Posts from Heroes 6 - Discussion

I wasn't planning on playing, but a friend downloaded it, and I ended up enjoying it.

it kept crashing on me(((((((

/topic/at/485231/

Pictured (in rows from bottom to top):

First row - Askhа, Coral Priestess, Sar-Elam, Griffin, Urgash

Second row - Juggernaut, Ghoul

Third row - Archangel Michael, Anwen, Gotai, Wulfstan, Solmyr Ibn Wali Barrad, Cyclops, Zehir

Fourth row - Godric, Katerina Ironfist, Roland Ironfist, Archibald Ironfist, Arantir, Railag

Fifth row - Korak, Crag Hack (human), Kha-Beleth, Sandro (from Ashan), Sheltem

It’s interesting what significant thing they found in Godric that made them put him practically on the same level as Korak?

Overall, Archibald (almost exactly as he looked in the old Might and Magic) and Korak turned out well in the artwork. They ruined Sheltem's helmet; it wasn't so horned in the original :) And they could have depicted him without armor; he would look even more impressive then. Crag Hack and Solmyr are important characters, but not that much; instead of them, it would be much better to see Ultimate Adventurers (Sir Caneghem, Resurrectra, Castor, Crag Hack – dwarf, Tolberti, Robert Wise, Maximus, Dark Shade) or at least some of them (Castor, Resurrectra).

Jelu is missing, but despite his popularity, he isn't that important. As is Sandro, whom many people somehow excessively praise.

In general, it would have been better to show more characters from the old universe, for example, instead of the mobs from Heroes 6, who aren't even plot-relevant heroes.

So, is there anyone who hasn't experienced it happening to them sooner or later?

An official collage? I agree, a mishmash of creatures and heroes is pointless.

Pictured (in rows from bottom to top):

First row – Askh, Coral Priestess, Sar-Elam, lamassu, Urgash

To be precise, it's not a lamassu there, but an ordinary griffin.

Is this an official collage?

It's fan art.

Fixed the griffon description.

It's fan art.

This is official art.

I didn't like Catherine in the artwork; Roland is okay, but he doesn't resemble himself; he's more like a kind version of his brother. Godric looks similar, but it's still not quite right, and the same goes for Solmyr. If I hadn't been told it was him, I would have mistaken him for an ordinary genie. I agree that instead of units, they should have drawn more heroes, but I disagree about the importance of the heroes. Solmyr didn't have much impact on the world (apart from making Gavin Magnus immortal and serving Bracade forever), but on the other hand, he is one of the characters featured in the main menu of the third game, and he was quite popular there for his Chain Lightning spell, and he also appeared in the fourth game's campaign. Crag Hack appeared in four games, was one of the main heroes in the Breath of Death campaign, appeared on the cover of that game, and also appeared in the Might and Magic games, plus, he was one of the winners of the audience award, so his place is more justified. As for how Sandro from Ashan differs from Sandro from the older games (besides the staff), I don't know. I remember that we, XEL, never finished our debate about what to call the world of Heroes 1-3 and Might and Magic 6-8 ;) and there's no point in continuing it now.

Since there isn't much else to discuss right now, I want to say a few words about this picture. It looks good, but the heroes have been redrawn quite a bit. I didn't recognize Kha-Belekh; he looks like some kind of gloomy knight. I liked Arantir. Gotai looks overly ferocious. And it was a real revelation for me that Ashha is also a dragon :). For some reason, I thought she wasn't one of the six dragons.

The following are depicted (from bottom to top):

Hmm. From top to bottom ;).

It's interesting what significant thing they found in Godric to put him almost on par with Korak?

Don't you remember that Godric is one of the greatest knights of Erathia?

For some reason, I thought she wasn't one of the six dragons.

And I thought she was their mother or something like that :(

Kha-Belekh didn't recognize him; he's some kind of gloomy knight.

