Nice Day for All
I have an idea to do non official competition on the threshold of the continuation of Good Story of Ashan world told for us by Ubi and Nival.
The main idea is to offer your vision of the New Race which can being relized in HOMM6.
You can tell your stories and vision of the future and offer new creatures and abilities.
And maybe your ideas in future being realized in New Ashan story.
If a lot of people keep up this idea I formalize the rules in one of following posts.

Have a nice time for All!
I need your votes and offers

Supreme

Do we need a new race? Just give me H5 with balanced and interesting gameplay, and minimal bugs, and I'll buy H6.

Protoss...

Haaa, I miss the forge

I'm happy with the existing races. Unless Nival has something interesting to offer, I'd prefer they refrained from adding another.

id love if they concentrated on bugfixing and balancing this game before they start on a new one... ****, I just had a game for 3 hours the other day, and when we first met (1vs1) the game ****ed up I was in battle, but my friend wasnt and I was stuck there... if that aint a bug, then I dont know what is ?

FIX!

OMG they should totally do that !!!111111

I'm still in favor of going back to the original Might and Magic universe and having an NPC Forge Town in the campaigns. I still remember the first time I arrived on this forum, everyone didn't like my support for the Forge

Forge, Ancients and Kreegans FTW!!!

I would love an nature orientated faction:

Heroe: Beastmaster (racial skill - opened for sugestions)

Creatures:

level 1: rats - plague, breed

level 2: wasps - flyer, poison, incorporeal

level 3: monkeys - shooter, imitator

level 4: wolves - pack hunter, howl

level 5: bears - enraged, fear roar

level 6: tigers - no retaliation, bloodthirsty, jump

level 7: thunderbirds - flyer, immune to lightning, lightning attack

---------------
breed = every week, number of rats in heroe army increase by 5%

plague = -2 attack, -2 defense, -2 speed, -2 initiative (25% chance)

poison = target's ATB value is reduced by 0.3

imitator = every time sommeone cast a spell (own heroe, enemy heroe, units) in battle have a 25% chance to cast that spell (can cast only level 1 and 2 spells, with no mastery effect).

fear roar = 25% chance to paralise 1 enemy by fear (no initiative and no retaliation for 1 turn), the scared unit can be the one under attack or another one adiacent to the bear.

bloodthirsty = after every attack, damage is increased by 5% (on retaliations too, but only against living creatures)

jump = can jump over 1-3 tiles (not walls) with extra 5-15% more damage.

lightning attack = with every attack can cast a lightning bolt of 30 damage per thunderbird (25% chance, creatures immune to lightning are not afected).

I like your nature faction there, but I think you should replace the Thunderbird with a Clever Sheep. There's NOTHING more dangerous than a clever sheep!

*shiver*

As said before, the Naga. They would even fit in Ashan´s lore and all that!

Chaos Dwarves ! Yeah !

Considering the original Fortress and Dungeon were owned in favor of the far less original dwarf and dark elf races, I'd like to see them return as a combined race. A good strong pure monster race, chimera/maticore, basilisks, gorgons or nagas, beholders, medusa, behmoths, trogalydte or lizard man.

I liked the old dungeon and fortress and neither of them exsist in heroes 5

We need a shake-up. Let's face it, no matter how much different the gameplay and graphics are, if you open the box to a new game and get the same old factions it's rather boring. I know people are attached to creatures which have been around since HOMM1, but we really need new creatures/factions and not retreads. At this point I am open to aliens, insects, forge, anything! Look how many races and creatures AOW2SM came up with. It's not that difficult.

Where is your contest entry?

Gnecroamncer what is your opinion of the conflux?

OK then, let's take my "alien" suggestion:

My idea would be to use existing ufology instead of sci-fi.

Level 1 Chupacabra
Level 2 robot drone
Level 3 Nordic - upgrade Nordic hybrid
Level 4 small grey- upgrade tall grey
Level 5 Insectoid
Level 6 Reptoid
Level 7 Supreme Commander

I know 99% of you will loathe this idea; Please no flamers!

GNecromancer, I like your suggestion and agree with it, only I'd prefer the Minotaurs to go to this new faction, and the manticore to new Dungeon as its tier 5 (with a possible upgrade of the hydra to tier 7.)

I'm prolly one of the few people who actually liked conflux... Or atleast the idea of it, it was a pretty inbalanced faction because it was comprised of many neutral units that were essentially equal. But it was an original concept and race and I perfer to see original and interesting factions.

We don't need two entirly different factions dedicated to elves and one entirly dedicated to dwarves... Dwarves are prolly the most un-interesting faction in all of Heroes history, I think like 6 out of 7 of their units are all dwarves and most of them look the same!

Bring back all the heroes 3 factions, and mix em up a little, with some new and different units but keep with those themes. They worked well and you had nine very distinct and interesting factions. Dwarves, orcs and dark elves could easily fit into another faction without completely dominating it.

Dungeon is essentially underworld dwellers, that doesn't mean they all need to be dark elves, put in more monsters.
