Posts from Unusual Heroes

I noticed that the Castle faction only has one black character – the hero Edric (specializes in griffons).
Also, the Elves have one black human hero...
The Mages have a black dragon as a campaign hero...

There are also female black heroes, like Andra for the Fortress and Tamika for the Necropolis.

Question: where did they come from in Enroth?

o_O what's the difference? =)

Just descendants of colonists, that’s all. What’s the problem?
Besides, even if life on Enroth had developed on its own, there’s no reason to believe that there wouldn’t have been dark-skinned people there.
You’re asking strange questions, sir.

So, there must be people nearby, within the Kingdoms! Many peoples who don't have cities!

The kingdoms in Enroth contain people with a wide range of skin tones, so there's no point in fantasizing about an "African castle" or an "Asian castle." Moreover, the differences between members of different factions often extend beyond just skin color. Factions are primarily determined by geographical location and a shared ideology. In the role-playing game series, for example, the crossbowmen of Erathia and Tatalia have dark skin. And in the second part of the series, among the knight heroes, there were even a couple of non-humans – Tiro and Maximus. And other factions had an even more diverse list; just look at the list of Warlocks, Necromancers, or Wizards.

Necromancers are almost all vampires and liches.
Warlocks, yes, they are diverse.
Wizards are mostly mages, and there are a couple of genies...

Just in case you missed it.
The Necromancer faction only has one Lich, Sandro. And among the vampires, I can only remember Ranlu. But, for example, neither Charity nor Zama can be called a vampire or a Lich, nor a regular person.

Xy lich! Nagash lich... Should I continue?

A subtle hint, don't miss it.

I've always been more interested in the large number of creatures in castles that aren't human. Whereas in the human castle of the aliens (at least in the third game), this isn't observed. Or maybe I don't remember, but either way, the generals of Erathia somehow ended up scattered throughout the entire world, and various orcs, beastmen, and elves with dwarves don't want to fight for Erathia, which is strange.

1) Maximus and Tiro from the second game fought on the side of the Knights, but they weren't humans. Yes, in the second game, the Knight faction represents Enroth, not Erathia, but by the time of the third game, they have the same ruler. So, Goblins and Ogres (Tiro is an Ogre, as far as I can tell) have some chance.
2) Beastmen, the inhabitants of Tatalia, were slaves of the Erathians for a long time. And in "Chronicles of Heroes," if I remember correctly, Tarnum is one of the leaders of the rebellious Beastmen.
3) Although Gelu is a hero of the Rampart in terms of gameplay, he is actually a member of a faction working for Erathia. And, therefore, all his Elves and Dwarves work for Erathia.
4) A Djinn-Knight is original, even too much so. Besides, there is one such hero among the Barbarians.
5) The same goes for Troglodytes, Ifrits, Krigans, Elementals, and Minotaurs.

But there is another interesting point: among the Necromancers, there are many Troglodyte heroes, while among the Elves, there isn't a single Centaur hero, and among the Barbarians, there isn't a single Orc hero (up to the fourth part). And yet, the latter have a Djinn hero!

As far as I remember, in "Heroes Chronicles," Tarnum is one of the leaders of the rebellious beastmen.

Tarnum has been many things, appearing in almost every faction. But he started as a Barbarian.

By the way, in the Barbarian faction, only about 35% of the heroes in the third tier are humans. The rest are goblins, orcs, and a djinn! So, all races are represented equally! Well, except for the djinn...

The Barbarians have no Orc heroes, but they do have several Ogres. Ogres are brown/green hulking creatures, while Orcs are beastmen with pig-like snouts. This is not very noticeable in the Orc model in Heroes 3, but it is clearly visible in the first, second, and fourth installments of the series, or in the official Orc artwork. There were also no Cyclops heroes. So, the Barbarians are represented by 3 out of 5 races. Besides the Swamp, the only faction that includes all the "races" present in the list can be considered the Necromancers. Even then, there are some points to argue, as there is not a single Ghost hero. We can also mention the Goblins inhabiting the world of Deyja, none of whom made it into the list of heroes (except perhaps in their undead form). Elementals don't fit either, as there are no Fairies among the heroes, despite the presence of Djinns, Elves, and Dwarves. By the way, returning to the topic of Gnomes, Goblins, and Elves serving Eraфия, I forgot to give the best example of foreign heroes - our party in Might and Magic 7! Even a group consisting entirely of Elves can join Eraфия instead of AvLee. Just as a Goblin can become a Light Archmage serving Gavin Magnus.

Notice that in almost every castle in Heroes of Might and Magic III, 35% of the heroes are humans! Ple-Sen, you say that practically anyone can join any kingdom and become a hero? A goblin is too crude to become a mage, just as an elf is too proud to be a servant of King Gryphonheart.
