Does this game have an equivalent to Horny from Dungeon Keeper 2?

[Dragon]

This question is one that the reviews never seem to address. They make it seem like Dungeons 3 does not have any equivalent to Horny. But does it?

By equivalent, I mean an OP creature who you can summon at a high cost, who can never die, and who owns everything it fights.

If Dungeons 3 does not have a Horny equivalent, then: why not? Should it?

There are 3 Titan units. Each cost You 1000 evilness to unlock and 1000 gold recruit. But they are not like horny, they are just like regular units but a bit stronger. There is nothing like a real horny from dungeon keeper 2.

Do you feel this game is lacking compared to DK2 in terms of omitting a Horny-like unit? Or do you think omitting it was a good idea?

The game have horny units you get some equipment for killing a mobs to give the titan or a hero unit (Thalya) some pasive abilities like life regen.

Even the Demon Titan have an automatically life regen and can be resurrect if you got enough mana to ressurect this creature due it's a demon unit. Creatures cannot heal this unit. To ressurect this creature you need a large demon room to put its large demon portal and large mana pool.

Undead Titan can resurrect if you got a large room of graveyard to put his tombstone. Sadly it doesn't have life regen and cannot be heal by your creatures due it's an undead unit but you can gain a tome to give this undead titan a life regen.

The Ogre titan cannot be resurrect but you can buy him again w/ gold. Creatures can heal this titan.

The Horny and Mistress units from Dungeon Keeper 2 are - unfortunately - under copyright held by EA. When the people behind War for the Overworld made a game based on the Dungeon Keeper model, EA politely told them what exactly they could do in their game without breaking EA's copyrights, and Horny and Mistress were given a clear "no". :( Same with the Bile Demon.

So sad that Bullfrog's franchise is held by such a poor company :(

No doubt EA can tell them not to make a unit that looks like Horny. However, I'm sure they can't copyright the concept of an immortal unit that beats everything it fights.

Surely the Dungeons 3 devs could have put one of those into the game if they wanted to.

They introduced something similar in Dungeons 2, there was a Summon Ultimate Evil spell that cost a ton of mana but created an unstoppable behemoth for a limited time that laid waste to anything in his path. For the expansion, they introduced a hero instead in the form of Barthas Snow, an immortal undead warrior with a bunch of powerful buffs and attacks.

In D3 that has morphed into Talya, an immortal dark elf who may not be as powerful but is an interesting and charismatic champion for your forces. If you want a carbon copy of Dungeon Keeper you're not going to get it, but D3 is certainly a worthy successor with many of the same traditions.

In War for the Overworld, the vampire is an immortal, insanely dangerous unit that - if hungry - kills your own units. That was the closest to Horny WFTO's developers dared to go.
