Ugh. I feel like vomiting when I see Necromancers.

In this specific case, "хочется" is spelled without the soft sign "ь". And in all other cases too. ))
Poor you, how will you even play? You'll vomit all over the monitor.

I wonder why they needed to "animate" the catapults? The wooden structures were perfectly fine. And also: I think there won't be any other siege weapons besides catapults? I think I read something about it somewhere. Although I might be wrong.

Ugh. Makes me want to vomit when I see Necromancers.

How uncouth!

I wonder why they needed to "animate" the catapults like that? The wooden structures were perfectly fine. And also: I think there won't be any other siege weapons besides catapults? I think I read something about that somewhere. Although I might be wrong.

Probably, the "animation" was needed to justify the unique properties of catapults from different factions. By the way, I don't think that the catapults of humans or orcs will be as "organic" either. We can't say anything about the Nagas yet.

Oh, the Lamassu model looks pretty good.
And I like the catapult, although it can be mistaken for a unit, which isn't ideal.
As for the cavalry, I really liked the idea of having five different mounts, one for each. It's a shame they removed that.

Over time, I didn't like the idea in Heroes 4 where the creatures were different, although this only applied to the Sylvan faction and their zebras. Maybe it was just the horse's coloring, but in that case, it was a very unsuccessful design. In Heroes 5, I didn't like the dinosaurs (and I mean exactly that, not just reptiles), elephants, and mammoths, although they are almost the same. The developers either lacked imagination or didn't think about dwarves when creating the original game; otherwise, they could have put mages on camels. So, in Heroes 6, I like the return to the roots, although a horse isn't essential for demons.

I actually like the idea that everyone will be riding horses. You can make the horses very different, like in Heroes of Might and Magic V – for Necropolis and Haven. And the fact that demons will finally be riding instead of running on foot is also good. They could have been put on hellish steeds, for example. But the screenshot shows that the horses don't look that different.

Yeah... now I understand why they wrote that the Orcs will have the most unusual catapult.... Is it half a cyclops?
P.S. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, because I'm very interested in how they implemented the Haven catapult; I assume they won't stop at a standard catapult.
P.P.S. I won't be surprised if the Nagas have a device stylized as a Kirin.

Actually, you don't have to wait until tomorrow:

The catapults are interestingly designed; I liked both the Inferno cannon and the Necropolis's Spider Catapult. The Haven catapult is also well-made, standard but impressive. I was pleasantly surprised to see the model of the upgraded griffin...

Yes, people just want things to look nicer.

Here, Haven has a proper catapult. And again – there’s no ballista or field hospital tent. Coincidence?

Lamassu looks good, but it would be better to paint it gold before sending it to the Egyptian faction with the mummies and mages... Otherwise, it doesn't belong there.
And where are the vampires? Surely 10-20 Lamassu aren't better than 300 vampires?
And where are the beautiful women in the human faction?
And where is the lich on the tower?

What a bunch of jerks the Blackhowlers are. They turned normal, handsome Necromancers into ugly spider-like creatures.

Griffins are just adorable.

Waa! The human catapult is awesome!!!!!!

Lamassu looks good, but it would be better if it were painted gold before being added to the Egyptian faction with the mummies and mages...

It's a decent unit, and it fits well with the style of the new Necropolis...
