Perhaps there is some kind of cloak after all. But the ghost definitely cannot have the attributes you mentioned, as it is an unresting soul, not a body. Look, for example, at the ghosts from the fifth game; they only have shackles.

A soul is an exact copy of a person's image, but in the fifth game, I don't know, maybe the developers just didn't have enough imagination.
Пара банок пива, снаряд дешевого пойла
Ракета прущего дыма и море свободы
Серьезные помыслы, прущие скорости, мама с вопросами:
- Куда ты дел совесть? Стань взрослым.
Я в ответ молчал виновато
- Посмотри на брата, разве трудно быть нормальным?
Им не понять меня, не поменять меня
Хотели поломать меня - им не поймать меня
В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда
Мама била посуду и тихо плакала
Молилась за меня Богу - свечи ставила

The soul is a person's inner essence, their emotions, and their connection to God. It can appear in any form; I think the best option would be a cloud with a human head. Ghosts are restless souls.

Major Whirlwind, that's great! I think everyone who was worried that ghosts would be called "banshees" can relax now.

By the way, according to the Facebook page, the ghosts in the English version will be called Ghosts, and the improved ones will be called Spectres. No Banshees or anything else.
Well, that's obvious; the question is, what will our translation geniuses call them. After all, both "Ghost" and "Spectre" translate to "ghost":confused:

After all, both "Призрак" and "Спектр" are translated as "ghost."
Did you even understand what you said?

I think everyone who was afraid that ghosts would be called "banshees" can rest easy :).
Can you be sure that the Russian version will have ghosts and not banshees? Although, banshees don't really fit the Egyptian theme.

Ghouls and vampires aren't exactly Egyptian undead either.

Look it up in the dictionary, and then you'll understand. At least, Macmillan translates it that way.

Since you are so "attentive," let me explain:
You said that the Russian word "призрак" is translated as "привидение." Instead of using the English word "ghost" in the text.

Regarding vampires, yes, but ghouls are quite close.

Well, "ghost" hasn't changed; it's still in Russian. The intelligent ones understood what I was talking about, namely that in English, "specter" and "ghost" are different words, but in Russian, both words are translated as "ghost."

Ghouls are European undead, with the prototype being the Arabic type of malevolent jinn, Ghoul (in Russian, they are written the same, but in English, the spelling of the words differs; first, they are translated as "Ghouls" and "Vampires," and the latter are still called Ghouls).

It needs to be clarified properly because instead of the English pronunciation, you used a Russian synonym. In the end, there are three options (off the top of my head) for these creatures for translators:
1. Ghost
2. Specter
3. Spirit

As far as I know, there are no mentions of ghouls in the Russian language at all, since ghouls are translated from English as vampires, or as you already said, as ghouls. There is another spelling in English, but it is translated as a corpse-eater.

"Ghost" is translated as "specter" in English, and I also forgot about spirits. It would be good if ghosts and specters were incorporeal, as in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

A good translator would use "Ghost" for "привидение" and "Spectre" for "призрак". There are many options! But with such an English version, we almost certainly won't see "banshees" in the Russian version.

"Ghost" - ghost. "Spectre" - phantom/specter.;).

Ghoul - ghoul :eek:?? No way, then let it remain a ghoul :).

They can't remove vampires even from the Egyptian Necropolis, as it's a hallmark of the faction. As for me, a ghoul fits well into the Egyptian version of the race.

But with such an English translation, we definitely won't see "banshees" in the Russian version.
Considering the quality of our translators, we might see even stranger things. A typical example:
Champions, who in the Russian version of Heroes of Might and Magic V were named "Knights of Isabel," Black Bear Riders, who became "Bear Lords," Quasi-devils, who became "Little Devils," Black Riders, who became "Nimble Riders," and many other examples.
"Ghoust" - ghost.
Brush up on your English.

Brush up on your English.
But a new backstory was created for each of these units, so the names fit in quite well. I didn't know this before you mentioned it :o. Quasi is some kind of Anglicism. That's why it was replaced with a perfectly Russian "little devil."

I've corrected it. Why are you so categorical? And I'm sure that calling it "banshee" wouldn't be accurate. Based on the examples above, it would be more like "restless spirits."

"Quasites" is just some kind of Anglicism.
No less so are "warmongers," especially since the word doesn't require translation.
But each of these units was given a new backstory, so the names fit in well.
I didn't compare the backstories, so they may still be the old ones.
