Academy Creatures

Xander: It'd true, it the eye of Anubis on that ankh they have as symbol =)

I like "Academy's Creatures" because there are like in Heroes 3 (with some changes).

[lpatenaude]

The Djinn has a head as dark if not darker than the rest of his really dark body.

What you see is the contour of his overly fancy and shiny hat.

The hat is composed of white fur and a lovely flying over it is a light blue feather.

I just love its fantasy look. Look at the size of those blue with white spikes-like main part of the arms' tricep-bicep's amulets, aren't they awesome?!

[CloudRiderX]

It's definitely a better line-up than 3. The gremlin is the only thing I have a problem with. But I love the golems, they actually use a weapon! Thats what the golems in 3 were lacking, punching is great, but they could cut enemies in half with a sword. Rakshasa is going to be my favorite!

I would like to hire the Colossus character to paint my house, but

not Red.

Damn im getting tired about the whine about a gremling wearing a coat. Have you ever been in a desert? do you know how cold it is at night? they obviously have a reason for all the creatures they create and why they wear certain things. They have gone so deep with the facts for every little detail that you can in no way think its a mistake of some kind.

[vulnevia]

tetsumonkai: plus that big and warm clothes can keep the heat out.

[Orfinn]

Hard to belive but yes they do.

[CloudRiderX]

I don't know if tetsumonkai's comment was aimed toward me, but I never said anything about its coat looking funny. I just think it looks funny, but it doesn't really bug me.

[Anonimous360]

But they are obviously not a desert faction-check out the scenery behind the Djin,the Archmage and the gremlin.

[Orfinn]

Hmm, their home territory seems to be the sky but they also seems to like desolate places so living in a sky town above desert are logical.

[Breza]

Great one of the best shame no nagas this time or genies but still great the titans look great and so do the golems

[CloudRiderX]

Nagas and Genies are cool! What are you talking about? I like this lineup, but let's not get carried away....

To Breza: In mythology Nagas are creatures living in swamps, so maybe they will appear in the new Fortress town.

And Djinn is another name for Genie, read what kurios wrote to understand what it means.

[Breza]

To orfinn

Nagas are originally from egyptian mythology henceforth a desert would work nagas are swamp based but oasis are found in deserts also so i'm confused and yes i am fairly sad

[hammerofoz]

For an informative article on Nagas see http://www.khandro.net/mysterious_naga.htm

I can find no reference to Egypt but they are associated with water. Many Angor Wat era temples in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand display the naga as it appears in the game.

im impressed. i didnt think theyd be able to outdo the wizard team from HoMM3, but i was wrong. im gonna have to look up those rakshasa rani things tho; thats the only thing i dont recognize from mythology. i like the new look for the gremlins, its kinda like in the movie.

[kage]

it doesnt look like there's gonna be an ifrit to duke it out with the genies in this one...

[george137]

I liked it better when they were a tundra faction. I think the desert look is kind of plain.

[Arzang]

how is tundra any more or less plain than desert? both seem as infertile and plain to me. and isn't tundra climate always cold?



the desert goes fom hot to cold. it's less plain than you think. the desert look to me is a very welcome addition. at least they didn't go with anything that reminds of ancient greece to accompany the whole 'science'deal. that would be lame.
