Hey there... glad to see the site up and running after the 2 month absence. (sorry about the poor spelling, I'm a bit tired)

Anyway, I don't really have many new suggestions to make. If you look over the back months I think I've written to the site at least seven times or so, and I'm glad to see so many great ideas bubbling around. Of course, there are some that I don't agree with, but I'm sure that a lot of people don't agree with mine.
Personally, I don't mind seeing "good" and "evil" units fight together but I think there needs to be something that connects them... some kind of emblem or symbol to show that they are going against their nature. (hmmm... that sounds kind of confusing) For instance, if there are angels fighting for an "evil" hero such as a necromancer, then the unit should look corrupted, maybe dressed in black, or wearing chains, or with broken wings or something. If magogs are fighting for a "good" hero, they should be wearing shining armor or something to show that they are "reformed".

Once again, congradulations on all the great suggestions... I was especially impressed with all the work that WESLEY put in on the new monster table. There were some darn good ideas, (minus the robot/droid thing) and I only hope that 3do doesn't roll back the release date so they can incorporate them all ;o)

Thanx again for all your work on this wonderful site

Hello it's me again!

I saw some cool screenshots!
There were few new creatures and some old. I saw a unicorn with rainbow manes and a black horse with red hair (I think it's a Nightmare) A gold golem sorceres zombies, Giant apes, Black dragons, And a metal/gold dragon. There are some more but i can't remember them they all on a german site so if you have a search machine just type Heroes of might and magic 4 screenshots and you should be able to find them.
Forget about that table. They should put al the old heroesIII characters in it +The armageddons. And some new once like the Nightmare, Yeti, Sfinx, Succubus and Incubus,Amazon, Valkeyrie, Spider Queen and Scorpion King, Some sea creatures like Kraken Leviathan and Sea snakes/dragons Mermaids Sirens Kenau and Mermaids. A fallen Angel should be cool to.
When i saw the mummie 2 film there where some cool characters for heroes! Like the scorpion king himself the little cannibals know as flayers or Stygian dolls. And the anubis warriors! Banshee and 4 armed giants (Shokans) Cat woman and balrogs. Ents a chimera and the beautiful Couatl wererat the rook and the giant rats bats spiders scorpions from the Might and magic series. Others that really must be in it: Druid,Dryad, Ghoul, Grim Reaper? Satyr, Hind (half Stag half Human), Bee Queen, Ice Queen, Scylla, A kobold that can shapeshift, Leprechaun, Light Elemental, Shade, Mantray(A giant In sand living Ray), Necromancer, Nemean Lion with his strong skin, Oblivan Knight, Paladin, Ooze, Samurai, Salamander, Sasquatch, Yeti , Scarab, Scarecrow, Seawitch(half octopus half lady), T.rex, Treworm, Vampire Hunter, Werewolf, Will o Wisp, White Wale, Wendigo and a Abonimation (a kind of frankenstein).
I hope they will put in many of these new creatures expessially the succubus! She is one of my favorits.

What would be really cool is that you put an editor for artifacts or spells in the map editor so that we could modify the artifacts and spells you already put in the game to give more access to player who make maps ....

Also you could implant a castle creator for experienced user giving more variaty to maps ....

I also think you should add more combinations of set artifacts ... for example the 3 three magic resistance artifacts could become one that would work better depending on the level of you Magic res skill like the undead cloak and the necromancy skill ...

I also suggest a desert town with the Mummies, peasents , nomads , rogues and the boars , and 7th level creature could be a Sphinx or something like that ...

Sorry for my english i know its not too good !

First of all, I must say I liked the Barbarian better in Heroes 2. In Heroes 3 the orcs and ogres have the boring and traditional green skin. I liked the old hog-men orcs and giant ogres much better. And why the hell do the cyclops throw rocks in heroes 3? Though the behomoths and thunderbirdswere cool.

Now that I'm done raving, perhaps instead of a sky level, you could get a flying machine of some kind. It's just an idea. It could go over forests, but wouldn't be able to carry as many troops or something.

I like the Day/night idea someone came up with. This could benifit some creatures (I know you've heard this a hundred times but bring in DarkElves!!!!).

Undead are a bit of a problem. A necromancer could capture and enslave some orcs or harpies, for instance, but it doesn't make much sense for a knight to be able to control and army of skeletons or zombies without the slightest knowledge of necromancy. Also, if anyone plays Warhammer, they should know about how they split the undead into two groups: Egyptian style and Gothic style. It works very well and with a huge variety of undead creatures out there, this would be an interesting style to use.

Also, some creatures from oriental mytholigies and cultures would be nice. Samurais, Ninjas, Chinese dragons, all sorts. Other people have said this, but I'd just like to show my support for the idea.

I wouldn't really like sci-fi, it wouldn't go with the theme, but there could be a seperate futuristic version.

Finally, how about a Hive? It could be filled with overgrown bugs, ranging from lowly ants and wasps to giant stag beetles and scorpions.

That's all I can think of for now. Bye.

Dear 3do,

I would like it if you could have Dracula,Hercules,Conan,King Arthur andmore as heroes. You could have legendary Heroes and normal heros.Or eventypes of conditions such as poison and more. And a lot of new spells. Youcould also put a few new castles like a dragon castle or even an elementalcastle, but they should be rare to find.

A dedicated player,

Cody Boone
