Well, it's certainly a very steampunkish-looking cannon, but I don't think it fits the overall hi-tech Forge Equipment. Some portable Plasma or Ion Cannon should have been made instead, to bring it up to par with other weaponry - blasters, flamethrowers, cybernetics, etc.
Also, the Forge's siege weapon obviously shouldn't be a regular catapult.
Whoa. Plasma? Ion Cannon? This is Heroes 3 not Command & Conquer Renegade

No, this is "reverse engineering" copy of that sprite, completely created in the 3DSMax by myself.
For comparison, original Flame Cannon sprite from the Warlords 3:

Anyway it look's great and perfectly fits to replace balista. Good work.

a low-tech forge, maybe using clockwork and steam-technology or a combination of them, might be more realistic.
Low-tech forge isn't a forge.

I think that don_komandorr's opinion about ammo cart in forge is the best.

I know no way to have a different catapult or balista regardless the faction. How will work then?
But such ways exists (:

I'm not able to describe it properly. If you want to experiment:
6AAA60 - table for artifacts that sell in town's blacksmith
642EA0 - table for creatures in blacksmith's window.
Binding creature to artifact and battlefield must be coded.
Placing original warfare - near 0046334D.

what about minecraft? I think
that the team should release the mod with a nice big disclaimer sign that will show right before the game starts: "This mod is work in progress. Do not judge it by this version's contents."

Whoa, ok, plasma/ion cannon was merely the first to come to mind. Just look at the other weapons: lasers, tesla coil, jet packs, stingers and with all that you think that regular catapults would fit the Forge better??
Maybe you're right, the 12th and the 22nd century technologies stack really well... I mean, look at modern armies using swords and spears alongside M4s and AKs. And then my logic gets criticized...

Vade_Parvis cannon to replace balista and how about a portable tesla coil to replace catapult? Same stuff on the wheels but cannons tube is replaced with tesla coil.
About lasers. The only lasers forge uses are blasters. No one has the knowledge how to create them. So Kastore uses forge to dublicate these weapons because he doesnt know how to construct them. Every other unit beside goblins has bullets, explosives or flame (quite primitive when blasters are available). The evil side has the primitive technology but this is Might and Magic world. They dont know how to use it well or how to construct advanced machines or weapons. Jet packs? I think later they got one from Lincoln spaceship and dublicated it with forge or constructed a primitive one because we never saw the original minotaur with jet pack only 5 creatures were released. But looking at them we can imagine the other two. The only things that keep forge units moving are internal combustion engine and steam power engine, but they are sure used in a very interesting way. Yeah like steam powered gigantic stinger. So jet pack should be similar (big and steam or petroleum powered OR like i said modern jet pack from spaceship dublicated by forge) however we cant call juggernaut modern. That one doesnt fit in forge for dublication. Just big old rusty walking mountain of steel.

"I mean, look at modern armies using swords and spears alongside M4s and AKs." Hmm now where did i see that one? Oh yeah Fallout. Some raiders come atacking with spears and knives while others are using AK-47. Thats whats forge is about. Just look at cyber-zombies. Why the F.... do they have a saw in their belly. Is he like gonna do a deadly hug ?  Pyro is a hand to hand fighter. So where is the armor? Naga-tank? wouldnt it be better just to place a cannon instead of naga? Thats what i mean when i say "they dont know how to use this new technology well".

Hello!
I think it is a good moment to reveal my team called The Heavenly Forge Team (original, eh? )! We have been working on this town for several months and now we can show you some things that were already made.
Firstly I would like to show You townscreen. Town is fully upgraded and it looks so cool. Special thanks to benhur for a package of buildings posted several months ago. If you want to know our statement, we added Nanomedic's Tent as a picture found on the internet and 3D modelled Lighthouse by me, the leader of the project. I cannot forget about my three friends: Ulung, B9 and vanBhradok that gave concept, alpha model and 2D support to it. Without them there would not be this building and I am not the one and only creator.
Bear in mind that one building is still missing and one needs to be fixed, but do not worry - we are still doing this modification and we will release it when it will be ready.
As you may noticed, I hid the units portraits and hero. Well... you will be able to see them in right time, but as I see you were talking before about nagas from another team's concept, so I posting non-upgraded naga portrait would be fair:
Also, I see that another team is proceeding in Forge. Good luck guys! It is another good information today, the chains of cursed for 12 years town can be at last destroyed.
Besides, more teams mean more towns and it'll be good also for Forge itself and for the H3 players.
If you wish you can say what you would like to see... I can reveal more pictures, but only if I'd positively stated to your reguest(s).
Regards,
- Manigoldo aka Silverado
Notice that it is not an annoucement of mod's premieere. We'll give you the town when it'll finished...
Do not forget that it is alpha version and still need to be tested. Strange unit's growth is the example of what needs to be changed.

Good luck guys, I hope it will be completed soon

Well done, Manigoldo, I wish your team the best of luck! I'm sure we all hope to see the Forge project finally accomplished.
You'd reveal more pictures per our request? Well, here's one: please show us more pictures
Now, if I may say so, while the original town screen looks grimly beautiful, the lighthouse seems slightly misplaced, given the fact that it is used to guide ships and Deyja is completely surrounded by land; however, the artist maintains the right to change his work as he pleases.
I am also pleased to hear that Don's team is back... I just hope this isn't another "golden age" of the Forge that will last for a few days before the project sinks into darkness yet again.

Oh, really? At least in Might and Magic VII in the north of Deyja there was some water.
