SpiresJRH The Mysterious
Love Behemoths!!
I hope they will remove stronghold and give us dwarves ;/
Behemoths! <3 That's what I'm hoping for the most.
I also want trolls back. Big, ugly trolls who throw rocks. I'd be satisfied if they were a neutral creature but were associated closely with Stronghold (but they must have adventure map dwellings and be recruitable).
I just don't want too many orcs and goblins in the line-up...
I'm hoping for some new creature too. Of course thunderbird and behemoth (and ogre magi) are nice, but i'd like to see more a desert related beast, like scorpions. Or even scorpion-rider.
Ogre magis are lame because of their shitty magic abilities
Siege cyclops for catapult definitly,and also some bloodscar shaman ladie and WYVERN! Behemoth can come if he wants to,i have no with him.
Behemoths, roc's/thunderbirds. desert related monsters would be cool! and i think gnolls would be nice ad to stronghold
I may be wrong but i think i read somewhere on HC that Roc/Thunderbird is not coming back, there is some buzz that we might get oliphants

I liked Stronghold in all Heroes games. It was fun enough. And, of course, line up made it possible with fair balance, matched with diverse mechanics and funny skills.
To me, one big flying beast must appear. That one can be Wyvern or Roc (I prefer the latter). A bulky big beast, that can be a Behemoth or a Mammoth carrying a houdah. I like harpies and centaurs (although I don't mind if they appeared as neutrals). If orcs are the race, they can come as nomads, shamans for all I care.
This is a proposition for an Earth Dragon based on Fafnir. It suits, imho, Stronghold faction in a fashion.

I like cyclops but dont like laser eye cyclops its Heroes dont star wars
I want those worms from the Movie Tremors as units lol :P. Drag the units underground for 1 turn and deals damage and then spits them out. Both units will use a turn with this.
Could everybody just stop replying to JeremiahEmos nonsense posts? His trolling gender obsession will not stop anyhow. Just leave him and his fake accounts to his fate, and hopefully developers will deal with him soon enough.
Yes, trolls deserve what is coming to them, as they only make the experienx=ce worse for others
Devs, I propose to ban users which posting political stuff, etnicity based hatred, racial discord, feminism-related topics and other stuff which is not related to this game.
true - this is a forum about a game, not about genre, real life races or stupid politics - if they want to talk about such snow, they should go cry to their psychiatrist.
Yes, because banning people for speaking their mind is what the internet is all about, or not (exept for russia, north korea and so on). I would rather urge developers to react to uphold a good climate with civil discussions and respect. Banning "political stuff"? No thank you.
@Igelkolnikov, sure, let's better exchange with a links on some porno or military invasions of united states here, on a web-site, dedicated to the fantasy series. http://nakleuki-shop.umi.ru/images/cms/data/genius.jpg
@Igelkolnikov - this is truely getting on some peoples nerves i don't care if you are American, Russian, from Mars, Jupiter or Uranus i care about your thoughts on the game, not about some political, geopolitical, genre or racial snow. And btw one more reason you should stop watching the news. Well yea maybe baning is a bit too harsh, but have soem respect to heroes fans and keep in mind not all are intersted in politics.
I agree its out of place and in the wrong forum, but banning? No. But then again, there is of course an outer limit of what can be posted. At least legally. But I'm sure that the developers are well aware of that.
You act like a ban is something outstanding similar to a killing irl. Dozens of you have few clons already so it will not be a big problem for those.
I said ban just as an example. But you should understand that you can share your thoughts about political shit on some political forums, share some sport stuff on a sport forums. Here you need to share game stuff. That's called behaviour. That was my exact point.
Yes, and on that we can agree. Let us all devote our time here to the development of a great game.
@Igelkolnikov thank you for understanding. ;)
Prohibit very bad, will as a prison.Just people write what they think about the game.Otherwise, why do we need a forum
Mirash-. Did you ever read what I just wrote? :)
About game - yes.
About putin, obama, euro, russia, porn, feminism and other unrelated stuff - no.
