Posts from The most beautiful / ugly death.

Which unit in Necropolis has the most spectacular death animation, in your opinion?

For the Vampire Lord.

The Death Knight has arrived.

From the Death Messenger.:D

And from the Vampire Lord. They both die beautifully. It looks almost the same, but in essence, they are completely different. When messengers or ghosts die, it's as if they are freed, their souls finally find peace. It's different with vampires. It's as if they are forced to look at the sun, in powerless rage, they realize their helplessness in the face of God, and crumble into dust. Not so much beautiful as picturesque, dramatic...

Well, I don't know, I rarely see such a thing, and even when I do, I'm not in the mood for such reflections...
In my opinion, archangels die beautifully... go back to where you came from, you bastards...

In my opinion, it's the Vampire Lord.

In my opinion, the skeleton looks awesome (it falls apart so cool)!

The Lich also has a decent one.

Have you noticed that almost all Necropolis units turn to dust after death?

Well, of course, these are still the undead. Dust to dust, earth to earth...

I really like ghosts. They don't so much die as sigh with relief.

Thanks, I meant vampires, not messengers. :)

Oops, I deleted the message (I thought you might get offended)!

What is there to be offended about?:confused:

Why only Necropolis? The topic is in the "NECROPOLIS" section, but I still think that Necropolis fans always enjoy reading about death, and especially about the death of units in OTHER castles =)

So, in order:

Haven:

Archangels - no comment =) Beautiful and memorable.

Inferno:

Archdevils - it's not bad, but it can't be compared to archangels, of course...

Sylvan:

Ents =) Just because there is no other choice)) In principle, ents die quite nicely.

Necropolis:

Harbingers and Vampires. They have already been discussed here, and I have said everything I wanted to say =). I would also mention Liches - they are not bad either, although they die quickly...

Dark Elves:

Cave Hydra dies beautifully). However, the lizard makes incredibly horse-like sounds when it dies, which cannot fail to attract attention 8)

Finally, Academy =)

I think that the most work was done on the death of units from the Academy. Gremlins, gargoyles, and golems die quite normally, but starting with mages, the situation changes. Mages die for quite a long time, constantly trying to clean their robes from dust/dirt/blood, etc. Djinns, in my opinion, die very beautifully, I would even say that they spin back into the lamp, just like in the tale of Aladdin =). Rakshasas lose the shine of their limbs when they die, and as for Titans... In general, the best race in terms of unit death animations. Period!

The most beautiful death animations are those of the Vampire Lord (he burns up spectacularly, though it's a pity for him – it seems like he's suffering a lot, poor guy), the Archangel (it's very logical and appropriate – in my opinion – that he doesn't just fall into a pile of feathers or, God forbid, a completely corporeal corpse, as in the third part, but instead assumes his true form – light – and returns to where he came from), the Ghosts (they disappear into the ground in a cool way), and the Undead (it's so cool – it's as if their spirit has either finally found freedom or completely vanished from the world). The Goblins have a fun death animation – it's as if they finish themselves off with their own cannon. When Golems die, I'm just happy – it's annoying when they shake their… well, you know, and these ugly creatures are constantly doing that. The Lich's death animation is beautifully conceived (in my opinion, it's the most successful unit in the game), but the execution isn't very good – it's as if some kind of window cleaning foam is spraying out, you know, the kind they use in aerosol cans for insulation, only it's black. It's not very aesthetically pleasing. All the upgraded Demons fade away after death – it's a funny idea, but it makes them lose all their demonic qualities. They're more like beasts here, even though, according to Christian canons, demons are angels who have chosen evil. It would seem that they should die like angels – and why not? It would be very beautiful if they disappeared in a pillar of dark flame or if the ground opened up beneath them and swallowed them… Wow! I'm so excited just imagining it!
