I agree that they are different. I wrote carelessly. Mythology and Philosophy are two absolutely different worldviews :) Well, if it comes from philosophy, it even makes the game more logical! ;)

And what does the game have to do with it?

The game – I mean the project. Not the action itself. See, now you can explain the existence of glitches using philosophical concepts :cool:

And the elementals from ancient Greek mythology. It was there that the first philosophical schools, more precisely the Milesian school, studied the fundamental principles of the world. Such wise men as Thales, Anaximenes, Anaximander, and Heraclitus asserted that these elements were the four components of the world, and each philosopher considered one of these elements to be the primary one.

But they were just fundamental principles, not beings, i.e., everything consists of certain elements, but there are no living elements themselves!

That's why the developers keep changing their appearance... for the last three installments in the Heroes series, the Elemental faction has been getting a makeover.

It's obvious.

That's why the developers are so cruel with their appearance... in the last 3 parts of the Heroes series, the elementals have changed their appearance.

I liked the elementals in Heroes 3 and 4.
But in the 5th one... A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the fourth game, the elementals are terrible: that earth elemental, does he come from Easter Island?
In the third game, it's the optimal option.
And in the fifth game... NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!((c)Magnus)

Yes, in fifth place, it's not exactly a fountain of elemental power, but it's better than in fourth, IMHO. Although, in third place, I didn't really like the water elementals...

What do you think of the black knight on a scrawny horse?

What do you think of the black knight on a skinny horse?

A natural question arises: "But why black?". More like red :D And also with a purple magic sword... yes, it seems that many Japanese people were involved in the development... such a saturation of colors is terrible! I recently watched a show where they talked about people with epilepsy. And the most important reason is that the cartoons are too colorful, and they put Japanese children in a state of chronic epilepsy from childhood :eek: A nightmare! Let's reduce the brightness on our monitors, everyone! :D

An angel with a glowing sword, a vampire with a braid, a black and red knight...
Could it be that the game is being made on commission for Japan?:)

Yes, to put it mildly, the elemental magic in the fifth game isn't great, but it's better than in the fourth, in my opinion. Although, I really didn't like the water magic in the third game...

I understand. He's one of us :)

Well, what can you expect from the Japanese? Anime everywhere ;) :(
And they couldn't be bothered to make the sword black, or at least red (since their black knight turned into a red one):mad:

Ubisoft probably wants to introduce the game to the South Asian market and increase its popularity with new features. Perhaps the Japanese are offended that the monsters and heroes everywhere look like Europeans. Look at almost all the monsters in the Elven castle; they have narrow eyes. And those tails on the vampires. In Ashan, they worship dragons. And even angels worship dragons. And in Japan and China, there is no Christianity, but in Buddhism, dragons are spirits or gods. (I don't know). That's why they worship them. And look at the Medieval Dragon (Heroes 3) and the Land of the Rising Sun (Heroes 5). The Emerald Dragon is a particularly good example. In Heroes 3, it was so kind and cute, but in the fifth game, it's a villain:mad: and scary:mad:. And look at the Druid. It's a mockery of Celtic culture:mad:
In general, Heroes 5 is like Heroes, Japanese style:mad:
