Second Expansion officially announced

[soupnazii]

maybe they get some sort of fear ability, like azure dragons (or does somebody also have that in H5?) i think it would make sense, wiht campaigner ebing a good example

[watcher83]

that orc is not from the screenshots
have you noticed that in the picture there is a footman and a vindicator holding spears?

[BlackBeast]

maybe a new neutral?

Looks like Pikeman will return i wander whose alternative upgrade it will be.

I think it would be Footman's alternative upgrade, pike insted of heavy armor and sword. Less HP and Defense but more Attack, Initiative and speed. But..why the Squire is holding a pike too or is he a hero?

P.s Are they renegades or normal haven units? They r red but i see griffin wings on helmet...

[Orfinn]

hybrids? no idea it may be just an example picture...who knows..

@Zam:

It's obvious, they're so stupid that they don't know magic is supposed to work on them... so it doesn't.

LOL!

That's exactly what I was talking about. And TT probably found the best sarcastic comment to express how stupid would it be if magic won't work on them just because they are barbarians. As opposed to Wizards, I see barbarians as the alignment the least capable of developing a skill that would allow them to either produce or counter magic.

Well one could say that living at the mercy of the elements gives them some resistance from their dmg, and their one track mind makes mind spells less likely to succeed. And eating unsanitary foods resistance to poisons.

[Elvin]

Maybe it is something shamans developed or it is linked to their battlerage where they ignore the pain during their murderous fury! Maybe.

[Apocalypse]

They just don't even know what magic is, so when the enemy casts a spell on them they say: "Hey, you cheat with that stuff! Me inform Nival of this bug!"
