I do hope Inferno wins because I never liked the warhammer dark elves wannabes that showed up in homm5.
If the mood on this Forum is an indication. Inferno will actually lose and Dungeon will win.
Eh reading the comment section of the website majority of people don't want another "elven" faction. I think this voting between dungeon and inferno is going to be close.
I mean going by even on this forum people are saying 1 elf faction is enough even if they don't like inferno.
I personally don't think the outcome will be one sided in my opinion.

That's not really an offensive term.... XD But oh well, apologies if it it was innapropriate to you.
If we do get treants as champion units, I hope they have a stockier figure than those from homm5. Those were horribly designed.

Yeah, 2 factions of elves at start feels too much.
One may argue that with Dungeon we'd get the same 6 factions of Heroes II, but I disagree, Ubisoft Dungeon isn't the same as NWC Warlock, Dark Elves makes the faction quite different.

I don't think 2 elf factions are too much at all, especially considering how different they are. Even in heroes 5 both factions felt unique.

Meh. This voting is honestly for nothing. Since we know dwarves will appear anyway They already have concept art for them and probably unit designs.
But we hopefully we get more than just one faction per expansion.

Yeah cant wait to see them copy paste the race again. Assuming Fortress would just be in an expansion again was one of the huge reasons people voted Sylvan, stupid people u.u

Agreed. While sylvan and dungeon are both elves, they're very different gameplay wise. Bring back the hydra!

Eh may drink a little Alcohol since the dwarves lost and I even don't drink Alcohol that's how sad I am. Oh well *sigh*
Still I hope inferno makes the cut. Oh and to most people it does not matter that they "play" differently its the simple fact that they are an "elven" faction.
Since we have Sylvan people feel that there does not need to be another elf faction. Plus we got no one representing fire now if inferno loses. >_<

Different HOW? I see two races with high initiative, damage, frailer units, and strong magic. The Hydra and Treant are practically cousins in terms of being the token tanky unit.

If Inferno doesn't makes in the original game I'll probably wait for an edition with all expansion packs.
I like haven but Im kinda bored of them, Academy doesn't interests me at all, was never fan of pure magic, Necropolis is okay but not my favorite faction and dwarves and inferno are missing so yeah....

Heh we are similar then I rather like necropolis but fortress and inferno are my favourite factions personally. Well at least Anatasya is in the game (For story) and at least I can play necropolis if inferno does not win.

I am saddened by the loss of Dwarves, but, I am happy that if they lost to something, it would be Sylvan (my love for Dendroids, even if irrational, outweighs my like of Dwarves being Dwarves. )
However, if the next vote is indeed Inferno v Dungeon, beyond the idea of nostalgia, what niche do the two factions serve? How closely will they follow in H6's footsteps? H5's? These are my primary reasons for voting between the two.
If it came down to it, I'd vote the Dark Elves, even if my favorite faction theme are the Demons. So far, we have pure might (from stronghold) a typical defensive faction (Haven) super magic (wizard) mass unit numbers (necro) and now a luck/speed based faction (sylvan). These, of course, considering that each faction is largely a mix between H5 and H6 ideas.
Where would the next two factions fit? Inferno gambled on being the luck/swarm faction in H6, and mostly just swarming for H5 due to Gating. However, Sylvan was (are they still?) the luck faction of H5, and I see no reason for them to stop. Furthermore, seeing their units so far from past games seems lackluster. Most anything that solely walked, bar the Cerberus and Nightmare, has fallen flat. Imps, Horned Demons, Maniacs, Tormentors, Juggernauts... all rather bland walker units that just didn't pan out. Even Breeders, though a good concept, didn't work too well (come on! They birth imps! Why are imps ammunition, instead of a harassing summon? The idea was right there! ).
Where as Dungeon seems to be going for a "stealth" approach combined with numerous "damage over time" effects if H6 is to be believed. As far as I can tell, unless Sylvan totally surprises us, I doubt Dungeon will get usurped in this form. Or, they might go back to being "high damage" spell casters galore, which, honestly, still might fit into the damage over time thing, but there they might have to compete with 2 other high-magic factions (academy and necro). And their units (though "plagiarized" at times, I suppose) are usually very interesting and cool to use, at least for me. Minotaur, Manticore, Hydra, Dragons, Lizard Rider things, Beholders whoops, "Shadow Lurkers"... they all had cool ideas and actually succeeded in implementing them (until H6 decided that purple was the only sort of style they could go for. Minotaur and Manticore had no reason to become purple. They started off a reasonable brown!)
If they ever do include Inferno, please, let them have some peace and stop making everyone gang up on them, and them opposed to everyone else. Basically 1/4 of each sub-campaign in H6 was "Demons are here, we gotta kill em now." No other real reason other than that Demons gotta kill, so we gotta kill demons first. Give demons some other concepts so they aren't just murder-machines, and have some people who at least kinda sympathize with them without the sympathizers becoming demons. Even Clash of Heroes did that to a degree.

Both are fire factions, so ofc they're epic!
As for Inferno being ganged upon, I actually see that as a compliment, since it means other factions recognize them as the primary threat in the world and are aware of strength that agents of Sheogh possess.

Yeah if inferno loses we would lack a faction that specializes in fire. ; / Still it seems the website exploded or they have taken it down. Maybe it was people coming in for the result?
