Posts from Which race would you add to Heroes?

Ifrits, phoenixes – they are all similar to genies, dragons – they are not intelligent in themselves, only strong. I don't know what fire spirits are, so I won't comment. There are too few of them.

Hmm... Inferno is ALREADY a city "like a portal". They even have racial bonuses based on summoning (using portals) from another dimension...

Well, LET'S ASSUME that the phoenixes are indeed not intelligent, but ifrits and djinns, even if only slightly (or rather, half of them, and their skin color is different), resemble humans, which means they are intelligent. So, if you reason like that, then:smile29: :smile29: :smile29: - Angels are NOT intelligent (they fly - therefore, they are NOT intelligent):smile29:, Dragons are NOT intelligent (they fly, and dragons only resemble humans in the arrangement of some limbs):smile29:, Druids and Unicorns are NOT intelligent (they are both just spirits of nature):smile29:, Titans are NOT intelligent (where have you seen humans shooting electricity?!):smile29:, all demons are NOT intelligent (imps, demons, succubi, Devils - they only VERY REMOTELY resemble humans...):smile29: :smile29: :smile29: so if you are complaining about my race, complain about all the others:smile14: :smile14: :smile14:

Angels seem to be intelligent – they don't just perform simple actions like guarding or attacking. Titans, judging by all appearances, are also not intelligent; they are just flesh with spirits placed inside. Among the demons, it seems that higher demons like Devils, Cave Lords, and Succubi are intelligent. Druids are also intelligent – everyone who casts spells is intelligent in themselves. A Djinn is unintelligent precisely because it casts spells randomly – what is bad for others can be good for its own kind, and even a dog will understand that.
If I haven't convinced you, then who will be the hero of your faction? An elemental divided into 4 – a fire elemental – that's as absurd as the Conflux in Might and Magic III)))

Description:
Long ago, before the creation of all other races, far beneath the world of demons and devils, life thrived. All creatures of this faction are made of fire and ash and have absolute immunity to Fire magic and 20% resistance to Earth magic. The Fire Race lived far underground, making almost no changes to their traditions and customs, and only some time after the other races appeared, they gathered the Portal – the only way into this world. Now, the Fire Race wants to prove that it is worthy of recognition by the other races, and will prove it by any means – through peace or war, through fire or sword.
Perhaps, having two spellcasters in the army is not so bad...
I hope you'll forgive me for the lack of alternative upgrades FOR NOW... I'll have time to do it by autumn...
I once said that one of the Ifrits should be cool, and the female one... well... maybe only males should remain:D :D :D
And also - do the admins ever check this thread?:smile26: :smile26: :smile26: Or are we just creating fantasy for ourselves???!!!:smile05: :smile05: :smile05: :smile05: :smile05: :smile05:

Let's go through this point by point – maybe it's not a race of fire, but a race of Elemental Ash.
Making something invisible – I find it hard to imagine this ability in the game – it's like no one could attack it before it strikes – that's not good.))))
Fire lizards – no, that doesn't work – and the explosion, level 2 – it's almost a clone of the demon from Inferno.
And what about embodiments, entities of fire – can you elaborate?)))) And a wraith and a sorcerer – isn't that too much?))))
Again, a hero Ifrit – you can have a couple, but no more. Let's come up with human fire elementalists.))
But in general, this race doesn't belong in the game – you can fantasize, but not to that extent.)))
Let's just say we're creating this for ourselves, since no one has gotten a contract with Nival out of it.)))

