Editing Talk:Efreeti and Efreet Sultan

== Discussion ==
Efreeti are among the game's most dangerous creatures. Whereas they can be [[slowed]] to be targeted by [[Ranged attackers]], they are formidable offensive units. Being able to fly at a relatively high speed, in addition to the devastating fire shield and immunity to [[Blind]] makes these some of the most formidable 6th level creatures in Heroes III.

'''Tip:''' If your hero has slow, it should be utilized on Efreet. Past that, you should try and soften or kill them with [[direct damage spells]] or ranged attackers, because the fire shield can inflict heavy losses, even to [[creature stacks]] far stronger.

== {{hota}} Sprite for Efreet ==
In {{hota}}, the adventure map sprite for the Efreet seems to have been fixed. Someone should add the info to the article (I'd do it, but sometime later).--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 17:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

== "Note, that Efreeti is singular while plural phrasing is Efreet in game." ==
i promised to use my reading skills more often and look what did it do to me.

efreeti/efreet spelling seems to be the peculiar/interesting/wild DnD tradition:

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Efreeti

i traced the source back to 1993 [https://en.calameo.com/read/000000019bbda177554aa DnD Monster Manual], which is more than enough for us.

all the in-game spelling seems to follow this rule (mostly).

efreeT:
*[[Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_98]] - plural ('Efreet and Efreet Sultans')
*as a race (Rashka, Octavia, Xyron, Zydar) - singular
*[[Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_114]] - plural ('damage to efreet')
*[[Rumor]] - plural (Efreet are unaffected by spells of Fire Magic)
*HeroSpec.txt specialty name - plural (or it will be the only singular among Demons, Dragons, Elves and so on from other creature specialties)
*CRTRAITS.TXT - plural: 1 - Efreeti/Efreet; 2 - 'Hates Efreet' (in comparison to 'Hates Genies')

efreeTI:
*[[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 10]] Xeron's race - singular (Male Efreeti)
*HEROBIOS.TXT Xeron's bio - singular ('Xyron seems to like fire even more than anyone would expect of an Efreeti')

since im still not comfortable enough in the new efreeti/efreet reality, im not sure what we have to do with all this, but seems like some fixes should be done --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 18:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
