I mean, with alt-taps. Without them, everything except the level 1 creatures fits into 2 decks.

I mean with alt-taps. And without them, everything except the 1st level creature fits into 2 decks.

I understand you, but here's another question: <))Dimitrius((> will the deck consist of 36 cards or a full deck of 54 cards?

Basically, people are voting for the 5th game, and I'm not against it; the main thing is that Niival doesn't make it too difficult.

We'll create a poker-style deck with 54 cards.

Next... I'm not very familiar with the 5th game, but as I understand it, there are 8 factions. Accordingly, there are three options:
1) We can create two decks, each with 4 factions, and include creatures with upgrades.
2) We can create one deck. With 2 factions per suit, without upgrades, including all creatures. Here, we can draw an analogy: evil faction with evil, good with good, neutral with neutral...
example: humans + elves = diamonds.
3) We can create one deck, limiting ourselves to four factions with upgrades.
example: humans = diamonds; Necropolis = clubs, etc.

I personally lean towards the 2nd option, as it allows us to include all monsters and factions in one deck, which, in my opinion, would be more appropriate.

Write which option you like best and describe which suit you think should be assigned to which faction.

Here's an even more detailed version of what a card might look like...

I would still suggest using not only troops, but also units from other games, and not just from the fifth installment. Magic would look great, it would be nice to add castles, but... since there are two races per suit, it might not look very good... artifacts would also look a bit bland, with the exception of the aforementioned blades. And, yes, by the way, maybe we could try using heroes from the fifth game? (portraits)
What about the idea of including creatures from two opposing factions in each suit?
Clubs - Dungeon and Sylvan
Spades - Necropolis and Gnomes
Hearts - Inferno and Haven
Diamonds - Orcs and Mages

But overall, it's turning out quite well ;)

Hmm... What if creatures were represented by numbers, and heroes ranged from Vault to King? By the way, there's a website with a great archive of artwork from Heroes of Might and Magic V (including portraits of many heroes). It might be very useful for your project. Here's the link. (The archive is large, about 68 MB, I hope there won't be any problems with downloading it).

And what about aces - Castle?)

1 or 3 is the best. In a poker deck, as I understand it, there are jokers - we can put neutral creatures like phoenixes on them (there are two of them, I think).

And I would suggest putting heroes on the aces ;)

I think it's better to base it on the third game, but to add variety, include similar-style units from other Heroes games in the corresponding deck.
Example:
Diamonds deck (Castle):
2 – Peasant
3 – Archer (Heroes 2)
4 – Spearman
5 – Squire (Heroes 4)
6 – Crossbowman
7 – Swordsman
8 – Monk
9 – Cavalier
10 – Champion
Jack – Paladin (Heroes 2)
Queen – Countess (use the image of a female lord hero from Heroes 4)
King – General (use the image of a general hero from Heroes 4)
Ace – Archangel

Clubs deck (Stronghold):
2 – Goblin
3 – Wolf (Heroes 2)
4 – Berserker (Heroes 4)
5 – Wolf Rider
6 – Boar Rider
7 – Orc
8 – Troll
9 – Ogre
10 – Roc
Jack – Cyclops
Queen – Amazon (female barbarian hero from Heroes 4)
King – Barbarian (barbarian hero from Heroes 4)
Ace – Ancient Behemoth

Spades deck (Necropolis):
2 – Skeleton
3 – Skeleton Archer (Heroes 5)
4 – Zombie
5 – Ghost
6 – Wraith (Heroes of Might and Magic)
7 – Poisonous Slime (Heroes 4)
8 – Vampire
9 – Mummy
10 – Lich
Jack – Knight of Death
Queen – Death Lady (Knight of Death hero from Heroes 4)
King – Lord of the Dead (Lich hero from Heroes 4)
Ace – Phantom Dragon

Hearts deck (Rampart):
2 – Leprechaun (Heroes 4)
3 – Satyr (Heroes 4)
4 – White Tiger (Heroes 4)
5 – Centaur
6 – Dwarf
7 – Elf
8 – Sniper
9 – Dryad
10 – Pegasus
Jack – Unicorn
Queen – Forest Queen (female ranger hero from Heroes 4)
King – Druid (druid hero from Heroes 4, but not a black person)
Ace – Golden Dragon

Diamonds deck (Fortress):
2 – Gnoll
3 – Lizard
4 – Serpent
5 – Boar (Heroes 2)
6 – Rogue
7 – Nomad
8 – Mantis (Heroes 4)
9 – Wasp Nest (Heroes 4)
10 – Wyvern
Jack – Basilisk
Queen – Witch (female battle mage from Heroes 4)
King – Master of Creatures (battle mage from Heroes 4)

I also tend to agree with the second option proposed by <))Dimitriusom((>.
I think mixing creatures with artwork, castles, and spells wouldn't look very good, and some of these could be placed on jokers, as suggested earlier. As for the heroes, placing them on aces would be a good idea (a good idea, Holy_Paladin).

is the idea dead?

The idea lives on! I just haven't had the time to work on it...

But it would be a shame..., I would gladly buy them, even at a higher price. I would like to see at least one unit from Heroes 1 in the cards.

P.S. Let me know in a private message when you're done, I'll definitely buy them.

So, I'm back on the forum to get back to work. I'll be focusing exclusively on the third installment now. Once I finish the design, I'll announce it here.

It’s great that this idea is still alive. And it’s great that the maps will be based on the third installment of the series. I’ll be happy to take a look at such maps.

It's been a while since I was here. I stumbled upon pictures of creatures sorted by factions and remembered the idea of creating maps. As I understand, <))Dimitrius((> will be creating maps based on 3 heroes, but what about 5? If it's possible to create maps for both 3 and 5 heroes, I can work on the design for 5 while I have some free time.

Is this thread still active?
