Posts from The most anticipated race.

So, after dreaming about the future of Heroes 5, I wondered which faction the community is most looking forward to seeing from Nival Interactive. Two of the most popular factions immediately come to mind: Barbarians and Water. There's also the nation of gnome-mechanics, Elestian, swamp lizards, and ice elves. If none of these options appeal to you, feel free to suggest your own. Let's vote ;)

I have some ideas regarding the Swamp faction and have almost fully developed the concept for the Barbarian faction, including the hero's abilities and units for that castle (although most of the units are from previous installments, but with modifications).

Marsh-dwellers!!! I miss them so much. And that music in the third part... ^_^ I imagined a traveler walking through the swamp, hearing strange sounds, the flapping of wings, the buzzing of insects (the beginning of the music). Then he comes to a clearing and sees all the variety of reptiles represented there. All the life of the swamp in all its diversity appears before him (the climax). Finally, the traveler turns back, realizing that it is better not to enter this dangerous, unpredictable place, and suddenly it seems to him again that he is surrounded by dragonflies, lizards, basilisks... but then he realizes it was just an illusion, and he calms down. What music that was!!! And as for the units—they were spot on. Undoubtedly, things are bad without the marsh-dwellers. And we could even slap someone in place of the hydra =) we're missing gorgons, dragonflies, basilisks (especially in the absence of medusas)...

p.s. respect to the op—found a own decent topic for discussion
p.p.s. greetings to all fans of the Fortress from part 3)

Green-skinned creatures are needed! I'm feeling nostalgic for Ruuks, Cyclops, monsters, and of course, ORCS!:D

Green is the best color.

I agree, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the Swamp faction. I hope they don't ruin everything... If there aren't any Gorgons, I'll be very disappointed.

Swamp creatures! Absolutely! Forget about Barbarians:)

despite the hype surrounding the Swamp faction, I prefer the Barbarians. However, I hope they don't turn out to be a failed project, but rather an interesting addition.

Personally, I have a huge attachment or even a passion for Heroes 3, which is why I would like to see everything—the swamp, the Barbarians, and... reading your posts here, why does nobody want an elemental castle?? It appeared last in Heroes 3 and caused very contradictory reactions—some love it, others even ban it in championships, but I think everyone wouldn't mind playing with it. Of course, it's unlikely that Nival will now take the familiar fairies from Sylvan, rip out the elementals and phoenixes available in Magic (the latter being as high as tier 5), and combine them into a separate town, but still, the concept of an elemental castle fits very harmoniously into a fantasy world. And I really liked the psychic elementals! Bring back the psychics! :)))
Plus, I can only imagine how it would look from the inside, rotating as the camera flies around... my mouth is watering; it would probably be the most beautiful castle in Heroes 5. :)

I don't know, generally everything seems fine, I voted for the Barbarians; there's potential to add content and make them interesting. Three Elves are definitely too many.

In my opinion, first the green Barbarians, and then the Swamp creatures! ;)

The main thing is that the Nival team doesn't get lazy when they make the Barbarians; otherwise, they'll just draw one orc and keep: putting him in armor, putting him on wolves, then on ruhs, then giving him bows (like the humans).
And the swamp-dwellers are harder—they are all different.
We will hope for Nival and his attitude toward consumers

I didn't add Elementals because they already exist in the game as summonable creatures, and that role suits them perfectly. Yes, I really liked their castle, but it's too late to change anything now. By the way, judging by the beauty inside the castle, the Swamp faction could have a very beautiful castle. And other factions could also have quite impressive castles... I'm just puzzled by Nival's behavior – in the racial contest, they chose far from the best participants. But I think they simply have to create Barbarians or Swamp creatures for us : )

I would like Orcs...)))

But seriously... it would be nice to have something original... Perhaps some race related to space. For example, this race could turn the world of Heroes of Might and Magic V into a "techno-fantasy." For instance, everyone knows the game World of Warcraft, and a new expansion is coming out in January with a couple of new races. One of them is interesting because it turns the world of Warcraft into a techno-fantasy... This race is called the "Draenei," and essentially, to put it in modern terms, they are aliens. Their spaceship crashed in the world of Azeroth (that's what the world in Warcraft is called)... But they also have warlocks, mages, warriors, and so on...

But in Heroes 3, Elementals were also summoned, but I would like there to be an Elemental race in Heroes 5. But it's probably too late for that, because in Dark Messiah, there are many orcs/cyclops and other creatures in Erathia, so there will be Barbarians in the add-on:( :(

I don't care what race it is. The main thing is that there is one. And it would be best if there were not just one, and not some ridiculous one. To be honest, dark elves slightly annoy me. Underground warlocks were more appealing. In my opinion, following the traditions of "Heroes of Might and Magic III", neutral races should be introduced! Three good, three evil, and three neutral. For example, I would like it to be barbarians, reptiles, and someone else. I am against an underwater race. Because that's nonsense. No one will create a third level of the map, and they will look pathetic on it. Just like dark elves... A huge boulder falls from the sky above the abyss - what beauty!!! :mad:
