Section I
Features&Overviews:
Game Mechanics and Features
We take the Core Elite Champion Unit System.
Adventure Map:
-Turns on AM last one day.
-Units can travel, attack, pick up resources, pick up treasure chests, can conquer garrisons and enter ships, without being under the command of a hero. In a battle, they will still follow your command then.
-When with a hero, units have no influence on the AM movement.
-We have Fog of War.
-When boarding a ship, Hero looses a large amount of movement points, but not the whole turn.
-3 ship types: fast ship, medium ship and combat ship.
Battle:
-Turns on battlefield work like in H3.
-Battlefield has hex-fields.
-Heroes participate in battle like in H5.
Campaign:
-Main Campaign: You have a few campaigns at the beginning, where you can branch out with different scenarios in each one, after you finish, unlock a new campaign depending on your actions, happens two or three times for each campaign.
-New Campaign Mode 1: World/Continental Campaign. Some may know this from "risk", or the "total war" games or other games. The campaign plays on a world/continent/camoaign screen, showing all the covered part of the world. This is divided into (some to many) regions, which you can conquer and expand. Each round on this screen takes a given amount of time 8reasonably between a week and a year, that would be determined later). When two players meet in a region, a scenario is played in the map of that region, with all the advantages an owning player may allready have (towns of a certain strength, defending armies, etc.), over the time of one World-Screen turn. ...this jsut to give you the general idea, it is variable and we could specify it
-New Campaign mode 2: Tournaments. Not real campaigns in fact. Designed for multiplayer. A row of scenarios is played one after another, without connection storywise. After the end of the scenario, the players get points. In the end, these are summarized to a final score.
Faction-concerning:
-Each Faction has 3 special War machines, 1 unique and two specialized.
-Factions have some neutrals aligned to them, but not a fixed number for
all factions. There are also True Neutral units.
-Each faction has a various number of symbols, of which you choose 1 at
the beginning of the game
Town:
-The outer Terrain a Town is reflected in the Town screen to some extent.
Others:
-Mixed armies result in morale penalty

Diplomacy:
As in former HoMMs, diplomatic status cannot be changed during scenario.
There are 3 diplomatic statuses:
1. Ally (no battling, can interact without battle, can pass garrisons,
shared sight, win together)
2. Neutral Neutral (Can interact without battle (but battle is also
possible), AI is not that aggressive against you as enemies, with "defeat
all enemies" victory condition, you needn't defeat Neutral Players)
3. Enemy (cannot interact without battle, AI is aggressive against you)
Trade:
This game has a trade screen, where you can trade various things for one another:
-Ressources
-Ressources/Turn (but you have the option of only doing it for a day up to the end game and can cut the supply at any time.)
-Adventure Map Locations you own
-Garrison Passage (The player with whom you trade this with is now allowed to pass your garrisons without a fight.
Here, you can also reveal your sight of the AM to another player, but only as a gift (you get nothing in return).
Some things can only be traded though, when armies are interacting:
-Units
-Artifacts
Indeed, only units/artifacts present in the interacting forces (armies, heroes, town&army, etc.) can be traded. However, you can also trade
artifacts&units for ressources, adventure map locations, etc., here...
units can only be placed if the enemy has the same type of unit in their army or a free stack

Hero:
Blood Lord
Racials
Gating:
Similar to H5. The Blood Lord can order their demonic troops to call in reinforcement for the battle. Doing so, the creature uses a turn and palces a gate, from which, after a while, a stack of the same creature will appear and fight alongside you, until the battle is won, or the creature dead.
Advancing Gating increases the percentage in size the gated stack has in relation to the gating stack, as well as which units can be gated.
-Basic Gating
Allows Core Units to use Gating
-Advanced Gating
Allows Elite Units to use Gating, but with 50% efficiency
-Expert Gating
Allows Elite Units to use Gating with full efficiency
-Master Gating
Allows Champion Units to use Gating
Soul Gathering:
For every being with a soul killed by the blood lord or his units, the blood Lord gains a Soul. With souls, powerfull abilities can be used.
The Level of the racial determines which abilities a blood Lord can use. THe Maximum of Souls he can carry is determined by the Racial and his Hero Level. And the power of the Abilities is influenced by the hero level, too, as well as Spell Power Value of the Hero.

