And even flirted with the Infernopolis *shudders*. I think that if Dragons, Harpies and Manticores can join an underground faction, so does the Gargoyle. It certainly has room enough to maneuver in those vast caverns.
It's not about flying but the environment that doesn't fit them. Dragons, Harpies and Manticores can make lairs in caves. But the Gargoyles need to perch on these tower tops where they have a good view of the vast lands and cities.

I'd argue that the HOMM5 Dungeon was more than suitable in that respect. Hanging dwellings, huge statue buildings, natural crevices...

That was just one design to give you a basic idea about the Dark Elven culture, architecture and generally sense of fashion. Not every city was the same.

True but I'd still expect it to be a representative of what should be expected in Ygg-Chall architecture.
BTW, which gargoyle are talking about? HOMM2? 3? 4? Not 5 I hope...
P.S. I like this conversation, but the way we have been derailing the thread, Anna will probably unleashing 5 games' worth of Academy and Dungeon creatures on us in very short order.

Yup, Parapet is the way to go. Oh come on, you can't dislike that! H3 did it first!

What is Parapet?
btw the way it is going, I think I should have put "...except for the Minotaur" and "...except for the Titan" in these thread's titles.

I don't remember the death animation of the H1 gargoyle,
but wasn't gargoyles organic creatures prior to H3?

Well, we're gonna have factions without Dragons, Haven without Archangels and Inferno without Devils. Who says that Academy won't lose their Titans?
Well, they said that there are factions that will have dragons, Haven don't have archangels but still have "angels", so no big difference, and Devils disappeared because of the word itself, I believe. Besides, Pit Lords are better than any Devil that came from any HoMM game.
I doubt we won't see them again in Academy.
About the poll, I voted on Rakshasa.

The cool Pit Lord from H5 or the obvious balrog rip-off from H6?

definitely the pit lord from H6, in terms of appearance it's my favorite unit in the game.

Voted Genie, because to me that's a much more important unit for the faction identity then the Titan.
I'd actually be fine with it if they left out mages, they're the heroes already anyway.

Both. I don't care if it's a rip-off since HoMM is the only fantasy genre franchise that I play

Anyone else thinks the Devil from H5 looks hilarious? Just look at those big feet, the Captain America chin, and the smile on his face Thank god they got rid of this ridiculousness in H6
but the devil from H3 on the picture Avirosb posted must be the funniest devil ever created  Just look at that red guy with a naughty smile and black beard, actually that's the Arch-devil my bad. The devil is even worse with that hideous outfit:

I can agree with you on that.
So... Are we gonna do Sylvan next, or does no one care about those tree-hugging hippies?
EDIT: And now I disagree with you again

An Academy/Wizard faction without Titans doesn't really work for me. But I hope they choose a different design than in Heroes V, the Titans there looked somehow strange.
I also hope Golems, Genies and some sort of Mages return, for me they simply belong to this faction.

Heroes 2/3 Titans were quite nice...and Academy without titans is as awesome as Necropolis without vampires: in other words, not very.
The funny thing, however, is that two of the new champion units have usurped the Titan's previous role: the only tier 7 shooter in the game.
The cyclops now upgrades to a shooter, which was exactly what happened with the traditional giant -> titan upgrade. The fate spinner/weaver transforms into a shooter form which mirrors the fact that the titan had no melee penalty.
I'm curious how they'll work it out. It would be lame if half of the factions had a champion-level shooter.

I think the second Cyclops upgrade was a shooter in H5. Plus it could throw goblins too.
