If I can enlist some people with good imagination, a positive attitude, and a sense of humor..I have something in mind. The threads I had about spells, artifacts, towns, ect have pretty much died. They were meant for people to showcase there imagination, but sadly nobody seemed interested. So coming soon to campfire (with enough people enlisted) I would like to propose some creativity. New creatures, or old creatures made better. New spells, or improve the old ones. Interesting new artifacts or twists on older ones. This should be a group effort by fans, and not about 1 persons dreams. If interested please PM me. If I get at least 4 individuals who are commited to this project it will start soon.

Slimaralalallion
:D , nice

as for the whole D&D thing, yeah, it did codify most of the fantasy lore, and for that reason alone it will be the repository of information for most people, even if the origins of said creature, spell, item comes from some other place

I don't want to argue about personal taste, but just add mine: I dislike piggish orcs as well as green ones. The orcs in HOMM1 were the best ones so far, even though they were a bit corpulent ;). But the best orcs I have ever seen in a game are those from Dark Messiah. They are red, which corresponds to their history as being created from men and demons. I hope that, if they're going to be included in HOMM5, they will look similar.

IMHO the H1 Orc looks pigish....


And how aren't LotR Orcs human-like?

In Silmarillian, Tolkien didn't mention the appearance of Orcs. The only thing remotely relating their appearance is that they are the polar opposite of the firstborn, i.e. Elf, in every aspect of the characteristics. Elves were similar in statue to men, but elves are wiser, more beautiful, more skillful, and free of illness. Of course, elves are immortal, so are orcs.

Can you say "never confirmed"?

You all seem to forget that the Sillmarilion wasn't a finished work, and that his son edited it and sometimes finished stuff. My fav ideea was the "from animals" one. With maybe some elf and human blood in the mix. Lets give Morgoth some credit in inventivity.

Erm I thought in the Silmarillion orcs were created from elves that were enslaved by Melkor.

It's the prevalent myth about their origin in the Silmarillion, but it's not definitive. And it's mostly presented as a "maybe". At least that's what i recall. There are definatly other versions. And Morgoth is just another name for Melkor.

Never would I forget that! ;)

That's right. We don't know whether that was the definite version he had in mind in his last years or a rejected one.

Yes it is,because that one at least had character development.

As for who hired him,I think ubi is the response.

Oh, for crying out loud, he only made the change after he decided only Eru could give life, so it was more of a placeholder. And as i recal the way it's told is meant to make it seem like a myth, not a certain thing...

I definitely think most of the units in this game need more abilities in general. A lot of the units have very plain jane abilities imo. So I wouldn't mind to see your list of unit changes added to the current roster.

You sure you've been playing the same games?!
I said initial , meaning the resauration of heratia, with catherin griffonhoeurt or something like that, then yes, the story was boring...
Shadow of death was good, but trying to that was not my point.

I think so that units needs some more abilities, one that I love is strike first, give that o genies, to make them stronger...
or change the way fling work , because teleporting units get no advantage out of it .[/quote]

H3 story is a great one. Shadow of Death could have been a good story if it didn't have a lot of holes.

And what a hell does the story have to do with the fact that the story was better just if it was made before?
I am back and ready to... ready to... post things.