мурк мне по-русски пиши я половину не понимаю....я против цензуры просто -все запреты это плохо -вот
exactly, i want to read about game relayed stuff, if i want to hear about putin, obama, euro, russia, porn, feminism and other unrelated stuff, i'll go to the appropriate forum for that.
@Mirash-, мой мэсседж был о том, что не нужно здесь о политике и прочей хренотени.
мурк колись ты рома ))))хватит а
эт понятно что политики и всякие заумные тексты тут не к чему -я эти то про игру еле понимаю )) Я просто против запретов
Р хорош а я тебя вижу ))
Не пойму, почему Рома? У нас вообще таких имён практически нет...
извиняй не ты.... просто похоже говоришь )) проехали
как скажешь ...)) я всегда слушаюсь ,раз грибы вредны не буду их есть .Че я эльф чтоли)
@Sempai While I agree with you there, it would require moderators for this site and we all know they don't seem too big on that idea nor improving the site.(These levels/achievements aren't improvements to site, just superficial crap to feed some egos and keep those people coming back to site. Edit-button, proper forums, moderators and stuff like that would be real actual improvements...)
шм я больная уже )) пошла лечиться )
просто похоже говорят ))
banning is for pussies. I'd rather have free speech than walking on egg shells about hurting someone else's feelings. If you can't handle what I say, deal with it.
For once, I agree wholeheartedly with Jeremiahemo.
Unless it's actively abuse, anyone should be allowed to address or respond to what they see fit.
Don't go cheap on full rrp paying customers with game quality or content.
Also this is a full priced game, and as such 2 channel only compressed mp3 audio among other cut corners is not acceptable.
Heroes of Might and Magic 5 had surround sound in 2006.......Might and Magic Heroes 6 had stereo sound.
Message for Russian users. Please write in English, some are already fairly viewing these your bushes. If you do not speak English, please use a translator. (English with Tusk) Thank you from the mountain :D
На каком языке хотим, на таком и будем писать. Будут нам ещё всякие тут указывали как нам писать надо.
на сайте есть значки -русский язык предусмотрен .Какие проблемы ,мистер ?
ага указания тут - это не пишите то не пишите ...за собой следите , хорошо ?
@DarMior, when in Rome you do as the Romans do. This is a basic lack of manners. If you don't know English, just don't compensate for it with poison and bile. People such as you give their nations a bad name, as you do for our nation.
@Mirash, just because Jeremiah is an active user, it doesn't mean others don't watch what they post.
Exsul-Aeger да ты что ? )) моя твоя не понимай ,честно
все претензии к гугл-переводчику )))
Exsul-Aeger, you're weird. We are not in Rome, we are on the Internet. Talking about manners though itself accuse me of nonexistent sins. On this site there is no rule that everyone should speak English.
Поэтому если я хочу говорить на русском языке, я буду на нём говорить.
Дармиора имеют право замечания делать только я и Алекс . а ты
Exsul-Aeger мимо листай ок
мы же ваши тексты листаем - ахинею на 5 км полотен ,и ничего ,живы
было бы еще смысла вас переводить )) у нас своих хватает ,да даримаш ? ))
Let them speak on their own, why not? Better to write on a native than to write a rubbish with a translator.
+yep, there'r no rules here. So... anarchy! Ⓐ \w/
во во -через переводчик одна чушь ) меня 1\5 текст понимают )) я тож 2\10 понимаю
русскоговорящие так пишут мало - это просто свинство еще тут нам замечания делать
совести нет
Я б сказал, что здесь где-то 30/70 русскоговорящие и англ. А вот других языков почти нет. Польский очень редко. Чешского вообще ни разу не встречал. Украинский один раз видел. Испанский тоже несколько раз. Французов видел, но они на англ пишут все.
@DarMior, English is lingua franca in the international community, it's never been a written rule.
@Mirash, I turn a blind eye to enough of your posts as it is.
@Sempai_Mur, I'm not against speaking Russian, I'm against egomania and pissing venom.
i agree if everybody write in his own language nobody can understand it exept for the people who speak the same language. And if you write russian ubi cant understand you
(i mean i write in german neither) maybe my english is bad but everybody can understand me
(exept for some russian people who cant understand english)
Чёрт, опять палёным запахло...
