I picked the H5 standard skeleton, I love his animations and the look especially when the victory is nigh or he have defeated a stack all by himself :devious: The axe is nice too, something along with its upg that stand out from the previous skeleton crowd B-)

H4, to me it looks like "completed version" of H2 and H3 skeletons. I hate green color with undead so H5 skeleton and all their town is big :no:

I like the H3 one even though I've never played H3.
Again my problem with H4 is this: butt flaps :disagree:

Btw: Can't see the H5 pics ;|

Few facts:

1. I can't see H5 pics in my editor. Have you taken theme from AOH site?!

2. The last poll was made in Friday ant even it was made too early.
I beg everyone not to crate Evolution polls unles the last one isn't a week old! It'll be the best to create theme only on Mondays!
I am back and ready to... ready to... post things.

First,let me dirrect you here.The number in the red in the first post clearly says to wait for five more days.I know its fun to make polls,but keep in mind that more polls means crowded forums.

Second,the HV pictures have to be opened in order to be wieved.Try downloading them,and then hosting them somewhere.

Third,I voted for HII.

I actually prefer the bonepiles from Crusaders. Though that is no HoMM game by any means. But I think those skeletons really were quite convincing as skeleton warriors. But on topic. I'd have to say the skeletons from H3, in large number they were army killers. The skeleton achrers have taken their place now though.

I like the Skeleton archers, they have the most intimidating look of them all. The H2 looks more like an undead pirate, than warrior. The H3 Looks like if you thouch them the burst into powder, while H4 and the regular skeleton in H5 are in a shard second.

I voted for H2 skeletons because of their lovely, squeaky skeleton sounds, especially when you killed them and they fell apart :)

And that makes me think of Morte! So, vote Heroes IV.

I voted for H4 because it is the most clear and complete skeleton.

Did anyone else notice that the H5 skeleton is only wearing one shoe? And I think it is also wearing pants that seemed to have been tailored to stick to his bones. It must have been the same tailor who designed the lich's fancy ball evening gown. The skeleton is wearing so many cloths, that it looks like his flimsy body will collapse under all the weight. DL, what were you thinking when you fixed those pics? This is the second time in a row that H5 is the worst of the group.

I didn't mean it so seriously. And I didn't blame fans about anything.

Anyhow, I was just thinking that maybe creature polls should have their own little section so the "once a week" rule can be lifted.

Also, an alternative to creature polls could be hero polls where we choose our favorite hero evolution among the group. Although, there might not be enough pictures to do this effectively.
