Mixed races?A new era of HOMM??
Oh god,it is a real chaos now in the world of HOMM4
The Centaurs with barbarians?Griffins with Elves?
This mixture of races is really disgusting.......
The worst is that Devils and Undead are together now...
What do ya think?
I hope there's really an add on later........of course,with new races~~~

Well.. the devils and other inferno creatures sound like an evil race of units.. And the undead don't look like they have any good intentions either.. so an evil alliance of forces? Makes sense.
Keep in mind, that the alignment system really can't allow for Inferno to be a separate town.. unless they add a water town. So the only way to keep them in is to mix them with undead forces as one alignment.

Makes perfect sense to me.
The centaurs, being mightily peeved at losing their bows got approached by the barbarians, who said "Well, we ain't got no bows, but we'll let yah t'row yer spears. Plus, we'll give yah all dese mohawk haircuts so youse can look like a cross betwixt Mr. T and Mr. ED!"
Meanwhile, the griffons, annoyed with all the chanting those silly monks do, and really peeved to discover the ballista was going to be a unit, decided to move to the peace and quiet of the Preserve. (Only to discover those silly sprites giggling could be just as annoying ... and the leprechauns are always singing dismal songs about the Auld Sod.)
Glad I could clear it up.

I think creatures should be where they were in HOMMII. That just felt so intuitively right.

I can bet that if you wuold have played H4 and than H3(who plays in reverse order but anyway) you would think the opposite: Griffins with Humans? And centaurs with elves?? What have they thought?

Griffins seem to keep shifting allegiance with every sequel.. Next they will probably be in stronghold.

It's VERY STUPID!
Griffins are very loyal... but if they see a horse(Think about UNICORN) they can't be stoped because they LOVE horsemeat..(Same would be with champion)
Harpies love choas and aren't neutrall... they are 1000% evil.
Nomads are Neutrall
Centaurs aren't out of place....
Demons and Undead mix can't be possible.
While Undead uses the bodies of the killed to make minions from, the Demons like to eat and destroy the whole body! This is a bad mix!
Black/Choas Dragons HATE humans so much they will never EVER join a team with humans or elves or dwarves in it..
Pirate/Rogue... LOL
Efreet and Nightmare are REALLY Out of place and should be in a new Inferno town...
Hydra should be in a new Foretress town...
Mantis are evil untamable creatures... Don't go with Peacefull Preserve...
Phoenix would burn the WHOLE forest down...
White Tigers are creatures of ORDER not NATURE
Pokemon are ugly and shouldn't be in the game At all!
A meat eating plant in preserve? Shouldn't that be in a EVIL town?
Just some stupid combinations..

I actually like the griffins in the Castle Town. The didn't really seem evil to me. Also, I'm sure that Incubus guy would agree that they should have replaced Crusaders in the Haven. Devils should be in the Death town. Their faces are more skeletal now, so therefore they look dead.

to begin with, homm2 creature combinations seemed fitting to me almost every time.
centaurs were barbarians in mythology like cyclops, etc, weren't they? i guess it depends on the meaning of barbarianism in homm4. wolves with elves instead of with barbarians looks much more questionable.
as far as i remember, the position of asylum corresponded to the elemnt water, and the position of necro to fire, but i doubt the elements in the pentagram can be interpreted that straightforwardly. i would rather say that humans seriously rearranging the world balance in homm3, leading to a situation that is ugly to look at.
pesonally, i doubt it has been a good idea to try to force the same system all over the world, maybe that applies even to the peantagram system. e.g. in homm2 most creatures didn't have upgrades, and the creatures that did have upgrades were reasonably chosen. in homm3 every creature had one upgrade and i think that was a mistake. in homm4 they have no upgrades, but a choice betweeen two creatures every time. surely, the order town should be very systematic, but is being systematic really necessary every time if it doesn't seem to produce the best results?
