Besides, it looks more like armor, even though, in theory, these knights are supposed to be fast units.

That doesn't contradict the other point; they supposedly appear from the grass and behind trees using magic. Poof-poof!

Also, the helmet and shield look ridiculous. And while the shield is somewhat acceptable, I've never understood the desire to give troops such absurd headgear.

Actually, decorating headgear and helmets is a rather old tradition. Hoplites decorated them with feathers, Vikings with horns, and people decorated them with all sorts of things... Look at the hats of modern British guards protecting Buckingham Palace. So, I don't see anything so terrible about these a-la wings. It's not practical, yes, but I can't say it's unrealistic.

They weren't even close to being as massive and imposing, although they are often depicted that way in various artworks.

Vikings with horns.

Actually, they didn't decorate them.

Look at the hats of modern British guards, who guard Buckingham Palace.

Compare them to regular English soldiers. The palace guards are definitely more ornate. Their uniform is more for ceremonial purposes than for combat.

Maybe...

Actually, they didn't decorate anything.

Okay, let's assume that.
You've convinced me. But I still like it.

I'm also curious, whose headgear is more ridiculous.

Your “ancient Celt,” most likely, was taken from the cover of some fantasy novel. You would be better off looking for photographs of helmets, rather than drawings.

It's a perfectly normal hat, what's the problem?

Whatever

Unfortunately, feathers don't last that long. Here, for example, is a helmet:

In the middle, there was a crest made of horsehair, and on either side of it, you can see two holes for feathers.

Another example of an elaborate helmet: Thracian, bronze, 4th century BC:

Ceremonial helmets, though not as elaborate as in that picture. Is there anything else to say?

The druid's scythe is the only thing that impressed me. They were too lazy to create a new image for the archer and just took a screenshot from Might and Magic. The phoenix is exactly as I expected it to be, and it fits perfectly in the Academy. The dancers are quite good, I must say. The unicorn reminds me of the one from Heroes of Might and Magic V, but it's drawn in a different style. Something is off about its physique.

The unicorn resembles one from Heroes V, but drawn in a different style. Something seems off about its physique.

This is a unicorn summoned by a hero.

screenshots of the Druid and Unicorn are lying around in my "junk" folder in the images, with a modification date of 2009. But we could have tried to draw the creatures ourselves...

It's very simple, it's a steroid-enhanced unicorn! It's overmuscled.

Strictly speaking, it says that these are not current artworks. The phoenix and archer, I think, are familiar to many. I think they're just too lazy to draw anything new right now, and the pictures are there so that people can more or less understand what we're talking about.

they are just lazy

:smile20: indeed, why bother.

However, for now, the seventh installment appeals to me much more than the sixth. Perhaps I'll even play it if they finally finish it.
