Gargoyle looks like a trash bin...
Mage - some kind of freak. Deffinitely not awe-inspiring.
Titan - meh. It's horrible. Pathetic, unlike the one from Heroes4. Heroes4 titan means business.
Academy is deffinitely more hindu-flavoured now. Rakshasa, Genie, appearance of Mage, Golem... Speaking of Golem, it looks too shiny to be effective. Somehow Naga is gone - and maybe it's for good. Nagas are pretty much aquatic creatures, so they don't fit land-based game too much.

Oh hell... hit the pot!! WOW the academy looks awesome!!!!!!!!! I mean the Golem, the genie, the rakahsaka (or whatever that means - naga maybe?), Mage (ok he looks like some sultan which is funny), Titan... all are awesome... the gargoyle and gremlin are confusing, can't tell how they will look like in game tough.
8/10...

I don't really now what's the whole fuss about the naga . if you look at the indian culture you will find a deity that inspired the original naga and it didn't had a snake tail only the multiple handed swords.as for me i give ... 8/10

I think the Naga is so popular because Hmm3, it had the swords, cool look (Naga queen) and no one could retailate against it... i couldn't imagine playing Hmm3 without it (if playing tower). Hmm4 wasn't impressive to me tough

actually in the Russian text that i read there was nothing about Academy opposing Necropolis. On the other hand Sylvan faction is opposed to necromants as elves represent life and necromants represent death.

you missunderstood, necropolis is secret society splited off from academy. Order most likely is opposed to dungeon(also known as chaos), and well, titans and black dragons always was biggest enemies

*deep breath*

there is no need for a poll. Sylvan is the opposite of Necropolis, read the article below:
Quote:
Sylvan
If necromants represent death, elves represent life.
In all myths and fantasy tales elves lived in harmony with nature and this is what we were trying to do designing a race and placing an entire town on a gigantic tree. In older versions of HoMM there was something Oriental in the elvish towns - wooden constructions with square roofs similar to Chinese and Japanese architecture. As Oriental architecture is very close to nature we decided to keep that in HoMM 5 as well. Sylvan creatures which are freedom-loving and friendly and make great archers are created similar to North American Indians. We also included references to medieval legends of Britain and other European countries especially to those of druids, elves, and other woodland creatures.
The main idea of this race is nature. Here Sylvan are opposed to Necromants, if necromants represent death, elves represent life. Three out of seven creatures have long ears. Besides that Sylvan creatures are very fast and their attack skill is inferior only to that of Inferno creatures. Elves are also strong in magic. However Sylvan creatures have very low defense - the units are vulnerable and lack in HP.
Moderator's note:This topic has been closed, as it refers to an older version of the game. To discuss Heroes 3, please go to Library Of Enlightenment, to discuss Heroes 4, please go to War Room Of Axeoth, to discuss Heroes 5, go to Temple Of Ashan.