What's there to recognize? Only he has the red helmet of Sauron. And I agree about Godric; who else from Haven should you choose from the 5th game if not him? Not Isabelle, who's mentally impaired. Besides, Godric is a really cool guy and a true knight.

Solmyr did not make Gavin Magnus immortal; when Magnus became immortal, Solmyr was still trapped in a bottle. The Great Vizier's immortality was caused by a spell he created, which had an unexpected effect. Crag Hack is certainly important, but instead of him, they could have featured Ultimate Adventurers (the Terran counterpart of Crag). He doesn't appear in Might and Magic, only in Heroes 1-4. Sandro from Ashan seems to be either the same Sandro from Enroth or has no connection to either the latter or the Xinian one.

I remember that we, you and I, XEL, never finished arguing about what to call the world of Heroes 1-3 and Sword and Sorcery 6-8.

Let's finish it: the world of Might and Magic 6-8 is called Enroth. This is stated in the manual of the sixth part (the phrase "world of Enroth" is used repeatedly, which translates to "the world of Enroth"). Also, Melian, the Guardian of the Planet, is introduced in the sixth part as the Guardian of Enroth. In Might and Magic VII (where spells of the Dark Magic school are described as "some of the most powerful on Enroth") and Sword of Dragons (where Sandro uses "Enroth" as a general name for the world in a conversation with Crag Hack), the world is also called Enroth. In Might and Magic VIII, this name for the planet also appears: in the manual (where Enroth is mentioned as a world, and the phrase "save Enroth from planetary extinction" is used) and by Xantor (who says that "more and more evidence points that Enroth is not the only place with life on it"). Thus, there is more than enough evidence about the name of the world, starting with Might and Magic VI. A few words about the myth that was common in the early 2000s, that this planet is Xinian after the Reunification. This misconception originated from an article by one of the journalists from Igromania (if I'm not mistaken, he was even registered here under the nickname Katrine) about Might and Magic VI-VIII. There are many assumptions and errors in it, caused by an incomplete knowledge of the plot of the games and the history of the game world. For example, CRON is inexplicably called the homeland of the Ancients. In the canonical games, there is not a single fact that would indicate that the planet on which Might and Magic VI-VIII and Heroes of Might and Magic I-III take place is Xinian. The seventh game completely refutes this version: Ultimate Adventurers (the main characters of Might and Magic III), who flew to Xinian but thought that Korak and Sheltem had crashed and went to search for the Ancients in space, speak of Xinian (which they saw) as a different planet in relation to Enroth.

[/U]Why bother identifying him? Only he has Sauron's red helmet.
And I agree about Godric; who else from Haven in Heroes 5 would you choose if not him? Not Isabel, who's mentally impaired. Besides, Godric is a really cool guy and a true knight.

Someone from the main heroes of Might and Magic III would be a much better choice instead of him. And from Heroes 5, Zephyr, Arantir, Gotai, Wulstan, and Rilaag are already depicted.

He wasn't featured in Might and Magic.

I might be mistaken, but who was that light-aligned leader with the same name and portrait in Might and Magic 7?

Let's wrap it up.

I've already finished, if you haven't noticed. :)

Instead, someone from the main heroes of Might and Magic III would have looked much better. And from the fifth Heroes, Zephyr, Arantir, Gotai, Wulstan, and Rilaeg are already depicted.

On one hand, I agree, but on the other, I understand Ubisoft. They don't want to continue the old universe, and not many of the current Heroes fans are familiar with it, which is why there are many heroes from the latest, fifth, installment and few from the previous ones.

I might be mistaken, but who is the light leader with the same name and portrait in Might and Magic 7?

No, that's Krag Hack from Terra. He's also a Barbarian, but a dwarf, not a human. He's one of the Ultimate Adventurers, eight main heroes from Might and Magic III, who are essentially the Dark and Light Advisors in the seventh game.

I've already finished, if you haven't noticed :)

I'm done. Read what I wrote for a change :) These are canonical facts from the games, which you should trust more than articles in Igromania.
