Quote: Too many dragons in the Heroes universe. With so much mythology in the world, anything more than 1 dragon comes across as uninspired and lazy.
Agree.
For me,it would be enough with rust/black,bone/ghost and crystal dragons as they are my favorites from wog.
Other than that,I always disliked the dragons==gods thing in H5.
Its just the overusing of the word "Dragon".
At least they could have removed the word dragon out of each of them.
Joke/
Haven needs "Teh Emprah" as their god,not as a corpse though as he would not be much of a use that way.
/joke.

Quote: To take a different approach, would you want five different types of griffins? There could be a light griffin, a death griffin, a water griffin, a sky griffin, and a fire griffin. I don't think you would.
That depends, if done well enough, I certainly would not mind.
If they were all recoloured lion-eagles, then no.
But if we take griffin into a little broader sense, as in the hybrid of a bird of prey and a predatory mamal, I can see it be done well. The light griffin could be the one we all know, the Lion-Eagle. The death griffin could be the hybrid between a vulture and a hyena. And I think you could create some more creatures that way.

What are the odds that the game will be released on September 8th? The reason I ask is b/c I want to take the 9th off (Friday) and enjoy the day playing with a buddy of mine! Since I need to put in my vacation request soon, I want to make sure that the release date of the 8th is reliable. Thanks!

As far as Sept. 8th goes, shouldn't this game have gone Gold by now if it's to meet that release date?
I don't know the specifics on how far out a game needs to have gone Gold, but it does seem like it's gotta be close to that if they wish to make that date.

So far it's the official release date but might change if the rumors that in late August (25 I think) is going to be another Beta, if I ware you I would take the vacation form 12th, 8 September is on Thursday and 9 is Friday (depending on how you bought the game you might lose the 9 if in digital, if is a hard copy it's going to arrive just right for the weekend 10-11).

Quote: It comes across as lazy because there are so many other choices for units in the game that every additional dragon takes away a possibility. Why do you want so many dragons? Isn't it bad enough that the mythology of Ashan is based off of dragon gods?
To take a different approach, would you want five different types of griffins? There could be a light griffin, a death griffin, a water griffin, a sky griffin, and a fire griffin. I don't think you would.
They could have based their mythology on griffins for all that mattered, even though it does seem like a less likely choice than Dragons, given that there has always been a rich fantasy lore about different kind of dragons.
Why do I want several dragons? Well, I liked the dragons in Heroes 3 AB, and I like the different types of dragons in D&D (chromatic dragons, metallic dragons, crystalline dragons). So I don't have any problems with several dragons, as long as they are not just reskins (for instance, the fact that the H3 dragons as well as the original H5 dragon had no unique breath attack made them very boring). And frankly, I don't see that many brilliant level 7 or boss creatures that have been excluded on their behalf.

when it comes to dragons, I felt that only sylvan dragons were too redundant in H5, as they were in H3. they are too similar to dungeon dragons, phoenix might have been better.

Quote: I am not sure about having pictures done of the Elemental Dragons, they are Gods and thus are spiritual so one is not supposed to know what they look like in physical form.....
Maybe in the story you will meet them. Something like the "Dwarves' God" in H5ToE, except this time they aren't just bigger versions of tier 7 dragons.
Or maybe the creatures in the artworks are avatars of the Dragons Gods, and not the Dragons themselves.

Thanks for the response, but I'm a bit confused. If I buy the digital copy, will it be available for download the night of the 8th (or morning of the 9th)? I plan to buy digital since I live in the US. And I think a day off from work to play games is a great idea! I haven't had a good new game to play in a long time, and I wouldn't feel like I had just wasted the weekend if I played on Friday instead

Games can go gold one week before release date. Ubisoft has a tendancy to have games going gold 10-15 days before which seems about right with the 2nd phase of beta ending on August, 20th + a week to fix the last bugs + 13 days = September, 8th

Asha looks awesome, pretty much like I imagined her.
Urgash looks like crap, doesn't capture the majestic or fearful feeling of an ÜBERGOD at all.
Kinda surprised they made art of those two, thought they were gonna stay all mystic and stuff.