Hero:
Priest
Racials:
Crusade:
Some Haven Core Units will join the Priest at the beginning of
each week.
The exact number is a bit random, so, with the same conditions, the priest may get 3 units in one week, and 2 the next. Anyway, it is determined by Hero Level, the number of Haven towns the player controls and the "Week of..." (So in a "week of Macemen" you can get more macemen through Crusade)
Which creature appears is random, as long as the hero has a free stack placeholder. If not, only creatures which are in the army will appear. If there are neither a free stack placeholder nor a Haven Core unit stack in the army, no creatures will appear. An exception for the randomness is when the hero has a creature specialty, which will increase the chance of this creature to appear.
Training:
Sets free certain abilities for haven units.
It works like this: The Haven Creatures have 2 abilities belonging to each of some chosable paths, which are set free when they are in the hero's army. Additionally, not all stacks are influenced by the racial - which, is to be chosen in hero screen - and not all tiers can be chosen from the beginning on.
-Basic Training:
Allows you to choose a path and to choose up to 2 Core Unit stacks to train.
-Advanced Training:
Allows you to choose up to 4 Stacks of Core or Elite units to train.
-Expert Training:
Allows you to choose up to 6 Stacks of any Haven units to train.
-Master Training:
Sets free a second special ability for all affected stacks.

Social Structures:
In the Empire, to which the vast majority of Haven towns belong, the Emperor is the Highest Social Position, lifted far above all. Directly below the Emperor is the Tribunal of Ascendance, with a few members having great influence, almost enough to rival the Emperor's from time to time.
Most angels are born into high positions, and are part of ancient families. However, they can be evicted, just like any human if they do not perform well enough. Sometimes, the heads of ancient families will disown their children, and they are considered "freaks" and "mutants". Sometimes you can even see an angel begging on the streets, though that level of poverty is rare indeed.
Generally, there is a nobility, with strong privilegues. Originally, this nobility is formed by ancient families, but any noble can grant a person a (lower) title, as long as they deem the person worthy and as long as the Emperor + Tribunal don't raise objections. If the emperor agrees but the Tribunal doesn't, the person isn't allowed to become the rank. Same if the tribunal agrees but the emperor doesn't. However, for the tribunal to overrule the emperor, it must be more than 9/10 of them.
Below the Nobility come 4 more classes. The further down in the latter you go, the more people belong to a class and the less rights and privilegues they have. Directly beneath the Nobles are the Knights, which are enforcers of law and usually leaders in Empire armies and troops. Often, Knights are raised Squires - who are the rank below the knights. Squires are travelling warriors, gallant compatriots, and chivalrous individuals, known everywhere to be the protectors of the weak, and to fight of evil, whatever its source may be. All hail the gallant Squires!...Or so they say. Few know of Squires' true nature: they are brutish, filthy individuals. They do have a code of honor of sorts, which can be summed up in three words, "Follow the emperor". Blindly listening to the emperor's orders, they will do whatever it takes to gain his favor. Deadly swordsmen and warriors, they are also top-class actors, ensuring the few nobles and people of high position know who the emperor's servants really are. Sent on dangerous missions, they are rewarded handsomely for their deeds, and if they perform very well, they may be lifted to be a knight.
Below the Squires come the Merchants and Tradesmen, to which also skilled craftsmen (who are memebrs of a guild) belong. Below them comes the huge caste of Serfs, most people in the Emprie belong here. They do not have many rights, but the more work and duties. Peasants belogn ehre, as well as most Craftsmen. And finally, there are those poor people nto even belonging here, beggars, snows, cripples and other poor beings. Classless they are, rightless, practically criminal by status, protected by no law.
The Clergy stands beside this classes, having its own ranks and ways. Below the Tribunal of Ascendance, the Priests are amongst the Highest position in there.

-Basic Archive:
The hero can learn Level 1 Spells.
-Advanced Archive:
The hero can learn Level 2 Spells
-Expert Archive:
The hero can learn Level 3 Spells
-Master Archive:
The hero can learn Level 4 Spells
Repair:
After each battle they are able to spend a relatively small amount of resources to raise some their fallen troops. This only applies to non-living units.
Advancing in this racial allows you to repair higher-level troops, and increases the number of units that can be repaired.

