http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39830&PID=1591218#focus>However, as some players have already guessed, we are working on the Forge – an evil, technology-based faction that was originally supposed to appear back in Armageddon's Blade until it was replaced by the Conflux. Recognizing that players may have polar opinions on such content, we will implement this faction under the campaign content rules, similar to heroes like Gelu or Kilgor. And yes, the hero under the purple flag you've seen in some of our materials is indeed one of this faction.>The Forge itself and its elements will not appear on random maps unless allowed on a specific template, and it (along with all related elements – monsters, thematic objects, etc.) will not be available by default on most maps. However, we are considering supplying some special maps and templates that will feature the Forge, but their list has not been determined yet. Lava will be this town's native terrain. Its gameplay will revolve around powerful, yet low-numbered and costly creatures.>The Forge is currently at an earlier stage of development than the Bulwark was at the time of its announcement, so don't expect it to appear as quickly. Our absolute priority is the quality of what we introduce into the game. We intend to take as much time as is needed to ensure that the Forge's quality is equal to that of the previously implemented towns.>By the way, this faction, along with the Bulwark and Factory, will be introduced as expansions for the official Heroes III Board Game. In the Board Game, the Forge will look slightly different from that in HotA, but both versions will be consistent.

By DrSlash and Balkron]>In the context of the Forge's development, we actively trade ideas with the Board Game's creators, and also with Gregory Fulton, the lead designer of Heroes of Might & Magic III. Notably, it was Gregory who conceived the character showcased in the screenshot. Her name is Zeestral, and there's a significant connection between her and one of the most iconic heroes in the original game.>By the way, we were able to ask Gregory many questions, receiving extremely intriguing answers. Expect a publication that will shed light on many mysteries that have long interested the Heroes community.
Blud who hates sci fi in fantasy has to be fuming over this
Weren't the assets for this faction leaked like decades ago? How the fuck did nobody think to actually implement it until now? Is everyone involved stupid?
>>737616049Not that much was finished
A sleeper agent on a us military base is being activated for this sin

>>737619807sry, gotta fix my bot that spams shill thread.thanks anon, enjoy homm
Do heroes players not know the mainline games have always had scifi elements? There are laser guns, orbital nukes, and space ships in mainline M&M games.
>>737622302Some don't. Others do and fucking hate it for some reason.
>>737622302most HoMM players have never touched the RPG series
>Slav mod>Adds slav stuffBased or cringe?
>>737622302I don't careFantasy is fun and coolSci FI is lame and gayI like homm3 and dont want lame and gay shit in it.
>>737623134why would it be cringe?
>>737623571NTA but it's always a little weird to me when a fan project from a region unrelated to an IP adds stuff from their IP. Like when Japan gets the ability to use a Western IP and adds a ton of Japanese shit to it.
>>737624061Moscow exists in Viking We Shall Go so it's canon
