Absurdity: How do you attack the city of Mages? We'll just get into a big cargo elevator and, singing and dancing, ascend to their floating islands! P.S.: The demo was good, the 3D is excellent, we're eagerly awaiting the release (I want to ride in the cargo elevator).

I wanted to ask, is anyone able to take the Treant model from the open beta and put it into the demo and, consequently, the release?
Modders, are you there?
They won't be able to. Everyone unanimously disliked this model :(

They won't include it... everyone unanimously criticized this model :(
Provide a link to the criticism...
Especially from EVERYONE.

Let's see the link to the criticism...
Especially from EVERYONE.
Well, if it's from everyone, there are many links... On the Nival forum (where, as far as I know, you visit), many people expressed their disapproval of him; otherwise, why do you think it was replaced?

Are you claiming to know why the model was replaced?
I don't.
But the current model doesn't match the description...
And, frankly, it doesn't even look much like a tree; it's more like a mix of an alien and a spider from the movie *Starship Troopers*.
It's just as absurd as the gargoyle.
And on the Nival forum, where I visit often, not many people spoke out against the old model, but quite a few have already expressed their disapproval of the new one...

And it doesn't really look like a tree either; it's more like a mix of an alien and a spider from the movie Starship Troopers.

And on the Nival forum, where I visit often, not many people expressed opposition to the old model, but there are already a decent number of people who are against the new one...
I don't know for sure why the model was changed; I didn't have anything against the old one, but it seems that the new one will remain, since the booklets with descriptions of the factions (for the

I don't know for sure why the model was replaced—I had nothing against the old one, but I suspect the new one will stay, since the race description booklets (for the Heroes 5 Limited Edition) use drawings of the new model)
Personally, I don't give a damn which model makes it into the release; I'm wondering if anyone is capable of stuffing the old model into that release...
That's who I was reaching out to. I had no hope whatsoever that Nival would do it, but our community sometimes rivals the developers in talent...
One person is already fixing the hero interface (added a doll and pockets, and placed the hero' same primary skills on one page with the inventory; IMHO, it's way more convenient), maybe someone can suggest how to replace the model...

I agree, even though I have always harshly criticized Nival's artists for every little detail, I didn't really criticize the dendroids... they were at least wooden and impressive... but now they are plastic and alien... Whose idea was it? Are Ubisoft going crazy? Most likely, yes....

And changing the model, in my opinion, is simple: just extract it from the beta version and put it into the release ;)...

Frankly, I don't care which model makes it into the release; I'm interested in whether anyone can put the old model into that release...
That's who I contacted. I never had any hope that Nival would do it, but sometimes our community members are just as talented as the developers...

I think there aren't any particularly difficult manipulations needed here; you just need to find the old model in the data.pak file and move it to the corresponding file in the release. The only question is whether they changed the format or structure of this file. I know that in the beta, you could simply open it with Total Commander and easily extract information from it. But if they did change it, then we need to wait for someone to decipher it, and then follow step #1.

Exactly! We should do that. I hope Nival will consider it and won't compress everything into an archive, otherwise we won't be able to do anything.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE GORGS!
SERIOUSLY, WHY MAKE THEM SO UGLY?! WHAT KIND OF MUTANT DID THEY CREATE, WITH A GRAVESTONE ON ITS HEAD, AND HOW DOES IT EVEN MOVE? ...and I feel bad for the Djinns too... they put a hat on their head, covering it completely... I haven't even played with all of them yet, and I'm already scared.

SERIOUSLY, WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?! WHAT KIND OF MUTANT DID THEY CREATE? HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S WALKING WITH A TOMBSTONE ON HIS HEAD. ...and I feel bad for the Djinns too... they just put a hat on their head, covering it all the way... I haven't even played all of them yet, and I'm already scared.
Don't worry... we'll figure something out... maybe they'll fix the Gargoyle in the add-on... or the fans will... But for now, we'll just have to put up with this little mess...

They could have just redone it right away:mad:. Again, it's all about making money:(. Nival is collecting puzzles. :D It's called: collect a game disc and a bunch of add-ons, and you'll get Heroes 5:D.

However, look at what they did with Warcraft... they crammed all sorts of things in there. The same goes for almost all games....
So, it's not the worst thing.... In general, there's no need to think about it so critically... just play the game....
