For instance on this page it should read "Ogres and Ogre Magi are level 4 Stronghold creatures". Do some English speakers use the <town_name> town phraseology? Yes. But some people also say expecially instead of especially. The wiki should use correct language.

Q: HoMM3 Question: In Heroes of Might and Magic III ogre magi possess an ability of casting bloodlust, although in D&D they have no such or any comparable magic ability among their special abilities. At the same time in Warcraft II ogre-magi have an identically named ability, which makes this coincidence peculiar. Were both cases based on some common source?

A: In HoMM3, I gave the Ogre Magi the ability to cast Bloodlust, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I was a big fan of Warcraft 2 (WC2), and this was a clear acknowledgement of my admiration for the game. Secondly, because WC2 was extremely popular, it was redefining various fantasy stereotypes. As I believed embracing popular fantasy stereotypes was an important aspect of HoMM3, in this case, I designated the HoMM3 Ogres could be magi, and Ogre Magi could cast Bloodlust... just like WC2. | |||

Stronghold town[edit | hide | hide all]
One thing that really needs to be fixed on the wiki right now are all the references to <town_name> town. Do you say the "cars of red color"? No, in English you say the "red cars".
For instance on this page it should read "Ogres and Ogre Magi are level 4 Stronghold creatures". Do some English speakers use the <town_name> town phraseology? Yes. But some people also say expecially instead of especially. The wiki should use correct language.
