Posts from Future expansions.

What's the point? Ubisoft doesn't read the forum, so it's completely useless.

Judging by the known factions, there should be at least one new creature and one female creature. This topic is only for speculating about the factions that will be in the expansions; if you want to come up with your own faction, create a separate topic for that.

Yeah, and let's have one creature be African American, so there's no discrimination:D

I didn't want to invent a new faction. I just thought that someone else might find it as interesting as I do. Just to speculate about the units...

Well, you can still make predictions even without specifying exact percentages :).

By the way, somewhere at the beginning of the thread, people were already guessing who would be the hero for the High Elves ;).

By the way, somewhere at the beginning of the thread, people were already guessing who would be in the Light Elf faction.

More precisely, which composition is better: Factions: Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Normal: Heroes of Might and Magic 5. I prefer the normal one because... well... it's more normal and logical.

So, let's speculate about the units...

Well, it's only possible to guess about their appearance. After all, for no particular reason, they gave the Kappa a jump ability instead of the ability to suck souls through their anus, which the "original Kappa" had.

And also, what specific creatures will be in each of the factions.

I think the Academy should definitely have: golems, mages, and titans (although I'm not so sure about the latter). The main thing is that there shouldn't be any mechanical dragons. And about the dwarves. They could have been included, but they will appear in the second expansion pack, and even then, it's not a certainty. It's all because they don't have any real rivals. Their squabbling in the tunnels began after the appearance of the Dark Elves.

well, based on the latest trailer from the prologue, it's almost certain that the Dark Elves and Sylvan factions will be included.

Centaur, of course, I understand your opinion, but it's too early to give a 100% certainty. Looking at the game itself and the developers' approach, we can conclude: N - (Will not be), B - (Will be). Units from the third game: Goblins - N 10% B 90%. This is a classic. They also fit into the history of Ashan. But a possible change of culture from Arabic to Ancient Egyptian (looking at the academy's symbol) could change everything. Gargoyles - N 65% B 35%. This is already excess baggage. They didn't fit into the culture of the Arabs either. Golems - N 50% B 50%. Quite possible, but there is no factual evidence to confirm or deny it. Mages - N 70% B 30%. The developers' approach doesn't allow them to be part of the faction. Firstly, mana and spells have been taken away from creatures, and the "helper" qualification (spirits, vestals, dream walkers, etc.) can be taken by Djinns or some "new, unknown entity." Djinns - N 5% B 95%. A classic, and they've already found a role (see above). Nagas - N 99.9% B 0.1%. I think everyone understands why. Titans - N 20% B 80%. Well, who else should be at the top? Units from the fifth game: Only Nagas have been replaced. Rashakassi - N 50% B 50%. Who knows... And the tactic is as follows: 2 ranged units (in extreme cases, one), (the top unit doesn't count), one of them must always shoot directly and without penalties. One helper (something like a mage-healer, blesser, or curser). 2 or 3 melee units. For now, our helper is a Djinn. One of the ranged units is a Goblin, but not one that shoots a direct arrow. That's all for now. We're thinking, people are thinking. P.S. I almost don't know the mythology of the Egyptians.

The Sylvan faction will definitely be included, as it is mentioned in both the dialogues and the mission descriptions in the game. They say that the Academy will also be included, as there are already links for it in the editor. Now, I am focusing on making that happen for the first expansion pack.

I think so too, and they'll save the "TE" for last.

Rashkassy - N 50% 50% A who knows...

I think there's a very high chance they'll be included; these creatures are clearly popular with Ubisoft.

Magi - N 70% B 30% The developers' technology doesn't allow them to be part of a faction. Firstly, they've removed mana and spells from creatures, and the "helper" qualification (spirits, vestals, dream walkers, etc.) can be taken by Djinns or something else.

What prevents both of them from being support units? For example, the Nagas have two ranged support units, and that's fine.

Centaur, of course, I understand your opinion, but it's too early to give it a 100% rating. If you look at the game itself and the developers' techniques, you can conclude: N - (It won't happen), B - (It will happen).

--- Overquoting ---

That's all for now. Let's think. P.S. I don't know much about Egyptian mythology.

Very interesting analysis, thank you.

Mages - 70% Magic, 30% Battle. The developers' design doesn't allow them to be part of a faction. Firstly, they removed mana and spells from creatures, and the "helper" qualification (spirits, vestals, dream walkers, etc.) can be taken by Djinns or some "new, unknown unit."

What prevents both types from being support units? For example, the Nagas have two ranged support units, and that's fine.Well, maybe they will be, and most likely they will be, but in a different form. In their old form, I only gave them 30% because they would remain. Maybe they will be Wizards (the old, good neutral unit) or even a female unit...

Regarding the mage/wizard, I think that's what the mage hero from the Academy faction will be called.
