When you think this is more than 20 years old... With gorgeous 3D flythrough of original Rampart town... When I think of what could have been done in our time and age I just arg.

- Continue the story from Axeoth with all of its amazing characters. Bring back the old universe with its Science Fantasy foundations.
- No more race-based factions. Take the ones from Heroes 4 and add Fortress (they may have ended up on some distant Island archipelago, it's not like that world was ever over-explored  ). I'd rather have (a more inspired version of) Conflux back, Inferno/Necro split and Forge town as well. Some original additions would be welcome as long as they stay true to the theme-based formula (i. e. not "the dwarf faction" - have it be the "snowy faction" or something instead).
- No streamlining or unimaginative plagiarizing of stuff from Warhammer, Warcraft, DnD or whatever. Stay true to the original inspiration from (predominantly) Graeco-Roman mythology and the adult, more mature high fantasy atmosphere without gritty splash/sex stuff or overt racialist/religious overtones. Have the rosters be predominantly (genderfluid) mythological creatures in the vein of pre-Ubi Heroes.
- Create a game that's highly customizable and un-streamlined so folks can enjoy a mix of RPG and Civ, like in Heroes 4 (but with more options), with different scenarios having different focuses.
- Keep Erwin out of it.

Axeoth was interesting, but kind of put paid to Enroth. I'd prefer something that, even if it took place on another world, didn't destroy the old one.

'No race-based factions' is a great idea, let's finally do away with the dull, old-fashioned pseudo-medieval Knight/Castle/Haven/etc. town, and replace it with something actually interesting. On the Conflux, it could be better, as long as the Elementals aren't in the main lineup.

I'm not overly bothered about pulling stuff from DnD, as it's a fairly sandbox source. the Beholder from H3/H4(/H6/H7 as the Shadow Lurker) is a pretty good cthulic monster for the dungeon. In addition, sticking with Greco-roman myth is, to my mind, horribly culturally bigoted, a lot of other, non-western mythologies have perfectly worthy monsters.

This was never a thing, perhaps with Castle's exception (excluding HoMM5).
Also: Obligatory pro-Forge comment.

Wdym, HoMM3 is built upon D&D in terms of creatures kek, some of them even have pretty much the same name, appearance and/or abilities.

Pretty sure that was the intended direction of NWC to a certain extent (I mean, they couldn't easily code scripting blabla for H3, since it was mainly not needed at the time)

That's a given, he was fired after all. He sadly flooded the basement of Ubi's HQs in France, Paris, with just a few millions of spiders of all kinds after adding them to Spiderpolis in MMH7 (not to be confused with HoMM7 which does not exist, as HoMM5 was the last game from the series followed by 2 spin-offs).

Oh you're right, he probably wasn't, I might have mixed smt up, sorry. Although the guy seemed kinda depressed after H7 and I doubt Ubi would put him in charge of yet another HoMM (MMH?) game.

they do have those supremely retarded might and magic mobile games, so prolly Erwan is making freemium crap these days, as Might and Magic has been slain like Command And Conquer was.

Would love for the story to have continued. I picked up H5 and was planning to get H6 as well, thinking the story would continue across these games, but thankfully I found out Enroth / Axeoth didn't continue after H4, so I never picked up H6 (nor will I). I still haven't even gotten around to playing H5.
There are a few of us who have talked about trying to continue the story, using H3/H4, but limited time will probably keep that from happening.
I personally would love to see a HoMM based novel for some events on the Enroth / Axeoth timeline. I know there's The Sea of Mist, but it doesn't involve any of the characters or story plots I care about. It could even continue where Axeoth in H4 left off.
Lots of story to explore..

Yes. Ubi world is weird and completly lose immersion for me. Will be good to see continuation old good universe.
Especially Heroes 5 with abandoned NWC resources and corrected H4 mistakes would be great masterpiece. And MMX based on continent from Heroes IV. Axeoth is unfinished world. And great final with merge Enroth and Axeoth by discovering joininig portals. Thats it!!!

Looking over some old Ensemble games the other day got me wondering if maybe something like the advancement system for 'Age of Mythology' couldn't be worked into the game. So each town has more creatures in its lineup than they have dwelling spaces for, and so have to pick and choose. And yes, I know that HOMM4 did that, but this would be different, in that each choice at the start would accept what choices you get in the future.

I agree, I'd love to see new campaigns set on Axeoth or in the Spinward Rim in general, and to have all that was prepared for NWC's HV delivered to us at last <3
I mentionned a few times on other threads that I was working on a few campaigns, maybe I should create a thread about it eventually, but they're all set on Aalondor, and I try to flesh out the continent and its lore (by including stuff from Jennifer Bullard's lost files). I replayed all of Heroes 3, it's expacs, and the Chronicles (as well as M&M6-9) to have something solid from which to draw inspiration and to use as a solid foundation.
So far, the first one revolves around Kastore, and suffice to say, anyone bothered by the sci-fi aspect of the universe will NOT like it lol.
