Poll Question:
Naga/Rakshasha

Starting with the heroes level 6 creature for tower:tha nega.They were very strong units,capable of ending a battle many times,their upgrade was naga queen,though creature,strong,big damge dealer...probably each of these reasons made it the one which enemies targeted it first..expensive very much,being more expensive than the behemoths when upgraded.
Now the six arm snake woman has been kicked out from the wizards uses and been replaced with the 2\4 arm lion woman\man,rakshashas.They are very good in melle combat and one of my favourite units in entire heroes games.Upgraded rakshashas have two more hands,dash ability and can do bi g damage as could the nagas!Also having bigger hit points than the nagas do,a extra ability lethalizing them much more.
Felt they have to be compared in a poll.

The Naga and the Rakshasa are exactly the same unit, it's just called something else and looks different because rumour has it that the Naga will return in another context.

I wouldn't call it exactly the same though there is an undeniable resemblance Rakshasas were just created with the naga unit in mind.While nagas were more damaging and faster rakshasas are cooler,have better looks and make your head bursting with possible strategies: Dash or attack right away? I'll tell you one thing though:The rakshasas have yet to offer me the satisfaction of those 6-armed naga attacks which always resulted in massacre.I still remember the feeling.

naga's are indian cousins of the medusa's
medusas fit,but naga..don't.The're like a poor rip off medusa in good aligment with slight modifictions,an adds of hands etc..nah,i dont like em,esspcily in heroes4,they didnt have a part in history,unlike all others monsters in h3-2-1,that each roll has been explained in one way,or another..
Rakasha are worse..why? becouse its like inventing a complete new thing over old correct thing.
I prefer good old over new fency

Nobody can call nagas a medusa ripoff since they existed in Indian mythology(and I doubt they knew about medusas).H4 no part in history?Maybe they survived and joined the faction later when it formed.Hollow but so what?In H1,2 or 3 did all creatures have an explanation for being there?Only but a few.The nagas maybe had little to do with the tower concept but rakshsas certainly fit in the current kinda middle-eastern academy.Even if they did not,the description explains why they are there.I don't have a problem seeing something new although I rather prefered the nagas.

i know how you feel! The reason is that in Heroes 3 you built nagas always on first week, so they were pretty much there agains all lower level creatures. Now when you get Rakshasas you have already cleared the easiest neutrals with your lower level creatures, because you can't afford to wait for the R.

I prefer Naga's. Oh, I still remember that mission in the Armageddon's Blade campaign, where you faced off against a Legion (1000+) Naga Queens at one time ...

Of course, making such a comparison is kinda hard to do, since most (all?) creatures now have some sort of special ability, whereas many in H3 and H4 didn't.

I voted for Naga/Queens for one reason: the Rakshasha's look SUPID. I mean seriously, the first time I saw it, I was like, 'is this for comedy relief?'

The whole Academy is so arabic-themed now. The heroes all wear turbans. Their djinns look more middle-east than ever. Magi as well.

At least in H3 the Magi look cool. They had long white hair. Nagas are a well known mythical creature. Titans maintained their colossal suave-ness.

All in all, I really despise the H5 image of the Wizards. I will never play it, and Rakshashas are half the reason(typing that name gives me the chills already).

If the nagas are going to be put in the second expansion,would you like for them to replace the rakshasha's or have a town of their own?

Nagas image in my mind is as a part of Academy town. It should be/stay here because they suit this towns style good.

I voted for Naga and Naga currently wins voting.
Actually Rakshashas are so close to Nagas that I really misunderstood why they need to replace them? If they wanted to replace unit it was better to make it much more original. But Rakshashas even looks as Nagas, it is really one of the worst solutions in good enough game.
