I'm completely confused with the names.
There's nothing to be confused about. There used to be the Medusa, now it's been renamed to Coral/Pearl Priestess, and they've given it the ability to shoot and resurrect allies. The River Spirit and Mizu-Kami don't have ranged attacks, but they can establish a spiritual connection with allies, sharing various kinds of influences with them. The Snow Maiden/Yuki-Onna can shoot, and after an upgrade, she can also summon ice blocks from the ground.
And there's nothing complicated about it.
And besides, how does this relate to the topic?
Like this. Just because these creatures are similar in style and concept doesn't mean they'll be turned into a faction. They could remain as neutrals, which is what they are in the game right now. That's why you're being asked where you saw a neutral faction city in the third game. In terms of beliefs, yes, there is one. In terms of composition, no. When forming armies in the third part, the main criterion was location, so neutrals could also have been combined into one city, but this wasn't done. In the sixth game, they could simply add neutral units and not form a separate faction. But we'll see; if they do create such a faction, it will be quite appealing. I just don't really like the style.

They could have easily combined the neutral factions into one city, but they didn't.
Conflux, right?

Conflux appeared in Armageddon's Blade, but it doesn't seem to be present in The Restoration of Erathia.

And in the add-on for the 6th installment, the Dungeon will appear.

I implore you, Nick. The Conflux was hastily made “from what was available.” Armageddon's Blade was supposed to have a Forge, but due to fan outrage, they quickly slapped together a Conflux and released it with that. That doesn't count.

Surprisingly, they were there! They were the only neutral creatures in Erathia!

They weren't the only ones. There were also diamond and gold golems. ;)

With Forge, the outrage came not from fans, but from a group of idiots who were only familiar with Heroes through its multiplayer aspect and hadn't bothered to learn about the series' origins and plot. And the direct reason for the cancellation was that among this couple of hundred, one obsessed individual sent a letter threatening physical violence.

Hell, I generally agree with you about the bunch of idiots, but that's not what we're talking about right now. And there were quite a few of them at that time.

Nothing like that. I am familiar with the history, with the role of the Ancients in it, but I still can't imagine this horror in the gameplay. Let them remain history, because a tank with a naked woman, a goblin with a cannon, and a zombie with a chainsaw... No, it smells like deviations. IMHO.

And they replaced it with a flawed Conflux, plus the imbalance is noticeable.

And I'm not sure that Forge could fit as harmoniously into "Heroes" as, for example, helicopters, self-propelled mortars, and goblin slicers with the same saws fit into "WarCraft". In order to successfully introduce such a specific Faction, it needs to be worked on skillfully, and the sketches from "3DO" leave much to be desired.

And in my opinion, it's not deviations, but technical progress: p

If it's not difficult, could you briefly explain the cancellation of Forge (or provide a link to more details about this story)?

I'm playing WoW, and all this "steampunk" stuff is annoying. Warcraft isn't steampunk, so why are they adding this nonsense?
In WoW, especially with the introduction of goblins, the level of technology has been raised to truly strange heights. In the Heroes of Might and Magic games, all of this fit into the world because there was a certain limit, but in WoW, that limit has been forgotten. IMHO.

The easiest way to find a brief explanation is on Lurkmore:
The developers initially wanted to include the Forge faction, a Castle of sorts for all kinds of bio-technological weirdos (like naga tanks, goblins with guns, and zombies with chainsaws for hands, and other wonders). This was related to the endings of Might & Magic 7. They planned to make the "evil" ending canonical, in which a piece of the ship was used to launch the Sky Forge, producing pew-pew rayguns and other things to establish world domination. But then they chose the "good" ending, in which that same piece launches the Stargates. When Forge was announced and the concepts were demonstrated, the devout Heroes of Might and Magic fans on the entire planet united in a common effort and bombarded the idea with criticism on all possible forums and declared it heresy. The developers quickly put together a hodgepodge, not caring about balance or anything like that. That's the story.

I want to see elves. Or dark elves. Actually, I'd like to see anyone. Except maybe dwarves, I'm not particularly interested in them.

What if there are other factions? Will they add Pegasi, for example? It's not necessary to leave them the same.
I didn't really understand them in the fifth game. But I liked the dark ones. They were a bit weak, though.

In Heroes of Might and Magic V, I only liked the first unit of the Dungeon faction. In general, both factions have relatively decent units. However, they are only decent compared to Warcraft and its units, but unfortunately, they are not as good compared to the units in Heroes.
