By the way, the inscription "DLC" clearly suggests that the Academy faction will not be introduced in an expansion pack.

It’s unlikely that there will be both an expansion pack and DLC. More likely, there will be just one, and it seems that it will be a DLC.

Goblins are not beastmen; they are creatures bred through experiments on goblins.

What's your point? :confused:

In any case, if the DLC comes out before the expansion, the faction from the DLC will still be included in the expansion :)!

And, frankly, I can't imagine how you could introduce a faction without a campaign for it and multiplayer maps with a new type of terrain :(.

What are you getting at?
I think you mean this, although it's a bit late: ;)
Well, there shouldn't be a particularly complicated story about escaping from the mages – among the beastmen, only goblins remain.

Could you provide a link to a screenshot featuring the Academy emblem? I remember seeing it on some artifact, but I can't recall which one.

In my opinion, that's exactly what was missing – an academic symbol. But most likely, it will remain a month with a star from the fifth game: the factions from Heroes of Might and Magic VI haven't changed their symbols (except for Inferno).

Well, the moon and star are essentially a symbol of Islam. If nothing changes in the Academy's culture, it will likely remain that way. Besides, only the Sylvan and the Dungeon, as well as the Fortress, have decent symbols – they are in the form of a dragon. These don't really suit as faction symbols, and that's why I'd say there's only a 10% chance that they will remain the same after the release of the second expansion pack.

No, the Academy symbol was also on that artifact. I often forgot about it too. It looks like an eye in a loop, I think.

I couldn't find that artwork (there are over five hundred pages in the "Discussion" thread :rolleyes:), but I found a replacement on Google:

There's something strange about the mages' symbol. Their culture and style are inspired by the East, where Islam is prevalent. But this symbol is Christian. The eye represents the All-Seeing Eye of God. Will they change their style? Or will they combine Orthodox (ancient Rus') and Islamic (Eastern) styles?

And judging by the latest interview, we'll find out about the expansion pack in about half a year.

What the heck, are they Christians? The image shows an ankh, an Egyptian symbol. So, either it's an old Necropolis symbol, or the mages are now also Egyptians, and no longer Arabs.

The image shows an ankh.
That's true. I confused it with a Christian cross.

We can start discussing and brainstorming – what units will be included in future expansions for each faction. What were the requirements? What percentage of new creatures? How many female units? And so on...

For now, please answer this question. It's urgent!