Oh... You're the most obtuse person I've ever met... If you're even a person at all (and not some kind of necromancer :D), no offense ;)
Let's go through this point by point:
The Ash Race? Well, that just won't work, sorry...:( If you don't like the Fire Race, you can change it, but the Ash Race is even worse...
Invisibility - let's say for 3 turns, one mana per turn, and a total of 3 mana (or not 3),
Fire Lizards... (LOOK LIKE DEMONS???!!! You've got to be kidding...) They should have less health, less attack, and more defense than demons, and demons DON'T ATTACK across the map... and Fire Lizards don't shoot at range...
Incarnations, Fire Entities... Remember the Necropolis Ghosts? Well, imagine these ghosts are fiery, take up more space, and don't wander around in torture chambers... (DOWN WITH THE INQUISITION!!!) and they cast spells at the same time... you could make them an orange mist from which two hands protrude, gradually taking shape, and a vague head appears, with two red eyes burning...
The Ifrit hero... well, you could make him an elementalist, but you'd have to bring back the Fire Elementals to the army, so choose...
And why wouldn't this race have a place in Heroes?! Well, you could make it NEUTRAL, but with upgrades and a castle... (that's a cool idea!)
P.S.: If you have any questions about the hero's unique abilities, write them here, in this thread, I check it often...
And the fact that there are no archers (except for the Salamander) - well, there has to be some kind of drawback for balance...

I'm not a person – I'm a ghost, or even a lich!)))
In my opinion, Heroes 5 needs catchy names, but the name for the fire race sounds as unappealing as it did in the third game.
So, what's the point of giving the lizardmen an explosion ability if they shoot?
Will fire elementals then remain neutral? Are we going to discard all sorts of weak creatures?
A spirit turns into some weak mage, level 1, with only 3 mana.
Regarding the entities – let's assume they cast spells and let's assume they have a ghostly appearance (although a ghostly appearance is only characteristic of necromancers), but they still turn out to be too strong.
In general, I think that one could only consider such a race before the expansion with the dwarves was released. Without fire dragons, they look weak, even with a phoenix – it just doesn't feel right.

I'm getting really annoyed... :smile05: :smile05: :smile05:
Lizards shoot mana, and only the upgraded ones do.
Fire elementals and phoenixes will remain neutral but will belong to a specific faction.
Spirits will only cast invisibility for themselves.
Entities should be weak and have low initiative.
And the young fire dragons on level 3 can definitely be replaced with something...
If you have more questions, ask...
And about the race, I said - if needed, change it - you'll be the... co-discoverer or whatever...

What did I say???!!! You can't do without elements...

Well, they need to come up with a reasonable upgrade and create better and more original abilities for all creatures – there should be a couple of completely new abilities, otherwise, how can we talk about the originality of the faction?

Oh my god...:smile16: :smile16: :smile16: :( :( :(
The Lava Elemental is quite acceptable and fits the theme; I've already explained why there are no archers. As for the abilities – they are based on the game (I don't really want to change what I didn't come up with myself...), Fire Spit and some other thing – these are completely new, what's next?;) ;) ;)
P.S.: Please, ask all your questions at once, because you write so rarely...:(

It sounds like a Lava Dragon, but a bit weaker. Okay.
Abilities – a few units should have unique abilities, like the Lava Dragon having a lava shield instead of a fire shield, like the ability of the Trolls – Chain Lightning, like the ability of the Bear Riders – a paw strike, like the Berserkers having their berserker rage, like the Mountain Guards having their ability to reduce damage from running... In general, almost all units – at least 5 – should have their own unique abilities that haven't been seen before, but it's extremely difficult to come up with new, original, but appropriate abilities for the Fire faction.
P.S. I write in many topics, and I can't focus on just one – ask other critics, and you'll see that I'm not the only one who thinks this way...

You should have called yourself Alex Critic or Ghost Critic, not Alex Ghost...
Before thinking about abilities, you need to figure out who will be at level 3 (which I haven't figured out yet), but as it is...
Invisibility - unique
Fire spit - unique
Fire shield - seems unique
Resurrection - unique
The Fire elementals also seemed to have some kind of unique ability...
and finally, you can make a unique ability for level 3
What's next?

Fire elementals don't have anything unique.
Fire Spit isn't unique – it's just a slightly more unusual ability than a regular attack.
Fire Shield isn't unique either.
Resurrection isn't unique either – unless you put Phoenixes at level 7.
Think, think – your version is underdeveloped – go to the "New Ideas" section – there are ideas there that are so well thought out that your race looks quite pale in comparison))))
