In my opinion, it's much more impressive than the lady with spider legs and an unknown backstory.
It's subjective. In general, this conversation boils down to an exchange of opinions with rather far-fetched arguments, primarily based on affection or dislike for one of these two creatures.
So, I would like to see the Sphinx as the champion.
But I would still prefer to see the Sphinx as the strongest.
I like the Sphinx much more.
Fat, thick, domestic, fluffy cat.
For example, I am much more interested in the question of whether all creatures in the Castle will be undead. Judging by the description, liches take some kind of elixir that prolongs their life, i.e., they are living creatures. I'm even afraid to guess what they will come up with for the Sphinx, but the spider lady definitely doesn't look like an undead creature. Ghouls, in general, are not necessarily undead, judging by mythology.
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 think they should definitely include it (he must have played The Witcher a lot).

Им не понять меня, не поменять меня

В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда

Liches don't resemble living creatures. They are truly a ghost in armor :D. Perhaps the arguments are subjective, but Ment also confirmed them with quotes from "Wikipedia," and expressed my opinion about the sphinx and the spider. The word "embodiment" in her description is indeed inappropriate.

Spiders are more like zombies, as their eyes glow. The faction is Necropolis, which is a faction of the undead, so everything in it, except for necromancers, should be dead.

The dispute is also very subjective, as the developers ultimately decide. In an article on another website that described the Necropolis troops, it stated that both options for the elite/champion are possible. My opinion is that the sphinx will be the champion, and yours is the spider; when the developers officially reveal this, we will know the truth. I am not against either option; I simply lean towards the fluffy, fat sphinx :):D.

I also like Clash of Heroes, but the funny thing is that stupid people, like my brother, are very afraid of spiders, but they calmly kick cats, and judging by psychology, that's how it is.

Judging by the description, liches take some kind of elixir that prolongs their life, meaning they are living creatures.
Or are they just drug addicts in the black pit? I live in that area too, we could get high together.
Ghost lich in armor.
Oh, lol. Of course not.

I also think that the idea about liches and vampires is absurd.

What did they come up with regarding the vampires?

Morning
Are they just junkies hanging out in a dark alley? I live in that area too, we could get high together.

Oh lol. Of course not.
What dark alley are you talking about?

The question here isn't about who people fear more in life: a sphinx or a spider, but who seems stronger.

I said that the lich was drawn as a ghost in armor, proving that he is undead.

Well, the one who is feared more is the stronger one.

I think it's wrong to judge the strength of the spider queen and the sphinx based on who people fear more in real life – a cat or a spider. This won't be reflected properly in the game. In the link where the troops were first discussed, it was mentioned that the sphinx and spider queen could be positioned similarly to the Dungeon faction from "Heroes 5" – spider queens in 6th place (elite), sphinxes in 7th (champions). I provided many arguments for this arrangement, and you were against it. Maybe we should just wait for the official announcement from the developers? This argument has become tiresome. Perhaps we could discuss something else?

What is that black hole?
Of course, it's a black hole.
I mentioned that the Lich was drawn as a ghost in armor, proving that he is undead.
Where is that? Are there any artworks of him?

I said that the Lich was depicted as a ghost in armor, proving that he is undead.
And I have repeatedly said that the Lich is described as a still-living necromancer, referring to the developers' page on Facebook.
Higher ranking Necromancers (the priests of the Spider Goddess) are given a life-prolonging elixir that is ”milked from the venom of the Goddess’s sacred spiders, and that they must mix their food.
This ”treatment” turns them into Asakkus, or ”Liches”, their bodies desiccated but now freed from the passions of the flesh. They keep aging however, until they look little more than walking mummies... The venom mixture also colors their whole eyes bright green.
And here is a description of a vampire, which also clearly states that a Lich dies and is reborn as a vampire.
As they grow in power, Liches may earn the right to be embraced by the Spider Goddess herself to die and be reborn as Akhkharus, or ”Vampires”. They undergo an excruciating ritual but gain a rejuvenated body, cleansed from all defects. Vampires don’t need to eat, drink, sleep or breathe anymore as all their organs are ”petrified” and it is not blood, but the sacred spider’s venom, that now flows in their veins.
However, they need to drink human blood on a regular basis to thin this venom down, and prevent it from dissolving their body from the inside.
Link.

Black hole, of course.

Where is this? Are there any artworks related to it?
Thank you, I didn't understand right away :o.

There are artworks :). They should be in the "information" thread. There is definitely a link to a website where a review of the Necropolis faction's units was conducted. Ancient Evil also posted some artworks a few pages back, where we were discussing the faction's composition.

I've said it many times before that the Lich was described as a still-living necromancer, referring to the developers' page on Facebook.

And here's a description of the vampire, which also clearly states that the lich dies and is reborn as a vampire.

Link.
A living lich in the undead faction? Unlikely. Maybe this isn't about a unit, maybe it's about a hero-mage? It's just a race of undead:mad! But then there could be living spiderlings too… No, something is wrong here. Or it's unclear what they did with the race… I hope not.

I haven't seen any artworks anywhere. If it's not too much trouble, please provide a direct link or post them here.
