quote from the magazine "MIR FANTASIKI":
"Winged steeds are generally not suitable for close combat with ground forces. A griffin cannot swoop down on its prey like a hawk. To prevent inertia from crushing it against the ground, a heavy griffin will have to start braking long before it descends to human height. And it will slowly descend, belly-first, onto the spears.

Air cavalry will be able to attack infantry with slightly more success from a low-altitude flight. But in this case, griffins, to avoid hitting each other with their wings, will have to approach the target in a sparse chain. And they themselves will suffer heavy losses from the spears stuck in the ground. Flying creatures generally have hollow bones. And an eagle's skull is as fragile as a shell compared to a horse's skull."
What do you think?

Yeah, but where would they get the stones (those lousy bombers) from the ground – it’s hard to take off, and there are no stones in the air.
Don’t forget that a unit on the battlefield is a figure of the army – 57k skeletons under attack by 230 griffins from the air – there’s plenty of room to maneuver, and each griffin attacks its own target.

According to one theory, mana is the excrement of some desert beetles!

There's an expression, "manna from heaven." People wandered in the desert, starving, then prayed to God, and later they found this manna. I don't remember how scientists explained this phenomenon, though. It seems like it was some kind of bacteria or something similar:confused:
