Where are the cyclops?
I'm a big fan of the cyclops, and they have been superb in all HOM&M games despite the one in HOM&M2, who attacked with a beam from his eyes, which is strange...
In HOM&M3&4 they are very useful and powerful in range attacks. But does anyone know if the cyclops are a neutral creature in HOM&M5 or doesn't exist at all???

Dunno yet
...'Cause not all creatures or even town are known, I don't know if there are going to be Cyclopes in H5.
I do hope to see them back (without the area attack though) because they were of good use as an extra catapult in H3, and you can always use a tough ranged creature. Funny thing about the beam yes, I didn't understand that one at first, but I rarely play H2 these days

neutral, or expansion. will people please stop complaining about lack of this creature or that creature? When the game goes gold we can argue, not before.
Edit: sorry I was so testy. bad day at school. but it's true, cyclopses have been a major part of the game. I hope we see them again.

Yeah, it was thick and red in color. H2's version was thinner. Both were cool, even though the Cyclops were lower in power than creatures like Dragons.
I don't like the idea of there being no Cyclops creatures, either.

Yeah, no cyclops, no entire Barbarian town (orcs/trolls/rocs/behemoths/goblins/ogres etc) and no dwarves, centaurs, swamp town (gorgons, basilisk, hyrda, wyvern)

Cycloppses[speech]
The cyclopses have been in HOMM for"generations".I understand that if H4 was[no offense please],quite a stinker,major changes had to made in H5.But the cyclopses
have always been quite important,in H2 being able to paralize,in h3 being some the few high level rangestrikers[including the Titans],and they came even in H4[never played h1].Perphaps some think its lame to continue bringing in the cyclopses[maybe].But we dont.
and there must be some programmers who shared our ideas[hopefuly].So,I hope that the cyclopses shall rise again.

I kind of hope they take from Age of Mythology's Cyclops, if only the club.

Let me just try and clear something up:
in homm1&2, the cyclops was a stupid unit which shot beams from it's eyes... not my fav.
but the unit I do want, is the one which existed in all 4 games - the rock shooter. in 1&2 it was a troll, and in 3&4 it was the cyclops. it was even able to attack castle walls (was that in 3?), which I really loved.
Personally, I don't care what they call it in 5, as long as they have it. not sure where it would fit tough, seeing as there's no barbarian...

What would be cool is to have a battle feild with giant...things throwing rocks at everyone for no apparent reason. this would mean some interesting strategy of luring you opponent into this area with your high defense creatures.