Я наделась обсудить обновлённую тройку, но тут уже тема погорячее открыта.
@Kha_Duun, there's too much russian auditory therefore they more change opinions with each other than with ubi. When they address to ubi, they try to write on english. And your English is fine. That is not what you can get from the automatic translator. English and Russian have pretty different sentence-making logic so they can be translated on each other pretty crappy.
Amelisan,а что их обсуждать? На планшете- клёвые,на компе - бессмысленно, если только в планах нет сетевых баталий с друзьями.
@Sempai_Mur
thats right i tried to translate your russian messages and it was only crap (with a translator)
Не знаю, других важных новостей не было, я и думала, что все в принципе будут о ней говорить. Тут любят пожаловаться, а это ж такой повод. Но видать ругаться с иностранцами интересней.
А так-то мне лично было интересно, куда пропал автосейв. Или в оригинале но не предусмотрен?.. О_о
мурк напиши им всем по инглиш что переводчик с русского - это просто головная боль ...вообще иногда кажется что мурка добрый бывает ) местами ))
@Sempai_Mur, lots :) Though maybe egomania is not an entirely appropriate word :)
Message for English speaking users. Please write in Russian. If you do not speak Russian, please use a translator.
Потроллю евро комьюнити :D
По поводу автосейва в гер 3 - сам не помню, ,был он там или нет (мне тогда от силы лет 10 было) но разрабы решили походу все по хардкор моде делать. Не ну даже если не было автосейва - нельзя что ли было его добавить для хотя бы удобства новичков, играющих в первый раз в гер 3, но при этом игравшие в другие части - это же отпугнет некоторых игроков и создаст негативную реакцию.
@DenisBulenkov, now THAT is the right way to tell people that speaking English is bullshit :)
Exsul-Aeger, so what? If there are no rules, there is no obligation to write only in english. And write in english just because you (or someone else) want it, I will not. If I want, I can write in english. But I'm just going to communicate in russian.
Amelisan, а что обсуждать HD? Люди поумней знали и о содержании HD и о цене, поэтому либо осознано купили его, либо пропустили. Остальные сейчас плюются в steam'е и других сайтах. Я уже писал о таких: дураки, что с них взять (кроме денег :)).
Денис. Вообще в 3ке был автосейв, (не знаю как насчёт чистой RoE).
Kha_Duun, German is very rare here. My native is Chech, but Rissian I know as a native. Since there are no chech ppl, I can't communicate on my native. So have to speak rus or eng =)
Ну я про Эрафию и говорю - т.к. у меня 3 герои (там все три аддона в одном) до сих пор на компе стоят :D
DarMior Ну, видимо, да. HD и HD. Но можно было бы учинить холивар HD Edition против HD mod. Хотя и тут всё ясно: мод выиграет, потому что на полную версию ставится. Ладно, всё правильно, пойду дальше играть... :)
Кому не нравится самый лучший язык в мире может не писать здесь.
@DarMior, if there's no obligations then you shouldn't bitch about things. If people bitch then apparently there ARE obligations.
@Amelisan, в оригинале был автосэйв. Полезная фишка только когда совсем теряешь страх и забываешь сохраняться быстрым. Но я не обратил внимания, честно говоря на это. Больше сетевую тестировал и рассматривал графен)
@Mirash-, писал же перед твоим постом прямо) Добрый - это потому, что с твоим мнением в частном случае соглашаюсь?) Поздно, поздно, Мираш...меня уже не спасти. Там выше мне уже вынесли диагноз, что я - плохой)) Ступил на тёмную стороную. Назад пути нет. Т__Т
Вот он русский мир - бессмысленный и беспощадный - либо как мы, либо никак :D
Многоуважаемая Амелисан, неужто тестируете Герои 3 HD? Если да - то как ощущения?)
Смотря по какому критерию сравнивать ХД эдишн и ХД мод. ХД мод не имеет такой прорисовки, да и там, по сути, совсем другая технология использовалась. Чисто визуально ХД эдишн лучше + стим сапорт + удобная сетевая. На планшете - это вообще мечта для меня. Буду куда-то ехать - понажимаю в дороге. Жаль, нельзя с планшета в сетевую)

Ахаха) Т.е. холивар всё ещё возможен...
