Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

MSCH, if it's not a secret, where did you get the names from? What language are they from?

Ment, it's no secret, it's a Dark Elf name. You can just substitute individual parts of the word. There are also female versions. Overall, if you haven't chosen any names yet, I can suggest more.

Here are my ideas: Pirate for the "Haven" faction named Massimo. Massimo, a cousin of Isabel, was unhappy with her marriage to King Nicholas, as he wanted to marry her himself. Therefore, under some pretext, he distanced himself from the court, sailing away on his ship in an unknown direction. Many had already forgotten about his existence, but when Isabel became queen, he immediately appeared at court and began to fight against those who opposed Isabel, trying to win her favor. The next hero, Randall, appears in the campaign cutscenes... why not make him a fully functional hero?! Randall, as the Archbishop of the Griffin Empire, always had disagreements with Isabel, and after her return from Shi'o, they intensified due to her canonization, as he considered it sacrilege, blasphemy, and heresy to canonize her, given her scandalous alliance with the necromancer Markel, a student of Sandro, Elrath's greatest enemy. Another one... a product of a wild imagination from five years ago... a hero named Sergio... for the same faction ;)
Sergio, a zealous inquisitor of the Church of Light in the Holy Griffin Empire, became a veteran, participating in numerous noisy skirmishes with the Free Cities of the East along the southeastern border of the Empire's territory, and therefore, more than anyone else, excelled in the study of Fire magic. For many years, he perfected the use of flames, believing that in this way he would save countless inhabitants of the Griffin Empire. Although his use of Fire magic sometimes produced unexpected results for the squads, no one could surpass him. From the same vein... a hero named Roman... Roman's belief in the motto "Courage and valor" saved him from captivity in Inferno, and thus he avoided certain death. But since he returned home and, seeing the Falcon Empire in ruins, he developed a battle frenzy towards all enemies. Avenging his enemies, he desperately fights in battle, trying to help his daughter Miv save the future of the crumbling Falcon Empire. Also, in the resources of the open beta version, I found a hero named Suog who had a biography. The version I provide has been slightly changed in terms of the hero's name and gender... Suog became Takmina ;)
The War of the Broken Staff brought ruin upon many Necromancers, some of them were evil schemers while others, like Takmina, were merely curious about things that others found distasteful. More an academic than a warrior, his studies led him to the discovery of ancient secrets. Now, in times of desperation, Takmina has found the courage to strike out on the path of lost secrets and ancient myths. And my version of the translation... The War of the Broken Staff crushed many necromancers, as some of them were evil schemers, but at the same time, there were others, like Takmina, who were interested in things that others found unpleasant. Leaning more towards magic than strength, she learned many ancient secrets, and now, in times of desperation, she is convinced that courage leads to the path of lost secrets and ancient myths. Here is another result of a wild imagination inspired by playing through the "Necropolis" faction campaign... a hero named Dolhat... When Queen Fiona died, no one suspected that in her womb was the secret fruit of her sinful relationship with the necromancer Markel. Although this fact remained a secret to everyone except Dolhat himself, as he knew for sure that his cradle was the grave of Queen Fiona, and his intuitive knowledge of necromancy was clear evidence of his paternity to the necromancer Markel. A prince by blood and a necromancer at heart, but by cruel fate doomed to exist as a zombie, and therefore only he is able to lead huge hordes of zombies, as they unconditionally recognize him as their leader.

It doesn't sound very smooth. Sinithar, Vaishan, Iranna, Railag... - these are easily pronounceable names, just like Alamar. Therefore, you can use the presented names, removing 2-3 letters (over time, everything simplifies) in favor of euphony. I really didn't like the word "Reconnaissance" in Heroes.

Here are my ideas:

And what specialization would they fit? At least a direction.

And what specialization would they fit? At least a general direction.

The descriptions can be reworked later.

Ment, it's no secret, it's Dark Elf.

Excuse me, which one? )

Dyrman - I agree, if we shorten the names intelligently, we won't lose anything, not even the characters. Ment - Here's the link where I get the names for the Dark Elves: http://stormtower.ru/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BC%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D1%8D%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%84%D0%B0_%28%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%83%29 Something like that. Psatkha - Isabel had no relatives. Literally: "Isabel is the only descendant of the ancient and wealthy Greyhound family. She was raised far from wars and military exploits, surrounded by numerous nannies and servants. The war that began gave the young queen a chance to try her hand at a traditionally male occupation. To achieve success in this field, Isabel uses without hesitation the little she has – wealth and her high position." And what about Railag?

Here is a description for the hero named Talithar from the Necropolis Faction, inspired by the Fourth Heroes!

In life, Talithar was a knight who dedicated himself to fighting the undead. This earned him widespread fame. One day, a group of liches and vampires ambushed him and brutally killed him, turning him into an undead creature. In this way, they gained the most powerful ally from their most dangerous enemy.

To succeed in this endeavor, Isabel will unhesitatingly use the little she has – wealth and her high status."

And what about Railag?

I didn't understand about Railag... please explain!

As for Isabel's relatives, judging by her description, she had no relatives on her direct paternal line - the Greyhounds, but nothing is said anywhere about her other lines! Any normal person with a father and a mother usually has four family lines!

I didn't understand what you meant about Railag... please explain!

Well, it's just that your cousin Isabel clearly wants a romance with her. But we know that Railag and Isabel are together. I'm just thinking in terms of a scenario category (or even a campaign), and immediately such passions arise, like in Shakespeare.

Although, if you just make a campaign with the confrontation between Haven and Dungeon, the plot is not bad. And I can't think of anything better right now.

Well, he's just a secret admirer ;)

I wanted to ask, what is Sandro's specialty?
In my opinion, the Markelov one suits him. I think he's a Lord of Death.

Here, I've corrected it:

Kelinar - legendary defender
Finimar - creator of lies
Eldrin - mad rogue
Sordol - spider blade
Belturr - fire

Wanted to ask, what special ability does Sandro have?
In my opinion, the one from Markov would suit him. I think it's "Lord of Death."

O_o, well, there's definitely no need to use that "cheesy" special ability.

I have a question – will all these heroes from the project be available in the editor? And will you be adding those who didn't die in the main campaigns? For example, Ilay, Wolfsten, etc. Thank you in advance.

Here is another heroine for the "Necropolis" faction named Vidomina... description from the Fourth Heroes... the icon is mine ;)

Once, Vidomina was an outstanding aristocrat who was fascinated by alchemy until it was discovered that she was conducting experiments on reanimating dead flesh. Banished from her family, she transformed from a scholar into a vengeful, ruthless necromancer.

Vidomina was a brilliant noblewoman who practiced a career in alchemy until she was banished when it was discovered that she was experimenting with reanimating dead flesh. That experience turned this scientific woman into the vindictive necromancer she is today.

Here is a Falmer with a chance to trigger *2 + 20.
