HM:) I watched a video report by CRI, dedicated to this topic. Nival solemnly assures that "half-races will be equal! But they will differ in their application!" What could that mean?
"Мы не герои. Мы сильны. Мы упрямы. Мы стараемся соблюдать условия контракта. Но мы не умираем за проигравших." Костоправ

Some will be designed to be beaten, and others to do the beating...:smile25:

There's a matriarchy there. Women rule there, not some "love priestesses." :)
...and the developers at Nival are, of course, men... And that's why a "serious" matriarchy doesn't appeal to them. It's more fun to make girls with a seashell covering "That Very Place":D, a platform, and tights in the style of "Sir, would you like to keep me company? 50 bucks an hour, I have a certificate from the STD clinic...":smile43: But it's interesting, why don't the male bosses in castles with a patriarchy wear leather thongs like strippers? :confused: Or... I imagine an upgraded swordsman::smile52: http://www.photosight.ru/viewpicwindow.php?photoid=1970156

Nival solemnly assures us that "half-races will be equal! But they will differ in their application!" What could that mean?
Apparently, the idea is that the strength of half-races will be roughly equal on average. And one or another variant of the hero will be better suited for specific tasks, such as battles against certain forces or castles. Or some will be easier to defend with, while others will be better for attacking, etc. Just like in the fourth game: mages are good, but when playing against the undead, you definitely use golems.
and the developers at Nival are, of course, men... And that's why a "serious" matriarchy doesn't appeal to them.
Or maybe it doesn't appeal to them because no one knows what a "serious" matriarchy looks like, since it hasn't existed in human history?
like, "Hey, buddy, wanna hang out? 50 bucks an hour, I have a certificate from the STD clinic."
Girls, like in the pictures, for 50 bucks... PLEASE, tell me where you saw them.
Or, for example... I imagine an improved swordsman.
But where's the sword??? Although with such little hands, a sword is definitely not needed, unless it's a toy one. Just wave it slightly and say: "Go away, you nasty thing."

Yeah, first elves, then dark elves, now demons, some kind of representation of sexual minorities :D Poor demons, it feels like they just came out of an inquisitors' concentration camp and had their skin peeled off, and the imp looks very much like a sculpture. P.s. and why don't demons have "demonicism" in their characteristics?
Or maybe it's not appealing because no one knows what a "serious" matriarchy looks like, since it hasn't existed in human history?
Actually, matriarchy did exist in human history. Among the Scythians, Sarmatians, and Cimmerians, who later became, among other things, Slavs! So, we have a fear of women in our blood :D
It's just that the artists who drew these elven mistresses decided to embody their erotic fantasies in the game. And they used their favorite thematic pictures of girls from BDSM resources as a model ;)

Only they turned out vulgar; now, those Shadow Matriarchs—a regular level 6 Dungeon upgrade—turned out much better: basically my top witches 8) 1. upgrade 2 standard 3 alt. upgrade basically Eliya is the best of all It's a pity that all alt. upgrades turn out so poorly It's a pity they turned demons into emo-demons, both in worldview and appearance

So, you've taken the developers and analyzed them through the lens of Freud. Although, for the sake of increasing sales, they should embody the fantasies (and not just erotic ones) of potential buyers, that is, ours.

On "Slavic" lands, there was a cult of the earth, which is traditionally associated with the feminine principle. At some points, it was dominant, and its "priestesses" were revered. But women never held leadership positions in the state (tribe). It's unlikely that this can be called a matriarchy.
P.S. Cimmeria is Crimea and the coast of Ukraine. The Sarmatians are the Ukrainian steppe. During the time of the Slavs, quite different people lived there than the Eastern Slavs.
The Scythians, yes, that's relevant, but it's still the territory of Ukraine. You're getting a somewhat one-sided view of Slavic history
P.S. Cimmeria is Crimea and the Ukrainian coast. Sarmatians inhabited the Ukrainian steppes. During the Slavic period, it wasn't inhabited by Eastern Slavs. The Scythians fit the theme, but it's still Ukrainian territory. Your history of the Slavs seems somewhat one-sided.
Exactly... that's what UKRAINE used to be... :smile03: Not what it is now... :smile17:

