Heroes VII : New song and screenshot for sylvans

Unread postby Aemaeth » 17 Sep 2014, 19:41

Two days ago, Might & Magic's team published a news sample song, edited by Paul Romero and Rob King. This song is actually The Elven Coronation, a huge event for sylvans faction. You will discover a theme very different that you were used to, with more Arabic ambiance.



In addition, a nice wallpaper was published on the website, and you can discover sylvan environment and a green knight.



<i>SOME PRESENTS TO CELEBRATE THE ELVES' VICTORY!



The Elves are now part of Might & Magic Heroes VII, and to celebrate their victory, we wanted to offer you some presents to thank you for your participation in this decisive vote!



For the first time, discover the Sylvan Faction Theme "The Elven Coronation", another masterpiece from our talented composers, Paul Romero and Rob King.</i>

Note that the lyrics are in Greek. It's not easy to discern them, though and I think Karin's R is less rhotic than it should, unless I am mistaken about the words she sings.

The intro and ending was fitting sylvan and nature, but that connection kind of fell apart in between. I wonder what it would sound like with different flutes.

I would prefer that all the town themes have opera or at least vocals throughout the song. Overall, I don't think it's that great.

The music is beautiful although I don't know if it's having enough heroish and elfish feel but it could be. Overall, style of town screen (mostly) will decide.



Myself I would imagine a different theme, more expressing silent and strong nature of the elves. There, it reminds bit of anime style. Different but not original.

The beginning, although rather touching, wasn't something I felt elvish, in any sense; it brought me a depressive feel, nothing to do with peace or anything. I was then expecting some irish ballad. Instruments used feel a bit far from the elvish feel I liked to hear, although I liked the song in general (given that I like those kind of songs myself). The ending was the most elvish thing in my opinion. Even the Gladiator'ssong theme would fit in comparison to this one, imho.

Now that looks about 96% like a "Disciples" Elf.

Sorry, but that is not true. I played Disciples 2 few days ago, with Elven Alliance, and H7 Sylvan looks so far nothing like Elves from Disciples.
H7 Elves don't have ears, which they could use to flying :P, they don't have griffins, centaurs and their Treants are suppose to be huge line-up unit, not average size summoned units. Not to mention that Sylvan theme is spring/summer/green color, not autumn/orange.

Ahh, but Disciples 3 is not a Disciples game. ;)
