Tell you what, if people post their list of favourit representatives, I'll count the votes.


Easier to post the units I hate the most...

Haven = Peasants
-Ugly unit that is just there to be upgraded to something useful. The other units define Haven, this one does it not.

Academy = Gargoyles
-Ugly unit, which is actually useful... still... it is damn ugly. Gargoyles have switched town and alignment like mad, so they most certainly don't define the do-good-academy.

Dungeon = Minotaurs
-Rebel Minotaurs! Throw of yer yoke and be free! Sure, Minotaurs defined Dungeon in H3, but in H5 then Dungeon is a Night Elven city. The poor Minotaurs could safely be removed from that town, and allowed to create a neutral Beast-town (a comeback for the overlords).

Necropolis = Zombies
-Is this unit not dead yet? It is a redundant unit, when we now have not only the incorporeal Ghost, but also Skeleton Warriors, to shelter your Skeleton Archers.

I disagree...

Haven has a Knightly-do-good-image, where the Griffin play a central role in tabards and coat of arms. This more or less make every Haven unit, except Peasants, to a representative unit for that town. Instead of explaining why it is important to keep Priests, Griffins, Footmen, Angels, Inquisitors etc, it is easier (and shorter) to point out the one unit that sticks out as the odd one. Then of course, why I dislike this unit with passion, might be a bit irrelevant... but then again, so is the comments on why unit X must be the sole representative for a town.

In short, my post could be seen as a vote for every unit, except the units I mentioned... or in other words, if another person has voted for Peasants, Gargoyles, Minotaurs and Zombies, then subtract my vote from that one...

I'd say cyclopses are representetive of stronghold, sticking to that faction sice H1.
They were even lazer-eyed back then, switching role to a bulder-thtower in H3,H4.
H5 I think, sums up nicely the cyclopses of old by giving it the ability to shot lazer and to throw something if he wishes too.
anyway cyclopses ftw for stronghold.
As sylvan I'd say unicorns are very simbolic, almost as much as the elves.

However not all the tier 7 units were in the HoMM series from the begining.Even so that's what I also think...I agree.

Dungeon - Black Dragon , Minotaur
Academy - Titan, Archmage
Haven - Archangel, Cavalier
Inferno - I don't really reckon a representative creature...
Necropolis - Skeleton & Liches
Elves - Hunters
Stronghold - well.. let's say cyclops, yet I find the one from HoMM II better.
Fortress - Defender

Sorry for striking down the discussion with offtopic, but did any of You find the Magma Dragons utterly wrong choice for a final Dwarf creature?
