What difficult fate caused horns to grow out of his back :D??

Maybe a distant relative of a hedgehog:D

at least in the top-down view

That's the catch.

The cyclops are quite similar to those in Heroes of Might and Magic V. There's almost no difference, at least from a top-down view.

The cyclops in Heroes of Might and Magic V were well-designed, definitely better than the generic one-eyed giants. So, it's not a bad thing that they look alike, like brothers :)
By the way, if you look at them not from above, but from behind and below (how else can you look at a huge cyclops except from below?), then they are completely identical :D

I liked them too; they were better than the

generic one-eyed giants

that were in Heroes of Might and Magic II. And in Heroes of Might and Magic VI, the Cyclops seemed pretty good too...

In the second game, they shot paralysis rays from their eye, like a beholder. I like that more than throwing stones.

They will shoot in the 6th game too, but in the 2nd game, the cyclops looked bad. It would have been better to make them completely bald...

Amazing creatures. Indian orcs. :D :D :D

I think the elite units of the Orcs turned out to be rather lackluster, not as impressive as the basic and champion units.

The Jaguar Warriors look particularly unimpressive. And the shamans' helmets...

They turned out fine. They aren't clowns performing at fairs and in circuses. They gathered for war and shouldn't be bright and colorful. The harpies, however, look like parrots, which is very bad. P.S. I looked at the cyclops... they turned out too fat, and it's clear that there's much more demonic in them than from bandits and whoever else they were mixed with. And how they sew bandages for them and even paint skulls for them, like Easter eggs. Oh, lol. They killed me in Heroes 5 with colorful skulls hanging from the braid of the necromancer hero, like a keychain. Here, the cyclops are decorated with colorful skulls, and that's despite the developers saying that Heroes 6 would be darker and more atmospheric. Well, yes, colorful shards look very terrifying and gloomy.

I looked at the cyclops... they turned out too chubby, and it's clear that they have much more demonic features than the bandits and whoever else they were mixed with.

I agree with that.

It’s a pity that for the experiment’s frequency, they didn’t cross different races with demons, but only humans and demons :( . After all, what a variety could have resulted. It’s like if Necropolis had the ability to raise different creatures from different races.

P. S. They increased the number of units in a stack from 7 to 15 (and gave them a can-sealing machine :smile54: ).

It's interesting how they got harpies. Did they crossbreed succubi with humans, reduce their size, and then paint them like clowns? Yeah, I remember someone mentioning that the mages from Heroes of Might and Magic V looked like they had escaped from a circus. Apparently, they were also trying to adapt the orcs to their style, which is why the orcs were so colorful at the beginning. Now it's clear. The circus left, but the clowns stayed.

Harpies are most likely Beastmen, like minotaurs or centaurs.

Most likely, yes. The orc rebellion wasn't included in the game's events, and the beastmen were created shortly after, so it's quite possible that some of them joined the orcs during their escape :smile20:. It seems everyone is fleeing from the mages; the necromancers fled, the orcs fled, and the beastmen fled too. This is who the real Tyrant is in the game, not the demons :smile08:.

That's right...
