Then it just got repetitive. It was good up to the fifth installment, of course. There was no racism.

I read it... What I wrote about my heroes seemed like a pathetic collection of letters...

Techno race? I like it!

Something similar already existed in the fourth game, so it's plagiarism.

Lord Black, I think you already understand why your idea isn't quite suitable.
codenameray, well done. The story is good, and you've thought through the units well. Let's get started with the review, if you don't mind. The first thing I want to ask is, do you remember Forge? I have a strong sense of déjà vu. And, as with Forge, I'm against something like this in Heroes. We have enough Dragon-Golems from the 4th installment. Second question, were you inspired by Warhammer? The déjà vu is just as strong. Okay, let's move on to the units:
1. Miner-sappers are ordinary; there's nothing to criticize, but also nothing to praise. There are plenty of them in games: like these.
2.

Equipped with two steam fists or pneumatic fists. In short, iron gloves that somehow punch on their own. Unfortunately, I don't know how to explain it to you in more detail.

Does it need to be explained? Here's a clear illustration: this. I can find more examples from other games later.
3. Thrower-bombardiers. Again, it's all logical, but also banal; many games have something similar. Let it live.
4. Icarus. More information is needed; again, the associations are banal: like this.
5. Mechanical warriors and mechanical knights. One, two, three, four. I can continue.
6. Cannon-gunners. Ogres! like these.
7. Mechanical giant-destroyer. One hand is a mace, and the other is a flamethrower? It's hard to find an exact copy, and I don't have time right now; I'm at work. Here, take a look: this.

The hero himself evokes associations with this.

In conclusion. It didn't turn out to be completely new, from scratch. You came up with a great race, but the unique feature is banal, overused, and steampunk. You did a great job in a day, especially considering that you were also working; I honestly praise you, you deserve it. But it doesn't fit into the concept of Heroes – one, it's full of clichés – two. In my opinion, it's a plus/minus, a draw.

Why invent a race?:) The developers will come up with one anyway...:D :D :D
And why do you need it?!:confused: They won't add the race to the game anyway.:p

Why invent a new race?:)
And why do you need it?!!:confused: They won't add the race to the game anyway.:p

I'm sorry, they forgot to consult with you.

They forgot to consult with you, sorry.

Was that sarcasm or not?:cool:

No.

I agree with everything except the claim that the fourth installment is plagiarism!
I honestly don't know what that Forge Castle is, because I've only played the fourth game three times in my life.
I do know that there was a mechanical dragon in it. When I was unsure whether my race would fit into the Heroes universe, I remembered it and decided that it would.

I agree with the rest. It's very difficult to come up with something new. And it's simply impossible to come up with something that doesn't exist in Warhammer.

But the point is that it all started when one user began to praise the developers of the sixth installment, saying that they had done a great job and come up with a great race! To which I replied that the developers are not doing a great job and that what they came up with took them a minimum amount of time, because a new race can be created in a period of one day to one week.
Which I have essentially demonstrated.
After all, there is no need to invent anything - it all already exists. It's like a constructor - the parts are the same, but you can always put something different together.
In short, I still don't understand what they are spending their time on at Black Hole. Moreover, instead of water and snow nymphs, they could have come up with something brighter for the Nagas.

By the way, the pneumatic fists were honestly taken from me from Fallout 3, although they weren't steam-powered there.
The Icarus are a reference to Warhammer - that's true.
In my mind, the gunners just looked like big, pumped-up, bubble-like giants. I wasn't even thinking about Ogryns at the time. Although, by description, there are many coincidences.
A mechanical robot giant with a pilot inside is a cliché in itself, even without Warhammer. I wasn't thinking about it at that moment either, although by description, there are many similarities with a Dreadnought.
But the name of the race was honestly taken from Warhammer, as it simply sounds pleasant to the ear, and I didn't want to spend too much time on it.

Don't listen to random people writing about Heroes of Might and Magic IV. There was nothing like that in it; Forge is from Heroes of Might and Magic III. Yes, it's also not a good idea to combine posts from different people.

It's simply impossible to come up with something that doesn't exist in Warhammer.

Jelly elves.

In my mind, artillerymen looked like just big, buff, bubble-like giants.

The artillery crews from the third Warcraft are, in fact, carried by oversized gnomes. True, a frail old man with a telescope walks beside them as the gunner.

M, am I the only one who thinks that 5 out of 7 units in a faction of the same race is not very good?
Also, it's not very good that a gremlin is a mix of a human and a demon, while your squat is just a creature with a ratio of human and demon blood of 2 to 1.

But overall, yes, the idea is good; as someone who hasn't played Warcraft, I like it.

Gremlins are the result of experiments on goblins. Goblins themselves are already of mixed blood.
By the way, this fact is a drawback in Heroes, as gremlins are a completely independent race of fictional creatures.

Regarding having only one race – I thought about that. I couldn't find any allies for the dwarves, except for riding cyclops.
By the way, 6 out of 7 units for the dwarves are dwarves.

By the way, 6 out of 7 units in the Dwarves faction are dwarves.

Do you think that's normal?
