This game rocks!

[Blaspheme]

Heej all, I just wanna to say that I think that HOMM V rocks!! I like it much better than the previous parts! The creatures just move incredible!!

The creatures I think are useless and ugly:
Demons / Gargoyles / Elementals (to colorful and happy) / Phoenix (looks like a dragon-kind)

The only bad thing is the special abilities from the creatures... I think they should be more creative with them! Just look at the creatures and you make up the following new special abilities (use your imagination and you find out what I mean with the special abilities, I wrote them down in my previous proposal so maybe you remember what the special abilities do.

This is my expansion-proposal after playing the actual game!

MILITIA (WORKAHOLIC)

Can we have explanations for those abilities?

The only bad thing is the special abilities from the creatures... I think they should be more creative with them! Just look at the creatures and you make up the following new special abilities (use your imagination and you find out what I mean with the special abilities, I wrote them down in my previous proposal so maybe you remember what the special abilities do.

I'm not so sure every single creature upgrade needs a new ability. I could see tier 7 maybe getting another ability, and just in general getting improvements (aside from Titans/Black Dragons) because for the most part, Tier 7 sucks. Tier 6 is really where it's at for most factions.

I liked most of the ideas for the Barbaric faction and the neutral creatures, but the Frost Wyrm I didn't agree with. Heroes V already has too many dragons. Way too many.

Wyrm is acceptable since its not actually a dragon it is in the same family but a wyrm is a gigantic snake with wings, or like a giant snake breathing fire or a snake with to many feets. Still i think a wyrm is better as a mighty neutral along with the phoenix.

I think gigantic mammoth/elephant with a canopy on the top with soldiers would be cool for the tier 7 for the stronghold race. I'm so sick of seeing behemoths. They are such ugly units and would like a different style of unit rather than another ground pounder. We have enough of them.

My tier 7 for stronghold would be
Mammoth/War Mammoth
Hp - 260/300
Damage - 20-40/20-40
Attack - 21/25
Defense - 21/25
Speed - 7/7
Initiative - 9/9
Shots - 0/12

Mammoth abilities:
Siege(can target walls/towers),Charge,Immunity to Moat Effects
War Mammoth abilities:
Siege,Charge,Immunity to Moat Effects,Autoshot(at the beginning of the war mammoths combat turn he gets an automatic free ranged shot for 15-30 damage with no ranged penalty)

A melee/ranged hybrid siege unit would be such an interesting unit that no previous homm has ever done. The only unit that is such an interesting hybrid in homm5 would be the scout/assassin with his ranged poison move and melee capabilities. This game definitely needs more specialist units and NOT another ground pounder like the behemoth.

My understanding is that the creature in brackets is what this unit should resemble.

@MrSteamTank

Nice proposal,and I like it.

Nice proposal,and I like it.

You dislike my whole proposal and you like that elephant??

[MrSteamTank]

I like the portal idea of a devil. How about whenever he teleports he leaves a portal until his next turn where other units can go through and end up coming out wherever the devil went to. This way the devil can sort of 'lead' the charge of the infernal's army.

It would definitely add a completely new dimension to the devil imo.

[ThunderTitan]

How about whenever he teleports he leaves a portal until his next turn where other units can go through and end up coming out wherever the devil went to. This way the devil can sort of 'lead' the charge of the infernal's army.

Kinda powerful, but if it works both ways then it shouldn't cause too many problems.

[theGryphon]

@ Blaspheme
Why don't you go ahead and describe the new abilities that you propose? It's not that your suggestions are bad, but they are not clear...

[DaemianLucifer]

I said only one thing about your proposal and thats that it needs some explaining.Until then,I neither like it,nor dislike it.I cannot judge just by names.

It may be a bit too good. On the downside everybody travelling through would end up bunching up around the devil(in other words a nice AoE target) so it may be balanced in that way.
