Posts from Heroic jargon and slang. Auto-translated

I just went to the "Tactics" section and started thinking about the word "тряпки". Are those ghosts or something?

Explanatory dictionary of D. N. Ushakov: Rag, rags, f. 1. A piece of fabric. Wipe the dust with a rag. Wipe the floor with a wet rag. A doll made of rags. 2. only pl. Women's clothes (colloquial, derogatory). She only thinks about clothes. She spent a hundred rubles on clothes. 3. fig. A spineless, weak-willed, insignificant person (colloquial, contemptuous). He mistook a weakling for an important person! Gogol. Pavel Vasilyevich was a weakling at heart and didn't know how to refuse. Chekhov.

Yes, it's funny. I'm rolling on the floor. The question, however, remains. The "School of Mastery" section exists so that newcomers can learn something, right? So, do you think it's easy for a beginner to understand this:

a) Red orb and ranged attack with a golden bow.
b) Combination of a red orb and a collection of spells: slow + curse + weakness + antiluck. Or the "Angelic Alliance" collection. This is rare, but it's also a viable tactic.
c) How to conduct the final battle (in my opinion).

- Mass haste and mass slow.

My linguistic abilities are not enough. If a dictionary of such expressions exists, please provide a link to the topic if it's not difficult.

I honestly don't know where this came from. I'll translate what I can. Massslow (from English "Slow" - slowing down) - general slowing down. Masshast or masshaist (from English "Heist" - acceleration) - general acceleration. I have no idea what "sbornir" is, and it doesn't seem to be from Heroes 5, so I'm not very familiar with it, but: Slow - slowing down. Antiluck (from English "Luck") - bad luck. Wikness (from English "Weakness") - weakness. Curse (from English "Curse") - curse. Now, some guesses: Red orb - most likely a red ball (I've heard this somewhere in Heroes 3), because orbs are large balls that roll down hills. Curse (from English "Curse") - curse. But whoever wrote this either wanted to show off or doesn't respect other people. I was able to translate all of this only thanks to playing a lot of games with foreigners - they often refer to these words, and I guessed by the similarity in sound.

"red orb" - a sphere of prohibition. It looks like a red ball; you won't mistake it. "collection for slow+curse+weakness+antiluck" - this refers to the Cursed Armor artifact, which is assembled from 4 other artifacts and grants the effect that the aforementioned 4 spells are cast on enemies at the beginning of the battle. (Hopefully, it's not necessary to explain that "art" = artifact?). The rest seems to be already described.

"Orb" is simply "sphere," which means the thing used to roll down hills has a rather unoriginal name. In all these slang terms, knowledge of English plays a crucial role; it looks much sillier when people throw around abbreviations or "their own" names.

Exactly. Some people come up with really unappealing names...

what are КВ, Dimension Door?

what are кв, дд?

Give me a link, man. Otherwise it's hard to understand what you're talking about.

CLAN WAR DAMAGE DEALER

CLAN WAR DAMAGE DEALER

And the comma?

sorry, the Russian version always had a triple.

"Buratini and firewood" sounds quite brutal, I think.

I don't like the hero slang. What kind of unit do you get?

Yes, it's pretty much the same everywhere. Half of the expressions are found in other MMOs as well.
