No less than seven warmongers, especially since the word doesn't require translation.

I didn't compare the bios, so they might still be the old ones.
Warmongers are an eternal topic. There are no arguments here :(. And I can confidently say that the biographies were adapted to match the names. They tell how the false Isabelle named the new cavalry after herself, and why the riders are so agile. In general, the translators are doing a good job with the revisions. But sometimes it's still not worth reinventing the wheel :).

Fixed it. Why are you so categorical? And I'm sure that calling it a "banshee" wouldn't be accurate. Based on the examples above, it's more likely to be called "restless spirits."
I noticed that too. Why could "summoning" be called something else, and Plesen already gave examples of the carelessness of the localizers.

A good translator would use "Ghost" or "Specter." A bad one would use "Guest" or "Specter." There are many options! But with such an English version, we almost certainly won't see "banshee" in Russian.
"Ghost" - ghost. "Specter" - specter.
I don't know, I translated it from Macmillan, and that dictionary is one of the best in the world, and it says that both "Specter" and "Ghost" in Russian mean "ghost."

I wouldn't say that HoMM5 was translated so carelessly. I didn't notice any inconsistencies. The only thing that disappointed me was the very quiet voice acting. But I think that the company will try harder with HoMM6. As long as they entrust the localization to a normal, serious company.

So, let's summarize. Six units are known: sphinx, skeleton, spider, ghoul, vampire, wraith. Let's bet on the seventh :).

Although, maybe now they won't call them Liches, but Mummies instead.

You have that, but for me, in the Tribes of the East, Arkat is Arrarrath, Isabel is Isabel, Duncan is Dunkan, Frida is Frida, Zehir is Zehir, Gotai is Gotai, Kudjin is Kudjin, Alaric is Alaric, Arantir is Arantir, Ornela is Ornela, etc.

This is already known to everyone; they will call them liches, as the producer said.
And that's not all; there are many examples.

What a joke, not a Lich. Just a regular ghost with flesh. Why is he even flying?

He has an invisible skateboard, and they depicted him mid-jump.

I meant it in a general sense, although you wouldn't understand. And how could he not know about it when they were discussing the lich here? Maybe he just forgot to mention it.

All the improved Necromancers are either from a mental institution or just came from a heavy metal concert:D

What, are you all treating me like an idiot? I get that it was a general statement, but I just don't know, it's just my nature to have to respond.

And I have a question for Dragon-Cat: since when are words like, you know, off-topic?

The Lich is certainly underwhelming compared to those in the fifth or third installment. Moreover, he seems to be alive here, judging by the description. The Ghost didn't impress much, but it's acceptable. Overall, Necropolis seems to me to be quite well-designed.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

I forgot, but I didn't mention it, which is a shame. I just thought that the question of whether it will be a Lich or a Mummy is still unresolved. But this creature will definitely be called a Lich. It doesn't look like a Mummy at all. Yes, they went overboard with the improved graphics. However, they should somehow be different, right? In the English version, Freida is called Freyda. And that deleted message simply didn't have any meaning. Something else needed to be written.
