In fantasy, realism isn't a necessity; instead, ancient magic serves as the cement holding together the awkwardly fitted blocks. In some creations, unscrupulous builders from the Middle East further mix ignorance into the cement, targeting specific details aimed at the common peasant. Any schoolchild would agree that if one runs around like the wind, waving imaginary locks of hair, and enters a berserker rage, then a chain, as swift as a hurricane and wrapped around the arm, would be a formidable weapon, and no one would care that it's the ravings of a madman.

Stones come in different forms, not just baked clay.

Humans are inherently pompous knights adorned with badges of honor, including chicken coops, but at least they are original.

I disagree. People are just people. A biological species. They have nothing to do with pretentiousness, and certainly not with chicken coops.

Besides horns, there are also many other types of helmet decorations, depending on the time and place.

That's nonsense. The horns and other embellishments were actually invented by students who wanted to dress up as Vikings, but decided to make their costumes more intimidating. The helmets of the Vikings themselves didn't differ much in shape from ordinary helmets.

The main types of helmets are as follows:
Horns
Wings
Feathers and flags
Natural figures (human or animal)
Artificial figures
Shield boards
Headgear

In my opinion, the best heroes are in 5 Tribes of the East; I think the sixth ones will be bad.

I don't know what Wikipedia says, but if I were to go into battle myself, I would first get rid of non-functional armor. Getting hit in the head because of a heavy ornament is the height of shortsightedness.

So, will we not see them even in the add-ons? Why?

Ego - the result of an epic fail in the form of an illusion. There is no excuse for this; one must get rid of it in every possible way. By comfortably settling next to the consumer masses, you risk waking up one fine morning "out of brains."

In any case, we're waiting for a bright, fantasy turn-based game here, not a depressing medieval battle simulator where everything, down to the last feather on the helmet, must conform to logic.

Let's see; the developers haven't gone completely mad yet to remove one of the most popular (if you want to call it mainstream) factions, which also perfectly fits the trend of universal feminization.
