The thing is, Nagas are Nagas, but a zombie with a circular saw is something else entirely. People didn't understand the idea. If they had implanted four more arms on the zombie and given it daggers, people would have perceived it differently. Most likely, the people who opposed Forge saw the game as a TBS, not a TBS with a storyline. They probably skipped all the cutscenes and texts in the campaigns, or maybe they didn't even play them. They were interested in the process, the development of the castle, and so on. Perhaps they didn't even play Might & Magic because it's an RPG, and they thought, "What's John Van Caneghem doing, completely out of his mind? Robots? Ancients? He played Starcraft and decided to have space battles here? We won't allow the Heroes series to become post-apocalyptic. Where have you ever seen robots next to elves, mages, and necromancers?"

In my opinion, Van Caneghem would have turned this not into trashy science fiction, but into something similar to Might & Magic 1-5. And people played it and didn't complain about why barbarians and liches coexist with robots and spaceships
