Personally I think a sci-fi concept town is bad, and furthermore, the forge town units appears too much like a copycat of everything from every town i.e. goblins with mechanics, zombie with mechanics, naga with mechanics?
Simply hard to imagine battling a laser + rocket launcher goblin with axes and swords
HOMMIII is too entirely fantasy base as it is, which makes it impossible to imagine adding a sci-fi protion to it

If you red the post, you'd see I wasn't talking about the forge. Alchemy has its place in the heroes world: I don't have machine guns or rocket launchers, I have steam and metal.
Damn, I think I was too sleepy yesterday. Could swear I had posted this in the library of enlightment section, as this is an idea for heroes 3. Like I said, I don't plan on making it happen, it's just an imagination exercise.
If a moderator relocated my thread could he warn me, as I will, after a while, post this in the other section.

It was me who moved this thread, coz i think for the matter of fact we won´t see any new stuff for H3 anymore, neither for H4, coz H5 will be released soon, i guess your (and others) ideas shouldn´t get lost but can perhaps get implemented in H5 (expansions).
See The_Hydras thread about town contest in H5.

At angelito: yup, with heroes 5 on the way I guess most efforts will be redirected.
Still I continue to say this is just something out of my head, with no intention that someone tries to do it. I just wanted to hear some feedback and thoughts on it.
Moreover I pictured the whole thing with a beautifful 2d heroes 3 typical town scenario, as well as other stuff; it's a very contextualized idea.
On the other hand, if the concept arises some interest in the heroes 5 section I'm open to dialogue on it.
However amgelito, I'd still like to ask your permission to post this in the library of enlightment.
At Zielevitz: isn't that inspired in a deus ex 2 enemy? Anyway, I copied just the name, the creature in itself was to be different, but I guess you knew that after reading my post. Good luck with your project.

I've never felt the forge town had much promise, it just does'nt fit in the heroes of might and magic genre. go play Age of Planets if you want machines.

Please, just tell me that you didn't read the M&M world story. If not, you have to read it, to understand WHY Forge fit perfectlly to the HoMM3.

Forge town is bad because as most of you said, does not fit into the magical realm of HoMM. It is also impossible to run machines in an age when even old blast furnance is an rarety. Then, even if machines are around, electricity and petrol were not put to use until industrial ages.
Unless Thomas Edison is born couple of centuries earlier, forge town can only damage the reputation of HoMM.

Cyborgs is not from middle-age so i really don't think Forge town will match homm tanks and robots is not md-age too but they could maybe start there own game and set it in....

Well if you want to know - NO!!!! The HEROES 3 is not at the MIDDLE-AGE!!!! Kreegans ARE NOT DEMONS! They are ALIENS which look as DEMONS! Archangels is NOT Archangels but GENETIC-MAKED monsters. The HOMM3 Actions is turning in the silence time, when the connect betweet Erathia and the Ancients was cutted off and all these HI-TECH races HAVE TO be barbarians. For more, read the HOMM STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People, please, read the post then comment.
What's really frustrating is writing some ideas down and then having this whole diferent war (and from what I saw, was pretty big) in a thread that says along the first lines "Strangely, today I red about the forge for the first time. At first glance my idea may seem similar, but I assure you it's not, they're actually very different.".
I didn't even know what the forge idea was when I was thinking of mine, so I say again, this has got nothing to do with 50cal heavy machine guns, big rocket launchers and tank threads, it is about clockwork mechanics, steam powered, or magically animated robots and contraptions used mainly for close combat with blades and metal fists - I only have one shooter unit, the others aren't even certain.
Maybe it's not known for some players, but there's quite an imaginarium about it, and I wouldn't pitcture it for heroes 3 if I didn't see the co-relations. I'm not putting you down Zielevitz, I whish luck for your project, but I also think the forge theme is a bit off, story-related or not.
I ask again to the modereators to post this thing in heroes 3 section cause I really wanted to ear the opinion of the heroes 3 players.
Anyway, I don't know what time is around the different places, but happy new year.
