Well, there shouldn't be any particularly complicated story regarding escaping from the mages – among the beastmen, only gremlins remain. It's more difficult to explain why they, like the Nagas and Faceless Ones, disappeared by the time of "Heroes of Might and Magic V". And personally, I don't like this faction – even the name itself is off-putting.

I would like to see an expansion pack featuring dwarves.

I voted for the Sylvan faction, but I wouldn't mind the Academy either. As for the Dungeon faction, I liked the Warlock castle with 3 heroes more, while the swamp was my least favorite castle.

For some reason, I only liked the Swamp faction and Inferno. Well, maybe the Barbarians too. And it's completely unclear why the first one was removed without finding an equivalent. I could, for example, create a storyline for the Swamp faction in Heroes 6, but: a) The ending will be sad. b) Without Ubisoft's approval, all of this will be a Sisyphean task. Regarding who will be the first – it will be the Academy, with a patch from Ubisoft. Next will be the Elves. Sincerely.

I suggest we try to predict when we'll see a new expansion pack :). My prediction: somewhere around a year from now. As food for thought, here's the release schedule for the expansions for "Heroes of Might and Magic V": - Heroes of Might and Magic V was released in May 2006; - "Hammers of Fate" was released in November 2006 (5 months later :eek:!); - "Tribes of the East" was released in October 2007 (11 months after the first expansion). Based on this, it seems that it takes about a year to create a high-quality expansion pack with two factions (unconfirmed information). What are your predictions and corrections?

What are your predictions and suggestions?

The Academy will definitely be released much earlier and as DLC: they simply didn't have time to integrate it into the game before the release. It's not a given that there will be such a long gap between the original game and the expansions. You yourself noted that Hammers of Fate was released a couple of months after the original Heroes 5. I think it will take about six months or less for the expansion to be released.

I think they will introduce both the Stronghold and the Tribes of the East in one expansion pack. And the story will probably be related to the conflict between these two factions. It will take about a year and a half until the next release.

DLC is unlikely. Although this information is unconfirmed, it is still worth expecting two expansions with two factions each. And why specifically the Academy? Judging by the editor, it seems they simply didn't have time to add the Dark Elves. I also hope for two types of elves. However, a year and a half is too pessimistic. Although 2 months doesn't sound very realistic either... Oh, if only we could hear an official announcement sooner.

Has anyone noticed that in the editor, when selecting a faction for a player from the list of factions, the Academy is present?

Unexpectedly :eek:. So, one of the factions that will be in the first expansion pack is known :).

Hooray! I like the Academy faction.

Hmm, I'll be glad to see any new features in the game, but the Academy seems to me to be the least interesting faction in the game; at the very least, a separate branch of magic will have to be created for it, as will be the case for the Warlocks, otherwise it won't have any power.

Well, there shouldn't be a particularly complex story about escaping from the mages – only Goblins remain of the beastmen. It's harder to explain why they, like the Nagas and Faceless Ones, disappeared by the time of the fifth installment. And personally, I don't like this faction – even the name itself is off-putting.

The reason is not complicated. Considering who we want to pit them against, the conclusion is: the Swamp and Sanctuary are irreconcilable enemies (we already know how it will end, but the main thing is how), and the Faceless Ones benefit from their feud for their "certain" plans.

Has anyone noticed that in the editor, in the list of factions, when you choose one for the player, the Academy is present.

I think the developers initially created a large number of cities (factions).
But in order for each to have its own unique characteristics, time is needed, which they don't have. This is a marketing ploy. They release a game with only a part of more or less playable factions. While we are enjoying the sixth Heroes of Might and Magic, they:
-make money from the release
-fix the shortcomings
-develop a more or less playable add-on
-make money from the add-on
-fix the add-on
-develop a more or less playable second add-on
-make money from the second add-on
-fix the second add-on

It would be nice if the add-ons came out faster :o. Although, I would like them to fix the shortcomings of the initial release and not add new ones :rolleyes:.

As you know, the desert is a landscape featured in the Academy faction, starting from the fifth installment. Therefore, the screenshot provides further confirmation that mages will be present in the game.
The screenshot can be found here.
