My Heroes Spinoff: HOMW
Well, all these other people are doin' it, why can't I?
So, Heroes of Magic and Wonder. I know what your thinking: magic already is in HOMM. In fact, it's in the title! But the differance is that it takes place around this timeline. Humans have moved on. They no longer believe in magic and have guns and tanks and all. The government has recently discovered a new continent: Magitara! However, the locals are strange and their practices are even stranger. The government has sent the military out to investigate... ...and rediscover magic!
All factions (except Stronghold and Outpost) have a form of magic at their disposal. The factions are as follows:
The Military
Outpost: The military forces have arrived in Magitara armed with guns and vechicals to blast the current inhabitants far away. What they didn't expect was how powerful magic really is... ...and that an ally can be anywhere...

Grells are in as a susbitute for goblins, cause they get Voodoo. But if you don't like grells I'll put something else in.

Plot-based suggestion: have magic infuse your upgraded units. For instance, the Military faction has Marines as a tier one unit; upgrading them implements magic into the tech of their weapons, or what-not, and call them...I don't know. Magic Marines sounds too much like something releaed by Crayola. But something to that effect.
I don't imagine that the Military would just ignore a "new" source of firepower. History has shown that, when it comes to finding new ways of tearing each other apart, humanity is fantastic at making lemonade out of lemons.
