I think you better explain why you are saying what you are saying. fro example Inferno = Japan why?
Inferno is japan becsue Japan have got many volcanos. Inferno is cannot be smilatitied with Russia. Russiea is snowey pleca. I think Fortress shoud be Russia.

interesting, I never thought about it like that; however, I disgree with you since you based your idea on geographical bases. Volcano does not equal Japan.
Now that Tribes of the East is out what do you think which faction is the Orc faction. simply by looking at the the buildings I would assume the Orcs are mongolines.

at least write something what are you talking about and also just say what you think about the topic rather than criticizing others writings.

Quote: to alcibiades and VokialBG:
However it is the mijority that counts and so I am still beliving that Academy is a middle eastern region due to sandy terrain, some units from middle east, and last but not the least the middle eastern Architecture.
Aye, I can agree with that about Academy.
Fortress, I guess it draws its roots from Scottish ppl, Haven is Central Europe definitely (middle age one), but I cant rly put any other race in relationship with any of the current/past nations or regoins...
I didnt try the new expansion yet.

1. We are not short.
2. We dont build are homes in snow and in ´the mountains.
3. We dont ride bears.
4. We are not very religious (rune priest).
5. Everybody doesnt have black or brown hair color.
6. We are modern.
7. We stay out of wars.
8. We dont have beards (or the most people dont have).

Haven: France/England
Sylvan: Northern Europe ^^ we dont live in forests.

We have snow here in Norway, yes(we had in 5 days from october the 10. to the 15). But we arn't short. I am 13 years and 177cm high. And many americans arn't fat. Are Bush fat? are Al Gore fat? or are Martin Luther King jr. fat? And we make jokes about swedish people like this: Who many swedish people do you need to wash the car? Two. one to hold the swamp and one to drive back and forth.
My list:
Inferno: Do't know, maybe Island many vulcanoes there.
Haven: France, Germany
Sylvan: Brasil(rain forest)
Fortress: Norway
Academy: Persia/middle east
Stronghold: Maybe America
Dungeon: Don't know anyone that lives mostly in caves
Necropolis: Don't know anybody that uses necromancy

Hmm... entertaining thread. What nation is renowned for riding bears? What nation build their towns right in active volcanos? Und so weiter.
Well, if you do look on the architecture and the structures of each town, then it is probably a bit easier to place them... though, Necropolis and Haven are quite similar, both influenced by European cathredals and castles. Also we have the pure fantasy town, Fortress, that is more influenced by LotR than by actual buildings in our own world.
Academy is quite obviously influenced by persia, while the columns and pillars in Dungeon and Inferno reminds me of ancient greek and roman architecture. Stronghold is influenced by native americans and other nomadic people, while Sylvan is more celtic or ancient norse with its wooden houses.

well no offence but I think you don't know your geography.
in one part you said Haven France/ England then you said sylvan Northern Europe?
also Inferno Middle East and Academy middle east as well?
In addition about dwarfs being northern Europe, even in other games such as age of mythology the area where you live has referred as home land of the Dwarfs.
also the other guy what are you talking about? it is better if you could provide some logical reason why you think the factions represent the nations as you think they do.

I like my list.
I choosed Inferno for Middle East because its really weird down t´here, think iraq.
And they are so stupid that they blow themself up = Inferno.
Haven is of course fitting to france or england in the medieval times.
I think thats a must.
Well, i dont think Fortress looks like Sweden, we have no snow here and we are not dwarves!
And we are smart.
Academy is persia and that is in middle east i think.
We have just completed Asia in school, but i dont think we included persia ;P
I had India, China and Israel (the books were old so i didnt want to read about iraq).
Sylvan = Sweden.
If you have been to sweden you will know what i mean.
We have such a beautiful nature and lot of forests etc.
We are almost as wood elves...
There is small forests all around us, i can see a forest from my window right now and it takes 5 minutes to go there.
And im living in a city/town called Örebro.
Necropolis = Germany.
I dont know why, but i thinks its fitting and was Hitler nice?
He gets no cookie 
I think im good at geography for a 12-year old ;P
Oh and Dungeon is North Korea because its isolated there, its like they are prisoners in their own land.
Next week im going to Germany or Balticum (dont know who to spell it in english but we call it "Baltiska Staterna or Baltikum).
Maybe i will change my mind.

I think this is a quite delicate subject. People might take it with offense, and I'm sure that nobody here wants to hurt anyone from a certain origin. So please, explain yourself. Just write explanation that will clearify you don't compare factions to certain people because of political or racial background.
It will make things much more clear and calm.
