In each new installment of Heroes of Might and Magic, we are fortunate to see beautiful cities, wonderful soundtracks, interesting characters, creatures, and much more...
Where did the artists draw their inspiration from?
I am interested in what cities or their peoples, in your opinion, could exist in the real world (described or depicted on screen) and in what country. Of course, if we perceive the magic of the world as allegories and metaphors, as well as other literary devices. But let's put it simply:
The Fortress (Swamp) from the third Heroes game, in my opinion, with its architecture, strongly resembles the pyramid of the Mayan Indians. The methods of warfare also correspond - weakening and poisonous toxins. Exotic flora and fauna (lizards and giant insects have become inhabitants), which is reminiscent of South America.
I don't quite understand the Gnolls. In my opinion, they are something like jackals or hyenas. Distant relatives of dogs :) But let's get back to the city.
From another perspective, the Fortress resembles the city that was in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. If I'm not mistaken, it's Singapore.

Due to lack of time, I provided a brief preliminary post.
I hope for a response among fans of the series.
