no sphinx
no sphinx, the shphinx would be a bad idea for a creature, maybe like in h2, the riddler i liked that idea, but not as a creature

I agree with Pluvious (Sorry, Incubus)
Unlike the posts Arachnid made, I read most of the posts Pluvious and Incubus made...
Y,y, I'm in Tymeria too
(hehehe --> www.tymeria.com)
I think Pluvious has got a good point: In HOMM you need any creature that's available, whatever weakness or profit it has... The start of a game is THAT important...
But...
When you've beaten the nearest neighbour in a game, then the argumentes Incubus has, come into play: Only strong (can't lose any battle) creatures come into play
(Shackles of War???) ...Incubus: Try this...
My point: I think HOMM3 is a well balanced game, and I hope HOMMM4 will be as well, that's the most important issue to me, whichever creatures or towns will be included!

i agree
I think that that the weaker units are essential to the game.
Consider this: Your weakest units is a lvl 4 unit, that means it'll cost more. Meanwhile the comp has a lvl 1 unit but they cost less, and he gets more of them each week. In the time it takes you to get maybe 10 of the lvl 4 creatures, the comp could already have over 100 of his lvl 1 creature and come and destroy you...
Bottom Line: Weak creatures are needed... even if its only for the first few weeks, their still needed...

Incubus, what do you mean when you say that Minotaur is only for the upgrade? Even without, the only level fives that compare are the Gorgon and the Roc, which are both more expensive and do less damage. And are level sevens "only for the upgrades?"
I don't mean to attack you, it's just that I diagree strongly.

Don't be afraid!
I won't bite!
Everybody just keep on saying (this is not to attack you) and stuff! pfff like you are afraid or something!
An incubus only steals the souls of beautiful maiden! >;o)
But i mean! I hate the minotaur but i love the minotaur kings LOOKS!
They should dump the minotaur and should ad the minotaur king in homm4 but call him minotaur..Just dump the upgrades! Not the upgrades but the basics!

Oookay, yeah, sure
First of all, I agree with El Diablo - wait, no maybe I don't. You don't have no life, its just that your life is the Heroes Community(as mine is Heroes itself). If you spend that much time on posts, though, how can you play Heroes?
Why change your name to Fallen Angel? It sounds so depressing, like long ago you commited a crime against a church or something!
HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! Sorry, its not that I'm anti-religious, I just cracked myself up writing that.

Hmmmm
Sphinxes might be an okay creature. It seems like they should be part of a desert town(NOT anything like Stronghold, though)or neutral. Wait, no, take that back. The only neutral creature I really ever purchase is the Azure Dragon.

And many creatures.
Look like the Homm creatures! Like the wolf raider is also an orc raiding a wolf...
There is also a Crypt lord! Half spider half monster... thats also a really cool creature! Don't forgot about wind serpents.. They look like phoenix!

What was this thread originally about..... oh, yes. 6 towns vs. 8 towns. I think that the 6 towns would be a lot better if they had the choose one creature for each level option. That way each town is like having two towns where you pick your favorite for each level. And every time you play against a town you won't know what creatures to expect, unlike Heroes 3.
BUT! I am totally against the 4 creature levels thing. 6 is okay, and 7 would be better. It's like 3do believes that level 1 creatures are worthless crap! They aren't. I have taken out 20 basilisks with 50 skeletons (the basilisks were in stacks of 3 and 4, it was against the computer). That was at the start of the game. Later in the game the lower level creatures gaurd mines, castles, are sacrifices in bigger battles, take away level 7 creatures retaliation strike, gaurd archers, take tower damage, horde and kill higher levels, and become Lightning Bolt magnets for the computer. Level 1 creatures have a lot of uses!

We human beings always think the final step. We love finish all, go to the end etc.
But what happens then ?
We sometimes lose a good thing : maybe it is a game maybe it is heroes
I love armageddons blade because 9 towns in it.
There are too many strategies too many things to do and learn
So I always defend this idea: More towns more strategy
more heroes !!!

8 towns better. more towns make more variation. so we can play multiplayer game with more person and none of the player are the same town.

Conflux was a good idea, they just coudnīt balance it good whit the other towns.
This should be a great combination of towns:
Good:
Castle (Humans)
Sylvan (Grand elfs)
Acardemy (Wizards/Dwarfs)
Neutral:
Tribe (Orcs)
Nest (Lizards)
Conflux (Elementals)
Evil:
Necropolis (Undead)
Rift (Kreegans/Cursed*)
Alcheron (Dark elfs)
*Cursed= Former overlords armies. I think they will be great in combination whit the kreegans!

It's amazing that this discussion came up for both Heroes 4 and Heroes 5. It shows that numerical quantities can catch a fan's eye and distract him from what is more important.

As they say, variety is the spice of life. HoMM 4 had too few towns. I say, the more the better. That way, everyone finds something they like.

I think the quality of races , units , heroes , skills and spells is more important than quantity of its . So , 6 well-balanced , carefuly disribed fractions where every unit has bright individuality are better than doubled quantity of its where many units are almost copies of another ones or some races are definitely more powerful than others .
