I like the academy HOMM5 design the best.

Most pleasing for me is HommIII. version of this SpiredTown.

H5 of course, the pther looks rough and boring in comparison. The new one not only looks great thanks to 3D but it also have a great, fresh atmosphere. Welcome to sky city homm style, tibanna gas stored at the golem factory I guess

Indeed, given the altitude, H5 version should be a good choice for sunbathing.

Voted HV because Im a netheril fanboy

HIII is a very close second.

Vote H5. Floating wizard cities is a MM classic as well. H3 is- as usual- very good, but h2 is a bit too dusty for my tastes. H4 is the usual collection of stuff placed at random.

I love the look and feel of H2, so I'll go with that. It felt amazing to eventually build that Cloud Castle. I don't get that feeling from the rest, but they still all look pretty nice..

Heroes 3 seems the best to me.

The Heroes III academy is perfect.

Even match between H3, H4 and H5. (Voted H3 though).

Always very good-looking cities.

Can't decide between 2&3.

Heroes III gets my vote. Lovely architecture and interesting scenery topped off with a whopping great tower. Heroes V is good, but lacks scenery.

i live in quite icy place myself and i dont want to see more snow again, so homm5.

While I must admit the H5 Academy is absolutely stunning (now there's a real magical city... it floats!), I really liked the Tower more [insert what Genesis said here]. I think the cold mountain air is better for study than the scorching desert sun...

vhilhu · Unread postby **vhilhu** » 18 Aug 2006, 22:54

in h2 and h4 it was desert too.i mean genies in ice? that doesnt fit. which brings me to another great thing: genie hiring bottles into homm5!

theLuckyDragon · Unread postby **theLuckyDragon** » 18 Aug 2006, 22:58

In H4 the Academy is associated with Snow terrain. And I see nothing wrong with genies inhabiting snowy places. They're in the sand in "real world", but this is fantasy and a little variation doesn't hurt. Plus, they're blue, and blue goes better with white than with yellow and orange

vhilhu · Unread postby **vhilhu** » 18 Aug 2006, 22:59

mummy mask are blue and yellow.

vhilhu · Unread postby **vhilhu** » 18 Aug 2006, 23:01

h4 in ice style? it has those strange towers that look like some minarets or some byzantine stuff so its more like desert i think.

and titans? mediterranean - thats also quite hot there.

Notice the smiley

Thinking of Tutankhamon's mask, I agree that gold looks good with blue in that situation, but sand isn't gold coloured and genies don't have that intense blue colour.

Edit in reply to 2nd post: Umm... yeah, Heroes 4 in ice and snow. Check the picture in the first post
