Of course, I would also like to see the Swamp faction appear, but we need to be realistic; Nival is unlikely to create this race. However, we can hope for the help of talented fans.

You haven't played Heroes 3, have you?!

Who am I, or Magic Man? Heroes 3 and Heroes 3.5 used to be my favorite game! But then Heroes 5 came out and captivated me, and I forgot about Heroes 3 and don't want to remember it! Although, I did try to create my own faction there! Now that Nival has finished its last product, Heroes 5: Tribes of the East, I'm going to try to create a "Swamp" faction! And just as the HOM team made 3.5 for Heroes 3, someone will make 5.5 for Heroes 5!:smile17:

Sorry, 3DogMZA. That was Magic Man - y who said that. As for the topic, the more factions, the better.

If there are too many factions, their quality will suffer, and the balance will be poor (how many factions would need to be balanced!).

9 races are just right. :) For the Tribes of the East, they need elementals, bringing the total to 8!

9 races is just right. :) For the 8 that will be in Lords of Magic, you need elementals!

9 races is great! It is almost impossible to make an Elemental Castle now because all elementals are equal and have level 4! Unless you add a level 7 Phoenix to them and come up with something for levels 2 and 3! So that they have balance, they won't have levels 1, 5, and 6! But still, it would be better to bring back the SWAMP! They will have Gnolls and Lizards as their main units! And they also have a Basilisk and a Gorgon! Make the Basilisk level 7 and very large, a snake that can crawl over everything and even over the walls of the castle, and also attack from below (something like a Griffin, but crawling out of the ground)! The Gorgon will be level 5! Level 6 will be a Gnoll-Witch (archer like the League of Shadows), level 4 will be a Swamp Warrior (sticks to the ground like an Ent)! Level 3 will be a Gnoll riding a snake! Level 2 will be a Lizard Archer (shoots poison)! Level 1 will be a large mosquito:D! The heroes of the swamp will ride Gorgons or snakes! So, how do you like my imagination?:rolleyes:

9 factions are great! It's becoming almost impossible to create an Elemental Castle because all elementals are equal and have level 4! Perhaps you could add a level 7 Phoenix and come up with something for levels 2 and 3! To maintain balance, they shouldn't have levels 1, 5, and 6! But still, it would be better to bring back the Swamp! The main creatures would be Gnolls and Lizards. And they also have a Basilisk and a Gorgon! Make the Basilisk a level 7 creature, a very large snake that can crawl over everything and even over castle walls, and also attack from below (something like a Griffin, but emerging from the ground)! The Gorgon will be a level 5 creature! Level 6: Gnoll Witch (archer like the League of Shadows), level 4: Swamp Warrior (sticks to the ground like an Ent)! Level 3: Gnoll riding a snake! Level 2: Lizard Archer (shoots poison)! Level 1: Large mosquito:D! Swamp heroes will ride Gorgons or snakes! So, what do you think of my imagination?:rolleyes:

:D The mosquito idea is just mean, you shouldn't be so cruel! And give it an ability - blood-sucking, i.e., life drain! But a Basilisk is unlikely to be an underground creature... it's better to give it an ability like some kind of hypnosis - depriving the enemy of initiative for a couple of turns... And it would be better to make the Gnoll ride a toad instead of a snake: D - so it can jump over obstacles! ....and long live complete imbalance!:D))

Restless. Endless. Mindless.

The more factions, the more interesting the gameplay. It’s a pity that “Orcs” is the last add-on.

We will try our best, and this won't be the last expansion! Swamp, forward!

in the swamp, we need the following:
1) a troglodyte (or something similar, a frog-like humanoid) =)
2) something like a hive from the 4th game (a ranged attacker)

also, a lizard with (I don't remember the name, but something like a halberd)
a gnoll, similar to the one in the 3rd game, but bigger
some kind of witch, in the form of a lizard or something else
a large basilisk or gorgon)
and a flying creature, like the mantis from the 4th game)

Be strong. Believe

Arandor, thanks for reminding me about the Troglodyte! Of all the creatures, he's definitely one that should be included in the Dungeon! A real slimy monster, and I couldn't figure out who to put on the first level – a mosquito came to mind, but what's he compared to a Troglodyte?! :D

Kill the Dwarves, keep the Barbarians, add neutral creatures, and create a unique race that no one has ever seen in any game, something that would be incredibly engaging with its unique abilities (insane combat tactics, crazy buildings, etc.), and the game would be wildly popular. Hmm... a race of madmen would fit perfectly. And their global goals would be so outrageous that it would make everyone burst out laughing %))). In short, a super-fun and super-crazy race!!!

P.S.

I, for example, don't even acknowledge the existence of Dwarves as a race!

Why don't you acknowledge Dwarves? What did they do to offend you????

Much more than that.

1). They have a dragon. There are already three dragons in the game (Necro, Dark, and Elf). The Dwarves have a fourth one.
2). Dwarves use cheat-like runes, which is where the imbalance comes from.
3). Dwarves are a race completely without any zest. There is nothing about them that really grabs you. For Mages, it's the floating castle; for Dark ones, it's the matriarchy and debauchery, with half-naked girls and whips; Necros have a whole cult going back to Heroes 3; Knights have valor and spirituality; Elves have a beautiful city and are beautiful themselves. As for Demons—just remembering Agrael is enough to be gripping. But Dwarves are just some race of old farts.
4). They are the only race where there are many humanoids across all levels from 1-6.
5). And they worship a dragon on top of that. Absolute nonsense. I read that Dwarves worship Thor, and his hammer is sacred to them.

Everything suggests that this race is unfinished and rushed, and therefore has no right to exist. Of course, I understand that the developers needed a race for the snow, but now Barbarians have taken that place. Dwarves must die!
