"The problem, of course, is one of balance. Factions that rely on suppressing others' abilities often become either unstoppable or road kill, so it should be interesting to see how the team at Nival deals with the Orcs."

wise words.

We all know how powerful the counter-system is in this part of HoMM (see academy with arties, haven with anti-dark paladins..). If the orcs can supress or even block magic, it can be quite hard to balance.

Yep. Nival must somehow make a balance there. The orcs must be beatable for the other factions.

Btw what do you think the orcs' ultimate ability will be? I suggest Outrage: All orc units strike twice in meele combat and enemy realation always have bad luck

How come Alc edited that?

Also, I don't think that stronghold makes sense for a grouping of tents...

They're naming it Stronghold?
Bastion effectively equals Stronghold in definition. Therefore, it doesn't make sense for a grouping of tents either.

Im starting to like Bastion more then Stronghold, maybe of the reason its just different, new... stronghold is just, the old days . These orcs are very new to the serie, so they should also have new name

Jolly Joker on the ubi forums (translator for german version) has been pretty insistent that they decrease the damage or effect, not totally negate.

Think of how the warlock resistance stuff works...

Perhaps, but I think Stronghold seems more orcish than bastion. But when you guys mention it, none of them fits a town of tents. Perhaps....Little Bighorn

Not that I mind all these previews of TotE, the more publicity the better, but Realy wish one of them would give some new inforamtion. They basicly all say the same, which is possibly because all of them were present at the Chinajoy convention. Also, I somehow doubt that what they say is the Actual campain, but the Orc-introductory/tutorial map(s).

Also I've only seen it called Bastion so far, besides the Ubisoft site refers to it as Bastion. So my money is still on Bastion.

That's true. I miss some new information, perhaps some more about the orc units. As you say the story they talk about is most likely the introductory campaign for the orcs. The main orc campaign will be against demons (I think) and the orcs will cind of save the world (I know this is an exaggeration).

Anyway, I will be away some days from now. Hoping for some real news when I'm back

I think it's very unlikely. In the videos from Chinajoy, you could see that all units had the town description "Stronghold". As these videos provide direct in-game information and are younger than the info from the UBI homepage, I think they are the current best offer for the real name.

It would probably be modable, but would take a lot of time to dig out ALL the text files and change them.

Well I've successfully changed the name 'Sylvan' to 'Preserve' in the original game with minimal effort, so surely it won't be all that difficult with only a few hundred extra creature, spell and town folders in the way.

True as that might be, the chinajoy videos are very unsharp so I haven't seen that myself. Also the videos might have been Beta-images and just as many units had a manjor overhaul in their names in Beta, Stronghold might have just been the Beta-name for the Orc-town.
