Coatl, an alternative name to Naga for snake people.

[ThunderTitan]

Hell Charger lover....

Aztec lizardfolk = Eberron.

I want a lvl six unit that's called a Naga. If they call the race Naga i won't get it. So i hate you all....

[Metal Wolf]

I dont think there will be a naga/serpent race at all...
In fact, I'm quite sure that the Barbarian will be back.

[Omega_Destroyer]

If the name is Naga, then people will say it ripped off Warcraft 3.

If the name is Coatl, then people will say it ripped of Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends.

So I like Aztec Lizardfolk.

So I like Aztec Lizardfolk.

Lizardfolk - D&D. Aztec Lizardfolk - Eberron (Dragonshard RTS).

And as Warcraft is way more famous then RoN, Coatl is safer...

But hey, Chitauri is pretty nice, and also pretty obscure, unless you're into conspiracies and Ultimates comics. And there's Sheti, which is unused, or the D&D Yuan-Ti.

Anything else but Naga. What's next? Blood Elves?

[Omega_Destroyer]

But Aztec Lizardfolk says it all. You know exactly what are you going to get.

[ThunderTitan]

But Aztec Lizardfolk says it all.

Well that's true. Aztec Serpentfolk works too.

And by the way, no more than one naga please, what are you going to call the second one, 'two armed Naga', or 'slightly wimpier looking Naga'? I'm sure they can find many creatures in mythology that has something to do with snakes, or they can use Might and Magic series... I remember Dragonflies being pesky but dangerous creatures in M&M VII, they can easily be tier 1 or 2 creatures, Gorgons can be level 7 (in Greek mythology Gorgons are extremely powerful, with one being the bodyguard of Zeus), and a human caster unit with a name like "Snake handler", like the Indian fakirs, can be a quite cool surprise...

We couold have naga mages,priests,or whatever.Why do we have to have only human mages?Please,no humans wiht nagas!No more humans,elves or dragons AT ALL!Add a wyvern,add even a T-Rex,but no more dragons!!And heres an example for two nagas:

Samurai(or naga brute,or just brute):Level 4(5) creature,fast,no retal,good HP and defense,excelent offense.

Naga(or naga matrirach,priestess,whatever):Level 6(7) creature,good initiative,casts both curses and buffs,no retal,no melee penalty,but ranged penalty.

None of the other factions have race names in the creature names, so i doubt a Naga faction will.

Undead scourge controlled by Markal and Dark Messiah leading burning legion.

I don`t remember, but is there any word of snake people in H5 lore?

[Darkstroem]

Coatl (winged snake) would be fine as the lvl 7 unit.

[DaemianLucifer]

Undead scourge controlled by Markal and Dark Messiah leading burning legion.

Well we couldve expected that the moment we saw the juke box.

I don`t remember, but is there any word of snake people in H5 lore?

I dont think so,but it was mentioned as a faction in one of the interviews.

[MrSteamTank]

Coatl (winged snake) would be fine as the lvl 7 unit.

A winged snake could function like the dragonfly in heroes 3. In your face light melee along the style of a gargoyle. An excellent idea for a tier 2 unit.

[Lady Farquad]

Nagas, as sneaks, may happily survive in a desert environment.

Naga could come back as part of the barbarian family. The name coatl is quite appropriate and it could be THE creature of that race. Level 7, nagas should be sort of queens. No dragons please.

Flying serpents, medusas, orcs, a lower level behemoth and Nagas on the top!

(Just dreaming)

[MrSteamTank]

I hope they use an aquatic jungle theme for the nagas. I loved the fortress faction from homm3 and would definitely like to see something ressembling that in homm5.

As for the cultural style I'd prefer to see an aztec pyramid-type style but I wouldn't really be too picky as long as it worked.

Based on the fact that in DMoMM a katana is called a Naga Silksword it looks like they'll be based on Japan.

Oh, and Saurians is also a good alternative name.

[vhilhu]

Medusas - why not medusas?

btw in Battle for Wesnoth i first liked saurians and took them a few time until i discovered they are crap(no fire/holy damage, no impact damage, no flyier, no reallyfastguy, no reallyheavystrongguy). I was betrayed by saurians. never trust a saurian.

What did you expect from a bunch of cold blooded anthropomorphic animals?

[asandir]

naga's are pretty well linked to heroes in my mind, so i'll go with that

although an option could be salamanders, or even the generic reptiles

As a lvl6 six-armed melee killing machine, not a whole race. You really want to see her called Naga Crusher or something?

[asandir]

why not, my point was just that Naga as a name has an association to heroes, but Coatl doesn't, but hey, that's just my opinion