Без дополнений всё равно игра кажется урезанной, и это самый большой плюс мода. Большинство наверняка продолжат его использовать. В остальном HDE конечно получше будет, хотя кто-то мне на этом форуме говорил, что ему и картинка в моде больше нравится.
Exsul-Aeger )) эти называется дое....ця так дое...ца )))
i don't read the russian stuff, so i don't mind... yet if the want more attention english would be better.

I drew some creatures of the Necropolis
http://puu.sh/fgpjj/e85a665569.png
Ignore the fat Spider... I should have done it about 4 times larger and less fat
I regretted after having scanned, but then it was too late
I don't draw all over again just because of the Spider
Replaced Lamasu by a Mummy
The Skeleton I liked how the images are revealed... Only the Upg.Shield should be bigger
The Ghost I did have a most inspiring appearance in Death... Without a face and with a hood... The Champion already has a sickle, so I put a spear in his hands
Skeletal Lich! Everyone wants a Skeletal Lich!
I may not have made the best Lich version, but at least is a Skeletal Lich!
And I put a spider staff in his hand
The Vampire I done with a more cadaverous appearance
Still with hair, armor and with the huge cool sword, but now cadaverous and with claws
The Champions I did not draw because it's a lot of work and they are cool!
I would not change anything in themselves...
Cool! Though personally I would have picked a more clearly female, but "headless" design for the ghot, similar to that of the H4 ghost...
That is true, but there is to kinds of scary spiders: The really thin ones and the really fat ones...
wow, this is fantastic ! i really like the lich and vampire, good job ! :)
If reusing some h6 models in necro allowed for an extra faction to be put in the vanilla game then that is a good use of resources. This should have been explained instead saying things like, " we are very fond of h6 necro"....
Probably Erwan's directives in order to save his Spidercult bull.
Thanks for your note.
"The M&M team have been pretty busy in the last few days with the still in discussion situation of Necropolis units."
I am very glad to hear that. As I said earlier to Marzhin, I believe that the thought of reusing older models as a breather is a hinder to creativity.
On top of that, doing such has never been done before, and the H6 Necro models are plain awful, imo.
Thank you very much for your consideration and communication.
Regards, Galaad
Community time
What's your favourite faction?
That's a tough question! Haven, sylvan and sanctuary are the top three, maybe sylvan is best.
Tough question..., I like tem all.
I'd say Necropolis for its abilility (necromancy of course ;) ).
When it comes to actual battle strategy, I would say sylvan. Because I like to hurt from afar. Because, well... bravery and all that... meh.
And while Sanctuary may be my favorite, I woukd like to mention Fortress, academy and dungeon, as those also are some I quite like a lot...
Academy (H3 swamp fortress if it was here in ashan as well)
H2 - Sorceress and Wizard - followed closely by Knight
H3 - Castle and Rampart - nostalgic towards Fortress, but not that it was all that fun
H4 - Necropolis and Preserve
H5 - Academy and Stronghold
H6 - didn't bother buying the crappiest game ever made.
Haven, Necropolis, Dwarfs, Dungeon, Sylvan, Academy, Inferno, Sanctuary
I like the Dungeon but dont like dark elves sorryfanatic
Sorry,
But Urgash and his demons are just waayyy too Awesome
Heck, INFERNO :)
H5 Dungeon, H5 Necro, H5 Sylvan H6 Sanctuary
H1 - Warlock and Sorceress
H2 - Warlock and Sorceress
H3 - Fortress and Rampart
H4 - Such a bad game...
H5 - Dungeon and Sylvan
H6 - Sanctuary
All-time - H6 Sanctuary, H3 Fortress and Rampart, and H2 Warlock/H5 Dungeon
H2 - Sorceress and Wizards
H3 - Rampart and Undead (especially with that artifact set)
H4 - Undead/inferno and Warlocks (Chaos)
H5 - Undead, Inferno and Dungeon (i like Dungeon, but i actually hate them in H6)
H6 - Don't really have favorite, most mechanics in H6 for the factions sucks, especially Undead and Inferno and those are my most favorite factions of all Heroes games. Wich says everything about H6.
