The Heroes Round Table

I don't disagree, I am just trying to reason why developers would thing it wouldn't be such a good idea since griffins are kinda iconic in M&M universe. IIRC, though, you are right, since Catherine Ironfist is seen riding one in H3. However she is a queen, isn't she? I am quite sure also that MM...

@vicheron:



Probably because it will reduce the griffin to a hoss and it will have no sense for it to be a unit on its own, much like there are no horses fighting (well, except for unicorns and the like but these never had riders).

Wow, their heads are half the size of their palms. I guess they don't do much thinking.

Mine too.

No, the concept belongs to Hesiod, 300 years before Socrates. And "Daimon" means "all-knowing". Later it came to mean supernatural.

No, Titans were never described as Gods. Gaia and Ouranos were neither Gods nor Titans themselves. They were demons. Demons were the first beings to exist and have nothing to do with evil in Greek mythology. Death, Victory, Chaos, Night, Eros (Love), Eris, Nemesis... they were all demons. The Gods w...

You cannot really compare static figures with animated graphics. Plus I don't bother to call it stealing; I've said "drew inspiration". And even if a comparison could hold true for Blizzard's games to Games Workshops' figures, it's completely out of the point; which is: why copy a style fr...

I am not talking about originality of concept, I am talking about the style being almost identical. Just have a look at these two teaser trailers (H6 and Wow) and you 'll see...

Titans weren't gods in mythology. They were the children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (sky) and they had god-like powers but were more resemblant of elementals than anything else. Gremlins aren't sabotaging airplanes because there are non in HoMM, The basilisk story is also a bit confusing. That's bec...

Well, both this and the demon from the teaser, look like Balrog. And all three look like Diablo. It is clear to me that H6 developers drew inspiration from Blizzard games. Look at the howl of the demon in the teaser. Look at how it matches the howl of the Infernal in WOW's intro. It's exactly the sa...

A) why does the upgrade has the same sword?

Didn't they have better swords for better ranks?

B) I guess angels don't really need much brain

but they do need boobs bigger than their heads.

You are right. Though they can explain their existence with events that they place to occur on these different settings/realms. These can be just events or whole maps. But I understand the complications and implications of introducing non-generic units.

Here's your explanation: they retired after the events of Heroes VI, which come before those of H5.

While I totally respect your view, Milla, I'm quite sure that the original Heroes fascination had a lot to do with the fact that NWC mostly took creatures from Tolkienesque fantasy and mythology. More like ancient Greek mythology (25% in H3) + other mythological beasts. Take H3 Tower, for example. G...

Yes, they've said the game has bosses as an addition.

Perhaps to guard specific quest areas. Looks like W3 to me...

This neon-glow creature doesn't feel like a haven unit to me. More like a bar-woman in a pub fetish night. Oh, here it goes! Let us have the Pub faction, pleeeease!

This faction starts to feel less like Heroes' necro and more like Warcraft's scourge. Were the designers confused as to which game are they designing for? And, seriously, what is the bloody matter with all the spikes? It looks kitsch and overused as a practice.

And what is the matter with the spikes? Where did the roundedness go?

Perhaps the clothes died too.

At least this unit has the right proportions.
