H2 looks like a middle-aged man suffering from male pattern baldness. It seems he lifts weights to vent his frustration and psychological trauma about his bare scalp.

H3 looks like it's made of clay. It also looks like he's naked behind that rock he's holding, but I can't really complain judging by the crap all the other cyclopes are wearing. Nice mohawk though. ;)

H4 appears as the most modestly dressed cyclopes. The Barbarians in H4 have developed a very strong set of Victorian ideals. But the cloths look very unnatural for it. Give it an extra eye, and it could pass for any other unit. I wonder if that means that pirates who wear eye patches could pass for a cyclopes? :|

So I vote for H1 because it's the only one that appears inhuman, despite the fact that it looks as dumb as the rock that H3 is carrying.

H2 for me .... H1 just suffers from some elephantitis of the head and looks plain ridiculous, H3 ... meh and h4 was close but no cigar

If I could recast my vote, I would and I'd vote for H2, but I voted for H4 instead. Ah well.

Voted for Heroes I Cyclops for the mean & ugly look but I also like the Heroes 4 Cyclops for his sensitive, human side. :-D

Voted Cyclops from HIV. I just say it, this is the best cyclops I have seen in any Homm game (but just as cool as the less intelligent DM counter part :P) It looks very detailed, tall and barbaric enough to be a humanoid with one eye, better not poking him there or you will you get a rock through your mouth :devious:

I went for Heroes 4. Rock throwing cyclops is cool, nothing beats the idea of chucking huge boulders at the enemy, them smashing like pottery and slicing through enemy units.

The cyclops in Heroes 4, have become assosiated in my mind with power, extreme destructive power.
Working on tracking the locations of Heroes IV battles. Stage 6 of campaign map finished, all initial Heroes IV campaigns mapped.

h3 cyclops king, the rock throwing is awesome, and I like him better bald than with the hair that the h3 cyclops has.

The H2 Cyclop does it for me.
I don't like the rock-throwing ones.

Since the thread was resurrected I have a chance to read your comments from early 2006. You are no longer my preferred fortune teller of future events :(
