Oh ya, the Syron is a powerful infantry, banished from Haven, they turn bad, that's way they were exiled. They have the thunder strike, forgot to mention it.

Sorry, but it still needs a core race. I did read through all of it. Also, the Valkyries are kindof Norse guardians, why are they banished?

well it's like a refugee camp, how in the world should I come up with a history? Probably because they were banished by their races, due to their lack of help in defeating Biara, or necro, or inferno, they will probably go after them, they will hate the 2 factions. I will not go into years, like 500 B.C. because I don't like that.
Anyway I will finish soon my Swamp project, and I promise you, no AoM influence.

i've got some suggestions... how bout they created a faction called the the Hive* (also known as the Faceless)? but don't think this is an insectoid-like race... they're more like the forgotten ancient dark creatures from the deepest depth of the earth similar to the Mindflayer race from the Dungeons and Dragons universe and the Forgotten Ones from the Warcraft universe. Their history involves them helping the Dark Elves escape the city of Irollan, the capital city of the elvish kingdom, which ended up with their entire "extincion" thanks to the angels of Elrath... after ages have past, the denizens of AShan thought that these Faceless were nothing but a forgotten memory... or so they thought.
Anyway, their structures are more alien-like and their skin is dark ranging from gray to dark blue to black and leathery (or chitinous, like a beetle's). they have a disfiguring hollow voice as they speak or growl. and their special racial ability is something to do with mental-psychic powers .
well, im not really sure it's going to sell... but it's kinda cool for a concept though...
*(if any of you are in favor of my opinion, can you suggest a better name similar to this and reply to me)

I think the Fortress faction, like the one from heroes 3, should be more focused on reptilian units... their strongest unit should be serpentine dragon called the Swamp Dragon. and the swamp dragons alternate upgrades should be the Leviathan* and the Tiamat*.
**(if you guys don't know what these are, those are mythical creatures of mythlogy)^^

I really am sorry if I seem to be attacking someone or just plainly rude but I think that the naga faction/town is overused. But I admit the naga from HOMM 3 is cool, but really, that's the end of the story. Are we all Heroes of Might and Magic psychos forgetting that we are playing a game that is all about myth and fantasy. I am really disgustipated (and that's not a bad word at all) seeing here proposals for ALIEN OR PREDATOR. No offense, seriously, but if we like to imagine how Homm6 will be or even a so-called third add-on for Homm5, let's play it in heroes style. I said it before and I'll say it again: anything that has a touch of modernism in a homm game, will ruin it. Guns,creatures that don't belong to mythology or medieval fantasy.... and the list goes on..(and no, I'm not that narrow-minded)
I saw some post in here a couple of weeks ago, in which Daystar mentioned he really craved for werewolves. I hated the idea then but thinking more deeper, I realised that it's a really ok idea as long as it stays a neutral or a low-tier creature. Also, vampires are meant for the necropolis. That suits them ossom.
Greek mythology is full of really interesting creatures (and really, 45% of all homm creatures come from that direction). The manticore should join a faction and look nicer than the Cernobyl experiment from Homm5. The Homm3 fortress is a really really nice faction with great creatures like the basilisk, the gnoll, etc. (I so miss the old wyvern that actually looks like a wyvern and not a pig-dragon from h5.)
There are many many things to say, and I really have a lot of cool ideas but don't really have the time to post them in all of their depth. One thing is for sure tho...
Whatever H6 will be, it will be good. I have a feelin'.
But back to the post... i voted other: 'read' H3 fortress w/o gorgon (which all of you know, means medusa) and w/o hydra. they should come up with smth better cause i like the hydra in dungeon.
oh yeah... Tiamat, nice one broken_halo... lovely idea.
good luck. byez

i appreciate your honest opinion regarding my suggestion... but tendencies of contemporary fantasy games is to copy and/or borrow concepts from concepts of earlier fantasy games (or novels and shows) and/or legends and mythology. although contemporary fantasy games tend to be more complex, whether it be the storyline, events, characters, magic, creatures, etc. (example: later editions of Dungeons and Dragons, Dungeon Siege, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft 3 and WoW, Titan Quest series, Neverwinter Nights, and the like). But it would be cool if a faction that wicked would be included in the M&M universe.
i also liked your idea Greek mythological creatures. however, theres already a cyclops, centaur, minotaur, and gryphon (*griffin* -apparently sharing mythologies with the medieval kinds)... l
lemme ask: what's your suggestion on a new faction?

You know what race i'd like to see? A water race. Not like the Naga, that's a swamp town. I'd like to see demons that were shut out of Sheogh and turned into water dwellers to protect themselves from the world. Or revive Heroes 3 Fortress. The creature faction must live again!

I would like that. But it would need a core race. Merpeople, perhaps, Kappa, Kelpies, or Wereplesiosaurs? (Needs a better name)
Also, if the Free cities means more humans then I say no, because we already have 3 human towns. However, if the Free Cities are very different (Griffins as a core race, for example, or something like that) I would like it.
Actually, my desires are very simple: I want something incredibly old, but very new.
