During a recent promotional event, professional mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor made headlines when he allegedly knocked out a mascot. The incident occurred while McGregor was promoting his whiskey brand at a local event in Dublin, Ireland. According to witness accounts, McGregor was asked to take part in a playful stunt where he would playfully spar with 'Paddy the Platypus,' the mascot for a children's charity. However, things took an unexpected turn when McGregor delivered an unexpected punch that reportedly knocked the mascot unconscious. Videos and photographs of the incident quickly spread on social media, sparking widespread outrage and criticism. Many accused McGregor of using his considerable fighting skills to harm someone who was simply there to promote a good cause.
Conclusion:
However, quite often sieges can devolve into boring battles of patience, because without a certain hero skill your seige weapons will attack bits of the wall at random and thus breaking through can become a tiresome chore, especially when you ve got one or enemy ranged units left on the enemy s side who won t budge from their defensive position, understandably. The cutscenes are fully rendered in 3D as is the gameplay itself, but then cutscenes during campaigns are done in 2D hand-drawn art, while city screens are also in 2D and feature a completely different style of artwork that paints each town in a classical, bright fantasy style which doesn t match the rest of the game.
Many accused McGregor of using his considerable fighting skills to harm someone who was simply there to promote a good cause. In response to the backlash, McGregor took to social media to apologize for his actions. He claimed that it was a miscommunication between him and the event organizers, and that he did not intend to cause any harm.

Edited by Rakshasa92 at 13:54, 13 Aug 2014.I really wished they would be wiser and went with a real new start and cut all the dragon-god stuff away.
I hope i'm proven wrong, but knowing ashan, this will be a 3D spectacle full of bugs and female monks, duplicate cheap monsters ect ect.
Edited by JeremiahEmo at 13:57, 13 Aug 2014.I'd be so disappointed if Academy's is female. Hey, just my opinion. I want a hero that I can relate to for Academy (and Fortress or Sylvan too).
Rakshasa92 said: Ashan again? Really?
I really wished they would be wiser and went with a real new start and cut all the dragon-god stuff away.
I hope i'm proven wrong, but knowing ashan, this will be a 3D spectacle full of bugs and female monks, duplicate cheap monsters ect ect.
In that trailer I see green undead, orange stronghold, so the color theme is also back? Disappointing! Also the female centaurs are back in the trailer, I hope that is not in the game.
This doesn't have anything to do with the universe, but with the creators of the game. It was Blackhole Entertainment back then and now it is Limbic(that tried to fix the mess Blackhole made with H6 but they weren't so successful since the mess was quite big).
Edited by Lexxan at 13:59, 13 Aug 2014.So what we see in this preview are. Humans, Angels, Orcs, Necro and. Wizards(. ) uniting on one front against what I presume are the demons. Lol, so predictable. I'm slightly annoyed by the fact that Necro and Orcs are ONCE AGAIN going to be protagonists, but *sigh*, once the cow's been milked there's no point squirting the cream back up the udders, i guess.

We will see, personally I don't care what universe they are choosing, but how it is done matters a lot.
Well Ashan is very limited in creatures and towns as those boring dragon gods are linked to the elements and some towns blablabla
JeremiahEmo said: Storm Giant, are those heroes campaign heroes?
They have to be. Why would they be in the trailer otherwise?

So making up new towns is impossible in Ashan as they all need some boring dragon to support them, and there are only so much dragons and they all have their own town already.
No, not really. As far as I know, there are factions that doesn't support any of the Dragon Gods and they can create new things if they want. The thing is, there are 9 known factions for now, and a ton of "subfactions" if you ever played Duel of Champions or know something about that game. There are thousand of creatures they can make.
So creating new factions shouldn't even happen since we will start with 6 factions and they should work first on releasing the 3 that are left.
Edited by Storm-Giant at 19:18, 20 Aug 2014. Edited by RMZ1989 at 14:37, 13 Aug 2014.I am not sure if that is some sort of campaign battle or it will be like that in normal games, but battlefield is a lot bigger and I really like that! I disliked the fact that a lot of units could pass the battlefield in one go in Heroes 6.
There’s a strange discord running through the game in terms of its artistic style, too. The cutscenes are fully rendered in 3D as is the gameplay itself, but then cutscenes during campaigns are done in 2D hand-drawn art, while city screens are also in 2D and feature a completely different style of artwork that paints each town in a classical, bright fantasy style which doesn’t match the rest of the game. There’s no sense of cohesion or thought going into creating the aesthetics. You’ll see the same in the menus, from the perfectly nice looking market screen to the bloody awful thieves guild screen. It’s a lack of polish, really.

Reviews for "Conor McGregor's Mascot Knockout: The Prank That Broke the Internet"
1. Samantha - 2/5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with "Conner McGregor Knocks Out Mascot". As a huge fan of mixed martial arts, I expected to see a display of McGregor's skills and techniques. However, what I witnessed was nothing more than a senseless and cruel act. It was clear that the mascot was not prepared for such an encounter and did not know how to defend itself. It did nothing to showcase McGregor's abilities as a fighter and only left me feeling uncomfortable and disturbed.
2. John - 1/5 stars - "Conner McGregor Knocks Out Mascot" was a disgraceful event. It was utterly disrespectful and inhumane to subject a defenseless mascot to such treatment. The entire concept of the video seems to be built on the idea of bullying and public humiliation. As someone who used to admire McGregor's skills in the octagon, this incident completely tarnished his reputation in my eyes. I do not support such unethical behavior and cannot recommend this video to anyone.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I did not find "Conner McGregor Knocks Out Mascot" entertaining or amusing in any way. It was disturbing to watch a professional fighter like McGregor take advantage of a mascot who clearly had no training or ability to fight back. It showed a lack of sportsmanship and a disregard for the well-being of others. I would have preferred to see McGregor showcase his talent against a worthy opponent, rather than indulging in such a one-sided and unfair spectacle.
4. David - 1/5 stars - This video was an absolute disgrace. It's disheartening to see someone like Conor McGregor, who has achieved so much in the world of mixed martial arts, stoop to such an immoral level. The mascot involved was merely there to entertain and bring joy to people, and McGregor's actions completely contradicted the spirit of sportsmanship. This incident not only reflects poorly on McGregor but also on the sport as a whole. These kind of events give a bad reputation to MMA and overshadow the hard work and dedication of real fighters.
5. Amy - 2/5 stars - I found "Conner McGregor Knocks Out Mascot" to be an unsettling and unnecessary display of aggression. In my opinion, it served no purpose other than to mock and humiliate someone who was not equipped to defend themselves. McGregor's reputation as a skilled fighter should be built on fair and sporting matches, not exploiting vulnerable targets. I was disappointed by his involvement in such an event and would have hoped for better judgment from him as a professional athlete.
