Why make it fantasy-themed? In Shio, a space-time rift opened, and an army of Martians emerged. There you have it: mech-Martians :D
Gentlemen, let's think within the framework of Aschan and Enroth. In Warcraft, everything got mixed up, and I don't want the same fate to befall the heroes.
In my opinion, the only logically sound option for a new faction is an aquatic Castle or a swamp Fortress/Naga (one of these).
Everything else feels far-fetched.
The Forge and the Conflux are cut from the same cloth (both are equally bad).
The Conflux stood out with its fairytale atmosphere, while I imagine the Forge as techno-undead. Yes, they are more advanced than other factions, but not to the point of absurdity. For example: lasers could be given only to level 6 or 7 units (as a reminder, the Cyclops shoots lasers from its eyes, and the Fire Elemental essentially uses plasma). The Synthetics from the Demiurges game fit perfectly into my vision of the Forge. Here are some screenshots:

The creatures have race-specific skirts, and there's only one free option.

Those metal creatures are scary; it's better to stick with technology and techmages.
But Ashan doesn't really need that.
Looks like an interesting game. Wouldn't you recommend playing it?

I still don't understand...
Demiurges, it's a cool game.

I'll download the Demiliches.

As far as I remember, the Synthets are the 5th race from the second part, which you can't play as.
In my opinion, the only logically sound option for a new faction is a water castle or a swamp "fortress"/naga (one or the other).
Everything else is far-fetched. The Factory and the Conflux are two sides of the same coin (both are equally bad).
And yes, you can at least make individual skirts for each hero; I don't know about units.
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...
Gentlemen, please consider this within the context of Ashan and Erathia.
Secondly, it's best not to bring in external universes, as Enroth is one of them.

the second "lore" city absent in the game - "Free Cities"
Demigods are demigods; there aren't even humans as such. Therefore, it's clearly not classic fantasy. So, the example with synthetics doesn't work as justification for the Forge.
What are "free cities"? A rabble? A hodgepodge of different races? Another duplicate of humans (and considering that there are already mages based on humans, along with their descendants – the undead)? Forget such a "faction."
The Forge and the Conflux share a common problem: they are both a rabble, lacking a single, unified race. The first is a rabble with technology, the second is a rabble with elementals. The Forge doesn't fit the lore, but at least it's realistic from a practical point of view. Elementals might fit the lore, but not as a faction. What do they live on, what is their culture, what are their technologies? On magic? But then it's just a duplicate of the mages.
Free cities are a parody of medieval Free Cities. Only here, everyone gathers, it's a dark, bandit-ridden city. Simon Green wrote about something like this:
If you're tired of living, come to Haven; you'll definitely be killed here. Haven is an independent port city...
