Posts from - Comparison of creatures from Heroes 5 with creatures in Heroes 3.

Steel units are pretty good, but in Heroes 5, they don't really fit with the Eastern-themed units.

The developers remembered well: you can't go out in the scorching sun without a hat!

Nagas and Rakshasa. I'll say this: I don't really like Nagas (don't hit me!), but Rakshasa are awesome. They're so fast and dangerous!

By the way, doesn't anyone find it strange that Rakshasa change gender when they upgrade? :confused: I really like the stylized "stockings" on the female Rakshasa...so sexy!:rolleyes:

And finally, the most controversial castle. A bit of a mixed bag. Let's go
Asura. Well, who to compare them with—the Rugarians from 3 or from 4? It turned out well. In 5 everything is fine in that regard.

Beasts—well, if compared to harpies, I don't even know. The beasts are certainly cuter, but the harpies capture the spirit of the Dungeon better.

Minotaurs. Sorry, here I even refuse to compare slaves with gods.
3 rules, definitely!

Hydras—hard to say. They seem okay, but they die in a strange way. After all, the beasts in 3 were somehow more solid.

Dragons. Oh, dragons. Some of my favorite units in Heroes 3. In 5 they turned out not to be as powerful. It's hard to talk about a decline, but they definitely didn't get better.

Riders and Matrons—no comment. But the execution is wonderful. And those girls with whips... oh boy... sorry, I got distracted :o

Summary. The castle is interesting, but Dungeon is better.

We are always happy to welcome newcomers – that’s why we advise them to take a look around first ;) Figure out what, where, and how things work ;) Read what others have already written! And – welcome!!

Don’t say “we.” I, for example, am not happy. And there may be other people who are not happy with newcomers. But even just me is enough to disprove your statement. Never present your opinion as the opinion of the public.

Don't say "we". I, for one, am not happy. And perhaps there are others who aren same own not happy about newcomers. But I alone am enough to refute your statement. Never present your opinion as the public opinion.

Fine... I could start arguing with you again - but I won't :mad: :mad: ;)
Then I'll write it differently (the essence remains the same). THE MAJORITY (the overwhelming majority!) of forum users ARE HAPPY about newcomers arriving... Without new users, the portal wouldn't develop... And you'd be sitting here ten people (roughly)!
And in general, you, Andrey, were also a newcomer once. As for not being happy - well, I sympathize with you... Being that angry at everyone and everything is clinical!!!:D :D :D
Anyway, it's about to lead to another fight...

To all those who were upset that vampires drink from corpses, my advice is to install the patch, and this absurdity will stop. 8))) Regarding the topic: I don't see any degradation of creatures... these are very different games, and many decisions are due to the change in the presentation of the image from 2D to 3D, so comparing them is somehow incorrect. It's like comparing a layout and a drawing.

Yes, you are right. For example, in Heroes of Might and Magic III, a golem with such a low resolution doesn't look very impressive with a weapon... But it doesn't need to! It ends up looking like a Greek sculpture. In general, we are discussing the style of the unit rather than the method and quality of its execution.

But I think most people understand that Heroes of Might and Magic III is not perfect, but it is harmonious, and its flaws are smoothed out. Heroes of Might and Magic V, on the other hand, has many semantic and stylistic shortcomings, etc., but it manages to hold its own thanks to its well-known brand and engine.

But there is a clear decline.

I agree! For example, I can't imagine some of the creatures from the third game in 3D, and the creatures from the fifth game as flat!:eek: :o :confused:

dendroids and ents. And what are ents??? A copy from Warcraft. What's the name? Does anyone know what ents are? Dendroids are immediately clear what they are about.

And I, on the contrary, perfectly know what ents are (and I recommend everyone who doesn't know to read a good book called "The Lord of the Rings"), but I haven't heard anything about dendroids anywhere. Only the root "dendro" is noticeable...

By the way, there is nothing Catholic about the monks in Heroes 5! Catholic clergy do not wear beards.

Similarly, Ents are more well-known. However, "dendroids" sounds more menacing and fits perfectly into the world of Might and Magic.

Where did you see beards?

Firstly, it's silly to determine religious affiliation based on such an insignificant characteristic. And the Inquisition, etc. - these are well-known Catholics.

The Inquisition – they are Catholics. But, by the way, Catholics didn't worship dragons...
And how can you NOT notice the beard? In Heroes 5, the monk is a bearded, stern man; by the way, the same is true for Heroes 4.
Continuing the topic of Catholics – enough with the criticism of angels, saying they don't look like angels! An angel shouldn't have sexual characteristics; it's neither a man nor a woman, and therefore they depict it as a male figure! A bearded, muscular guy from Heroes 3, portraying himself as an archangel, doesn't look like one at all! (but, of course, I haven't seen them :), so I can't vouch for the accuracy; but according to Christian canons, an angel is depicted exactly as I said).

Regarding the angels: I don't care if it's a man or a woman - the main thing is that they look beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Good grief, these are independent fantasy worlds, why do you think that the canons of angels in our world should be observed in a fictional one?

Gremlins supposedly appeared with the first airplanes, but in reality, they have existed for a long time. :D Does anyone still believe that these little pests are the reason why mechanisms that, according to all laws of physics, should work, don't work? :) Including computers.

Not African ones. Haitian ones. There are still people there who, if they are wealthy, pour concrete over the graves of their deceased, and those who are poorer sew their mouths shut.

They say that in the movie, the gremlin has a completely fake appearance. :o

Djinn are generally demons. It's just strange that everywhere they are depicted as blue. :-/
A ghoul from Varik? Are you talking about a ghoul? Ghouls are also djinn originally, that is, unclean spirits. By the way, they are of the female gender. D&D ones and, as a result, most fantasy ones are undead.
I was looking at an advertisement, and there was a picture of a djinn. "And why is he so good-natured? Damn, they are demons!"
Yes, the djinn from the tale of Aladdin (Europeans called him Aladdin – it’s easier to say) is a big exception. In reality, they didn't like people, to put it mildly, and they caused trouble in every way they could.
Wizards could trap djinn in lamps or rings, but that doesn't mean they live in them!
It is unlikely that a demon would enjoy being under the control of the human who freed him, so the three wishes could not always be obtained.
Face. You can recall the marid with the upside-down face from the same "Magic Lamp" (Aladdin also had a marid).
Oh yes. Ifrits are also djinn. :)

Sorry for the lecture. :o

It's interesting that people only look at the pictures and then argue... or sometimes they even launch the game... if you were to launch the game, you would know that this picture is from the BETA and has nothing to do with the final version... here is a screenshot from the game...

Okay, there’s a beard. So what? They didn’t lose their Catholic faith because of it.

Okay, they have beards. So what? They didn't lose their Catholic faith because of that ;)

Besides, if you play the game, you can find out that the monks in Heroes serve the Griffin Empire and, in the add-on, Saint Isabel 8)). And there's no trace of Catholicism there....