If you are a heterosexual man, how should your fantasies differ from the fantasies of the developers? In general, most men see Dark Elf females like this: older units – as the owner of a brothel, younger units – as ordinary workers in that brothel... only also in the image of "make me a warrior, baby!" Magnus, at least you also found the Mistresses from the upgrade vulgar... it's a relief.:smile20: By the way, I hope they at least teach them how to walk in heels. Because the Mistresses look more or less confident only when standing still. When they try to move, they resemble a schoolgirl learning to walk in her first "adult" shoes: they wobble, so to speak!:smile08: So, about the image of a real Mistress, Hostess, or simply Owner... A woman in a long, straight, dark dress with a high collar, long sleeves, and neatly styled hair would look impressive.;) After all, she should be a Mistress, a representative of the highest authority in the Elven Community, and not some succubus whose only purpose in life is to seduce a man - and that's all.

Maybe it's not attractive because no one knows what a "serious" matriarchy looks like, because it hasn't existed in human history?
You can argue about this with AlexeyPank, he is a historian. And matriarchy still exists in some tribes, as far as I know... but this has nothing to do with HoMM V. And don't confuse real history with a fictional world. The matriarchal Community of Dark Elves may be far from reality, but it was created that way, and its descriptions, which are quite detailed, exist. We should focus on them, and not on BDSM resources.
Real BDSM practitioners, by the way, don't practice all this latex and leather... they are not fetishists, so they don't depend on the form of clothing. (offtopic, sorry :smile41:)
No, those stockings are definitely awful. But I see her more in armor than in a revealing dress. If we're going by Salvatore's lore, dark elves were also skilled blacksmiths who loved beautiful magical armor and swords. And a half-naked unit of level 6, protected better than assassins in chainmail, looks ridiculous. You could just as easily put paladins in simple robes.
Offtopic 1: Didn't the Slavs live on the territory of Ukraine? There was no Ukraine, nor Yushchenko or Tymoshenko. There was Kievan Rus'.
Offtopic 2:
Many consider a fetish to be an essential attribute of BDSM. So it's hard to argue about that.
P.S. Slonysh, children read this forum! Don't make them read disputes between perverts.

Slonysh +1 Perhaps it's because they are swaying from side to side - hair in the back, bust in the front, which is larger than Pamela's, this is very noticeable when they cast a spell and you can see them from above, and it's not very practical to wear heels in a dungeon. I was amused by how these creatures run around the battlefield in heels without breaking their legs? What if there's an uneven surface there? That's why the Mistresses walk slowly and wobble because of the imbalance, and with such heels,

If you are a heterosexual man, then how should your fantasies differ from those of the developers?Indeed, can the fantasies of one heterosexual man really differ from those of another? After all, all men are THE SAME, everyone likes THE SAME women and they all want THE SAME THING :smile51: And how difficult it must be to live in such a world for sweet, smart, intelligent, sensitive, yet still so DIFFERENT girls... Magnus, at least you also considered the Mistresses from the alt-upgrade vulgar... balm for the soul.I don't recall writing that I liked the Mistresses' alt-upgrade. I simply don't consider their tights to be vulgar in and of themselves. In my opinion, the original Mistresses were more successful and beautiful
Yeah, first elves, then dark elves, now demons, some kind of representation of sexual minorities :D Poor demons, it feels like they just came out of an inquisitors' concentration camp and their skin was peeled off, and the imp looks very much like a sculpture. P.S. and why don't demons have demonism in their characteristics?
There were no demons. And there are no concentration camps as such....))) But we would gladly welcome the developers to our humble haven:smile10: P.S. it's scary to even think about what will happen to the Necropolis((
В общем есть еще причины для оптимизма, как говорил умирающий от ран эльф при виде плывущего по реке трупа орка.

Buddy, so what did you say about the developers, that Fireball

:smile08: You yourself are confused. Given that the Earth's population is more than 6.5 billion people, and men make up less than half of the population... well, let's say only 3 billion!:smile01: And the poor Nival developers have to embody 3 billion different fantasies?!:smile52: We have to admit that only some approximate male fantasies can be embodied. :smile01:
And may God strike me down if I continue this idiotic off-topic in the thread about the expansion. :smile29: You can continue your self-affirmation on the topic of male superiority over women in proud solitude.:smile29:
