In LotR, female dwarves have beards 
Nival probably were inspired by the "statue that throws water" with a bit of "tombstone" style in it rather than the "fictional gargoyles".
So Vok, let's declare: it's a tie!
In H2,3,4 was the statue Gorgoyle.
And In H5 there's the tombstone Gargoyle.
That's it.
You won there and I won here.

Real programmers use assembly man

push creature
call ishiny
test eax, eax
je ugly
push Its_pretty_string

I didn't get the point of those posts, but are you trying to say all Academy's creatures are ugly? 
If I understood correctly.
What's your problem with them?

That piece of code goes through all Academy creatures and:
- if the current creature is shiny, print to the screen the word "Pretty"
- otherwise print "Ugly"
as the if statement will never evaluate to false, because all the Academy creatures are shiny, you won't see Ugly at all
hope it's clear

Don't blame me for that code, I only translated it into a different language.

I like this review. The clothes of the Gremlins... Maybe they have a very sensitive skin?

I think the academy creatures were designed by someone else than the rest of the factions. Just guessing from the early artwork.
The gremlins are cool but totally copied from the movie
The Gargoyles are the strangest creatures in the game. How are they supposed to fly with those wings?
Golems look OK, steel golems great.
Mages - yes they look excotic.
Djinns. Cool proportions, but a bit too much a caricature after my taste (liked the H2 version best)
The Rakhasas. Great design - the best of Academy. Better than the old nagas.
Collossus and Titan: OK, but I don't think the animations are that great. Especially the way they lay down.

It's your taste.
But I think the creators made much of a expected things with the rest of the factions, that here they wanted to make something unique.
It's strange, but it's creative and different. Not the same as other version. Example: Haven and Castle (H3), Just compare...

Yes, at least academy hasn't boring troops to watch. Those master gremlins are fun to watch and they also have the strangest ability - to fix war machines.
The biggest dissapointment was all the dragons - 6 of them. It would have been more fun with phoenixes fighing for the Sylvan. And what about undead cyclopses for the Necros (Thinking about Dark Messiah)
Its all about dragon worshipping now

I don't have a problem with gremlins wearing long robes to keep the wind and sand off of them, but there coat just looks too hot. ALso the mages do look like clowns more than scholars and could do with a few less colors.

gremlins- hehehe, i love them. actually they are one of the few creatures in academy that i like. do you know how cold it gets at night in the desert!
gargolyes- blocks of stone given life, harharhar.
golems- looks like its been recycled, i'm not paying for something already used.
mages- too old and full of himself.
genies- no head!
rakshasa- here, kitty kitty kitty.
collosus- not really that great, just a guy made out of marble.

Hmm, we are very strict, because h5 compared to h4 is beauty itself. When i play, i use classical homm view. I can see everything good and it is nice, good job. Only few things piss me off, but i like ubisoft.

That's a nice way to look at things.
I actually like it.
