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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

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 🔥 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

They look really good ! Good job 🔥

Great mood ! ( Love the train shake motion )

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Love the feet, we can absolutely understand the direction there pointing at And I've always found that feet and hands express a lot about a character pose/movement/intentions Great very tired pose, how come she's so exhausted ?

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

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 - #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

1151

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

0151

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Yes it amzing to look at ! I'm often surprised by how players do the same things, even though you often hadn't thought of it yourself, but it makes perfect sense to them Playtesting is so important

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

So cool !!!! Congratz for that ! It must have been a rich experience ! I remember when we presented Toads of the Bayou at conventions, it was awesome !

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Thanks for this Megaclap ! Let's go with the zoomed out ones then 😍

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Let me introduce you to the next faction: The Wizards 🧙‍♂️ They are the professionals of magical knowledge They often live in very far away and difficult-to-access regions Here is their first unit, the Halflings They live in stone caves or large burrows #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

0194

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

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 ? #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

1121

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Oh my man AuGhost, we will try our best to defend you well !

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Veteran pikeman are very important to poject our archer and ranger ! You aren't nobody 🔥

Hello there! I had the chance to work on this trailer for all Pixelart Cinematics. It was fun to do this 💥

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 !! #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

It is by far one of my favorite games, I often come back to it Playing Heroes 2 is so relaxing, between the turn-based gameplay, the music, the colors, and the stories I tell myself, I really experience something close to meditation 😅

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Thank you so much Markus ! Long live Roland, the true King 👑

I love this so much! I can feel the sea air and the cold and light rain and also hear the crystal speaking to me about my next quest 🔥

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

1224

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

This and a prayer and you'll be fine 🙏 They are recruited in the cathedral after all

010

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

I can still hear them singing from here: "We are poor, lonesome add scammers, and a long way from being respectful " 🌄

110

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

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 ... #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

Of course, it's very easy to cancel (That's not true, it will redirect you from one website to another, up to a fourth one, then you'll have to call a premium-rate number that will keep you on hold for 30min, only to then tell you that you just need to send an email to an address -which isn't valid

110

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

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 ! #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

1212

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Attention ! Prepare the spears ! The charge is coming ! Cavalry is a fast unit (though not as fast as its upgraded version) #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

1282

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

And here is the swordsman ! Really tanky and deals good damage #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

0280

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Pikeman have been upgraded ! Let me present you to the Veteran Pikeman ! These guys are really fast ! ( And tougher, their life pool have also been increased ) #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

0150

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

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 #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM2

0221

Pilou Nicolas @pilounicolas.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Archer got promoted to Ranger ! Shoot twice at every attack, I love having great numbers of those guys in my army #pixelart #픽셀아트 #ドット絵 #HoMM
