So, the Conflux city for the adventure map is almost finished; all that remains is to Photoshop the orc landscape into green tones.
Zobr (Alexey) is posting cool models of creatures with a marine theme. Many of these creatures he posted reference the Horn of the Abyss mod from Heroes 3. There are oceanids (Tier 1), priestesses of the seas (Tier 5), and even an analogue/replacement for sailors (Tier 2).
Against this background, I started thinking about the concept of a marine city. Personally, I imagine it like this: a city is located in a giant whirlpool, and a beautiful (pointed) castle rises upwards on a huge rock.
In Heroes 5, all cities are centered around the main building, and then you look around the city in a circle. So this option perfectly matches what I imagine, especially since we already have 2 cities that don't protrude outwards but go inwards (Dwarves and Inferno).
I tried to make a neural network create something that I imagine, and this is what I got:
In Heroes 5, there are no neutral factions; a faction is either good or evil. So, if the Conflux is a 200% good faction, then the marine city will be evil. Because of this, I am planning the following name: Abyss.
And who will create such cities in the ocean? That's right! The artifact "Horn of the Abyss" will form the whirlpool and fix it so that the whirlpool does not dissipate.
