Posts from New faction: Cove.

I want to create something similar to the "Cove" from Heroes 3: Horn of the Abyss, but I don't know which creatures I can use yet. I'm running out of ideas, so if anyone can suggest some creatures, I'm all ears.

There are pirates on AsKhan too, but they are a very diverse group. On Enroth, there is a pirate micro-state – hence the faction.

On AsKhan, humans, orcs, dwarves, and elves engage in piracy, and together they form a pirate council. They don't have a single base like the Enroth corsairs – each pirate crew is unique not only in terms of weaponry but also in its composition.

There is, of course, the case of the black guards engaging in piracy, but that only happened once.

What about the water elves and Vislot? Some of them are from Irollan.

I don't know about Vislot, he seems to live on some island.

And Ciel is in the Pirate Council; she hung out with Krag-Hak in MMX, where everyone gathered for the wedding of the pirate Ulagan.

I remembered another thing about pirates – it's unclear what sea trade routes exist in the game. It's clear that the Wild Sea pirates raid in the west, but there are no pirates in the east. There are a few mentions of pirates in the biographies of heroes from the Sanctuary; they are simply mentioned in Hitomi's biography, and Tsuan was actually a pirate. Again, it's unclear if there is a base where pirate squads could be formed and armed, but there is generally a lack of lore there. You could create Chinese pirates with renegades from the Academy or Free Cities.

Also, there are pirates in the north – Kujin chases them away in the Campaign, and they are all elves. It's unclear who they are raiding, they just kill dwarven whalers in the name of nature.

I remember there was one multiplayer map, "Lord of the Seas" or something like that, and the description of that map was about orc pirates and sea routes.

I don't know about Vislot; he seems to have settled on some island.
