I actually liked all the creatures from the Academy: gremlins are quite decent, I like their animation, I also like gargoyles, golems are fine, mages are awesome, and djinns are amazing – that’s exactly how I imagined them. I don’t understand, guys, what’s wrong with the djinns being drawn in an original way – in my opinion, they fit the definition of “djinn” the most out of the entire series. When I saw them, I was stunned... And there’s no need to even talk about rakshasas. By the way, does anyone have detailed information about Rakshasas? I want to know more (is this from fantasy? :noob:).

By the way, can anyone provide a detailed reference on Rakshasas? I'd like to learn more (they are from fantasy, right? :нуб:)

Here you go
In ancient Indian mythology, the Rakshasa is one of the primary classes of demons. Unlike Asuras, who are rivals to the gods, Rakshasas act as enemies of humans.
In the Vedas, Rakshasas are night monsters that hunt people and interfere with sacrifices. They either have a terrifying appearance themselves—one-eyed with multiple heads or horned—or take the form of sinister beasts and birds. In the epics and Puranas, Rakshasas are man-eating giants with long arms, fiery eyes, huge bellies, gaping mouths, and bloodstained fangs. According to the "Mahabharata," Rakshasas are descendants of Pulastya; according to other versions, they were created by Brahma to guard (hence their name) the primordial waters. In many myths, mortal humans, Gandharvas, and other semi-divine beings become Rakshasas due to curses or committed sins

Thank you. I was wondering why there were Rani and Raja... Now everything is clear: ancient Indian mythology. By the way, "Rani" is not as memorable as "Raja," so I had a hard time remembering that it was also a Raja, only in the feminine gender (or just a wife, I don't remember, or someone else =)). Well, and, accordingly, from the appearance, it is clear - a lioness and a lion.

Thanks again for the information

Of course ;) There is a remedy for constipation, but it's spelled a little differently.

I noticed a hero in the Academy who, besides riding an elephant and smoking a hookah, also has the ability to create "minor" artifacts. Does anyone know what that means?

These are fun, high wizards creating artifacts for creatures, like in WoG 3.58f.

These fun, high-spirited wizards create artwork for creatures, similar to what's found in WoG 3.58f.

And how do they create them?

And how do they do it?

They use the "Artificer" ability and a special workshop in the Academy to create minor artifacts that enhance the abilities of their troops, such as attack, health, or defense. Of course, they need resources for this...

Using the "Artificer" ability and a special workshop in the Academy, you can create small artifacts that enhance the abilities of your troops, such as attack, health, or defense. Of course, you need resources for this...

That's unfair:( Necromancers and Inferno don't need resources, but they should!

The artifacts at the Academy are very good; if you don't have resource constraints, you can easily equip a stack of several hundred Gremlins with an artifact with 3 properties, and then they will become real commandos!

Gentlemen, the Academy faction thread has become quite inactive! Are there really so few players who enjoy playing as this glorious faction? Academy members, graduate students, and others, please respond; it's not right to fall behind the others!

The topic hasn't died down; everyone is just playing the game right now. They'll come back when they're done!

Oh yes =) Academy is a very powerful and balanced race. No one has categorized it as a "cheater" race, which is also very good =) Every single unit is needed in battle, without exception. In duels with the Academy, I used to tear one person apart always, absolutely always, and with an astonishing rout. The loser decided that mages were terrible cheaters, and then started playing as mages himself. I admit, it was very hard... He chose Razzak, and he had 240 golems plus 300 gremlins + 8 titans. I played as dark elves; I don't remember the hero, he has good magic, wearing a yellow hat, someone might have him on their avatar ;) Anyway, I won EXCLUSIVELY because of irresistible magic. The golems were smashing everything in sight, and the gremlins kept repairing them, repairing, repairing. Plus the mage was casting all sorts of nonsense =) In short, I managed to cope, but with very, very great effort. Only Earth Shocks saved me =) First I took out 8 titans, then I eliminated golems 28 at a time (I had to use magic — in close combat the golems would have completely wrecked me), and that's how I won by a minimal margin. A very strong race. =)

I'll tell you frankly... it's a pity about the stools or nightstands... they were completely humiliated by their appearance; the djinns are clowns, not creatures; the rakshasas are underpowered... I don't even have words... they just don't work as creatures with such stats... in general, Nival created a humorous Academy... but it's actually quite good from a combat point of view.
