And here is the Mighty Titan, the best shooter unit in the game And the only one capable of competing against the best unit in the game, the Black Dragon Titans are strong in every aspect: health, attack, defense, morale and speed

This is the Giant, the pre-evolution of the second most powerful unit in the game Giants have high damage output, high health, and are immune to mind-affecting spells But generally, it's preferable to wait until their evolution is available, which is truly impressive

And here's the evolution : the Archmage 🧙♂️ More attack, more defense, more speed, and he has 24 shots instead of 12 per battle ! Simply devastating 🔥

This is the Mage Mages constantly study spells, only descending from their high ivory tower to go to the library or the Mages' Guild (and even then, only to study) They are excellent shooters, although somewhat weak in resistance

The Roc is the Wizards' only flying unit and it's quite tanky Big bird that takes up 2 hexagonal tiles on the battlefield - I love them, and the enemy ranged units fear them -

Here's the evolution of the Iron Golem : The Steel Golem Faster (or less slow 😅), more HP, and 2 more attack points They are -very- tanky ! If it's very sunny, you can easily imagine them blinding enemy units with the sun's reflection on their shiny steel bodies

Tier 3 Unit: The Iron Golem They're very slow but very tanky ! And what's more, they only take half damage from elemental spells That's makes them good units for defending a siege

Tier 2 Unit: Boar ! In HoMM2, the hero's movement speed is reduced by the slowest unit accompanying them Therefore, to explore and cover more distance in a single turn, one strategy is to have no slow creatures in a hero's army Like only one boar for an scout hero

Hey guys, before posting the next faction, I'd like to know which format you think is best for presenting each of the units ? I'm wondering if the zoomed-in box detracts too much from readability and if the larger one makes the units too small... Any opinions ?

And here are all the Knight units finally gathered in their castle ! I heard that one castle has rebelled and raised a new banner claiming the color red and wanting to break free A hero from the royal guard has been sent to quell this outrage Let the siege begin !!

And finally, here is the Knight Hero himself Knights are heroes of Might, their stats focus on attack and defense They start with the secondary skills Leadership and Ballistics More morale to your troops + makes you excel in the effectiveness of the catapult

All factions can hire a Captain to defend during a siege The Captain provides stat bonuses to creatures and allows you to cast spells ! Here is the Knight version

Here is the Crusader ! Faster, more resistant, immune to curses and deals double damage to undead Although still weak ( for a tier 6 unit) , they are not very expensive, so they can be useful in the early and mid-game

Time for the big armored booyyy ! Here is the Paladin !! Unfortunately, it's the weakest of the tier 6 units 😖 But we still give them a lot of respect because they look really cool ! (And they attack twice per turn ! - although their stats are still very weak ...

Here is the champion ! One of the two fastest units in the game (along with the Phoenix). They have ultra-fast speed, which gives you the initiative to start playing first on the battlefield and gives you a considerable advantage from the very beginning of the fight !

And here is the Pikeman ! They are great for defense. For example, you can split them into several groups to surround your archers or rangers and prevent potential melee attacks on your ranged shooters

Okay, guys, it's time to show you a new series We're going with character design, in low definition, of the creatures from Homm2's castle First character : the peasant (He's useless in everything, he has a 1 in all stats, he's by far the worst unit in the game)

A Gothic corridor, surely from a dark castle perched high in the forgotten mountains ( The ground of this wing of the castle has remained untrodden for too long, who knows what secrets might lie at the end ? )

It's time to show you some more recent work ! The tombs are from ToTB, the mausoleum is inspired by Diablo 2, and the overall vibe is very Heroes of Might and Magic "Visit the Warrior's Tomb" (Artifact or -3 morale)
