I want to see Fortress (Dwarves) and Dungeon if it has in maximum one elf.
I don't really care about Sylvan or Academy, but if they add them is a good extra aswell.
But if I had to choose between a new faction or Sylvan and Academy, I would choose the new faction.

I just want to see the elves. Having, humm, let's see, a sylvan faction again, would be great. The other expansion, new or not, can be anything. I just want to see again the elves and their longbows.

Why is everyone aiming so low?
Everyone would love to see the other four factions return in one expansion. Who'd wanna wait for their release over 2 or more expansions?
The Stronghold is the air faction. They pray to Father Sky. We should bury this argument for good.
The only possible new faction out there is the faceless.

Are there going to be 2 towns per expansion? If that's the case, here are my preferences:
First Expansion: Any OLD (Sylvan, Dungeon, Academy), and a NEW REDESIGNED H3 FORTRESS!
Second Expansion: the two remaining OLDs
OFFTOPIC: I was hoping they will have Gnolls in H6 Stronghold, but we got the stupid Goblins again

Being familiar with only H3's plot and it's expansions and now playing H1 through DOSbox, I'm kinda puzzled what this Ylath and faceless talk is although I do plan on playing every other heroes game and even the might and magic RPG games. I voted old factions only because I would like to see the mages and the dungeon faction or maybe the lizard-like fortress line-up of Heroes 3.

The problem is, the world of H3 went a splode (remember those two swords clashing?) and even then the world of H5 and 6 is a different one altogether. In it, mages are Arabic, dwarves and elves are separate, pegasi don't exist and so on.
Still, I feel that the factions that are in H5 SHOULD be in H6 - if it's a prequel, then it can't just be like "they happened in the time between the two", because, well... I mean, how?
So, IMO, the H5 factions MUST be implemented, and if the devs can think of any new ones, so be it.

Well, it's simple to justify why creatures were in one game and not in the other. We don't see the whole Ashan in the games. The fact that something isn't refered in a game doesn't mean it didn't existed at the time, just that this thing wasn't important and so there's no need for you to have knowledge about that thing.
Just because you don't know somebody in your town doesn't mean this person doesn't exist.

Well, I'd say WHOLE RACES are hardly an unimportant thing, especially since the Necropolis is a recent breakoff from the Academy in H6 IIRC.

I do like their work on these factions, but Sylvan, Academy and Dungeon have been my favourites for years.

I predict 99.9% of the people who will reply will ask for sylvan/dungeon/academy and a few may also add dwarves. 0.01% may also ask for an Ylath faction 
WHAT ABOUT H3 FORTRESS? H3 FORTRESS! H3 FORTRESS! H3 FORTRESS! (repeat countless times)
Well I think:
Vannila (like it is now)
expansion 1: Adds sylvan and dungeon and talks about the elves separation.
expansion 2: Seeing how the orcs creation did help to fend off the demon invasion a wizard tries to fuse dragon blood with humans (dragons are more calm AND stronger than demons)and creates the lizardmen (introduces academy and H3 fortress remake)
expansion 3: introduces dwarves and minor stories togeter with alternata upgrades and more neutrals

But when dungeon returns, it schouldn't be like H5 one! more H3ish but creatures making sense. Limit of Dark Elves is 2.

Expansion 1: 2012 - Sylvan faction introduced. Deals with Tuidhana. Alternate upgrades. Special mission: 3rd Eclipse - Dragon Hunt. Introduces the Dragon knight Tieru fighting Demons in a secret war.
Expansion 2: 2013 - Dungeon faction introduced. Rise of the dark elves. New combat style, Conquest. You got a map with lots of regions and the goal is to capture them all.
Special mission: Deals with the final demise of the Faceless and rise of a Dark elf racial majority within Ygg-Chall.
Expansion 3: 2014 - Academy faction introduced. Starts with a prologue on how the old Academy faction was destroyed by the Necromancers which leads up to War of the Broken staff where the Necromancers are all exiled to Heresh. Improved editor, "Creature makeover" feature etc.
Special Mission: 4th Eclipse - Falcon's Last Flight. Deals with how the Demons invade and the Falcon family are killed and finally succeded by the descendants of the heroes in the original H6.
DLC Campaign 2015 - War of the Gray Alliance, leads up to H5.
Then comes H7, set on another continent, probably after Dark Messiah where the main continent has been ravaged by demons, forcing the few surviving factions to flee to a new land where new factions are introduced and old ones get a whole new theme and twist.

don't think we'll see H3 fortress again.
the naga faction is filling the spot of a watery-lizardy faction so they won't make another lizard-swamp faction and anyway, h3 fortess hardly fits the ashan mythology.
i think we will see academy, coz u can't have necro,orcs and beastmen without wizards and of course we will see sylvan+dungeon.
hopefully they will make a campaign about the sylvan-dark elves seperation as well...
so that's 3 more factions i am sure we will see. so 8 total.
and maybe they will bring dwarfs back? or a sylath faction so we'll have 9 in total? i wish for both...but that's 10 factions total...huhu..
though, i can see lizardmen incorporated in a sylath faction coz they are a product of a flying creature and humans and made by wizards (dunno if it's true myth-wise but it's probable) and they are ranged units. it'll be great to see a sylath faction with rocs,lizardmen,nomads and storm-wind-sky related creatures. a faction with strong ranged units and low melee high mobility and low defence. there should be at least 3 flying units, of course...
