Posts from Discussion of the Necropolis faction.Auto-translated
The Sphinx is actually a living statue. I understand that if you finish the animation, it will become fully mobile. Then, necromancers kill the creature :D and resurrect it again as undead. Otherwise, it wouldn't be very fitting to have a living sphinx in the undead ranks :D. It's a really interesting unit, and I hope it will be a champion. Although, I didn't have any complaints about bone dragons. In "Heroes 5," I really liked how they disintegrated. But I didn't really like the spectral dragons. By the way, it turns out that the sphinx is the same as a bone dragon, only with a human head (skull).
Yes, statues are more characteristic of mages. I think the sphinx will be in the elite tier; the embodiment of Ashtar wouldn't be hanging out with liches and vampires :D, and I liked the dragons in Heroes 4; they were terrifying when they attacked, and they had the best defense against ranged attacks.

Statues are more of a mage thing.

Mages, but Necropolis is also Egyptian now ;). It's fitting for them too. And the sphinx looks much more impressive, like a dragon – it should be a champion. If spiderlings can't be champions, why can the daughters of Erathia?
I mean, a sphinx is like a golem – a bunch of movable stones connected in the shape of a sphinx. When you kill it, you see a pile of stones! Can you use necromancy to bring the stones back to life?

For Mages, but Necropolis is now also Egyptian ;). It is now inherent to them as well. And the Sphinx looks much more impressive, it resembles a dragon - it should be a champion. If spiderlings cannot be champions, then why can the daughters of Elrath?
Well, it seems that Mages had an Arabic style, not an Egyptian one. How can a Sphinx resemble a dragon? A dragon is, in any case, more majestic (even a skeletal one :). But I still think that the spiderling will be the champion; someone even posted information from a closed forum on the community that the spiderling will be the champion.

I see the Sphinx as a flying, half-lion, half-human creature that was turned into stone, and necromancers infused a soul into it

Seriously, how many times do I have to repeat that if Askhara is the Necropolis goddess, then her incarnations, or rather, her substitutes, will be considered the strongest!!!!!!

The strongest is the one with the most hit points :D. An armored sphinx looks much more impressive. The spider is an incarnation of Askh, and the Daughter of Light is an incarnation of Erathia. The Daughter of Light won't be the champion, so I hope the spider won't be either. I like the sphinx much more :).
The Daughters of Light are not the main faction because there are Angels, which are, in a way, embodiments of Elrath!

We really didn't know that :p. I've been saying for a long time that the spider is the champion of the Necropolis, and the sphinx will live comfortably even in the elite ranks.

Angels are not incarnations of Elrath, but merely his close associates. As for the Daughters of Light... Although they aren't quite right either; Elrath probably doesn't have an incarnation.

The strongest is the fattest :D. An armored sphinx looks much more impressive. The spider is an incarnation of Askh, the Daughter of Light is an incarnation of Elrath. The Daughter of Light won't be a champion, so I hope the spider won't be either. I like the sphinx much more :).
Fat, thick, domestic, fluffy kitty. And you want to make him a champion? If they do, there will be a lot of questions, I think the sphinx is a kind of undead tank, like the Juggernaut for the demons

Okay, you've convinced me :). Although I still think that the spider will also do well and will live comfortably in the elite ranks. And the Daughter of Light is the one that most resembles the embodiment of Elrath, or rather, his daughter :), since Elrath is a dragon of light!
Yes, the sphinx will be a fat, domestic, bony undead cat :D. And perhaps yes, since the Juggernaut is a tank and is not a champion, the sphinx can be made in a similar way. I just want there to be some kind of analogy between the races.
By the way, do you think the spider will be a small creature? After all, it's not very impressive and will fit on one tile. Although it's not very respectable for a champion to be a single-cell creature :):confused:. If it becomes a champion :p.
By the way, do you think the spider queen will be a small creature? She doesn't seem very impressive and would fit on one tile. Although, it wouldn't be very dignified for a champion to be single-celled :):confused:. If she becomes the champion :p.
I think the spider queen will be 2x2 tiles. If you look at that battle between Necropolis and Haven, the spider queen is at least 2 tiles wide, like a centaur. I'm wondering how the sphinx will fly; probably like gargoyles, close to the ground (I still don't understand how a stone can fly).

The Spider Queen will be a large creature, if only because the five known creatures are small.
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.
Yeah, take a look at the screenshots and videos; everything is quite clear there. The developers said that each castle will have 2-3 large creatures, not strictly 3, as in the fifth installment.
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.
Here's what I have to say about the debate between Sphinxes and Spider Queens for the champion title:
1) They say that the Spider Queens will be an embodiment of Ash. I think this is a very unfortunate word choice. The embodiment of Ash is Ash herself in a material form. But how can she fight for some race? Then everyone else will have a hard time ;) It would be more correct to say that the Spider Queens are an image of Ash. At least from the point of view of necromancers. It is unknown how they appear and how much they have taken on the properties of Ash. If they have taken on any at all, because this is a view of Ash from the perspective of necromancers, and not an absolutely true one. By the way, it is they who may create such creatures using some kind of intricate rituals.
In short: the fact that the Spider Queens are connected to Ash does not speak of their great power.
2) Sphinx is a large stone statue? Stereotype. I found the information quickly, so I will have to quote Wikipedia. But even that is not so bad.
Sphinx, Sphi'nga (Ancient Greek: Σφίγξ, Σφιγγός, literally "strangler" - a reinterpretation of the ancient Egyptian name for the sphinx "shepses-ankh" - "living image") - a mythical creature, a being with the head of a woman, the paws and body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle.
Also:
Greek Sphinx (Sphi'nga)
It is assumed that the image of the sphinx was borrowed by the ancient Greeks from Egypt. In Greek mythology, the wingless Egyptian sphinx acquires the wings of a griffin. In Greek mythology, it is considered a spawn of the chthonic monsters Typhon and Echidna (according to another version, Chimera and Orthrus), a malicious demon of destruction. A creature with the body of a dog, the wings of a bird, a woman's head, and a face. The winged maiden killed young men. The winged strangler was sent to Thebes by Hera for the crime of the Theban king Laius against Chrysippus. She lay in wait for travelers, asked them tricky riddles, and killed everyone who could not solve them. Hera sent her to Thebes. Having learned the riddle from the Muses, the Sphinx sat on Mount Phicéan and began to ask it to the Thebans.
In my opinion, this is much more impressive than a lady with spider legs and an unknown legend.
3) Before talking about the bad appearance of the sphinx, that it is just a big cat, etc., it would be nice to see it. Because in the screenshot, it looks terrible.
So, I would like to see the sphinx as the champion. If it looks like a manticore from H3, but much larger... That would be a worthy champion, I think.
