Which Might and Magic universe are you referring to?

Inferno – the developers, as far as I remember, said that they were inspired by Babylon (maybe I’m wrong).

Yes, there is something similar in the fifth part. In the sixth... It’s unclear.

Naga – specifically Japanese Buddhists, not just any.

Not entirely. I’m looking at their composition now and realize that the developers failed to maintain a stylistic unity for this faction. The music, architecture, atmosphere, and the vast majority of the units (kappa, shark warrior, snow maiden, deep naga, kirin) still somehow relate to Japan, but the coral priestesses and stream spirits are a miss. I’m not entirely sure about the priestesses, but still... This is more Greece than Japan. And the stream spirits are purely India, especially clearly expressed in the mizu-kami. Although... If you remember the Sanctuary presentation video, you can see that the team was also inspired by China, India, and Thailand. I think it would be good to reconsider the concept of the water faction in the future, without focusing exclusively on Japanese culture.
