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

And yet, can you scientifically explain to me why you don't want Tarsis to have the Chaos Dampening skill?

It will ruin everything for her in terms of logistics.

It doesn't align with the hero's special ability at all. With other heroes, there's a clear connection between their skill progression and specialization.

Welcome the new addition to the Dungeon faction!

Portrait for the heroine named Olkhara -

Olkhara first emerged on the surface in her mature years. Thanks to her excellent night vision and thorough knowledge of the dungeon's locations and city walls, she learned to defend herself very skillfully, unlike her tribesmen who do not use the surrounding terrain to their advantage.

Portrait for the hero named Alamar -

Although dark elves have women dedicated to the cult of Malassa, Alamar had his own opinion on this matter. The rituals impressed him, and one day he decided to perform one himself, namely a sacrifice. At that time, he failed to please Malassa, and he was already resigned to the fact that he would have to pay with his life for the mistake in performing the ritual, but then she suddenly changed from anger to mercy... No one knows what happened there; either she saw something unusual in him, or she was simply in a good mood, but since then, Malassa has always accompanied him everywhere.

The icons are great, but the name Alamar? Couldn't they come up with original names for the Dark Elves?

And why not give Taris the "Fundamentals of Battle Cry" ability?

The name Alamar is in version 50 of the MOD, and what, isn't it a Dark Elf name?:confused:

I turned the hero named Olhar into a heroine named Olhara.

Although Alamar's biography was written by me, it needs to be revised. )

The name has already been suggested to be changed, I think it will be. )

By the way, why is this Alamar from version 50 not selectable on any of the maps?!

And from the hero named Olhar, I made a heroine named Olhara ;)

Not quite, it's not entirely a dark elf name.
Alamar is a very prominent figure; he is one of the strongest Warlocks.
He appears in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th parts of the Heroes series. He is remembered as

Although Alamar's biography was written by my pen, it should be corrected )
Although among the dark elves the cult of Malassa is handled by women, Alamar had his own opinion on this. The rituals captured his imagination and one day he decided to perform one himself, namely a sacrifice. Back then he failed to please Malassa and he had already decided that for the blunder in performing the ritual he would have to say goodbye to his life. However, unexpectedly for everyone, the Dragoness changed her anger for mercy. No one knows what happened there, whether she saw something unusual in him, or she was simply in a good mood, but since then Malassa has always accompanied him everywhere.

It has already been suggested to change the name, I think that's how it will be )

Well, if we are renaming, then we should use elven names!

For example, using this collection of information:

Below are some names, as well as the rules for constructing them.

Ancalimon - "Brightest" (name of one of the Numenorean kings). Apparently, it comes from the adjective ancalima "brightest" + the ending -on. Thus, here is one of the rules of name formation. (It should be noted that by adding the ending -on and dropping the final vowel, only male names are formed). Thus:

Ainon - "holy" from ainu.
Arkuenon - "noble" from arkuen.
Veon - "adult, manly" from vea (equivalent to the name Andrew).
Mirimon - "free" from mirima.
Niellon - "bard" from niello.
Nakilon - "victor" from nakil.
Ohtaron - "warrior" from ohtar.
Poldon - "reliable" from polda.
Tiron - "guardian" from tir.
Hallon - "tall" from halla.
Hravanon - "furious" from hravani.

Please note that male endings are not limited to just - on.

In the Silmarillion, we see the name Ancalime "brightest" (name of the queen of Numenor). From this, it can be concluded that the ending - e is used for forming female names, as opposed to the male ending - on. Thus:

Ancalime - "brightest".
Arkuene - "noble".
Irime - "beautiful".
Mirime - "free".
Tuilinde - "swallow".
Cue - "dove". (It should be noted here that single-syllable names are permissible in Quenya, but not frequently used).

However, the methods of name formation are not limited to this. Among elves, names like Amandil "friend of aman" were very popular, i.e., Aman + ending - ndil "friend". This is how the name Narendil, meaning "friend of fire," is obtained, for example.

Amandil - "friend of Aman".
Anarendil - "friend of the sun".
Isilendil - "friend of the moon" (note: moon - isil + linking vowel -e).
Lairendil - "friend of summer"
Taurendil - "friend of the forest" (Note: forest - taure, final vowel -e; is cut, and connected to the ending via -e).
Earendil - "friend of the sea".
Elendil - "friend of the stars".

Among female names, there are names formed using the ending -iel "daughter".

Amaniel - "daughter of Aman".
Anariel - "daughter of the sun".
Isiliel - "daughter of the moon".
Lairiel - "daughter of summer".
Tauriel - "daughter of the forest".
Eariel - "daughter of the sea".
Eleniel - "daughter of the stars".

There are also names like Mornemir "Black Diamond", morne "black" + mire "gem, diamond". Such names are formed from ordinary words, without the addition of specific endings.

Male names:

Lairasul - "Summer wind".
Mornemir - "Black diamond".
Naramakil - "Fiery sword".
Sinyagil - "Evening star".
Taurohtar - "Forest warrior".
Elenandar - "Stellar harpist".
Elemmakil - "Stellar sword".

Female names:

Lotanarie - "Sun flower".
Tauretari - "Queen of the forest".
Laurindie - "Golden heart".

Here's a cool online generator for Elven names!

Psatkha, maybe Olkhaerin then?

Psatkha, maybe Olkhaerin then?

- Where did you get the -erin from?!

If we follow the rules for creating names, then it should be Olkhariel, meaning the daughter of some Olkhar.

Rules are good, but I think we shouldn't deviate too much from the original. The name should at least vaguely resemble the old one, and, more importantly, it should be simple. Let's not forget that the elf is not a forest elf ;)
The special ability was taken from Arantir; it summons a servant of Malassa. The servant's model is not the same as the avatar of death, and its stats are not as impressive.

So, it was stolen, and we can wave goodbye to Arantir?!
