Sorceress/Druid hero evolution

[UndeadHalfOrc]

Yeah, I know that in H4 there is a sorcerer/sorceress but she counts more as a Warlock than sorceress really, being aligned with evil Chaos magic. And as far as I know H5's hero is a ranger. This is strictly for nature loving, forest dwelling magic users.

H1 Sorceress. Extra movement on water


H2 Sorceress. Starts with Basic Wisdom, Advanced Navigation and the Bless spell.


H3 Druid (As an argument for its inclusion, Gem is a sorceress turned druidess)


H4 Druid


H4 Druidess

[Akul]

My vote goes for the H1 sorceress.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

H4 Druidess! I love all about the nature faction in H4

[Muszka]

One of my favorite all-time heroes was Alexandra the Great (Agraynel)... I must vote H4 Druidess...

[Humakt]

I don't like H2 one at all. Horse looks better than woman riding her.

H1 Sorceress on the other hand looks rather pretty while the horse is not as good as in H2.

H3 Druidess is ok. Warddrobe seems rather bland but that's fitting for druids in general.

H4 Druidess (I'm not going to vote for male) looks pretty much perfect. The rainbow colors while casting bring up nice contrast to her outfit. Only bad thing really is the animation or lack of it but that's the problem in all NWC's HoMMs.

[Kristo]

Voted for H2...again. Does anyone know what the precedent is for the Sorceress' Navigation ability? It seems odd to me.

[Pol]

Seems normal to me, it means that they are faster navigating to the point perhaps?

[Corlagon]

From examining the data files I have reason to believe there was going to be a Sorceress model for Gem in Heroes III. This deleted text event from the New Beginning campaign is named "Black Hair (Deleted Unless Gem gets her horse)":

One of my Centaurs approached me while we were setting up camp.

"My Lady Gem," he asked "Why is it your hair turns black before and during a battle?"

The question took me by surprise. I stared at him for a moment. He fidgeted and began to back away. "I didn't mean to..."

I laughed. "No, it's alright. I guess you wouldn't know. Where I come from, most of the Sorcerers are raven haired." Seeing confusion in his eyes, I explained, "It's just to confuse our enemies. So it's harder for observers to tell which Sorcerer is actually on the field. Of course, there aren't any other Sorcerers that I know of in Antagarich."

I had to laugh at the look in his eyes. Clear as mud obviously. But I didn't get any more questions about my hair.

Just for this, my vote goes to the raven haired Enrothians (Heroes II).

[UndeadHalfOrc]

I don't like H2 one at all. Horse looks better than woman riding her.

That's quite harsh. She looks a bit too plump for you perhaps?

Corlagon, I also viewed this dummy event, quite interesting. There are quite a few dummy events in other campaigns too, like Christian's campaign in AB.

H2 sorceress looks like a reall sorceress to me

On that note, did you ever work this one out?

To he who may unscramble this message: A Greene Virus Toy. The heavens shall smile upon thee.

[Metathron]

Voted for the HoMM II gal. Brings back so many memories.

But the others are also up there somewhere, except (as almost always) HoMM III.

P.S.: A clearer and more straightforward image of the HoMM IV druid would probably be better. Especially with the male, I had to look for almost a minute to unscramble which body part was where.

[Yurian Stonebow]

Voted for H3 Druid.

Gem is unique in Heroes III for her character is listed as a Sorceress in her AB campaign called "A New Beginning" whereas in single scenario maps she is called a Druid.

Although I went with Heroes III, there's something fascinating about H4's North American Indian style. Quite fitting for Nature's theme.

I vote for the H1 sorceress. Lightly armored human female on an unbarded horse ... This is just about right.

The H2 horse barding doesn't look right. For a Sorceress I don't want to see barding.

H3 looks bland.

H4 lacks a horse in general so I don't like that much ...

[Akul]

But they have Zebras!

[Sir William S Titan]

Was between those of H4. Fem got it, though.

[Dracomancer]

I go with H3. Simple, earth colours, blonde hair - that's pretty much how a sorceress/druidess should look like, imo.

I also like H1, and to a lesser extent, H2, for the fairytale looks. H4's American Indian style is also very fitting for its faction.

All in all, I don't really dislike any of the hero models in the NWC games.

[asandir]

H2 is my fav, followed closely by the H4 druidess

[ThunderTitan]

Anyone have a picture of the Druids standing up?! You know, so i can tell how they look in a non-fetal position?

Hey, I don't have H4. These pics were all I could find at www.heroesofmightandmagic.com
