Quote:
Having plain wolves into a faction, wether they were monstrous or not, is a bit underwhelming. The main reason that wolf unit from H1 and 2 changed into Wolf Rider in H3, was this kind of thinking. Besides, wolf is often described as a ravenous predator and in myths symbolizes hunger. That hardly fits the dwarves. Wolves best serve as low level neutrals, which they were in H5.

Never said plain wolves I said “wolves especially bread for war”, by bread meaning trained to follow command and raised to incorporate different traits (bigger and more vicious are kept and bread while weak and docile not or used for other means) given some freedom, but when going to war they will attack and listen when called by their trainer, and the upgraded ones would have armor and also I said based on Fenrir meaning an unnaturally physiognomy/or some magic involved in it's creation.

Axe Wielder (level 1)
Defender (level 2)
Brawler (level 3)

Elite
Spirit Bear (level 4)
Rune Priest (level 5)
Thunderbird (level 6)

Champion
Magma Dragon (level 7)


Hmm personally not that found of the Brawler, but would have looked a lot better that it is now.
Spirit bear similar to the one in NWN MoB would be AWSOME; I really loved the character and was always in my party whenever I played MoB. (Wishful thinking)

Quote:
It's not that Thanes looked similar to dwarves, Thanes WERE Dwarves! Read their background story.


Read there description, no-wear motioned this, also found some Q&A before or after the launch of the faction (not sure, but are you referring to it) it goes like this:
Quote:
Q: It seems some of the dwarves will look like gigantic dwarves, is it due to game player design?
A: One of the dwarf units is a giant dwarf indeed - ending up as quite a normal height. We are talking about the Thane, who is a clan elder, a warrior imbued with magical abilities. They actually need to be quite big if they want to be able to wield the huge axe they carry around. This axe is imbued with magical runes of thunder and his allows them to add a chain lightning effect to each of their strike or to cast once per battle a Storm Bolt attack.


Full article can be found hear

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Heroes-of-Might-and-Magic-V-Hammers-of-Fate-Dwarf-Interview-37244.shtml

Quite frankly it makes no sense his clan elder so it big … I mean … it’s no real explanation is like:  there big …. Yea well they have to carry a big ax so there big o and also they're clan elders …. (P.S. Neither Hangvul nor King Tolghar seamed big, and they are elder rulers, in their cut scene so it makes absolutely no sense, and in the creature portrait it looks quite young for an elder only the upgraded versions look elder).

To close up, Than give me the felling of lack of thorough thinking or at list the effort to give them a beater background story than what’s given, and I for one will stick with my opinion but I will respect yours also.

Quick wee need a topic or the Dwrven madnes kills us all.

What shall wee do? what shall wee do? Panic! Panic!

I got one :-)

Neutrals. For my their are vital for the game to have a wide spectrum of combats. But till now, we only have 3 bosses, the phoenix and some hints about elementals. Wee need more, and wee want to know more....

Could you just give us a number Elvin I don't know 15 neutrals plus 10 bosses. Are the neutrals going to by purchasable on the map like in H2-3. Will there be a neutral demon, orc or undead?

Yes, well, it's not so much of a phoenix, but it's still cool
I was hoping it would be in h6 academy, like in clash of heroes, but seeing as academy isn't the 4th faction...
I suppose I'll mod it and place it in Academy when it appears in an add-on. Unless they make titans über-cool

I think Phoenix fits Academy perfectly...
They create Half-Beasts/Orcs animate Golems/Gargoyles and Titans
why can't they control a Phoenix..!

Was watching some videos from dark messiah this afternoon. Beware of SPOILERS!

Did I ever tell you how much I loved the cyclops battle? Seems the H6 one is closer to the DM version.

Epic bug! Phenrig your mentor and Menegal in Stonehelm were apparently wizard demon-cultists. The skull of Shadows during H6 is possibly in the temple where Sareth retrieved it, one of the Pao islands I'd guess. The orcs in DM are island orcs, not the ones we got in tote.

Also you probably remember the naga statues and naga silksword Take a look here. Love the last few moments before Sareth 'dies', the naga hallucination is great How much I loved Arantir..

She looks more to be a Fate Weaver than a Naga though. Which would be fitting as the temple is one of Asha.

Yeah I always thought that was a statue of the spider-goddess rather than a Naga.

Hahaha, had no idea you could kick him during that cutscene, too bad there wasn't a chasm behind him or something so I could scream THIS IS SPARTA everytime I start a new game

Indeed, check here at 10:05. I watched the video first so I got confused

Had also forgotten that the sword of the dragonclaw was a dragon knight weapon.

But I think she has one pair of extra arms but knifes are alike 0.0

Well, the number of legs/arms aren't constant.

Fate Spinner human form: 6 arms/2 legs
Fate Spinner spider form: 2 arms/8 legs

Fate Weaver human form: 6 arms/ 2 legs (or maybe more)
Fate Weaver spider form 2 arms /10 legs

Maybe that's a diferent kind of spider like asha's avatar

I always thought that was a naga statue, but the fate spinner now give a new lite when you pointed it out.

Then a few words DM can be really fun with amazing atmosphere and soundtrack, also graphics. However be warned that the storyline is pretty basic and even cheesy at times. There are numerous ways of killing your enemies by using your environment such as kicking towards a chasm, cutting the ropes that hold a chandelier in the ceiling, make enemies fall into spikes spikes, douse them in oil and set them on fire, many possibilities. You can level up your hero as a warrior, assassin or wizard You get a few skill points per checkpoint.

Dark messiah is the best first person experiance there is. The feel in the game is just amazing, to bad though it's kinda short and there is short supply of enemies. :/

@Elvin
Haha Arantir is only a a shadow in comparison to Sareth. But he has style I can give him that.
Actually the necromancers and especially their architecture in DM is looks awesome.

They took a lot of inspiration from DM: Ghouls, Cyclops and Fate S/W and probably more.
So, just for curiosity, did DM came before or after Tribes of East?

I have to see a walkthrough of the game (I'm not really a fan of first person games).
