Which hero should return in HOMM6 ?
Hi! I was thinking of the future heroes for HOMM6 and it occured to me that maybe some old and great heroes should return for a comeback in the next chapter.I think two very significant heroes should be Crag Hack and Sandro because of the major impact they have made on the series. Yog and Dracon should return in my opinion as well as Darkstorm and Gem.
BTW: I think the first two deserve their own campaigns!

Well the 5 traditional returners are Crag Hack, Yog, Gem and Sandro, and the lesser known Luna but there are a few more who appear in two games:
-There are only 4 H1 heroes that don't appear again in H2, although Lord Haart does appear in H3.
-Alamar, Halon and (possibly, although he goes from a human to a Genie) Solmyr are in both H2 and H3.
-There are no less than 20 heroes (not including the big 5) who made the port from H3 to H4.
Interestingly, no hero has ever appeared in '3' titles (except possibly Solmyr, and that's dubious), just 1, 2 and 4.

Not quite: Lord Haart does. He's in the H2 campaign (using Sir Gallant's portrait for some reason).
Count me in on the bandwagon for a Crag Hack and Sandro reappearance at least.

I thought you'd say that with the current storyline Ubi's HoMM doesn't deserve the old heroes.

I want a new storyline!!! but still the heroes should be taken again nevertheless! Sandro, Crag Hack defeinitely! I loved Gelu, though he was a bit imba, and Gem, too - Yog not so much...Solmyr should also be in! ...other definite heroes i remember from H3and would like to see again:
-Darkstorn, Xyron, Darkstorn, Jeddite, Ivor, Vokial

Does he, interesting. I guess my first statement should read "There are only 3 H1 heroes that don't appear again in H2.", unless I'm off the ball and Arturius, Antoine and Kelzen also make appearances.

Hey, there's probably some out there who think that with the new storyline, the series doesn't deserve a next edition.

Sure I would like to see heroes like Crag,Sandro,Lord Haart,gem and others in H6,maybe even the Immortal Hero Tarnum from the Chronicles,and there were some interesting characters in Heroes IV as well.However,I don't see how they would fit in this new universe,hmm...

Tarnum isn't gonna make it, not unless you retcon H4 out (although I suppose they 'have' retconned it out, but they've retconned out everything else as well).

Err. We'll see.

Actually most of the H1 and H2 characters are "recycled" NPCs who first appeared in Might and Magic 1-5. That's part of why many didn't return for H3, because it didn't make sense to have people from CRON and XEEN when Enroth had been firmly developed into its own world. A few of the fhe fan favourites like Crag and Sandro were left in anyway to retain the MM "legacy". A similar thing occured in H5 where the characters randomly spout out familiar names despite being in a totally different world/universe.

Why not? Tarnum didn't die forever in H4 or anything like that. The ending of his campaign states "just like old times, he went off on a new adventure" or something along those lines.
Lord Haart, however, definitely is dead. New universe or not, his story is over.

Ah, yeah, thinking of Kilgor, sorry, should have checked that before I posted.

Yeah,Kilgor didn't seem like an everlasting king anyway.Still I long for Gelu...He seemed invulnerable,usually that's how the evil guys get to be in movies and games cause that makes them more dangerous.In heroes 5 we get Kha-Beleth.It was good to look upon a good hero and for him to be almost god-like.
Crag Hack and Sandro should be back for one final battle,maybe with Sandro wearing on his clothes or somewhere the head of Finneas Vilmar(always hated him),and when Crag Hack finds out about Sandro...

Sandro and Gem, and maybe Luna, Crag Hack and Yog aren't going to return if we stick to the current 'race heroes only' format, although that is one thing from H5 I'd be happy to ditch.

Luna has also been in every NWC game. She was a Sorceress in Heroes 1, a Necromancer in Heroes 2, an Elementalist in Heroes 3, and a Vampire Death Knight in Heroes 4.

[minor spoiler]
In H5 Markal said his master Sandro died the final death (comparatively recently) and we went back 400 years ago, so almost certainly Sandro will be 'alive'. Crag Hack was also mentioned in H5 so he can return. All the others it's just a question of how faithful Black Hole wants to be, and so far they seem to be reworking the series almost as much as 3DO did for H4.

Blackhole, faithful, those two words don't even belong in the same sentence.

To be honest I would like Crag, Sandro and the bunch too. Simply because even though it was unrealistic, they seemed to be greater than game rules in the old world. They ignored race/nation/time restrictions and seemed to be like avatars/impersonations of something greater. It can be considered a pun. But a successful pun nevertheless.
