Poll Question:
Evolution of the RAMPART
So, it's another "Evolution of..." 
Rampart. I think it's the second of most famous towns in Heroes of Might and Magic. I represents nature and life worship.
Heroes of Might and Magic I:
Creatures: Sprite, Dwarf, Elf, Druid, Unicorn, Phoenix. For details of Sorceress's creatures, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes1/sorceresscreatures.shtml
Heroes: Ariel, Astra, Carlawn, Gem, Luna, Natasha, Rebecca, Troyan, Vatawna. For more info of Sorceresses, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes1/magicheroes.shtml
Heroes of Might and Magic II:
Creatures: Sprite, Dwarf (upgrade- Battle Dwarf), Elf (upgrade- Grand Elf), Druid (upgrade- Greater Druid), Unicorn, Phoenix. Upgradeable creatures: Elf, Dwarf, Druid. For details, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes2/sorceresscreatures.shtml
Heroes:Ariel, Astra, Carlawn, Gem, Luna, Natasha, Rebecca, Troyan, Vatawna.
Heroes of Might and Magic III:
Creatures(unupgraded - upgraded):
Centaur - Centaur Captain
Dwarf - Battle Dwarf
Wood Elf - Grand Elf
Pegasus - Silver Pegasus
Dendroid Guard - Dendroid Soldier
Unicorn - War Unicorn
Green Dragon - Gold Dragon (+ WoG - Diamond Dragon) For more info, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesrampart.shtml
Heroes:
-Might: Clancy, Ivor, Jenova, Kyrre, Mephala, Ryland, Thorgrim, Ufretin.
-Magic: Aeris, Alagar, Coronius, Elleshar, Gem, Malcom, Melodia, Uland.
For details of Rampart's heroes, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/heroesrampart.shtml
Music: http://rapidshare.de/files/18213336/RAMPART.MP3.html
IMO, very good for Rampart. It is the character of this town.
Heroes of Might and Magic IV:
Creatures: Sprite, Wolf, Elf, White Tiger, Griffin, Unicorn, Faerie Dragon, Phoenix. For details of Rampart's creatures, see: http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes4/creatures_nature.shtml
Heroes:
-Might: Anium, Blackdog, Callis, Erensar, Fathrim, Gillion, Ignatius, Ivor, Kyrre, Melrith, Ryland, Theritos, Avanine, Enathrae, Gwedmyr, Ilia, Jenova, Kamiana, Lindette, Mephala, Neska, Pyral, Shyn, Snowjay, Trinni. For more ifno, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes4/heroes_archers.shtml
-Magic: Aeris, Braebar, Brook, Coronius, Derden, Elleshar, Farnivon, Gathran, Gue, Iscandel, Kaliki, Lowell, Yesterfox, Aleta, Arebell, Eleece, Gem, Labetha, Melodia, Oris, Regina, Saleena, Sannah, Tonwen, Vianne. For more info, see:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes4/heroes_druids.shtml
Music: http://rapidshare.de/files/18723361/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_IV_-_Town_Nature.mp3.html
Good, but not good enough for Nature town, I think.
Heroes of Might and Magic V:
Creatures(unupgraded - upgraded):
Pixie - Sprite
Blade Juggler - War Dancer
Wood Elf - Grand Elf
Druid - Druid Elder
Unicorn - Silver Unicorn
Treant - Ancient Treant
Green Dragon - Gold Dragon
For details, see: http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/sylvan_creatures.shtml
Heroes(demo):Alaron, Anwen, Dirael, Ergar, Findan, Gilraen, Ossir, Talanar, Vinrael, Wyngaal, Ylthin. For more info, see:http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/sylvan_heroes.shtml
Music:http://rapidshare.de/files/18725205/Sylvan_theme.ogg.html
Nearly ascetic, tribal music, very good for the new character of Sylvan.
So, vote! Vote for creatures, moods, climate, playability, music, character of the town, itc.!

In terms of creature, looks and music, H2 Sorcs is the best.
The Phoenix glowing looks is stunning. Its death animation is also perfect. Especially the part when it turns into dust. Anyway Phoenix are the fastest units in the game IMO.

Nice thread  idea!
HOMM I is just too simple, but we have to remember it's the 1st HOMM game! not bad for 1996!
HOMM IV just plain sucks IMO. It's a serious step back!
HOMM V, I haven't played yet, but one thing that hinders it from the start is the alien looking butugly Treant! change it Nival! please...!
But the new graphics do make it look great, and from what most say for now, it's a solid and powerfull town.
Now the real battle is between HOMM II & HOMM III.
HOMM II is ine of the best HOMM games ever, and it is a big leap foreward from HOMM I. It's beautiful, fun and just a good old classic.
HOMM III is my all time favorite HOMM game (especialy Armageddon's Blade with the Conflux, but the Archangel's gem cost screws Castle prety badly). The town looks wonderfull, even more realistic then the new HOMM V town! the backround, and some other parts of the town are real nature photos, and all the buildings look real! (check out the Pegasi statue dwelling and the Dragon Cliff).
The town is also very strong and usefull. IMO HOMM III is best, so that's my vote

HOMM 3 Rampart is the most beautiful town in any HOMM game IMHO.

I agree with Wiseman (he is wise...)
The HOMM III Rampart is one beautifull town! the real nature pictures are very well integrated into the whole town view and it look real! aalmost all the structures look real and not drawn or computer generated (well except the dendroid arches IMO).
No town in any other game could replicate this beauty and realistic looks!

I really LOVE the look of the rampart each time.
As for HoMM I, the Mage Guild really RUINS the picture. HoMM II is very nicely done, and III is even better (Was that possible) but it lacked the sprites, who should ALWAYS be in the Nature castle. IV had a nice castle, but it was too...brownish, and V....just superaffengeil (As they say in Germany).
But as for the units, I'd stick with a mix of the several HoMM. The V Sprite, the IV Unicorn, the V Elf, the II Druids, the II Phoenix, the III Silver Pegasus...
Too hard to choose.

heroes 2 sorceress has both the most beautiful town, the most beatiful music and the most beautiful creatures. It gets my vote. h3 town on the other hand has an amazing oriental scenery, even the architecture of the town is oriental and the music fits in perfectly. the rest are ok.

I think I love the H3 rampart the most. It just makes me think of some hidden valley with all the cliffs and mist. Also the buildings are reminiscent of ancient Japanese architecture which is cool too. I can't really make a judgement about the H5 town since I haven't seen it in 3D yet, but it seems like it will be cool.

aaargh ... I can't decide on this one. The Heroes II rampart was my favorite, because it was so totally cute. Loved all the small details and the rainbow. 
The Heroes III is really amazing, great and really naturelike back droppings. Love it ... it is slightly on the dull side, however, with all the mists ... but very well done.
Heroes IV was really good also - especially with the Pyre (or whatever its name was) in the middle. I remember that was the first shot I ever saw from Heroes IV, and I still love it.
Heroes V is also excellent ... Very lifelike, better graphics than the rest, but the others have so much atmosphere also ... really can't decide.

The H5 Rampart needs more green stuff...Too much water too little grass and trees and bushes.
Mayhaps someone will mod it in the future

I voted the H3 one, i would have voted for the H5, but I went so mad when they changed treants to some kind of sticks . And I like centaurs in H3.
