a large number of major expansions

5 types of trees, 10 beds, 7 chairs, 3 hairstyles, and 12 shirts. What incredibly major expansions!

I mean not catalogs, but expansions that significantly change the gameplay: Pets, Seasons, World Adventures, and the like.

However, we shouldn't stray from the topic. In any case, the probability that they will release more than two major expansions for the sixth installment is low.

DLC for the Academy, which everyone is talking about. And then – the final add-on with the light elves. As for the dwarves, I'm not sure. Although Ubisoft knows how to surprise us. They might introduce dwarves instead of elves in the second add-on.

Well, Heroes can't be without the Academy! They just can't!!!!! Without the Academy, they're not really heroes anymore! Or rather, they're still Heroes, but not the same...

More precisely, it's Heroes, but not the same ones...

Well, Heroes VI is exactly that – like Heroes, but not quite the same. So, there are no problems here.

New factions will not be added in the DLC. It would be too large compared to the DLCs that have already been released.

In my opinion, the release of an expansion featuring mages is quite possible. Just think about encountering a mage from the seven cities in the DLC "Pirates of the Wild Sea". :smile13:

But they can. The first part, including the cities of Knights, Barbarians, Warlocks, and Wizards (the prototype of Elves), existed perfectly well without such an Academy faction.

In my opinion, the release of an expansion pack featuring mages is quite possible. Just think about meeting a mage from the seven cities in the "Pirates of the Wild Seas" DLC.:smile13:

My predictions:
1. An expansion pack featuring the Eastern Exiles (well, this is hardly a prediction anymore)
2. A DLC featuring the Academy (because they don't really fit into the plot of Heroes 6)
-the first expansion pack included 2 new factions
3. An expansion pack featuring the Shadow Elves (I assume it will be called "Tears of Fire")
4. A DLC featuring the Dwarves (also like the Academy)
-and the second expansion pack will include 2 new factions

TOTAL: THE DEVELOPERS' PROMISE HAS BEEN FULFILLED: "TWO EXPANSION PACKS WITH TWO FACTIONS EACH"

So, now it is known that the expansion will indeed feature those units. It's strange, but they once appeared in my dream, when they were storming some fortress, and their style was monotonously purple.
A few thoughts:
Units. As you can see, most factions have the same units. For example: Basic - 1 unit with physical attack, 1 ranged unit, 1 support unit (magical attack or attack and return). Elite - 1 elemental unit, 1 unit with physical attack, and 1 unit with magical attack (mage). Champion - there is a champion. Therefore:
Basic: Minotaur, Beholder, Beast.
Elite: Witch, Manticore, Shadow (elemental).
Champion: Faceless One.
But I feel sorry for the Hydra....
Their main specialty is, of course, increasing magical attack.

NiKShoKer, Ubisoft stated that there will be no more elementals in the new factions. Apparently, Humans and Nagas have them, as Ubisoft needed to include as many female units as possible in the factions.

Thanks, Shukfir, I'll keep that in mind. Can you tell me what else Ubisoft is saying about new factions? (I'm talking about quality, not quantity).

NiKShoKer, I remembered a few things from what Ubi said. Maybe this isn't everything they talked about:

New factions, unlike Haven and Sanctuary, will not contain elementals. Sylvan will not have Earth elementals, and Dungeon will not have Darkness elementals. They don't plan to replace the Luminaries and River Spirits with other units or change their models.

Some factions cannot exist without dragons in their creature lineup.

Things that didn't fit into the world were removed, including gremlins, kobolds, trolls, and gnolls.

The large number of female creatures was a design decision when the creature lineups were revised. Also, Ashan is a world of equal opportunities.

Personally, I'm against dragons being used as Champions (unless they are half-dragons. For example, fire dragons among the dwarves could work). And I feel sorry for the Gremlin. Although... creatures wearing fur coats and serving desert mages... it really doesn't fit. If there was a world of equal opportunities, I could play as both an archer and a snow man, but as it is, they are just units. This is what diversity means.

Anything that didn't fit into the world was removed, including the gremlins.

I agree, it's a little sad that they were removed, but looking at the replacement, I understand that I don't regret it at all. :rolleyes:
