Well, they could at least include a couple of units from other factions as cameos, initially as free neutral units, and have them reside in certain dwellings, perhaps in future patches. For example, they could add a unicorn as a creature or golems – like in Heroes of Might and Magic III, where various types of golems lived in the Factory.
But, of course, everything comes down to balance.

For example, a unicorn as an animal, or golems – in Heroes of Might and Magic III, golems lived in the Factory, and there were various types. :smile13:
I agree, it would be nice to have that; the same water elementals in the Naga dwellings or light elementals for humans – the animation and model would still be the same.

Let's have Egyptian mages, not Arab ones (sphinxes, painted golems).

Nah... "Egyptians" already exist – Necropolis, although it draws more from Mesopotamia, but there's definitely something from Egypt present. But there are no "Arabs" at all, anywhere.

or you could take a culture from Africa (there were several empires there that were similar in size and history to Mesopotamia)

sorry, I might have exaggerated a bit, but it's a good idea

you could give the Indian culture to the Mages.

maybe give the mages an Indian culture

Mage Hindus – an interesting idea. Or Hindus plus Persians, something like Indo-Iranians.

In general, I wish official information about the upcoming expansion would appear sooner. There's been too much silence lately... it's a bit worrying, I hope Ubisoft hasn't given up on Heroes.

It's just... strangely quiet... almost unsettling. I hope Ubisoft hasn't completely abandoned the Heroes series.

gvn, please read the last few pages in the "Heroes 6 - Discussion" thread. We won't be hearing about an expansion pack anytime soon. Let's hope for an announcement within the year.

the problem with the new culture is that the developers mixed several cultures into one. For example, the Nagas are Indian mythological creatures, Kirins are Chinese dragons, and I don't know about the rest, but the point is that the problem with the new race's culture is that only the Aztecs and Africans were left untouched from the ancient cultures.

and by the way, Rakshasas and Nagas are representatives of Indian culture.

denk28, please don't be lazy and use punctuation.

I prefer mages in an Arabic style. Or in an Egyptian style: that would be more relevant for Heroes 6.

Probably, that's how it will be. It's unlikely that they will differ stylistically from those in Heroes 5; it wouldn't make much sense.

And I'm looking forward to the mages and wizards in the first expansion. I like playing as mages. And I also like that they will be released first.

100% the Mages will have them, since they said the Dragon won't be there... and the Mages already have Titans.

That's no longer a certainty, as the developer has changed. There are several possible scenarios: first, a DLC with mages, and then an expansion with dark elves; the opposite; only elves are released (they appear more often in the plot than mages); or nothing at all. But! We already see so many bugs in the game, even with only 5 factions... And this is the work of the original developers. What should we expect from the successors?... Of course, we should hope for the best, but I spent almost half a year discussing this in the main thread for the sixth installment. And the more you get your hopes up, the more painful it is to accept reality. Therefore, firstly, I'm not expecting anything anymore, and secondly, I believe that the sixth game needs to be polished to a mirror shine (i.e., no bugs and good balance, plus tweaking the skill system and simplifying the editor), and several missing elements should be implemented (town screen, random map generator, simultaneous turn system). Then, we should put a period at the end, find a worthy developer, and start working on the next installment, because the sixth game is ruined.

Here, the elves are something completely new :) Especially their champions.

For the Sylvan faction, the champions will likely be Ents, unless they come up with something new for them. As for the Dungeon faction, they will probably have Faceless Ones, or variations on that theme. Of course, they might make Hydras instead of Faceless Ones, but that's unlikely.