Hero:
Wizard
Racials:
Honour Guard:
Every Wizard has an honour guard, a special unit that does not need a stack placeholder, unless it's the last stack - so a wizard can survive with only their honour guard. Strength and number of the Guard
depend on many things, but the hero level has greatest impact.
The Honour Guard of any hero has a maximum value, which increases with increasing racial Level, and a weekly growth, by which the Guard will grow (even when it has been reduced to 0 before) until it has reached maximum. The stats and abilities are determined by hero level.
Spellbinding:
The Wizard can bind spells into units. For the time the spell is bound to the unit, the unit gains unique abilities through the spell. (For example a unit to whom "lightning bolt" was bound, would deal
aditional Lightning Damage).
With increasing level of the racial, the hero can bind more powerfull spells in more powerfull units for a longer time.

The World:
In the North West, we have Magis, the big continent in the Middle is Pius, and to the far south-East lies Nuktor.
Religon
Generally, it is not certain, which of the factions' beliefs is true - or if any of them is true at all, and if a god, or gods, or a spiritual energy, really exist - or are, well..."just a belief"...
Also, there is no common belief, but the factions have (in parts VERY) different beliefs, from atheism to all forms of Monotheism...
Abyss:
The Demonst (and their foolish mortal followers) all have the same
principle of belief: Each Demon Tribes worships one "Duke of Hell" as their unholy, powerfull god, obeying their wishes without questioning, or much hesitation. There are quite many of Demon Tribes, and thus, a whole lot of Dukes of Hell - it is said they be 666, in fact. However, most are not really mighty (quite a number of them even less mighty than many beings who are not worshipped) and have not many followers. Of this mass, however, thirteen of the Dukes stick out, possessing immense powers, and a huge number of followers each. These are Asmodeus, Baal, Falthas (also named Avatar of Revenge), Isary, Klithor, Kuruspar, Lucifer, Malustar, Nixiryth, Örtosh the Defiler, Rehzen, Thros and Vorl (----more to come!!!----)
Notable about the religion of the Demons is also the excessive use of any kind of sacrifice - as long as it's living beings, it can be sacrificed before a Duke, and almost all Dukes wish for a good number of sacrifices each day, to satisfy their lust for blood.
Dungeon:
The Dark, shadowy dungeon are not only a mysterious and scary place, they are also a strange palce, for foreign folk, in a different way: their inhabitants are Atheistic, not believing in anything supernatural, but only in the rules of the world and the power of Magic - and Might.
Fortress:
Dwarves are largely agnostic, meaning they aren't sure if a divine being really exists, nor do they really care.
Dwarves were introduced to religion via other races, and while not
religious per se, dwarves are curiously enough a very superstituous
people and thus felt it nescessary to include "by whatever guides us" and "by the powers that may be (I dunno)" in normal-day conversation, just to "ward off" anything omnipotent or just to wish each other good fortune.
Dwarven priests are "earthly guides" whose jobs are to meddle in other dwarves' affairs.
They have conducted a "morality codex" that contains everything from "which swear-words to use when minors are present",
to "personal beard hygiene 101".
They also act as judges within the dwarven juridical system.
Haven
THe most inhabitants of Haven are Monotheists. They belief that there is one God, who has no name (names are to earthly for HIM), but is, by most, only called "the Creator".
The Creator is believed to be a lovefull father for his people, the
inhabitants of Haven, offering them salvation and forgiveness. On the
other hand, it is common belief he wishes everyone on this world to
worship him, and only him: Conversion is one of the main duty of a
believer in the creator. This goes as far as war: though a loving father to those who believe in him, the creator has no problem with coming to the "infidels" with fire and blade, facing them with the decision: Believe or Die
It is notable that, however, there are some other figures nearly
worshipped: the prophets, and the saints. THe prophets were
historical figures, who are believed to have spoken the word of the
Creator. Saints are historical figures as well, but unlike prophets, they are only declared saint after death, for different reasons, usually when having done something seen as very "worthy", and this declaration is allways an official one. Also saints do not necessarily hear and speak the words of the Creator.
For the hierarchy of the Creator's clergy, there is no single person as leader or central figure, but the religion's leading organ is the
Tribunal of Ascendance, which composes of a pack (11-20) of
clerics.
Keep
The mages and the other inhabitants of the keep are Monotheists, who belief in a male god they call Skynver". Over all, he is believed not to care much for the world he created, not meddling often in mortal affairs. However, there is nonetheless some kind of "heaven", where good followers of him go after death - and a hell for "bad" and "evil" people as well.
This religion has a central leader, the High Quandarian (High Quandarienne if female) who is also the worldly leader of the large Main Nation of the keep faction. It is notable that the position is achievable for both men and women, and is reached by being elected by the Council of the Nine, which only comes into being for this single election.
Necromancers:
Most of the necromancers share a Monotheistic belief in the sexless god Mortis. There also is no other leader of that religion, all bow only before mortis, whose byname also is "The Mercyless Reaper", for mortis cares not for any mortal's deeds or regrets - they will take anyone, when their time has come.
Nevertheless, the Necromancers spend one entire hour each day in their prayers, sitting there in complete silence. Afterlife is commonly disputed by the necromancers, and the beliefs very different, form Death-Worshippers to those seeking to ultimately avoid it. However, it is kind of a common agreement that when you're Dead, you're dead.
Nevertheless the necromancers prefer to be existent in this world.
Rampart:
The beings of the Forest believe in "the Nebulous", a spiritual Energy present in all the world. They do not pray to it, though, allthough some groups swear for meditation.
Sanctuary:
The Sanctuary People belief the world was created by spiritual
energy, which still is present in the world. A long time ago, the
Ancestor Rakala rose to a demi-godess, almost an embodiment of
Nature, possessing a part of that spiritual energy. Now, she is the main object of worship in the Sanctuaries.
It is said that Rakalas greatest Strength are Magic, Cunning and Tricks - also form a mortal point of view she is awesome in everything, since she's a demi-godess after all - and that she is calm, but curious and even vengefull, if one in deed manages to make HER angry. Her followers believe, she still walks the earth, but she is both there and on a higher plane. Basically, she is in the "Heavens" and is sending a projection of herself to guide her people. She no longer exists in the world, but she does interact with it.
It should also be noted that the Sanctuary people believe that when you die, you become a part of the spiritual energy of the world again, and thus return into the circle of being...
Stronghold:
The wild people of Stronghold are so far the only known big
Polytheistic Religion, having a Pantheon of many gods. All these gods, which are, by the way, in no family relatiosn to another (such is not the gods way), are led by the mighty Yahomen, god of War, Tactics, Sky, Wind and Hunting. He is said to be very muscular, tall, strong, hair is black, eyes are brown, He wears battle garb on his shoulder, but none on his chest. he has a spear made of air, an axe of stone, and a giant recurved bow that only he is powerful enough to pull back. When he appears to his followers, it is as a titan or a giant who walks from the clouds to the earth.
Another important deity is Rhyssh, goddess of law and the forge, garbed in (strangely) a Haven-esque style, she had a flowing robe that does not move with the wind, wears a blindfold over her eyes and caries what she forges to her chosen. If she appears without a weapon, then her blind gaze paralyzes her target as she smites them. The Goddess of order, law and the smith only appears to the most righteous and the most wicked, if at all. The blindfold is the only constant thing about her, as she changes as the law and her people change.
Also a wide-worshipped figure is the godess of Lust, Fertility and Fire, Lathane. She has long red hair, green eyes (flashing with innocence...), white clothes (not much that is ),a veeery nice body structure, is very sexy and has a white demonic smile.
And finally, but not least, there is San Somnus, god of Sleep,
Dreams and Wishes. ----Merged Description of gnomes and avi to be here----
The New Religion:
There is a new religion spreading over the world. More and more numbers of people, mostly those neglected or treated badly in their own culture and religion, turn to worship the Medusas who they few as a divine race. The medusas treat wounds of their believers, help them with their powers - which are indeed grand. On the other side, they, not daily, but not rarely either, demand sacrifices by their followers - and it need to be sentient beings, either captured, or of the followers themselves.
A strange thing about all this is that medusas were on this world quite a time, they were even known...and their cultural summer is long over.
However their followers believe they and all teh others just "realized" the divinity of the Medusas now, and it seems to make their devotion only bigger that medusas didn't play any role in the younger history.
Politics
The Matter of Politics in this world is a complecated one. Not every faction of the game is united, there are many nations across the three continents and the three seas. Here, you will find them - ordered not by faction, but by geography. I start out with Magis. Note also that some nations listed here are not really united nations but it is easier to view them like that from outside.
