First i hated Dancers mainly because they replaced Dwarfs. But they really covered that one up in expansion! Dancers as creatures aren't anything spectacular but their problem is that they are new in the game.
Dark Elfs where other new creatures in the series and that did seem odd at first. Now it's part of the game and it dosen't bother me at all. Maby in next Heroes they are wiser and use classic mythology creatures rather than their own sexual fantasies
It's good what we are getting but in next game there should be also.. Harpies, Behemonths, Nomands, Ogres, Trolls, Halflings, Boars, Rocs, Thunderbirds, Gorgons, Nagas, Genies, Neutral Dragons and Commanders!

Actually I like both dark elf and new sylvan units. Rampart was slow enough with the dwarves and treants, now it feels better imo.
As for dungeon I like more furies than harpies and don't really miss beholders or medusas. Only the shadow witches could be a bit more interesting but still they are ok.

Centaurs/Dwarfs to Dancers/Druids was good change and all creatures works good in their towns now. Furies was nice change indeed but most of these new creatures had no backround and that i missed perhaps little.
Satyrn as example would be more of fantasy creature than Dancers but the racial theme of the game is more importan than a single creature. Thats why "Maby in next Heroes"...

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

I liked the centaurs as lancers, one of my favourites Satyrs I could just never get to like them.

Any creature what looks like it got something stuck in their ass is hard to like. Satyrns, Leprechaun and other goofballs where rather gay in H4. "Have seen my fun hole?" Oh man i'm getting little tired here best to get some sleep.

I must agree the Sylvan elves look plain UGLY. And not as much body or clothing wise (even though Master Hunter clothing = lamest ever), but simply FACIAL wise. From elves, you'd expect prettyness. Instead, you get a disgusting, long-stretched weasily look... Which just makes you want to puke rather than drool.
War Dancers are sexy, but the face is a total boner-killer.

I hated that initially but got used to it to the point I don't even notice it anymore...

What I blame is that they passed the idea that long sideway ears look cool No they look like crap and are silly too.

I think they got that idea from Jak and Daxter.
Long ears seems more popular these days with elven-type creatures, and I think they do look better than the standard human ears with a sharpened point. Side-ways though, meh, who knows. I don't have a problem with it. It's their face that is the problem.

Why you pay attention to small things? Get used to it.
I never liked Dwarves anyway, no matter the looks or whatever.

I like the wardancers, only the blood furies are much better. Compared to the rest of the tier2 upgrades they're more than capable.

Quote: what do u mean by first strike??all units have first strike unless u mean no retaliation..this is not HOMM4
What I meant is when the unit attacks a blade dancer, the blade dancer RETALIATES BEFORE the enemy unit attacks, so they would kill the enemy units before taking damage. I think that would put it up on the same level of power as the blood maiden.

Why do they need to be comparable to the blood maidens???? This whole discussion is ridiculous. Its like some 5 year olds whining about whose piece of cake is bigger. Maybe Nival should give zombies 16 initiative and no enemy retal so they can compare with blood maidens too

Actually that's a good idea!
Hey Fabrice Pikachu, you hear that?
Actually a flying zombie would be awesome.
Any way Blade Dancers/War Dancers suck and they always will suck in just about every way possible.

As you said there is nothing special about them or an interesting gameplay.
