So? Who says they can't just make another hommage?
"Shiva was named after the venerated warrior Shiva who accomplished many incredible exploits, including raiding the Sunken Temple, finding
the Dragon Utopia, and surviving the deadly traps of the Tomb of a Thousand Terrors (see page 56)."

That would make things confusing, I think.
Also, something like Shiva the Younger does not have the same ring to it.

It wasn't a problem having multiple Crag Hacks in the same universe before.
Just give her an overly long-winded backstory to justify that characters may share the same name.
After all it's not like the first one was important (or memorable).

That might have been the same universe, but it was over multiple worlds. And even then, it still was mostly the same person within a reasonable human-lifespan.

I still don't think it's that big of a deal, I doubt most people remember the non-important "mercenary" heroes of H6 anyway.

You mean heroes recruitable in taverns who couldn't specialize between ketchup or mayonnaise ? Hell that was another awful decision.

Adelaide from Heroes III returned in Heroes VI btw, or atleast they're really similar.

I'm pretty sure that's fanart, but yeah, there was another hero by that name in H6, obviously inspired by the NWC counterpart.

Of course, the image of her full body is fanart, but the two portraits only showing her head and upper body, is CERTAINLY not, look in-game in Heroes 3 and Heroes 6.
''Adelaide's inclusion as a backstory character in Ashan is heralded by Might & Magic: Heroes VI, presumably as part of celebratory references to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Might and Magic series. Adelaide's addition is made in reference to the Adelaide of Heroes III and IV.''

 I actually didn't see that on account of the first picture being so big.
But yeah, that's basically what I meant.

Im unsure about the timeline, but Markhal was roughly 50years of age around H5.
Elaborate alittle for me
Sure. Markal is in 2 game H5 (Takes place at 969) where he is an old man, and CoH (takes place at 929) where he is a young adult (17-30).
H7 takes place around 843 aprox. 60 years before his birth and 120 before his death. There is no info that Markal became a lich/Vampire during his life, or that he undertook any other form of life preservation. So that is why he most likely not born yet. It is not a 100% certainty since the devs are free to retcom anything.
Well that makes it alittle more clear. Heh...
I was really hoping for him to return. But thats a long shot now..

I think Sorsha from H3 should return. She screams Justicar
*Sorsha* - Human Female Knight
*Skills*: Basic Leadership, Basic Offense
*Specialty*: Sorsha increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Swordsmen or Crusaders she commands for each level she attains after the 4th level.
*Biography*: Following Queen Catherine's example, Sorsha joined the ranks of the Erathian Military, quickly proving herself as a master of swordplay. She was granted her first command shortly after the Kreegans first arrived in Erathia.

This is how hero bios should be.
Clear and concise, not overly long with lots of superfluous world-building.

If I had to choose, I'd take quality over quantity any day.
That might just be me though.
