H4 is pretty good. Here is one, though this is h4 variation which don't make it into game. But it differ only very little from the final one.

The second one is h3/mm7 genie and last one is h4 final, choose what you like the most :D

Voted for H3 normal genie, but I like the MM7 variation even better. :D

H4 definitely. She looks sooo good and though she's very similar to the H2 one I like the H4 genie better because the colours go better together and the edges have been sharpened :-D

H5 genie is, as mentioned so many times before, incomplete and a joke. The huge hands and lack of head seem ridiculous :disagree:
Besides I enjoy the fact that the genie in H4 was female and an a**-kicking one as well :D

Again, H2 wins my vote. Don't know why, but it looks more like a genie.

Don't believe it. They sent a pack of mintoaurs after me, and not the crappy H5 slave ones, they were viscious H3 minotaurs with a lust for blood. This whole thread is really just a ploy to lure out H5 djinn lovers and punish them. Run for your life while you still can! 8|

You really should fear the H5 ones. Sure they're not great warriors like the H3 ones, but they are used to jail life, so the things they might to to you aren't very pretty either. :devil:

I like the mystical markings all over it's body, I like how it is covered in jewels, and I like it's arabic style clothing and sword. The strange hat could be improved to show it's face a little more, but I don't mind the large hands because it makes it look less human and more like a spiritual being. If the in-game one looked like the high-def model, then I think the djinn is one of the best looking units in the H5 game. It's one of the very few H5 monsters that I actually like.

And is that blue furry thing coming out of it's hat supposed to be his hair, or is that part of the hat?
I feel exactly the same. The other genies look like blue people with turbans and gas legs. I find such art so boring. Too many human features on simply too many creatures.

I remember the naga being a blue woman with 4 arms and a snake torso. Period. Absolutely nothing special. No hybridization it was literally almost copy pasted on by the artist. That is just lazy imo.

I can imagine a werewolf unit made by 3do. Grab a person, make him hairy, put a wolf head on him. Oh yeah lets not forget to elongate the nails into black points.

Do something fun with it like this guy did(http://www.ilmondodielena.it/tendress/l ... olf-11.jpg).

I'm not saying the current genie is great. The lack of a head is rather wierd to be honest but the rest of him is pretty sweet looking imo.

It had 6 arms. And it looked great. Keep Yuan-Ti and Serpentfolk in D&D pls. And used-to-be-elves Nagas in WC.

They're all good, except the H5 genie which is tacky to the umpteenth degree.

The H3 genie is somewhat too blurry.

The H1 version is pretty original being the only one who flies around on a magic carpet.

That said, I'm gonna go with #2.

Master Genie for me, he looks just like a Djinn/Genie should look like. Havent it been for the ridiculous small head and the king size hands of the Djinns I surely would pick them instead! Each time I see a wicked creature its tempting to ask why not start a petition to make certain creatures look better (gargoyles, djinns, treants, emerald dragons)??

Heroes I was the most similar to my conception of genie. Although the other heroes until Heroes IV were similar to each other, H2 loses for being out of a glass-like souvenir.

Heroes 5 is cool - but too much cool, trying to be the badass. So, it seems lost in the concept of it.

I'm going with H2 here [also].

H1 doesn't look supernatural enough. H3 & H4 look too derivative of H2. I don't care for the huge hands / no neck / no head of the H5 version.
