I suddenly felt like there should be Barbarians.

It is a well-known fact, which I have mentioned many times, that orcs were created as a result of experiments conducted by the Academy's mages on demons. Therefore, orcs simply cannot predate wizards.

What does it matter whether they came before or after? One exists, the other doesn't. And there could be other barbarians, not just ORCS ATTACKING THE KINGDOM.

I like the developers. Even if it turns out to be garbage, they approach the task not like some uncouth people. It will be so satisfying when all the clueless, dreamy kids, waiting for ELVES, get a taste of something rough and tough.

I think that there will be Barbarians after all...

No, there won't be, because then it would be a complete mess. What's the point of having Orcs and Necromancers when there are no Wizards – their sworn enemies, and thanks to whom Orcs and Necromancers even appeared?

They will get a good dose of rough treatment.

Don't worry, they'll add them in the expansion. 100% sure.

PS There are many Turks in Germany, but I don't know about France. There are a lot of black people there.

Analyzing the latest data, I believe that the fourth faction will be the Orcs (by the way, they have Goblins – an excellent candidate for a 4-unit golem!), and the fifth will be heavily modified Nagas (because the new creatures of this faction belong to the previous biological species, but have undergone significant mutations).

A Goblin-Golemlon? That would be really fun :D

LaBoule mentioned that the fourth faction will have 2 female units, and one of them has changed gender (meaning it was male in all previous installments). If there are orcs, we can expect a shaman and, for example, a female centaur :eek:
The fifth race will have three women and one "genderless" unit. Overall, there will be enough female characters.

A centaur female? Or maybe a goblin female? A cyclops female?

If there are Orcs.

Not a shamaness, but a shaman.

If there are Orcs

So, let's see who could be the candidate for the 4th faction: forest elves, mages, dark elves, dwarves, orcs.
Forest elves are out - confirmed by direct text.
Dwarves and dark elves have a dragon at level 7, and the champion of the race will remain the same - dragons are bosses, so we can eliminate these two.
That leaves mages and orcs. I would be in favor of mages, but it was said that on the VIP forum, almost no one guessed this race - and mages were obvious enough that only a few people would have named them. But few would think of orcs.
Morning, where did you see the terrible word "shamaness"?

Nowhere. There was a “shaman.” Does that matter?

No, how can there be Orcs if they haven't been created yet? And besides, without Mages. Are they completely clueless...?
If Alakazam is telling the truth, maybe they'll make some silly Gnomes, but without Dragons. Although I doubt they'll have female units... then I don't even know.

2 female units, and one of them changed gender (i.e., it was male in all previous parts).

I doubt they'll make an Orc or Goblin female, but they might make a Centaur female, but maybe then there will be a faction of beastmen, and not Orcs.
In what year did they create Orcs? They seemed to make various beastmen first, and then they created Orcs and crossed them with demons.

Or maybe all of this is a lie, and the developers are just messing with our heads.

Morning, it's a small word. Both words exist in the Russian language, albeit in the names of geographical objects: Mount Shamanikha in the Southern Urals and Shaman Rock on Lake Baikal. But "shaman" has already been used in Heroes 5, and "shamanikha" sounds rough, IMHO.

Arandor, the only candidates are Mages and Orcs. Of course, it's silly, but based on the established facts, Orcs have a better chance. Dwarves have some kind of dragon, but it's not very significant.

As I mentioned in the Inferno thread, the poor succubi don't have enough room to roam around. I'm not against gender equality and all that, in King's Bounty, I always have at least one female unit in my army (out of all four, yes), but not to this extent. I'm going to venture a guess that the mage's Titan will become a Titaness (Titanide), hehe.

But the shamaness was already featured in Heroes 5, and "shamanikha" sounds rough, IMHO.

I wouldn't call that a reason.
