mythology something dot ru :)

I think that's what the website was called... I forgot it, though.

I'm from the "Mythological Dictionary." I recommend it! Published by "Bolshaya Rossiyskaya Entsiklopedia," 1992. :)

P.S. - Don't think this is an advertisement on the forum! :D

I'm curious about what the creatures of Mugais will look like, because these meat-chopping monsters... don't really tell me anything, except that they remind me of horror movies, or people at a slaughterhouse! :D
And tell me, what books do you get all these Huitzilopochtli and Coatlicue from?!:D

From encyclopedias about the ancient world.

By the way, I remembered: I wanted to add Amazons. They actually lived to the east or north of Greece, but the image of them as inhabitants of the jungle is quite common. In general, just a note – an interesting concept. I wanted to make them versatile, stealthy archers. Abilities: - "Stealth": invisible for the first 6 turns. Becomes visible when attacking. - "Ranged Attack" - active ability - bow shot. Reveals her, making her visible on her next turn after the shot. In general, they carry a short (relatively) sword, or two swords. In melee, they attack without retaliation. Melee attack also makes her visible, but immediately. P.S.: And what about the sonar-quasars in my previous post? P.P.S.: In general, the idea is that we are not going to embody such a distinctly American tribal race from our world. We are doing this (at least I am) purely out of creative impulse, and the theme is interesting - Aztecs, and all that. Although, if you develop the race well enough, you could dare to create it yourself or send it to Nival.

I'm all for it! :)

Actually, I came up with this race purely out of interest. You suggested the idea, and I liked it ;) We could, of course, develop it and send it to Nival. I just don't have the skills to think through the hero's abilities and the characteristics of the creatures. Maybe we should involve MoZes? :D As far as I understand, he wouldn't mind.

Regarding those who are indignant – “What’s so special about a ‘winged serpent’ breathing fire?” – let it breathe a cone of ICE instead :)

I'm all for it! :)
Actually, I came up with this race purely out of curiosity. You gave me the idea, and I liked it ;) We could develop it further and send it to Nival. But I don't have the skills to come up with hero abilities and creature stats. Maybe we should involve MoZes? :D As far as I understand, he wouldn't mind.

I'm not particularly interested either, but I really don't want to write kilometer-long tables of parameters. But I think I can come up with an ability...

Oh! What a letdown! Look at the swamp: square, multi-tiered pyramids, huts, lizardmen... It's Aztec style (partially)! However, as a reincarnation of the swamp in Heroes 5, it would look pretty good...

The swamp contains only a slight hint of Aztec style, and the only creatures there are lizardmen from their mythology.

Yeah, I said – just a little bit. The ziggurat didn't get any worse because of it.
