(what else - Titans are so dull, plus the mages are by default male, so none of its troops should look as if they're in need of a brassiere),

well, they could be made so it looks like they need an athletic supporter intead.

...just to be fair.

DARK elves.

they don't call 'em that for no reason.

definetly some geographic isolation leading to differences in race there.

My point exactly. Both Light and Dark Elves each dot a town. Why don't the Yellow and Black Humans get one?! Why only the White Humans?

not a bad idea; like the Southron race from LOR?

A DRAKE it is

Hard to choose but I'll go for the Magma DraKE!

BTW can any modder make a mod for HoF to replace the Fire Dragon, Magma Dragon names with Fire Drake and Magma Drake??? Its quite annoying those faulty mistakes IMO

Second goes for Berserker and its upg

put a request in the modcrafting guild, as that's an easy one.

Orfinn · Unread postby **Orfinn** » 27 Nov 2006, 23:30

BTW the Giant Dwarves, were previous normal dwarves but got enhanced with magic or something, cant remember where I read it but it was something like that....I think

I had a point?

And what's the deal with the Heroes?! Even the academy ones only have a tan. Only Faiz seems not to be white, and you can only see his eyes. Even the Dark Elves are bloody white.

Well they needed a reason for all those races to fight each other.And what better reason than skin colour?

and it makes sence their white, you can't get a nice color from the sun if you undeground all the time

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 28 Nov 2006, 19:07

Yeah,but theyre not white,their black.Which is weird when you think about it.Like you said,no sun should make them completelly white,not just their hair.Damn those dumb drows.

actually, you can address your scorn to the guy who decided to flesh them out:

RA Salvatore.

If you like drow, you should read some of his DnD books.

think "Drizzt"

There isn't any official definition of what a dragon is and what a drake is. Those are just names. And dragons in Germanic folklore don't necessarily have wings.

BTW, I would have preferred the name Salamander.

@ ThunderTitan: Yeah, down with racism in fantasy games. Let's make them political correct! ... -.-

And they're called Wyrms.... (it comes from gernam, right? some nordic language anyway)

Correction:There wasnt.But modern RPG games,both P&P and computer ones made some distinction between the names.

The H5 "Dark" elves are lightskinned. Have to give credit to Ubisoft for that at least (though MM8's Dark Elves wasn't "dark" either, more like "tanned")

Oh yeah...Whoops

It really was a while then...Must have mixed with the drow again...

It comes from Old English wyrm (worm in today's language) and means "snake". The German word Wurm (meaning "worm") is related to it.

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 28 Nov 2006, 22:54

And where do you think Dragon comes from?! From the latin of snake.

As for Wyrm:

The word for dragon in Germanic mythology and its descendants is worm (Old English: wyrm, Old High German: wurm, Old Norse: ormr), meaning snake or serpent.
