Yes, what's that about anyway? The sketch is perfect but when it comes to his rear legs I'm confused. It sort of looks like his legs are on fire or the wind took some of them with it

The armour looks delicately carved even though it's just a sketch.

Ummm...Its a sketch,so Im guessing that the missing of the rear legs is what people call style,or artistic freedom.

I know...but still I wonder if he was just lazy or legs were a boring thing to draw

However in WoG, even the H3 centaur can shoot

And there are two varieties as well.

The interesting thing is that in H3, the centaur graphic definitions had the shooting animation built-in, so at some point in the development, they were going to be ranged. My guess is that at first the centaur was going to remain with the Warlock forces (as they were in Heroes 1 and 2), but when they decided to move them to the sorceress town, another shooter wasn't needed.
The fact that the graphics already existed is one of the main reasons that WoG could add in the ability to them (no new graphics were needed)

How You can call Centaurs Barbarians? Centaur Heron was the mentor teacher of Herkules ,jason , and many others great greek heroes .

Centaus and harpies was the ugliest creacher that i saw in heroes universe.

Wasn't that a satyr? Or is that just in the Disney version?

And he was also famous for being civilized, unlike his brethren.

From what I remember, mythological centaurs raped nymphs and enjoyed a good brawl. They'd go rather well in a Stronghold town if we get an expansion.

Actually, it would be nice to see them instead of Inferno Nightmares. I never got why they replaced the Efreet with horses...

Everyone in greek mythology raped nymphs. Alot of plants got created because of that. And springs too.

Well, that kind of behaviour is bound to happen if your top god is the kind that attempts to have sex with anything that walks.

Lots of fairies, some dark elves and trolls... Nope, the centaur is the only one with enough HoMMesquerie in my opinion
