Do you really want to know the reason for my dislike of elves? Should I start all over again?

Why not tell you? And in my opinion, although elves appear in almost every fantasy world, they are a very important part of it. In Ashan, elves exist, so it would be foolish not to include them in "Heroes 6". It would be even more foolish to come up with the idea that the leaders of the races are siblings (just like classmates from Supreme Commander 2). But that's already a flaw of the developers. And we'll find out about the fourth race soon :).

Do you really want to know the reason for my dislike of elves? Do I have to start all over again?

Yes, we all know. It's – jealousy! You're just jealous of the immortal, overpowered mages who are destined for great things, and before whose wisdom other peoples bow (with a good alignment).

P.S. In general, if you don't like stereotypical elves, the "kind and wisest, immortal saviors of the world," then I understand you. I don't like them either.

As for the topic:
Elves will probably be included, as the symbol kind of hints at it, although this could also be a simple red herring to confuse the public. But the question is:
Where did you even get the information that the rulers of the races will be relatives? After Clash of Heroes, this doesn't really work anymore, because there were also siblings (Godric, Aiden, Fiona), which, by the way, didn't prevent non-humans from being among the main characters.

Fan, when can we expect the first new factions?

Is it because of their hair?on their back

If you mean those "kind and wise, immortal saviors of the world," then I understand you. I don't like them either.

Why don't you like them? Please explain.

The described type of elves exudes pretentiousness, and moreover, these characters usually suffer from the Mary Sue syndrome and are generally extremely boring and flat characters. It is also worth considering the fact that my worldview is Neutral Evil, which implies a dislike for all kinds of "Good" characters.
But I like other types of elves, for example, elves from TES, elves from the first Majesty, elves from Thedas, and other varieties of pointy-eared creatures that do not fall under the characteristics of "universal good."

Are you saying that they are perfect in every way, is that what I understand correctly?

Batthart, you got it right.

Are you saying that they are, like, perfect? Did I understand you correctly?

Well, yes, they are turned into these "perfect superheroes," but the characters themselves turn out to be completely uncharming and uninteresting.

Everything is clear about Plesen. I’m waiting for explanations from Moning.

Okay, I'll write another treatise explaining why I dislike elves. Elves are jerks. An elf lives for a thousand years. An elf belongs to the HIGHEST, ANCIENT RACE. From birth, an elf is predisposed to do everything perfectly. Elves are the best mages in the world. Elves are the best rangers in the world. Elves are the best archers in the world. One can only envy the elven mastery of the blade; no one else is capable of achieving the same results. Elves are the best blacksmiths in the world; their LIGHT METAL ARMOR, THE STRONGEST OF ALL, surpasses even dwarven craftsmanship. Elves are the best artists in the world; their music, dances, and songs are masterpieces of world art. Elves are the wisest of the wise: no gray-haired wizard, nor a long-bearded, proud human, can even compare to a three-hundred-year-old elven youth who has absorbed the WISDOM OF THE RACE. If elves in a setting use horses, then they are the best riders in the world, gliding across rough terrain as if it were a plain. Animals are always friendly with elves and completely obey their commands, and in general, an elf is the best druid. Elves invariably make a PROPHECY centuries ago that the whole world fears, because they are the best seers, and the future, with all its variability, is as clear to them as day. Elves are the most attractive humanoid race. Elven youths are all handsome fellows, and their velvety skin is smoother than a baby's. Elves don't need to use the toilet – they are the highest race. Elves don't get sick. An elf doesn't need daily sleep; they mostly fall into a trance once a week, or spend the whole night intently watching the flames of a campfire, while the other low-born travelers snore in their sleeping bags, because they are the highest race. An elf can run across deep snow as if it were grass. If an elf is somehow killed, they will invariably kill two dozen enemies before pathetically falling to their knees and releasing their noble spirit, which awaits rebirth in a new body. Elves don't work. Peasants bend their backs from dawn to dusk to survive, soldiers endure for a pittance and praise from the sergeant, dwarves sweat in their mines, process ore, and forge. And while this is happening, elves sing songs in the forest, dance, drink wine, clap their hands, or, for fun, ambush and shoot an honest merchant who dared to pass through their forest. Elves look down on all other races as if they were dirt. An elf will invariably wrinkle their delicate face and haughtily complain that they heard and smelled the stinking human pigs from a mile away. Elves are a boring, pompous, and conceited bunch. Even a clan dwarf, obsessed with racial pride, would gladly drink ale, joke, laugh, and maybe even have a friendly brawl, but not an elf. If an elf enters a tavern, they will sit in a dark corner, pulling their hood over their face and WATCHING THE HERO INTENTLY. Elves rarely trade or cooperate with anyone; they prefer to sit in their forest with ticks and mosquitoes and "watch with a smirk the agony of the lower races." You can't just casually talk to an elf about something; they will wrinkle their adolescent face and mutter through their teeth about Terrible Omens or Beautiful Legends, levels that others have yet to reach. Elves are very narrow-minded and vindictive; if, four hundred years ago, evil bandits killed a young Alandor's ancestor, the young avenger will be filled with hatred and make it his goal to cleanse the world of the human vermin. Elves have lived in their stone age with fireflies and bows for MILLIONS of years, and they will continue to live that way until the technologically advanced "lower races" shoot them down with rifles. Humans fight any evil – evil kingdoms, orcs, the undead, demons, and chaos. Elves kill a child who got lost in the forest and sometimes attack orcs who are chopping wood. Most of the most depraved fantasy geeks are obsessed with elves, consider themselves elves, and some extremely awkwardly role-play them in role-playing games, gluing elf ears made of papier-mâché to themselves, and at this point, it's not even worth mentioning "drow." Elves are the favorite fantasy race of escapists, hardcore nerds, and whiners. Perhaps as compensation for failures in real life. For all the reasons listed above, I hate elves and consider them jerks, as the title states. Sweetheart, I didn't write this post so quickly, and it fits into the "discussion of races," which is the subject. So please don't delete it.

Morning, why such stereotypical thinking? And yes, Chaos is not "Evil".

Everything is clear, thanks for the explanation))

Maybe this post will be added to the "forum gems" section?

Mold, I understand, of course, that your book might describe elves who are Nazis during World War II, or elves who are cannibals, or elves who are heterosexual, but I am relying on the canons of fantasy.

maybe this post will end up in the forum's "gems"?

Why bother? There's nothing particularly funny about it. Just a typical post full of "HATE!!1!!1!11".

And I'm not just relying on myself, thank goodness. I'm also looking at the much-hated TES and other worlds that don't use stereotypes of fantasy.

Morning put a lot of effort into it, pouring all his hatred for elves into it, and you don't appreciate that :smile06:
