Poll Question:
What do you think of the new H5 units fo far?
It looks like the authors took alot of affort to create many of those units, but not much consideration...
The infernos look very powerfull, and i'm quite impressed with the work on the Succubus, but also very very dumb - the devil, the hounds, the horned demon, imp and the fiend (70%?).
The Necropolis look very green but everyone already knows that...
The *good* town must Haven, have nice graphics and specialized units for every situation which gets 9/10 if u ask me. the Sylvan look boring for me, i don't know why, but it's like inventing the wheel again and again... (actually for most towns is like that - same units, same abilities, different graphics)
so my main feedback is that H5 doesn't look all that impressive and makes me want to play it (sure the graphics are great, but that's not enough nowdays)
What your opinion?

i like the succubus alot, hope she can fly (but i'm not sure with those mess up wings) if she can then we'll finally have our first flying shooter (plus that range counter and chainfire attack, she's gonna make one hell of a unit)

Although it can't be much worse than HOMMIV when it comes to animations, the graphic style is (worse), I think.
As I said from the very first time we were given artwork, I didn't like the way the units looked. Everyone said "don't worry, they're not gonna look like that in the game". Well, guess what. I was right all along.
This looks like a predecessor to Morrowind or something, a game which isn't exactly state of the arts (anymore).
I miss the artistic touch. These creatures look very generic 3D steroid-amped out-of-proportion something.

They're fine. Some units have bad look and some units are greater than ever.

Yeah the zoomed screenshots look terrible... but parhaps it's unnatural angle in the game so it's not that bad, same goes for warcraft3. It looked nice at the "Strategic angle" while was plain awefull in the perspective angle... (How warcraft 3 keeps to pop up in this forum all the time? :-) )

Yes, as a player of Heroes 4 I can assure Evil Eyes could fly over the castle walls too... since they were flying creatures.

Well you're not really correct, since at the combat field shooter can fly over a friendly unit and a slow enemy unit might not reach the shooter in one turn.

I guess you right also if you can fly over a obstacle or friendly unit you can protect them of the other shooters... nice to talk about H4

I think the graphics look good overall (esp adventure map), but i cant believe how they could leave some evident logical absurdities in creature design slip up. They distort and charicaturize the creatures to the point of completely spoilng ur visual experience.
edit: oh yeah, and the fact that some of them just plainly completely suck. (did i just feel anyone thinking angel in this moment?)

We need to establish one thing. There's no angel in the game. Call it however you like, but don't insult my sense of aesthetics. Notangel is a good start.

You've heard this a million times... well here it is again:
Those female dungeon units, ie blood sister and shadow witch are testaments to the designers' lack of understanding of normal "male thought process". Tight latex hooker clothes and 5 inch platform shoes (and not to mention those prickly bull whips) does not automatically arouse the male senses, especially when the subjects wearing them are pug ugly. Given that the designers themselves are most likely to be male, one would conclude that they possess an unhealthy sexual fetish along with the thought that it is completely normal.
