Let's discuss the rumors in Heroes V, translated by "Personal Socrates"? Because I find the inconsistencies and inappropriate translations of creature names, skills, buildings, etc., very amusing. Here are three rumors to start with:
Gargoyles are the best troops to use against enemy archers and magic-using units. First, they can launch themselves, and quite a distance, second, they are extremely tough, and third, they are very resistant to all kinds of magic. Of course, with abilities like these, they will be most effective behind enemy lines, where doomed troops are trying to take cover!
The Dragon Tomb is the ultimate development in the Necropolis, the final goal to strive for. Bone and Shadow Dragons are powerful troops in the undead army, and if the Necromancer invests in building just one of them, they get another Dragon every week! So in two weeks, you get two more Dragons, in a month, four more, in a year... Hmm... How many would that be, eh?!
Demon Lords often surprise their enemies. Some of them, called to be heroes, apparently only recently, quickly become experienced commanders. Why? I'll tell you: that's what the Sacrificial Mines in Demon cities are for. Of course, you'll be better off sacrificing other creatures – they're not very useful in combat, and it's a shame to lose your own, isn't it? But if the need is really great, you can sacrifice your own creatures too. Not a big loss anyway – you can always hire some more!
