Hi Dj_Stef
Your idea is similar to the concept of a cathedral
advice available
here
sorry by my eng
my translator google)

Cathedral is the antithesis of the castle

Hello Dj_Stef, there are indeed a few of us who have a decent command of English. What you're suggesting is already in the works as a unique gothic-themed town type:

Бак, я уже кинул ссыл ему на английском - ему будет удобнее.

Ахххахаха. Google Translator. Нет, лучше уж полностью без знания русского читать по-русски.

More ideas later...thx for viewing

Leprechauns will be.
Rainbow Unicorn is interesting. Unicorns have a rainbow mane in H4.

А чего тему перенесли? Не пойму...

2 Night Hunter
не понял тебя, куда перенесли?

Она в корне ВоГ лежала... А сейчас в хоте...

Нет, она была здесь с момента своего создания.

на счёт удачи согласен, но обязательным считаю не эту абилку.
главным плюсом у леприкона я вижу невидимость (аля AOW) - как в h5 у приведений, возможность промаха по цели.
Всегда и везде леприконы были таинственными, существуют множество легенд про их невидимость....

адекватно переведите диджею моё сообщение, а то промт и гугл вешается над моими фразами. (желательно в моём же сообщении)

I agree about success, but I not consider this ability obligatory.
As Lepricon's main plus I see invisibility (a'la AOW) - as in h5 at ghosts, possibility of miss on a purpose.
Always and everywhere Lepricons were mysterious; lot of legends exists about their invisibility.... {translated by hippo}

Слишком крутой, наверное, выйдет.

можно его нейтралом - просто юнит очень интересный

Так зачем же нейтралом?
Наоборот - в город! Нейтралы малоиспользуемы.

В героях2 многие нейтралы использовались,джины,приведения,элементали,потому что были сильными и имели крутые свойства

Да. И в 1-х Джины были очень крутым подспорьем.
Но в 3-х произошла деноминация. Даже Лазуриков собирать нет смысла, т.к. в середине игры 4-5 драконов ничего не дадут, в отличие от отряда родного войска, или легионеров из другого города
