Poll Question:
A Town.....OF DARKNESS
Weather 3do reads these or not, I'm still going to post this. I'm sure just about everyone here has played homm3, and we all remember the castle town and it's creatures of good, right? Well, I decided out of boredom to write down all of the troops from homm3 ( excluding the conflux) and low and behold, somthing came to me. What if there was a twisted version of the castle town. I put much thought into it and came up with a list of creatures, their dwellings, and the type of hero's they might have.
DARK CASTLE
-------------
1st lv. WALLS OF PAIN: Spearmen >>> Impailers
2nd lv. ARCHERY RANGE: Bowmen >>> Poison Bowmen(poison bowmen have 20% chance of poisoning enemy with their arrows)
3rd lv. THIEVES GUILD: Thieves >>> Master Thieves
4th lv. TORTURE TOWER: Floggers >>> Executioners
5th lv. CHURCH OF DEATH: Dark Cardinal >>> Dark Pope(shooters, blasts of darkness from their staffs)
6th lv. DARK MANOR: Dark Knight >>> Dark Lord(fast, ride on horses.)
7th lv. GATES OF DARKNESS: Fallen Angles >>> Dark Angles
(-1 morale to enemies when present on the battlefield; flyers)
HEROES FOR DARK CASTLE
------------------------
MIGHT MAGIC
Assassin Dark Priest
Thats it for the Dark Castle. Now I want to know what you think. What should be different or is it fine the way it is. Go ahead. Start thinking about it.
Thanks,
Mighty Mage

Offtopic: Moderator's Note
The duplicate thread has been deleted. I will append the text of the 2 replies to it to this message to continue the discussion. Murphy and vladpopescu79(I can call you Vlad, I hope?) will suffer a slight drop in post count, but their thoughts at least will be heard.
Please be careful when you post, especially if you are creating a poll. Take a moment to review what you have said before you hit the 'Submit' button, and make sure it's what you wanted. Polls can't be edited as easily as normal posts. Thanks, and have fun ...

Reply from Murphy
sounds cool!
uh, you might wanna convert it into heroes 4 levels, or is it for heroes 3?

Reply from Vlad
Well, I recognize in the impalers the imps, in fallen angels the devil itself, and so on, not to say that the reverse of a heavenly town as the castle is certain to be the inferno... it differs only in names and titles...

Well Vlad (mightymage), I just wanna say I think your on to something. I do hope thing's are changed around a little when it come's to the alignment's. Some are just bland to me. I drag through campaine's w/stronghold's and swamp's.
(I'm not saying they are boring, I mean "I think" they are boring).

First things first...
Celfious, did you know that your username is Latin(the language of the ancient Romans) Dang, its been too long - let me dicine it:
Nominative :Celfious
Genitive: Celfioî
Accusative: Celfioum
Ablative: Celfiouô
Okay, now everyone thinks that Xenophanes is a crazy nut with no life other than declining Latin words - ah, well. My light must shine.
Now, the real thing:
The idea's okay, but I really think making up new towns is getting old now, with Heroes IV so close and everyone on the verge of breakthroughs with the Town lineups.

(Now that I've checked my dictionary)
Wow Xeno. I looked into that and I'm astounded. No, I had no clue it was lattin. I'm glad you knew. I commend your intellegence, and kindness-to let me know about that.
I'm gonna read more into it. To bad it mean's accusative!
Everything else is.. is an honur.
Back to it.
Yep yep.. I agree with you about it being to late for drastic idea's like changing around town's, but who know's, mabey we'll follow those idea's when (and if) Homm5 come's up

Well that just sucks all the fun out of it. I looked forward to seeing upgraded creatures. It gets me all excited inside to have a hero with archangels fighting another with just pitiful devils. And only 4 levels? by the way, would someone be kind enough to tell me what the towns and mosters that belong to them will be. I've heard they dropped some of the monsters and combined some towns. If things go like they did in homm3, then in any expansions they might bring back some of the monsters, and even some new towns.

p.s. I wanted to thank the moderator for deleating the bad post. Thanks

Well, I'm quite glad there won't be no more upgrading in hmm4. This was merely a headache in hmm3, having to walk the map back and forth to upgrade your army. And the differences were un-noticeable. I have to trouble myself for a couple of hp or an increase in speed. Only some troops were really a lot better when upgraded.More types of creatures is better than fewer with their upgrades. Just a thought.

I'm sure those spearmen, bowmen, and thieves get along really well with those creatures of evil higher up the chart..

I think that unit as Inquisitor, something opposite of the Paladin can find it's place here. He can be powerful warrior, but his army will suffer -1 morale because they fear him.
Also in Dark Gothic version of the Castle, as this one, the Gargoyles are suitable. They come from the cathedrals right?

I suppose that could work but in order to make Gargoyles come alive wouldn't you need some sort of Alchemist ability to animate them? I suppose you could use some sort of Dark or Chaos magic. You know another idea coes to mind, If 3DO does dump the Vampire from the Necro town, maybe it could go here. It couldbe in it's Vampire Lord form. The town would be sorta like Dracula's Castle or somthing.

Well those Gargoyles were connected with the Alchemists only in HOMM3. in HOMM1&2, and HOMM4, Gargoyles has nothing to do with the Alchemy.
So put them there in the line up
And think about Inquisitor hero.

Fallen Angel to Dark Angel... if you read the stories its better as the Fallen Angel to the Dark Angel.
Anyway, whens the last time youve seen an evil pope running around killing creatures.
My idea for an Evil Town:
Level 1: Fiends
Upg: Arch Fiends
Level 2: Lucifriges
Upg: Efreets
Level 3: Midians
Upg: Minions
Level 4: Demons
Upg: Devils
Level 5: Fallen Angel
Upg: Dark Angel
Heros: all ancient gods of the underworld/hell, including what we know as Satan or Lucifer.

I agree with the angel theory, That's very true. As far as the other two statements, The town isn't necessarly pure evil. Just not good. To answer the pope question, have you ever seen a monk go around and kill people? We did in Homm3. Besides, it's a dark pope not the good kind that blesses people and stuff. I also said this before, This town would be more of a gothic castle similar to how Dracula's castle was back in the day.
