I was talking to myself about the Academy 
And I thought, if there were to be no Black Dragons, then there would be no Titans(as tier 7 units atleast - or Elite units)
So I was thinking what if you modified the old "Mechanical dragon" ??? I actully like the idea in HoMM4, sadly it sucked Would be nice as Elite 
And you can have your weird Rakakskasanaksk (UNPROUNCEBLE!!)
And Halfing? I'd rather see the Grimlin dude - Halfling would serve no good, for anyone

Voted Dungeon Dark Elves, but Fortress, Academy and Sylvan must be there too. I wouldn't mind an Ylath faction either.

FACELESS  !!
I would love a Dungeon thats a bit more, Darkish,
But I guess secondly I'd want the Heroes 5 Version of Academy,
As everyone else has been saying, It fits the most in the time period, and theres not a fully magic based class.

I just had to vote for the Dwarves!
I feel that H5 was almost there... but not quite. Dwarves should keep to themselves, and I don't imagine them worshipping a fire dragon.
If they were to return, seeing the Thane as a champion unit but looking a ****load more menacing... that would be amazing.
Maybe I am biased because it is my all-time favourite unit

I voted for Sylvan with elves,despite the fact that I like the dungeon and academy more.The reason for this is because it doesn't matter for me if the dungeon returns with dark elves or not,or in which style the academy returns.

I'd love to see the Dwarves again! They were my favourite faction in HoMM V.

No, it's Wizard, go and check, the faction was called Wizard when introduced in HoMMII.

Actually it is Academy, those other names don't matter since they were in a different universe, and in any case they were all different factions anyway (Wizards in Enroth, Tower in Erathia, Order in Axeoth, none of the lineups were the same).

Hence the "If you wanna play that game"
But all that aside, regardless of the setting, it is essentially the same faction at heart, it's name is not important.
"socialy agreeable magic oriented faction featuring lots of wizards"
Thus I shall call it: SAMOFFLOW

Thematically, a "nature faction" and a "magic faction" have always felt too broad for me, which exclude the possibility for other, new factions. Encompassing a magic heavy faction and nature-hugging elves into a single faction would work just fine.
The Silver Cities could well enough be a unique faction without having to be the magic faction.
Ubi is already invested in their current universe model, so at this point they won't be able to get the Game of the Year award by just following my infallible suggestions, but that's roughly how it should be done.

H3 had two faction which were redundant.I mean dungeon was kinda resembling demons,while inferno was boring as hell.Humanoid demons?
While a faction meant to resemble beings from hell is a must,dungeon did that better than inferno did.Heck,that fire elemental looked more menancing than a horned demon or pitlord in H3.
Still,inferno is a must for the sake of demons from hell-fade-nether-fire and so on.
Conflux? a copy cutter from Tower,nothin more to say here.
In H5,at least inferno got a flaming horse that kinda fixed the issue of too many humanoids,but then two factions aligned with fire?Demonic fire? Arkath fire?Dungeon was redundant,two types of elves?
Fortress was redundant aswell.No need to say more about fortress.
Yet all in all,they bring back 3 humanoids for inferno(at least the breeder is new to the series),juggernaut is ok,the other two untis are redundant.Hell ponies,flaming efreets,behloders and medusas would work better for inferno.I would have loved it if beholders made a comeback for inferno.
Haven is ok for me,i never liked them before,now they look like they shine and blind you to death.Its still better than H5 or h3 haven for me.
As for expansions,only darkness aligned dungeon for me.No sylvan or academy or tower.Academy always felt senseless,to me at least.A faction that owns both in magic and might and has no alignment or whatsoever.
Symbols,a university?God damn it,that thing wont leave me alone even on games.
A faction that can do anything yet adds nothing to the story or gameplay.
Sylvan?Elves have to be exterminated out of the fantasy world.

Yes, Ashan is already the model...so the Sorceress faction (nature and wizard together from Heroes 1) would be cool but won't happen....also having strong shooters (nature) and strong magic (wizard) seems too imbalanced...notwithstanding that in Heroes 6 we won't have a "magic faction" on it's own, it's a choice of class, might or magic, within the faction.