I REALLY miss Fortress Town, guys!
Please, developers give us FORTRESS back! Hopefully on HOMAM 8! O_o
H1 ---> I haven't played
H2 ---> I don't remember :P I must play once again
H3 ---> difficult decision - so: dungeon, castle or necro. I really don't know which I like more :P
H4 ---> I haven't played
H5 ---> one of these: necro, dungeon, academy, sylvan... hmmmm: Dungeon :D
H6 ---> stronghold (but I liked also sanctuary, dungeon and didn't like: haven, inferno, necro :P)
It's a hard choice between Sylvan/Nature/Rampart and Haven/Life/Castle. But I'll go with Sylvan, because this time we won't have griffins...
Not an "ignore" button, a "report" one.
And when you have a large number of reports, you can't post for a while.
Again, could everybody just stop replying to JeremiahEmos nonsense posts? His trolling gender obsession will not stop anyhow. Just leave him and his fake accounts to his fate, and hopefully developers will deal with him soon enough.
Agree, but it still bothers me while we don't have "ignore" button and "show/hide thread" option. 8(
@Sempai_Mur
Yes, an 'ignore' button would be nice. Could take a lot of work to implement though, so I wouldnt count on it. The developers could moderate more though.
@LightAvatarX
He accuses everyone who supports me my fake account.
I'm cool with it. It's his way of making himself feel better. :)
More moderation would be excellent. I know they're probably busy, but if they say they see our comments, why don't they do a bit more moderating while they go through it all? Bring the ban-hammer! Or at the very least, the stern-warning hammer.
@LightAvatarX
Well, if you scroll down a bit youll see that he practically admitted that the he created the user "Esther179". As one example. The secondly most up voted thread on this article, created by him, has unusually high numbers for that kind of topic as well. But thats something the developers will have to adress, if true.
@Igelkolnikov
I never saw you as a liar but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you just misinterpreted me. Can you post the exact statement that made you conclude that I'm Esther?
Female creatures ftw?!
Haven - 1, Necro - 1, Dungeon - 0.5, Academy - 1, Sylvan - 3 (?).
So where's the 'female quota' you are talking about, nerds? That's just a part of game design and your sick imagination. Visit some psychiatrist, get your brain healed.
Привет ,Мурк ! Это крик души прям ....
" Dungeon - 0.5 " - это как ? ))
I agree with you, except that I expect dungeon to have two females, one darkelf and the medusa. Just wanted to say...
UBI .you need to open a section on the forum
Problems with a woman and heroes 7))
Medic, you mean, assassin will be a fem? I doubt that but let's see.
Mirash-, salut!
0.5 - это медуза - наполовину женщина, наполовину змея. Так с чего вдруг её считать за единицу?
I except either the assassin or stalker to be female...
Exactly Mirash, they should start by posting "All gender-related discussion here ty" article on this site!
It is necessary to introduce a separate faction - female battalion ))
надо отдельную фракцию -женский батальон , вот только Ерему жаль ...
@mediczero, mb u are right. It this case dungeon will have 1.5 female creatures.
@Pux123 I think it's the trolls , talented trolls
Nitpicking the numbers of women just to prove your point?
1. Haven - 2 (Justicars, Sisters)
2. Necro - 1 so far
3. Dungeon 2 (Medusa, what medic said), Nitpicking? Your personal bias count Minotaurs if it benefits you.
4. Academy 2 (Gargoyle, Djinn), please. you would count Titans as one of the guys if it supports your argument.
5. Sylvan 2 known (Dryad, Druid)
2 female units in every faction? Necro isn't complete yet. That to me smells feminist quota. Every faction has to have at least 2.
> Academy 2 (Gargoyle)
Man, wtf is wrong with you? xD You can count wolf as a female too. Who knows, maybe it's a she-wolf. xD
P.S. Lamasu you should also count as a fem then.
You need to pay attention on this line:
>Visit some psychiatrist, get your brain healed.
