Prior to now it would have been safe to assume all the factions from the first game would return if there was a sequel. They did not. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I think it’s refreshing to be honest. However, the assumption was wrong.

Why would this be safe to assume? Tons of games dont bring every faction back. I would say its not normal to bring ANY of them back but they would probably have to rework the entire faction to balance them and at that point might as well make a new one.

that's like my entire point yeah. assumptions are based on incomplete information, emotion, prior experience and logic leaps based on incomplete information.

i am pretty obsessed with the demo and looking forward to the release so i've been examining card art and lore. from what i've looked at four cards mention Lady Gilda. that being Hot Head, Deathroar, Magma Mauler and Lava Armor, with Lava Armor being a direct quote from Lady Gilda herself. There's also two cards featuring that unit in the last screenshot as its art which are both the gold consumption cards Soldier of Fortune and Make It Rain. This doesn't prove she's a champion but i am fairly certain she is that dragon in the last screenshot.

as for Talos the only bit of a hint i could find is that the Banished card art often depicts enemies or units with an odd outlier being Demonize. the person in this art is featureless and grey it honestly looks out of place compared to other Banished card art. the lore is a direct quote from Talos alluding towards her being the one demonized. usually cards targeting enemies feature enemies but i could see this being a place holder for Talos or i am just looking way too much into everything cause i want the game to be out already.

in conclusion i think the dragon hoarding a pile of gold in the last screenshot on the store page is Lady Gilda. Lady Gilda could be an alternate champion or a rare unit for Pyreborne. for Talos she could be the Lazarus League champion or the alternate Banished Champion

Welp, time to watch the trailer at 0.25 speed again.

Makes sense, given the reasons stated before. Not surprising at all that there were 2 per clan.

That is so awesome, hopefully they'll expand even further on it! It's honestly exciting to see how much oomph!! they're already putting into just the base game, which is already launching with far more content than the base game for mt1 was.

I might sound like a disgusting shill for saying this, but personally I'd happily pay for another dlc. For this game specifically.

Weird. I don't use discord much, so I'm not sure what to tell you, but if you're in the discord you can look it up yourself. It's a post from Avarem at 2/19/25, 11:51 AM in the #mt2-chat channel.

Seem right, based on Monster Train and the comment right above yours. Infact, I'm positive that there are 2 champions per clan now. Or at the very least, at least two. I won't hold my breath for more than two, but there are undoubtedly more than 1 for certain at this point.

i don't think you understand what the word certain means

I told you so, by the way. There are indeed 2 champions per clan.

Dude never even said he doubts it or they wont, just he isn't 100% certain. I mean heroes of might and magic 4 didn't have all the factions of 3, heck 5 doesn't have all the ones of 3. Age of wonders 3 doesn't have frostlings and tigrans on launch like 2,

Not sure why you're wanting to try and kill people on a hill nobody else was even standing their ground on.

Post #5 " I feel like its safe to assume there's 2 champions per faction in this game too."

Safe to assume so translates to "yes, there's 2 champions per faction in this game too"

Which you took issue with and for some weird reason began arguing against. And then later (Post #13) I even doubled down and said you'd feel silly once its revealed that there are 2 champions.

So yes, I told you so.

Let's hope this time around it's even more than 2 per faction.

Assume

1.
suppose to be the case, without proof.
"it is reasonable to assume that such changes have significant social effects"

You did not

Why would you think I would feel silly? You think I wanted there to be only 1 per faction? You are a very odd individual.

I hope so too especially since there are fewer factions. However, I haven’t seen anything to suggest that could be the case unfortunately.
