I voted for the snowy, fantasy-themed tower. Reason is after reading a lot of fantasy novels, that tower town is very similar to how I picture wizard towns. The arabian-themed flying city looks really good, but not really the right flavour for me =P
I think there will be a lot of bias on this forum, though, since a lot of people come from a heroes 3 background.

Do something new!
Make it a safari academy. (They could say civilization or magic withered much of the land into a desert in later centuries)

DEATH COWS FTW!!

Desert/Arabic Academy ftw, still dont make the units like in homm 5, i never liked how gargs, mages, cats and titans looked like.
Also nagas >> cats, a female snake model is just too sweet to pass up

Nagas won't happen. They already have their own faction, remember?
EDIT: Unless they reskin a Coral Maiden and call it a Medusa,
which was a desert (neutral) unit in Heroes 2.

I want Solymr back... really
Quote: Marzhin confirmed that the Academy would be back, so would you prefer the Academy to be in a snowy kind of style like in homm3 or more of Arabic like in homm5?

Well I think Heroes VI still happens in Asha right so maybe the desert scene will still be Academy's theme. Beside i prefer the desert theme to the snowy one

I think there is a null chance for the theme returning to H3 style, and to be honest I don't mind

As long as we're talking wishes, I'm all for wasteland-themed Wizards, reminiscent of the ones in H2, but I suspect they'll stay in the desert.

I have no idea how that could be contrived lore wise, but that would be awesome lol!

While I did like the snowy theme of the Heroes III Tower faction, I did not like their overall design. Most of their creatures looked rather bland and I could not warm to the red-blue colour theme of some of their buildings. It looked somehow strange for me.
In Heroes V I really liked the Academy town design, it looked quite nice visually. But I was not so keen about the creature design. I simply did not like the Gargoyles, Mages, Djinns and Titans and I'm still unsure what I should think about the Golems and Rakshasa.
So while I expect another desert themed wizard faction because of the existing lore (although I wouldn't mind a snowy faction), I hope this wizard faction will be more appealing to me than the last one.

They could justify the introduction of swamp Fortress with something like this: Ylath decided to find the lizardmen that would worship him in change of some favors. Or they could simply not justify it.
About the poll, I want to see a flying city again, now if it's in a snowy terrain or a desert I don't really care.

Though I like Tower's snowy theme of H3, I don't mind if titans come back in H6. Because this is the Ashan world of Ubisoft, not the Antagarich/Axeoth world of 3DO. They are quite different so I can't compare.
But, I vote snow !

They can make some unexplored forests or something and when Naga goes there it turns out they were not much forest but swamps full of Death Cows,Flies,Hydras and Basilisks.
btw They should scrap the gay hydras from 5 along with the dark elves.

They should scrap Ashan and bring back Antagarich.

Then they'd ruin Antagarich.
It's better this way, trust me.
EDIT: Besides, didn't it explode?

Unfortunately yes... This was one of the saddest days in my gaming history. I don't think that I ever had so much fun again in any fictional universe as I had in Enroth, Erathia or Jadame.
