Heh, I have about the same number of faction prototypes. It will be interesting to hear the details.

In my opinion, the ratio of 9 races: 3 good + 3 evil + 3 neutral is the most optimal.
Because this ratio is present in Heroes of Might and Magic III (which is why it is my favorite).
It is true that with a large number of races, it is difficult to maintain balance and diversity.

P.S. In my opinion, the 5th part embodies all the best from the 3rd part + successful innovations (primarily regarding skills), and the battle itself has been simplified (in the form of hints about who goes next and the number of killed units - in the 3rd part, you had to count everything yourself).

As was mentioned earlier in this thread... If you increase the number, there won't be such a clear distinction between the races. They will be very similar... Or then the division will begin, like between elves and dark elves...
And there will be clones of races.... This is not interesting at all.

The result is known to us – there will be 8 races.... And I think they are very different and unique! This can only be a good thing!

You simply can't achieve more than 10 diverse races, and if you start doing something that doesn't fit the style of Heroes, it just becomes uninteresting... That is, it's certainly interesting to come up with new ideas, but it's not worth ruining the game's diversity and balance.

I think that 12 races: 4 good + 4 evil + 4 neutral would also be good and optimal!:cool:

So, you can come up with 4 more races? And without ruining the balance? By the way, think about how 4 neutral races will affect the game's plot. Where will you fit them in if the battle is specifically between good and evil, and there were no neutrals to begin with? So, you can fit them in somewhere, but it will be quite difficult. And since there were no neutral castles in Heroes 5, let's not have them. (Hacker convinced me)

I agree about the neutrals, and 12 races are definitely possible (as was the case, for example, in Age of Wonders 2), but for this, you need a huge desire, creative ideas, more money, and time – which is constantly lacking!:smile32:

You can come up with something! But balancing it will be difficult. And you can create neutral factions... these are the ones that fight both good and evil, like in the 3rd game, in the Barbarian and Swamp campaigns. They fight among themselves, with humans, and with the undead

In principle, everything is possible... But on the other hand, when this is done, fans may react differently....
Remember what happened with the 4th installment...
Even back in the days of the 3rd game, people desperately asked for a hero on the battlefield, armies that move without a hero, etc.

In which version was this implemented... and what happened??? A split among the fans, some accepted it, but most took it with hostility....

You need to be more careful with your wishes... They may come true...

I was thinking, it would probably be best if there were ten factions, 10! Add two neutral ones. Many people from Heroes 3 loved the Swamp (Fortress). So, I suggest adding the Swamp and maybe also the Elemental Castle. I've already come up with a lot of ideas for it. Take all 4 elementals of the 4 elements. Although they are all level 4, they won't have any upgrades. At level 7, they will have a Phoenix, also without upgrades. And also add level 2 and 3 creatures for them. They won't have levels 1, 5, and 6 for balance. And there won't be creature upgrades. It's cool, but first, the Swamp!:smile13:

I've had this idea in my head for a long time. :) We just need to balance this idea. ;)

10 races is good)). The Swamp is good)). But Elementals are bad)). It would be better to make Nigonians instead. Instead of stolen creatures, make other ones
