Posts from Discussion of the Necropolis faction.

:smile02: There's nothing gloomy if you constantly follow the events, like I do.))))
If someone liked the 3D view of the city in a gothic style, I hasten to please you: the city view will be in animated 2D, which is quite good if you compare it to the third game.)))) And I think the Egyptian style will be simply amazing:smile02:

You mean 2D?:eek:!? So, the city image will be flat?:eek::mad:? That's no good. Well, let's say the style is interesting, but the faction really turned out too dark (this is a strategy game, not a thriller!), at least look at the picture of a citizen (:smile06:) (in the faction information, click on the link), or the spider girl! It's creepy! I hope there won't be too much blood in "Heroes 6"?

The age rating is 12+, so there won't be more blood than in Heroes of Might and Magic V, just like with any other type of violence.

Well, thank goodness! But in general, war is violence! As are murders. But in "Heroes," it has always been portrayed in a good-natured way, without severed limbs and heads lying around. But looking at the claws of the future ghoul, that's all you can imagine.

What about the Russian version? Will there be an official release, or is the game's release in Russia and Ukraine (:smile16:) not planned?

Nothing is known about this yet, but Heroes must be released in Russia and the CIS countries because there are quite a few Heroes fans living there. Besides, almost all major PC projects are now officially released in Russia.

Yeah, living corpses should be really fun).

Don't you think there's something in common?

Koteiko, it really does look like it! But it's most likely a coincidence. It's unlikely that the developers of "Heroes 6" drew inspiration from Starcraft.

I somehow only just noticed the Necropolis units now. I'll probably share my thoughts on this.

Skeletons are good, but I hope they won't be stabbing with a dart in melee combat the way they hold it in their hands. In Diablo, they also attacked with spears like that, but it's inconvenient to stab downwards.

Ghouls are also good. But why do they need steel claws like Wolverine? They could have made them ordinary. And yes, it seems like the era of slow zombies is over. Although I liked them, even because of their slowness. They were very resilient.
And the ghoul upgrade looks VERY similar to the ghost from Heroes of Might and Magic V. The color is the same, and so are the rings on their heads. It's a pity.

Ghosts... now they are female. That's fine.

Liches. Hmm... although maybe they won't be called liches, but they don't look like them anyway. They are more similar to the vampires from Heroes of Might and Magic III. But overall, it's not bad.

Vampires. Well, this is just a regular death knight without a horse. Now it's clear why they didn't make death knights. Heh.

Sphinx. It's unclear why the sphinx is dead; they can also be alive, so they could easily fit into the army of mages. But the appearance is still good; maybe it's better not to make them for the Necropolis after all.

Spider. There's not much to say here; it's a regular unit. But I think I'm starting to guess where these creatures will eventually end up, moving away from the necromancers

Don't you think that the new Necropolis has become terribly similar to the undead from Warcraft? There are also pyramids and ziggurats, sphinxes. The Lich looks like the King of the Dead, the ghost resembles a banshee, the zombie is just like in Warcraft... It's not very original. I'll play as Humans and Elves.

I'm very interested to know if only Necromancers can transform castles.

I think that this reference to the ancient Egyptian style is enough. They've slightly changed the "zoo," probably replacing three creatures. That's good too. Necromancy now works during battles – an unprecedented (or am I mistaken?) phenomenon in the series, but it's a good idea. For now, I like the direction the developers are taking, especially regarding the Necropolis.

You're wrong! There's the Raise Dead spell, which is basically the same thing.

Where did you find the images of the creatures? Show me, I don't see them! Only in the video...
By the way, I've always thought that the dead guys with claws are just zombies...

You're wrong! There's a spell called "Raise Dead," which is essentially the same thing.

Not quite. The "Raise Dead" spell is exactly that – a spell that uses a hero's mana, and its effect depends on the level of skill in a particular magic. And, by the way, it's not only available to Necromancers. The new racial ability, however, now charges during battle, as your own and enemy units die, and the effectiveness of the used ability depends on how full the scale is (and the level of the corresponding skill, presumably). These manipulations are only available to the Undead. The end result is the same, but it's achieved in completely different ways.

You can see some of the well-known creatures here. There is no exact information about the unknown units of Necropolis, only in one of the artworks you could see some new creatures. There will be no zombies, ghouls will be instead, it's something completely different.

There won't be zombies; instead, there will be ghouls, which is something completely different.

I hope these ones won't take half the battle to reach the enemy. Because what annoyed me about zombies was their slowness, not their appearance.

Well, judging by that battle video, the ghouls run quite far.

According to the developers, they are aiming to eliminate useless units. However, "tanks" will still exist, and each unit will have a clearly defined role on the battlefield.
