Oh yeah, after all, it is a chinese MMO... I don't like it.

[katykat29]

A panda? Really??

[Metathron]

The castle and its surroundings look gorgeous, but I don't care about this creature lineup.

'Grats to Tar for making it into a Heroes game.

[darknessfood]

Well, it looks nice, but from a HoMM fan perspective i think most people don't like it AT ALL!

[PhoenixReborn]

Lol @Kareeah...that's what I was thinking too.

[Elvin]

Agreed with the previous comments. Beautiful town screen but the units..

[Angelspit]

Larger version of the Panda...

[Corlagon]

It's... too original, or something. Great graphics though.

[Ravenheart87]

Only positive side of the new town: now you can burn a bunch of idiot looking pandas into ashes with your black dragon army. Of course, in real life you won't burn pandas, 'cause they are cute. But these...

I wonder, which unit is able to fly or teleport...

[ywhtptgtfo]

I am a Chinese myself, but I feel HoMM just got *******ized... I mean, there are excellent Chinese fantasy games out there but I don't think HoMM Online is one. Western and Eastern mythologies just don't mix well!!



But then again, the Asian gaming industry is much less professional than the American gaming industry.. so I am not surprised to see such crap coming out. Let's just hope this doens't affect HoMM 6 and MM 10.

[Ravenheart87]

Don't worry, HoMM Online has nothing to do with the "original" series. And yes, mixing east and west isn't always a good idea.

I'd like to ask you something, if you're chinese: what are the last three units? I don't know too much about chinese mythology, only about indian and japanese (yeah, stupid animes...).

[Marcus333]

I like the units for one, they look a bit alternative, yes, but pretty cool. But since it's an MMO, I probably won't be playing it.

[Infiltrator]

Mixing heroes with chinese style = worse then poo.

[admira99]

@Ravenheart87: let me do that for you.

Starting from left:

1. Probably a Jade Warrior. In some Chinese legend, they are said to guard the forbidden palace.

2. Well pretty much a clear one. A Shaolin Monk even now they are still exists and said to possesed great ancient chinese matrial art.

3. Probably a tactician or a Tao Priest.

4. err... a Panda?

5. It is a Kirin, a horse like creature engulf in fire and has a head of a chinese Dragon. In some Kung-Fu Novels said to be a very powerful creature in both speed and destructive power.

6. Probably a powerful Chinese Wizard, some picture them as "dragon" and when it means a Dragon, it means a long-serpent chinese dragon. Usually very wise and a great tactician. Zhuge Liang the legendary tactician in a history of three kingdoms is called "the sleeping Dragon"

7. A god or immortal incarnation. In the past chinese teachings, it is said that immortal, heaven war general live in heaven. Sometimes they incarnate human embodiment, born as human but possesed a powerful skill of their past life as immortal or heaven war general.

[Ravenheart87]

Thanks. I figured the first fourout by myself easily, but I wasn't sure about the kirin.



So, what's next? How about a town based on the works of famous writers? For evil, I thought about Lovecraft (cause a legion of Deep Ones would be neat), or the good... perhaps Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh...

tier 1 is tomb figure..from the first Chinese feudal emperor's mausoleum

[Daystar]

Terracotta Warrior?

[lisqr]

tier 6 is the dragon king

tier 7 is a "Heavenly king" based on Li Jing a fictional character from various classics. I can't find a wiki page for it. Here's the closest thing that I can find. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Heavenly_Kings