No offence. You just started to act like a nuts maniac. And don't listen to any arguments. We asked you to stop posting the same crap repeatedly and you can't. I believe you are a troll because otherwise you are just sick person.
Well, Haven has 1 female unit. Sisters are not part of the main lineup so i don't think we should count them in. Now as for Academy, the real female unit is probably the Djinn since Gargoyle cannot be male or female since it is a construct. But for f***s sake let's count it as 0.5. Necropolis only has one female unit, the ghost and i doubt there will be any other female unit not even in the warfare ones. Maybe the Namtaru will be the appropriate first aid.
Jeremiah Want to talk about it? 222-22-22 ))
Jeremiah, do not be offended, but your writing on the brink .
@Sempai_Mur
I'm the one who's not listening to arguments? This is coming from a guy who just ignored everything I said about gargoyles.
And telling people what to do isn't argument.
@Articun
actually, we should count the Sisters. They are still units afterall.
And like I said. Some people would count Titans as one of the men. I would. I mean, there really was no reason to make the supposed scary gargoyles look like females.
JeremiahEmo, I didn't see any arguments about gargoile from your side. Except "you can count titans as males". The thing i don't care if they were man or women.
Your total concept is like: wow, they have at least 4 male units in each army in HOMM5 - that's really anti-women quota. This is not an argument, that is an OPINION.
And if you would stop bother other people with your OPINION, everything would be nice.
And the problem is not that your opinion is different. I can respect some other way of thinking. The problem is you cry like a 13-old girl which has been offended by her classmates.
You definately see the negative reaction for your posts from the community and you don't make any conclusions, trying to annoy as much as you can. Does it seem to you as an adequate behaviour? I don't think so.
@Sempai_Mur
No, you got it all wrong. Rob explained it to you guys like a million times. I don't want to repeat what he said. I think you'll just twist it to your own personal female-bias anyway.
Also, any creature that has the characteristics of a certain gender that is a humanoid is counted as that gender.
There really was no reason to make gargoyles female. Gargoyles are suppose to be scary, not a beauty queen. If you can give an argument for female-looking gargoyles, I'd love to hear it.
Improved ideas regarding the classes of Dungeon and Stronghold.
Dungeon:
Might balanced - Assassin
Might offense - Overlord (can be used for females too, H3 had at least one)
Might defense - Stalker
Magic balanced - Shadow Weaver
Magic offense - Sorcerer
Magic defense - Shadow Prophet
Stronghold:
Might balanced - Barbarian
Might offense - Cleaver
Might defense - Chieftain
Magic balanced - Shaman
Magic offense - Stormcaller
Magic defense - Spirit Walker
And Sanctuary:
Might balanced - Daimyo
Might offense - Samurai
Might defense - Oban
Magic balanced - Shinto (after the Japanese religion)
Magic offense - Madoru (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Neo_Aqua_Madoor)
Magic defense - Tide Master
Maybe Overlord would be better suited for 'balanced' and Assassin for offense.
For dungeon overlord should really be there, but i wonder if the other mightclasses would have the same name as units in the lineup?
Still think warlock should be the dungeon magic balance class...
@mediczero:
"Warlock" is a difficult category, because both Dungeon and Inferno are kind of fighting over it. In H3, they were Dungeon, in H6 they were Inferno. For now I place Warlock in the Inferno class, but with some shifts here and there it could go to Dungeon just as much.
@Igelkolnikov: Hm, that would be a bit confusing. Maybe...Master Stalker? Or...Shadow Assassin? You know, to spice it up a bit.
it looks bad. Very bad.
I have no problem with offense, defense, balance, might, magic as long as it's only for one faction. If that's for all factions then it becomes repetitive, unoriginal and uniformed.
It's the same as feminist quota. It is uniformed. Creativity is absolutely absent.
@Jeremiah:
Well, it's not called 'Heroes of Might AND Magic' for nothing, right? Agreed, in ToE the Stronghold Faction had only access to warcries rather than 'real' magic, but still you had the Shaman units that were capable of spellcasting. Might-only for Stronghold makes little sense. We have our Dreamwalkers, our Shamans, magic does play a part in their tribal life. Ancestral spirits, Mother Earth, Father sky etc.
