Hope they learn enough from the last HoMM serie to make a good story line this timeNelgirith wrote:Think you're asking way too much from a company that wasn't even able to make us a coherent storyline in H5ecsunotos wrote:They can do that just by giving us a "make a sense" story of the unit as a "reason" why it join a faction and than move to another one or just by remaking unit design so that it fits the new town or any other "tricks".
Ok. That is it, then nagas in Enroth (Erathia) and Axeoth were good, and traditionally they have been good in the series... yet we do not know anything of Ashan's lore about them.Slayer of Cliffracers wrote:Heroes III introduced Nagas under the Wizard/Tower faction which was officially classified as Good. Heroes IV sort of dropped the good/evil thing but kept the Nagas as aligned to the wizards in the Order faction.
The sources I have checked set it as mysticism/diplomacy/adaptability. "Peaceful" as quiet and secretive, but also switft and indomitable when decides to act... much more a neutral to meNelgirith wrote:The fact that they worship Shalassa, the Dragon of Water and deity of wisdom/peace/diplomacy should be enough to classify them as good
sounds like medusa from greek mythology to me... we're talking about medusa in HoMM series... dev can give us brand new medusas different from its originDragon Angel wrote: As medusas... I do not se them going out on a war to the world... but killing you asap as you enter (what they have decided is) their territory
!!!!!! Well, well, well. I thought I was the only heroes fan who did research on the orginal Naga legends. Love it if we could talk later, because I find Naga to be very intresting.MattII wrote:Um, guys, sticking Garuda in a Naga faction is like sticking a Devil in Haven.
Actually, Medusae were introduced as neutrals in Heroes II, so they were originally unaligned (or, technically, aligned with ghosts, genies, elementals, and rogues)Slayer of Cliffracers wrote: Medusa was also introduced in Heroes III under the Dungeon faction which was officially classified as Evil. They continued under the Chaos faction (the enemy of the Order faction) as aligned with the bandits and minotaurs (and other remnants of Dungeon faction).
But that's just it. The original Myths are fun! It would really kick butt if we could use a Garuda to rip through ranks of undead and demons. I am not saying you have to carbon copy the old myths, I sure didn't when I made a Naga faction for ICTC, but I did a lot of research to make sure I captured the spirit of the Naga.Elvin wrote:Wouldn't be the first unit to get a lore makeover nor the last. It's a game anyway, fun units are more important than mythological accuracy.
Because making it blue is such a great idea... i for one prefer my Phoenix to run on wood, not methane... hopefully it will at least look like a bird instead of a flying amorphous mass...Nelgirith wrote:I rather see them deforming mythology to create their own one, but it seems people are too stubborn and aren't ready for that
while She is not practically ice (which is made of water) element (Referring to Final Fantasy's Shiva version) but She got Trident, Serpents in which may remind us of Poseidon's Trident as Sea God and Serpents as Naga, both are related to water. it doesn't matter. Looks what they've done to medusa in Heroes series. Medusa is a single creature anyway.admira99 wrote:Well there is possibility that this "Naga" is based on oriental (Chinese) myth.

Yes, but medusa has other of their kin called Gorgon while Fu Xi and Nu Wa don't have. Anyway this is pointless, they already decided which culture they wished to adopt, the only things left is to hope that it turned out well. Yeah who thought a Hydra and Big bad Moo Moo who adopt the name Gorgon and adopting Aztec style turn out to be interesting faction in Heroes 3?ecsunotos wrote:it doesn't matter.

But Developer made it to become a group of creature.
As for Titans, I like the back story of them. Creature that are created by wizard. Filled by the spirit of dead Heroes.
We don't know that. It could still be that we luck out and there will be no Naga faction in H6. After all it is said in the story description that the resurrected angel is trying to fight the "Faceless" and we have also been told there will be only one new faction. It is still possible that it is the faceless that is that new faction and that Ubisoft chose not to ruin the old Naga legends.admira99 wrote:

There is different for the better and different for difference's sake. I retain some hope that it will be an interesting unit though.
