ogres/trolls/cyclops will NEVER be represented by a female in my book.
orcs... maybe...
goblins HECK YEAH! goblins are weak like (some) women and they use more ranged weapons because of their fear of close combat fighting.


Why is that a reason for them to be a female in your book? There are also weak males. By the same thought Cyclops could also be represented as female as they are strong like (some) women?

Anyway, you'll deny that the above statement of yours is sexist but it is actually very obviously sexist, so I won't argue.

Please don't quote PARTS of what is said. Read what I said after that quote: IN MOST GAMES GIRLS ARE RANGED AND GUYS ARE MELLE. So the truth is that I was wrong about the troll (Heck I never saw H2 troll as a girl) but still ogres and cyclops are mostly males because giant hulking women are strange to the human mind. Example: In WWE (wrestling) most guys are really muscled but girls tend to look like a normal girl.

Quote:
It's not an issue of no female units but of female units of traditional brutish races that I do not agree with. I mean a troll, orc, goblin, ogre etc warrior is better off male. Now if we're talking shaman, shooter or a non-brutish amazon - that's another tale.

A rather conservative opinion from a normally, not so conservative man. I do understand that when we meet a "Greenskin" it is in most cases male. But many times I have encountered Females, especially goblin ones, that have been rather dominating their male counterparts

Glory isn't a flyer as far as I know.

ah? well, I thought it was a bit lame that all  high level units could fly in haven

Quote:
Pit Lord is melee and I don't know where you read that the Succubi is a flyer

I remember seeing her flying for 1 or 2s in a video. when it comes to the pit lord, I'm thinking of the boundless rage ability, which may damage enemies from far?

Quote:
Cyclops can be ranged as well, and goblins can fly (when thrown by a cyclops, but not sure they survive the flight )

ah like in H5?

Quote:
Vampire are not flyers. Ghosts aren't shooters.

but vampire can teleport, no? wouldn't be bad for once, if vampire had to walk. for the ghost, I was thinking of its healing ability, which may damage adjacent enemies.

Haven's shooter is the crossbowman, flyers are Angels, Griffins and Sun Crusaders and maybe Glories though I doubt they have 4 flyers.

Necropolis has Skeletons and Liches as pure ranged creatures, and Ghosts, Lamasu and Vampires as flyers.

Sanctuarys shooter is the Ice Maiden and flyers are the Kappa and the Kirin.

Strongholds flyer is the Harpy and its ranged attacker is the Centaur and maybe the Goblin.

Inferno does not have a flyer but some can teleport. The Succubus and Breeders are their shooters.

You know,the ogre mages from H4 were female(at least their names were translated into the female version of "mage" in some languages).

With the Beta about a month away (according to the most recent information which is always possibly subject to change) I wonder what kind of news they got lined up, they got 4 to 5 weeks to burn before we get to dig through a lot of stuff our selves, I hope they won't use that as an excuse to tighten the tap.

lets hope for some real in-game stuff, and not just "About the developers" stuff which is just pointless and boring

I am really hoping to see a Sanctuary VS Inferno combat video.

Now that is a good idea, would be nice if we could get a full 10 to 20 minute mid-late game battle of some serious armies.

I enjoyed watching that video about the music and voice actors but that is good for now and I agree that the should release a combat video and a map video without comments and stuff like that.

About the voice acting video ... Sad for me was the day when heroes became "story driven and character centric".

I guess that's another matter of taste. I enjoy it when there's both strategy and a plot worth a damn, personally.

What's not to understand about that? The artist blatantly used celebrities and specific images as a reference. It's not really a credit to them as an artist, but it's hardly a problem.

I alerted them. They seem to take it seriously, but I don't think I can say much without breaking the NDA.

Anyone who is actually interested in gameplay,strategy, replayability and multiplayer? I could'nt care less about the story and characters. Who's going to play the campaign after 3 weeks anyway?

However it seems that these delays mean they want to balance the game enough before launching which is good news. + I consider the town menu to be a hooray for multiplayer games. It clearly indicates that they want us to spend more time on adv map and not sitting around in town looking at horses galloping in jousting grounds.

To be fair, plot != character personality. I always liked the old games, where it was more about war and politics, and not so much about the personality of all the heroes.