As for Academy: having a magic-only hero class makes more sense, although I still believe they too can have might-oriented heroes (battlemages, if you will).
Back in H3 there was a Might and Magic class for each faction, even Stronghold. H5 killed that off by giving each faction only one type of hero, but H6 brought it back again, even with extra classes. To me, that's not a boring, repetitive feature. It's a strategic choice: what do you want your hero to be, and why?
Now i have to agree with Jemo, its boring if theres lack of diversity between faction heroes. For example Academy should have Magic heroes and kind of mixture between magic and warfare, like alchemist always were. For stronghold i would prefer Offense anti-magic heroes like H5 orcs, and shamans with some specific sort of magic that suits Mother earth Father sky idea and more adventure map skills.

So rude....
I'm a champion...
Holly crap! I just realised that i dreamed of townscreen improovements in H7! In my dream there was a townscreen's field and the main buildings' places where marked on it,and it was LOGICAL! Moreover,i knew that there will be civil buildings as well. Everything was as logic demanded it. It was beutifull! And the terraine was like if it was the necro town. And no,i'm really serious here.
Yeah, does not sound anything like H7 townscreens. Maybe H8?
Actually the markings looked like idf they where taken from the witcher 2 skilltree but the point is that i hope that i'm prophetic here.
And now you hope that you're having a nightmare seeing the illogical town-screens of h7? ;)
Logical townscreens it's something that doesn't match with H7 :(
when person named jon.collins said that he would like to see 3 females in every faction, sounds like girl-feminist or a guy-without-balls (or a gay). even sounds like he have never played homm, but just now looked at it (and came with the reason to ruin this game with his nonsense-offers to make this game a garbage-game by saying that he is 'concerned' about things which not even fit here, just by forcing it) or tried older parts of game like any dickhead could do (this part is not important).
disgusts me to read this kind of nonsenses. if u want equality by being same number of males and females in game, then go play games like 'diablo 3' or 'guild wars 2', coz any character u would choose to play will give u possibility to choose your gender and appearance. take a game like 'total war attila' (for example), about old times wars where only males fight.. get seven soldiers on your side and make 3 of them to be females and so its like "equality" in game of war he wants
(4 males and 3 females ready for battle). take the game like homm, which is not only old times wars, but fantasy, coz of mythological creatures, animals and magic in same place.. make 3 females in every faction and in every '7 units lineup' u will have 3 females and 4 animals (or mythological creatures) and its the best way to ruin this game, coz u must have all of them in your line - u cant choose their gender or appearance.
in game like homm: female in faction must be originally known as mythological character, like medusa, banshee or succubus (a feminist who came back from hell to take revenge against other feminists who told her that its a good way to live) and then must fit for special faction. if u want feel like female in homm, u have a possibility to choose your hero (who is leading your army) by playing random map.
and after this kind of posts mediczero fall down from sky like angel revealing herself as feminist or little girl which wondering why in war of tanks and soldiers they r not shooting pink clouds from their hands or why they all dont have butterfly's wings and she would like to see more pink ponys there, by saying: 'it would feel more fantasy to me..' i would say it would be over-fantasied into trash. and ofc all feminists upvoting posts like these.
im not against females as themself, im against people who have some kind of inner/personality/psychological problems, or opinions, or some kind of ideas or images they could use by "mistake". for example: after h5 introducing cartoon-trailer before release, i was exited as a boy that i will get cool-looking (male) angel warrior with sword and armor in new styles and graphics ready for battle.
but after release i was just 'slightly surprised' that they made it female, coz when i saw that they used and created the image of kind, warm and loving (good) female/person (with white short hair), i thought that at least they know what they r doing and i liked that image (it fits and it could be angel). sanctuary as 'new thing' was interesting for me to try, but i was naturally bored quickly of '3 female units and animalheaded-animal' faction.
i would say, as for asian-water theme snow maiden should stay, 'water girl' must be replaced by 'strong-looking male creature made of water' like oceanus or poseidon (for example) and coral priestess replaced by samurai warrior or stay as last possible female unit (but i prefer to be replaced. if stay - sharkman must be replaced by samurai warrior). its like sanctuary was created just to look beautiful and attract more girls.
if u want to create a faction which would attract more girls to play, make 'amazons', maybe it would be interesting even for me to try the faction which is personalized with female warriors (if made well). but i was never a fan to play with female units in games like 'lineage 2', 'diablo 3' or 'guild wars 2' since im boy myself, same here.
