I think that Orcs should also be given some kind of magic, even if it's not very powerful. Or better yet, normal magic. Otherwise, it will start again, with people saying that magic isn't everything, and so on. We already saw this in the fifth game. Poor Orcs, they suffered so much because of their lack of magic; they were simply overwhelmed like little guys.

Necropolis has earth as one of its terrains, as this is mentioned in the description.

I read the lore and was surprised by how many Russian names there are. And the map of Ashan strongly resembles the geography of the modern world. I wonder what that means?

In short:
The Empire worships Elrath (Light), the Tower – Malassa (Darkness), the Stronghold – Silanna (Earth), the Naga – Shalassa (Water), the Dwarves – Arkat (Fire), the Castle – Illat (Air), the Necropolis – Ashah (Primordial), and the Inferno – Urgash (Primordial).
No one knows about the Orcs and Wizards, but…
The Orcs will have full-fledged mages – it’s been promised, supposedly… There’s even a hint in the description of the Jaguar Warriors.

Jaguar Warriors often serve as the honored guard of Orcish chieftains and shamans.

However, it’s worth considering whether this should be taken seriously.
The Orcs worship the Father-Sky and the Mother-Earth.
The Seventh Dragon can be considered a dragon mage. They believe that everyone is capable of following his path and becoming a Dragon (i.e., a God). For them, the Seventh Dragon is an example to follow.

The Necropolis has Earth magic, at least, as this was mentioned in the description.

By the way, the Empire will favor Light magic, and the Inferno and Necropolis will favor Primordial magic. This was confirmed by one of the insiders. Whether to believe it or not, I don’t know.

I wonder what this could lead to?

To laziness or a lack of imagination.

become a Dragon

This immediately brings to mind a hero from Heroes of Might and Magic III named Dragon.

By the way, since the developers promised to bring back two types of heroes, i.e., a mage and a warrior, it means that the Orcs will also have a mage hero, and therefore they will be able to use magic. Although, it's not certain; perhaps warrior heroes will be completely prohibited from learning magic, while mages (Orcish ones) will have something like chants or simply magic of low levels.

I somehow think that this is a way to attract the attention of players who make up the Russian-speaking population to the game.

The Russian-speaking community is already quite skilled at playing Heroes.

We could argue about this for a long time.

This principle was borrowed from Warhammer. The Warhammer map also resembles a map of our world. There are even local "Slavs" there (Kislev). The Holy Empire is an analogue of our Europe. At the same time, each duchy of the Holy Empire has a specific parallel with a particular European state.

Duchy of the Griffin - Russia/Eastern Europe
Duchy of the Stag - Ireland
Duchy of the Unicorn - England
Duchy of the Wolf - Germany
Duchy of the Bull - Spain and Italy
Duchy of the Grey Hound - France

That's how it is. And all of this was invented before the 5th installment.

Here's an excerpt from the orc description.

During the Second Eclipse, the orcs gained their freedom, but there were still those who preferred to see them in chains. Orcs are strong warriors and shamans, with access to only certain types of magic – primarily "Blood Magic," which is chaotic in nature and connected to their demonic roots, or simple shamanic spells.

I read the history and was surprised by how many Russian names there are.

It seems like there are only two.

It seems that the orcs will still have a hard time if they only have shamanic magic. They don't even have goblin shamans anymore. Are they placeholders again?

Looks like only two...

Yeah. Kirill, Anton, Pavel, Svetlana (or Sveltana, maybe the translators are bad?), Anastasia, Slava... almost all of them are Russian.

Among the Russian players, only Slava and Svetlana stand out.

:D Yeah, and the rest are all Italian... Maybe they don't know any other names that exist in Russia, so they wrote down the first ones that came to mind. You're talking as if we don't have Kirillov, Pavlov, and Antonov in Russia. P.S. Then say they're Slavic, not Russian.
