If the brilliant developers can balance a large number of factions, then of course, they can add 10 more, I think gamers will only benefit from more factions, more variety, and more tactics...
But unfortunately, this is unrealistic, as everyone knows, perfect balance only exists in Starcraft; there are no other truly balanced games, let alone genius ones. The developers can't balance 8 factions, so it's scary to imagine what would happen if they added even more... Although, they don't need to rush; there are no plans for a sixth installment yet, so they can continue to work on add-ons, but this time with a greater focus on balance.

It has long been known that there will be no more add-ons for the fifth installment. So, if anything is planned, it will be the sixth installment. But that's still a long way off, and the balance will be adjusted with patches, although 3.1 hasn't been released yet, and it's unknown when it will be released.

Is the more races, the better? How many is that? 25, 35, or maybe 50? That would be totally cool! But then you'd have to come up with and create new Campaigns accordingly. And that's a huge amount of work! I think having too many races is a Dragon Utopia. As of today, there are 8 races in the game: 3 good, 3 evil, and 2 neutral. I think the best option would be to introduce 1 more neutral race. Let them be the Swamp Creatures (like in the 3rd part). I feel like they are damn well missed!

Yes, I would like to see a faction of swamp creatures, with a city located underwater (like in the first episode of Star Wars). It would also be possible to add a "mixed" faction (bandits, spiders, werewolves, jellyfish, nagas, huorns, basilisk – similar to the one in Harry Potter 2).

Too much is bad, in my opinion. A city with 14-15 units is just an arbitrary and uninspired collection of units!

The more factions, the better, and an eighth unit could be added.

I completely agree. It would be nice to have a second undead faction (mummies, black knights, and death knights already exist), although personally, I'm in favor of a separate vampire faction.:smile54:

I'm a big fan of the Heroes series, and that's why I think the more factions there are, the better:smile42:!

It's better to have a number of factions that can maintain balance.

Of course, the more, the better! Just make sure the number of good, neutral, and evil factions is the same! :) For example, in the game Age of Wonders Shadow Magic, there are 15 races – 5 good, 5 evil, and 5 neutral. And the human faction is neutral there.

Even if they repeat it a hundred times, the main thing is that these factions have a clear history and ideology and are not just a collection of mindless units. And, of course, there needs to be balance, but they can't seem to get it right for eight factions.

100% perfect balance will never exist!
Take Warcraft II, for example, where the wars between Orcs and Humans differ only in appearance, but the different magic of the mages throws off the balance!
You can only make the balance as good as possible!