Hey there, Jeremiah :)
P.S. particularly agree. Simple number without a purpose shouldn't be a reason to implement female characters. But honestly, I don't see such stuff here: look at the dungeon: there were 2 delightful fem units, they are gone. Medusa is not a female completely. More beast/creature. Necropolis minus one ugly namtaru. Only elves druid and djinn turned into a females as for now. I bet they made fem druids just to troll JeremiahEmo lol
@Senpai, ur saying a female unit has to be human or else it doesnt count? Lol
The djin looks good as a female version, the druid needs to be the female version of the H5 druid! Dont make ugly druids! -_-
@denisa016: personally i dont like h7's djinn, i prefer it to be male or at least image of different female. but i have nothing against h7's druid, ofc i would better have h5's druid, but im fine with it. a bit different opinion, but its ok
So... you didn't like dungeon in HOMM5? Kinda funny, seeing as how dark elves have a Matriarchal society... Actually, the use of males was accurate in that they were used for common soldiers and cavalry because they were the most likely to get killed. Also, please look up japanese/chinese/asian mythology. The use of female "beings" is quite common. And although I think the sharkmen were a weird unit, they were good fodder.
Actually, society of Dak Elves is NOT matriarchal - H5 Dungeon was Nival's "artictic vision" and now considered non-canonical. In H6 majority of their campaign charasters (including all of clanlords) are male, with only a one scene assassin and a lowbirth guerilla warrior been female.
I hope they don't consider Nival's gothic necropolis non-canonical. Everything in H6 was bad, and it came after H5, bending its artistic visions. Why can't they just call its artistic visions non-canonical?
In my opinion, female humans (or elves) shouldn't usually be frontline soldiers. Do you see that in real life? Almost never, they usually work as "healers" or scouts, if at all. Besides this is a medieval fantasy.
I mostly agree with everything you said Opensky. I usually don't read posts like these because it's too long but you captured my interest. Good job.
Anyway, my problem with female units is that Ubi seems like they're bending unit's genders just for the sake of doing it. Making at least 2 creatures per faction female is almost like you're after a quota. A feminist quota.
H5 was really artistic. Nival focused on creativity. Unlike H6, they didn't have a gender quota to reach.
@Opensky321 From my point of view, many players (male) plays the female characters, because they like to look at women's bodies... especially when they are very scantily clad. I do not like female figures (human). I can not imagine how a woman (even trained) can defeat the warrior who is much stronger, etc.
There are historical exceptions where a woman was top and led armies. Celts, Vikings - a lot of warriors (women), Joan of Arc...
Returning to the games: >>
>> I have nothing against female creatures / fantasy characters. Nymphs, dryads, collusion, lichen, witches, mermaids, healer (magicians), banshee, amazones ... it's not a lot of them, but they are the perfect profession for women.
I am a girl, and it's not that I like to play female characters (in games type Diablo, of course). When I see a slim girl with a hammer two times greater than herself and dressed in a miniature breastplate, I immediately say "no!" and choose a male character. >>
>> As I said, unfortunately, in most games, female characters are made to give a "feast for the eyes".
I see no problem in HMM. Female characters (human and fantasy) are nicely done, don't have absurd costumes and items (with the tiny exception - dark elves in HMM 5 - but why not? They fit). >>
>> Do I want more women in HM 7? Yes, if I could choose between female and male verion (for example: woman archer / man archer).
Some creatures shouldn't be allowed gender choices - for example, the Shadow Witch in HMM5. Do you see this character in the male issue? I do not!

What creatures do you hope get in Stronghold? I'm hoping for at least Ogre/Ogre-Magi and Behemoths!
