- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic III. For other uses, see cyclops king.
The cyclops king is the upgrade of the cyclops, the sixth-level creature of the Stronghold faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia. It can be recruited from the upgraded cyclops cave.
Cyclopses and cyclops kings attack at range by throwing boulders to devastating effect. Both can target siege walls and damage them like a Catapult (see War Machines and Siege Features). Cyclops catapult attacks are applied with Basic Ballistics skill. Cyclops kings do the same at the Advanced Ballistics skill level (see Secondary Skills).OffBck
With higher attack, defense, and speed, more shots, and increased damage to attack siege walls, this is a useful upgrade, but also a quite expensive one.
Notes[]
- Yog is a specialist in cyclops kings, and gives them +1 to Attack and Defense per hero level after sixth level. These creatures also get +1 to Speed.
