According to the storyline, none of the Fortress people except the Hydras made it through the destruction of the world; the hydras asked the dungeon Overlords if they could join their ranks when they heard they'd traded Harpies for Orcs with the Stronghold, 'cause it was unusual for the Overlords to accept such a bad trade (let's face it, harpies are way better than orcs) and they figured that if they'd let the orcs in, they'd let the hydras in, 'cause the hydras were their allies previously (in Heroes II). And sure enough the Overlords welcomed them back. The Fortress people other than the hydras who went back to the Overlords didn't make it through, though, so technically the Fortress isn't supposed to be coming back... But who knows, maybe some of the creatures made it through some random portals, especially the flyers. *shrug*

This is absurd, you can't just trade rases. All rases have individuals, and noone can make them all want the same thing. As for the "only the hydra got away" that's just stupid. The hydra can hardly move! By the logics, they should be the only ones who COULDN'T get away. Also, the medusa are technically gorgons, so a lot of gorgons also got away. And how could they even think of removing the basilisk, which was the big highlight of the mostly boring heroes III? They did a large mistake and gave them legs, but the basilisk was one of the most feared and most known mythology creatures! I would trade them against dragons to get them in!

how about the largest,meanest,demon hydra you have EVER seen.....That would be sweet. I would also like som fatality options. Like when a hydra kills of a stack of 15 pikeman(when the last one dies) he eats him while he screams hysterical! now i would pay too se THAT happen. Just hope the artist'(s) who made heroes 4 creatures looks so bad doesnt work for ubisoft. I am also scared to see how they will pull of the 3D graphic scheme. I wanna see fear in my oponents eyes when my Hydra comes Thundering trough a swamp-like themed battleground. I hope they can pull of something of the creatures in....Warhammer 40 000 Dawn of war. Those are some High-Detailed Good-Ass-looking creatures! Seen the gigantic Avatar just take a 360 spin with his flamesword making the enemies fly screaming over the battleground? Awesome.

Well, this would of course arise the needed age - btw: isnt 40k futuristic and therefore not that fitting in here?  - well, it would be really scary what u wnna do with the hydra but I think, that should be an en/disableble function - maybe some peeps/parents wouldnt like it^^

Nice to hear. What i ment by the Warhammer 40 000OW comparison was that even if the game has 100 units onscreen at the same time, the amount of detail on the units are fantastic! Also when they switch to 3d the animations should be more alive than the "doll" like animations of the 2d fighting ground(h2-h4)

Fortress Units live! true, the hydra was the only one who made it through the main portal, but the other creatures were attacked by raveging bezerkers. without hydras to help them they fled. they met, healed, and asked for help from, a dying ogre magi. He created a portal, but at the time they were about to come through, a wave of molten lava came at them. the dragon flys and wyvrens helped some, but not all could get through, especialy the gorgons. the ogre magi tried to slow time down, but he messed up. he sent them through time instead, and they found themselves drifting through nothingness. they ended up getting through the portal, but they found themselves ahead of their time. about the same time, the leader of the hydras made a flippent remark about overlord battle tactics, and the hydras were forced out of their home. by a "coinicdence" the old fortress creatures met up again. that was the time when a dark curse followed the hydras, and was about to destroy them, when a brave bassilisk stopped the blow. though he and the rest of his kind lost their legs, they learned to move like snakes. the lizard men evolved a bit, and became snake men. so they rebuilt the fortresses, and Heroes 5 began.

Well, you see, what actually happened was that they were having a large feast when the blades clashed. Then, suddenly, a sudden flash came through the air, followed by fire rain. The earth cracked, and the sky turned all red. All the beast lords ran fast to some portals they found, they were really scared, and that's why so many of them are still found in other hero classes in hommiv. Since they had ran from theyr town, they didn't dare to stay with their old creatures, so they found new ways.
Back at the feast, the witches started collecting all the creatures to get them out. It all went well, until they found out the hydra were going way too slow. They all used all their powers to drag the hydra faster towards the portals, but it all seemed worse and worse. When they finally reached the portals, all the hydra were sent through first, so they could guard the other side in case there were danger there. But the biggest hydra of them all, Blobby the second senior, got really worried. What if the portal sent them to somewhere really dangerous? He didn't want to go, so then, the rest pushed him towards the portal. They were too many for him, he couldn't do any resistance. Now it was really getting dark. When he reached the portal, they found out he rally WAS big. He couldn't get through, but he couldn't get back either. He also blocked the way for the others, and the nearest portal was 10 000 miles away. That's why the fortress creatures didn't get through. Then there came a big blast, first pushing Blobby through, then crushing the portal. The frotress people really got scared.
But then, they thought, what if the explotions soon would stop, and it would be livable again? Because most people had escaped, they would almost have an entire world for themselves. They were all used to living in harshe places.
So, when the chaos stopped on the planet (they found out the prophesy about the swords clashing only was about a temporary disaster), they really were the rulers, and they made a really large capitol. But then, after some years, they found out: A lot of barbarians that didn't go through also was getting along on the planet again!
To be continued, this epic novel

The fortress creatures decided to make peace with the barbarians, and for a while they lived in harmony. but then a hero who had been lost in the wilderness with a small army (including hydas) attacked the barbarian castle. the barbarians fought back bitterly. in the end the beastmaster had to flee. he returned to his castle, only to find it under seige. he snuck into his castle and helped with the plans to defeat the barbarians. however, the barbarians were to strong, and just when all seemed lost, a giant green dragon, followed by hords of the other dragons that did not make it through, came to the aid of the fortresses. doing so, the barbarians were defeated. To Be Continued...

After this happy turn of fate, the Fortress people made an alliance with the green Dragons and they soon got used to swampy lands - So the Swamp-Dragon came up (evolution brings up many things). Now the Fortress-people had their Swampdragons and Hydras. It soon was clear that the Dragons were a bit stronger, so the Hydras had to step back in rank of the troops. The Dragons became more snaky then before and they looked a bit like giant Wyverns with arms and the ability to spit fire. But The Golddragons didnt wnat to stay in the Fortress, they turned back to the Forests and cliffs for a life in neutrality. After some research and experimenting with liquids and such stuff, the witches Mirlanda and Verdish discovered that their Swampdragons could evolve into larger beasts called Swampthrashes. They would lose there ability to fly, but their legs strengthen and their cry would be able to scare the heck out of any opponent. Their fire would be of a mysterious blue (remember fortress mageguild) and would be dead-cold, freezing their poor victims. Now they were sure, nothing could stop them!
