Academy looks
This is the town that has the two worst looking creatures in the game:The juke box and the small headed handling.That coupled with leaning titans of pizza,stuffed gremlins and naga clones aka transvestites.So Im nominating academy for the worst looking town ever award.
Re: Academy looks
True they aren't very lively, especially in comparison to Gargoyles from other Heroes games. I think they could stay in that form, but for instance when attacking they should transform into something more aggressive...DaemianLucifer wrote:This is the town that has the two worst looking creatures in the game:The juke box
I like those units. They remind me of Trows from Myth: The Fallen Lords. And their attack is awsome!DaemianLucifer wrote: That coupled with leaning titans of pizza
Hey leave my favourite Academy units alone! Rakshassa Raja is one of the best looking units in the game. And I don't think they are transvestites. I think the mechanism works like that: there is a mage, and he summons a Rakshassa from her plane. Then the mage gets a promotion, and now with bigger funds and knowledge he is able to summon a stronger being in the place of the she-cat: the Raja. It is not a traditional type of an upgrade when an old unit gets better equipment/training. In this case one unit is replaced with another one. And there are a lot of many-handed beasts in fantasy worlds. Naga in hinduism is a divine serpent with many heads, not a woman with a serpent body and many arms...DaemianLucifer wrote: naga clones aka transvestites.

I agree for this reason:

Careful.That sentence is very sexist,and you mighy just find out how strong the gentle sex can becomedragonn wrote:Then the mage gets a promotion, and now with bigger funds and knowledge he is able to summon a stronger being in the place of the she-cat: the Raja.
Its as good as the rest
I like this town but agree completely in that the gargoyles should be more flexible when moving attacking then turn back to "jukebox". The djinn should have a bigger head and smaller hands, is that so freaking hard to see for nival and ubi? I guess so. And if its possible please change some creatures looks, animations and names in an expansion!

Of course I didn't mean to offense anyone, I meant the statistics Mutare was the Dragon Queen, Kathrine was the queen of the Griffin Kingdom, thus I don't argue with the fact that our ladies can really become strongDaemianLucifer wrote:Careful.That sentence is very sexist,and you mighy just find out how strong the gentle sex can becomedragonn wrote:Then the mage gets a promotion, and now with bigger funds and knowledge he is able to summon a stronger being in the place of the she-cat: the Raja.

Man, Wizard/Tower/Academy was always my favorite faction... but now...
Still I can't decide if it's really worse that all the other towns... maybe after I check out the Dungeon and Academy ingame. The B.Dragon and the E.Dragon don't seem to look very good either...

No, they're actualy an effigy to Duke Nukem. I guess the Wizards worship him instead of the Dragon-Gods. They just forgot the sunglasses.

Re: Academy looks
I only said they remind me of them...I remember those pieces of their victims flying around the whole map. I wonder how H5 would like if units ended up this way after fatal attacks. Well, the game would probably get an M category...DaemianLucifer wrote:Oh come on!Trows are awsome!And these titans look just so...schwartzenegerydragonn wrote:I like those units.

Yeah, Titans really look like Duke! The looks in the concept art was much better, I wonder why they changed it. Do you remember the dark greyish angry looking Titan art? Now it's as if it looks down on others Funny.
I kinda like the Gargoyles. At least I'm not bothered.
As of Djinn, yeah, there is a more than a bit of exaggeration. But that's what we see throughout the game. So I'm not bothered still.
I had higher expectations of the Titans, especially after seeing the art. By the way, does anyone have the url for that?

I believe in science and that science can explain everything.

I like the new Academy creatures' look. I know Gargs are controversial, but IMHO they fit the Academy at least, while the previous ones were better for Dungeon/Warlocks. Rakshasa Raja and Titan are two of the greatest-looking units in the game, right after Wights and Wrights, who are the leaders here. Djinn is cool either.
In my case it has always been like with ThunderTitan's: this faction has always been my favourite. Now, I still like it very much, but probably the new "leader" will be Necropolis, leaving Academy as the runner-up. Those Wrights are just so cool!

Oh, I also have the town as my desktop background, sans creatures though, just the in-town artwork, which is beautifully done.
The only creature the looks of which I really like would be the mage/archmage. Now, the rest I can probably force myself to get on board with, but not the djinn. Oh my, no. To this day, I believe that must be some cosmic joke I've not been let in on.
