Future fractions?

[Tazz]

The authors of the game plan to create orcs, elves or dwarves factions in the future?

[Shikao]

They would like to make 8 factions which are at various design stages. However, no information on what they will be. Judging by first four, we might get something more exciting than regular fantasy options.

[Tazz]

I would like these more ordinary fractions. I miss the usual fantasy races in today's games.

[Rance]

Yeah, there are never enough elves, dwarves and rock munchnards to suit me. But having so many fractions can be divisive...

[Munin]

Like Shikao said, there will be some new factions as development continues. However, there are no specific plans yet.

[Tazz]

When the game is available I will definitely buy it. If the creators need ideas for the land of elves, dwarves and orcs, I will be happy to help :) Anyway, I think that there is a large deficit in today's games for classic factions such as the Lotr, Warhammer or Warcraft universe to part 3. Such classic races give a lot more immersion to fantasy fans than some factions not very popular.

[Rance]

Actually, variety is the spice of life. I don't mind seeing more Lizardmen, Wolf and Cat People, Fae and the like. There are some who think the regular fantasy races have been overdone over the years. I'm not one of them but I like seeing new races as well. Take a look at some recent board games like Gloomhaven and Middara. I think there is room for a lot of imaginations to flourish and I'm looking forward to this game. I don't get on discord unless I have to but I'm a turn-based aficionado...been around since the first King's Bounty (the one prior to the first HoMM), big fan of the Eador games, MoM and so on. If you need another beta tester...I'll stand forth! Anyway, good luck!

Elves, dwarves and orcs would downgrade the creative flair of this game imho. There are other races to explore that haven't been beaten to death.

The most popular are fantasy universes with these classic races, not any other. A matter of taste.

Agree, lets not go to the low level of creativity presented by the likes of ubisft, actizzard, electronic arts etc

From some of the monsters already ingame, i was excited that maybe a satyr faction or something could be down the road.

Can't say i am interested in generic elves/dwarves etc, give me monsters!

I agree with having classical factions makes fantasy games more fun and immersive

[Lavapotion]

As someone said, it all comes down to taste. We will never add classic orcs, elves or dwarfs to the game, but rather trying to keep pushing something that feels a bit new and refreshing (from a fantasy nerd perspective!) into the game!

[lucibuis]

Well, the races so far are not really new... Barya = Academy, Arleon a mix of Sylvan and Empire, Undead = Necropolis, Lizardmen is common, warhammer for example.

I think it's fine to have something changed or new, but some of decisions are a bit odd. Why having 3 forest spirits units join the empire faction instead of having a fully fledged sylvan type faction?

from a lore perspective it makes sense

I like the return of Swamp fraction. And I hope there will be more original, not human races in updates or DLCs.
