I would like Orcs...)))

But seriously... it would be nice to have something original... Perhaps some race related to space. For example, this race could turn the world of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 into "techno-fantasy." For instance, everyone knows the game World of Warcraft; a new expansion is coming out in January, and it will feature a couple of new races. One of them is interesting because it turns the world of Warcraft into techno-fantasy... This race is called the "Draenei"; essentially, in modern terms, they are aliens. Their spaceship crashed in the world of Azeroth (that's what the world in Warcraft is called)... But they also have warlocks, mages, warriors, and so on...
What do you think of this idea? ))
I would be strongly against it. The world of Heroes is more like a Mediterranean world, and introducing aliens, in my opinion, would ruin the game and alienate many fans who are already hesitant to switch from Heroes 3. I think that what we have is enough; I just wish there were more diverse campaigns and larger maps where you could encounter the main opponent after several months, with powerful armies.

it’s impossible to live without Barbarians! That’s for sure, but I agree that the swamp is just as essential an element of Heroes as, for example, DRAGONS... :D I beg you, at least make them neutral units:( And in general, why not continue the good tradition of the third Heroes and take them and oppose them to each other again AS AN IDEA!??????:)

You don't understand. These won't be aliens in the literal sense; they will be more like "fantasy" aliens. For example, their ships fly not with the help of some kind of gravitational or rocket engines, but with the help of special magic. Do you see what I'm getting at? And their racial bonus could be that, for example, a hero moves around the map not on the ground but in the air and can reach areas that other heroes cannot reach for a certain period of time. I'm sure this won't turn off fans; it will only add even more interest.

It puts me off because it's nonsense. I'm already sick and tired of all sorts of aliens with blasters from M&M. As if Heroes needed them too! Whether they are magical, gill-breathing, or whatever.

There are many races and creatures in fantasy that could be added to Heroes without mocking the plot and the game universe itself. If Forge was rejected by enraged fans, it is naive to hope they will be pleased with some sorcerous Martians.

One doesn't have to look far for an example - Age of Wonders: Shadow magic. While the new race of nomads looked quite fitting and continued the traditions of the first part, the shadow demons and syrons looked somewhat out of place.

Regarding the race, I think something similar to Conflux would be good. It would be nice to add more neutral factions.

You simply don't understand this race. They won't be aliens with blasters, as I've already said.
Fine... Let it be this: they are some kind of entities, creatures, individuals, people... whatever you want. But the point is that they came to the world of Might and Magic not from the Necropolis, not from the Mountains, etc. But from another world, or rather, they flew from there into the world of Might and Magic... and what's wrong with that???? Their race arrived, let's say, in some astral-magical capsules (or ships). Develop the idea, for goodness sake... You have absolutely no imagination. As soon as I mention aliens, that's it, you start saying "Star Wars," blasters, and so on.
I feel sorry for you:rolleyes:

The problem is that John Van Caneghem wouldn't want his story to be used. Of course, Ubisoft bought the rights to the game, but they could have included heroes/story and other elements from the series in Heroes 5, but it seems they are afraid of something.

Oblivion, well, please describe clearly what you mean.

You see, a race of creatures from another world must also be original. If it has units like alien infantry, alien archer, alien cavalry, alien heavy infantry, etc., then it's just boring. We need a new, original race, and it doesn't matter where it comes from, as long as it's not uninteresting.

So far, you haven't said anything coherent. Choose words that will help to more deeply understand the essence of the race, and be more detailed.

Because with this kind of talk:

- let's shove an alien race in there!

- No, that's rubbish, not for Heroes (which is quite fair).

- You didn't understand, I didn't mean aliens! But some race that came from another world! In capsules!

A positive impression just isn't forming. To some extent, I understand the race—beings, unknown and previously unheard of, have come to our world. They use magic, etc., etc. But it's all quite abstract.

I don't quite get a good impression. I partly understand the reasoning – creatures, unknown and previously unseen, have come to our world. They use magic, etc., etc. But this is quite abstract.
Well, what can I say? I don't know, for example, what the units will look like... That's no longer my concern. This needs to be thought through carefully. It won't be an alien infantryman, an alien archer, etc. Of course, each unit will have its own name.

I just offered an idea that this is a race, and what's wrong with that? Come up with something original for it. I just suggested the idea that this race arrived in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic on their magical ships. And, for example, the other races didn't even know or fully understand that there were other worlds in the universe (i.e., other planets); they thought that there was only their world of Might and Magic, and then, bam, these incomprehensible strangers appear. And at first, it's unclear what they want or who they are.
I'm saying, I just presented an idea. A small story about the origin of this race in the world of Heroes, that's all. I could, of course, come up with a name for the race, a coat of arms, units...
But not everything can be done at once.:cool:

Well, it's just an idea for creating a faction's backstory. And such a description doesn't really help much for unique units. But for me, the Water faction keeps popping up, which actually fits this description quite well.

Of course, the Orcish Barbarians! They will most likely be there! After all, they are half-demons, which means only they can save the world from yet another coming of evil!

But this is not just a faction story. I'm saying, I could develop it further. Let it be the Water faction.:)

If Neval started building his fifth town based on the principles of the third game, then he needs the Swamp, the Barbarians, and the Conflux – all these towns are integral parts of Heroes of Might and Magic!
