But I would not like if they copied Blizzard either since the Vampire already looks like Arthas 2.0
Don't you dare insult perfectly good vampires by comparing them to that whiny sack-of-crap excuse for a character.

I am incredibly happy with the new old race. The Stronghold is back, baby!
However, I'd like to ask what the hell is going to happen with the beloved Academy, Dungeon and Sylvan?

What I am wondering now with that 4th faction is: what gameplay will they be associated to?
Inferno's strategy has already been described as follows: "Inferno generals should focus on fast massive area of effect damage, mass offensive abilities, disruption of enemy support and tactics". That's kind of a rusher, to me.
So What if Stronghold are not rushers? What will they be?

I'm realy suprised with Orc's faction... o.O They have Aztec feeling and looks fine( Harps looks great!). 
Anyway, all my hope goes to Naga faction. ^^

Since Naga were presumed to be getting the jungle terrain, I am now much less certain about them appearing if the Orcs are jungle-based.
With the new jungle theme, Wyverns aren't really going to work - they are steppes creatures - and Hydras seem to live underground. I guess it's possible we might see some sort of sub-species though. And for me Centaurs don't really fit in the jungle either, and I can't see them being above core, so I'm not expecting them to appear. On top of this Behemoths don't feel too jungly either, so I'm guessing some sort of Ogre or Troll appearing...

Well, we can find lots of centaurs living in forests in literature (e.g. Harry Potter).
And as for Behemoths, well King Kong lived in the Jungle!

I think it's also important to remember that the Strongfort isn't Orcs or Barbarians, but Beastmen. I think Elvin pointed out the distinction a few weeks ago. And while Orcs might have very specific ideas about where to live, and goblins too, if the faction's headquarters are in a jungle...

You're right! But I think there's a reason we don't have horses living in jungles in the real world. It feels like they'd be tripping over vines all the time .

Wasn't me but whoever said it is kinda right. The majority of the faction's units have been created by the wizards before they rebelled and banded together. Goblins, centaurs, harpies aren't orcs of course but they had something in common.

Hmm, always thought Centaurs were Orcs - looked like a combination of Hell Charger and Human. Ditto Goblin - Imp and Human, although that's been confirmed as wrong.
Edit: Cyclopes, what about them?

You may be right about centaurs. Cyclopes I think come from pit fiends, if you check the triangular head on the untamed and their hooves they kinda match. But this is of course speculation.

Maybe the Cyclop are a human and a Juggernaut/Devil? They look strong, brute and big!

So I absolutely sure the native terrian of orc is plain(autumn)
It can be seem from the trailer that jungle has many pools for nagas to live,so the jungle is for naga

You misunderstand the concept of beastmen and orcs,there are two different things in Ashan.
330 YSD: 1st Eclipse - War of the Blood Moon
? Creation of the Orcs
512 YSD: Creation of the Beast-men
Beast-men (minotaurs, centaurs, harpies?) are created as servants, playthings, and guards in the Seven Cities. Their stated purpose is to replace the Orcs.
You can get more details from

Moderator's note: As Stronghold is now officially confirmed as 4th faction, I'm considering this thread to be extinct and close it.
