Based in another world and having nothing to do with the current.
It's always been like that and i think it's good but i wish to see old Heroes and Creatures of the series as well.

I think it should be like 100 - 150 ysd after DM. The whole Demons-from-sheogh-escaping-and-the-soverign-ruling-the-world thing got fixed, and this gets mentioned, but it doesn't really matter. Personally I think the whole storyline from DM was rather Cliche, and elaborating on it would be bad. Why are there two threads?

I voted 'Based in another world etc' in the doomed hopes that the other world will feature a return of the true Might and Magic storyline which served the series well for 21 years before Ubival canned it. (I'm sure a few of you expected me to say that) Either they make some drastic and radical improvements to the storylines and history in ToTE or I will lose all faith in Ashan's existent (but unutilised) potential.

Totally new story is needed, in my opinion.
Eventhough they are probably trying to make HOMM's storyline suitable to DM's story, I prefer a new one, just becuase playing with a new fresh story is much more interesting. I've never played DM, and I don't want to play HOMM6 without I totally understand the plot. Maybe that's what they are trying to do - to make us buy DM as well, becuase the plots will fit together and we'll need to know things from the other game as well...
Besides, it will be nice to see them building a story that shows everything they've learn about doing that, after HOMM5. I guess it will have the feeling of Ashan combined with Erathia.

I don't know which answer of the poll is the best to reflect my oppinion - probably sequel to DM. I think the current world works fine for the game, and I think there's amble of options to continue the game within these mythological frames some time during a future, even if the exact characters will not remain.

i assure you the plot in DM is very very simple according to the
heroes 5 world.
i want a sequel to heroes 5. i just dont think that that its going to be related to dark messiah too much but more to the demons being freed by other means
Actually TotE is refreshig in one way. the demons arent the enemy haven is! how wonderful
Personally i expect they will build on this world. they had perfectly sane reasos for dropping erathia and i hold the beleif that you would either get a new world that the storyline is starting to build up in or an inferior erathia. you choose
one thing id vote for if possible would be the return of text boxes alongside cinematics if you want better storylines they could use those to make them deeper too. which doesnt always amount to the same thing but it gives you a better chance
SPOILER ALERT (if your going to play dark messiah)
SPOILERS!
demon messiah comes claims skull and uses it to free the demon sovereign or to seal him either to save the world or claim it.
honestly its really not that serious a plot for you to buy it just for that though its a very fun game and the plot is deeper then that. just not much deeper or relevent beyond sareths(the characters)life

xD you can actually watch a walkthrough Dark Messiah on youtube with all the cut scenes etc. then you won't have to buy the game and you know all about it .
But back to the topic... gee please NOT a whole new world and a whole new story! I mean I see almost everybody in this community wanting their "legendary" heroes back like Sandro and Sol Myr. And now you want Ashan to be blown up so that MORE people can be sad about not having people like Erunia and Ingvar (i know it's not the same but i think you get what im trying to say)?? Anyway why is it that many of you are so disapointed with the H5 storyline?? Is it because there is a little romance in it? I mean come on it's Heroes 5 not "Heroes 3 with 3D Graphics". I like Ashan and the people in it.
I would also like a storyline that begins ca. 100 years after DM with the result that some of the demons are free (because i would hate to see the "good" guys win AGAIN).

Quite frankly it's because of the lame storytelling. The cutscenes are so laughable (random spell effects) and the actions the characters take are boneheaded.

Hmm ok that's true... but well how the story is being told is one thing the actuall story is another. I admit that Heroes 5 has difficulties telling the story with all those lousy cutscenes but the story itself is good it's just not told probably. And making a whole new story won't make the storytelling better.

Axeoth (please, not Erathia, that is a destroyed kingdom, not a world) conveyed far better stories than cheap old Ashan through the power of text alone. I can think of a thousand ways in which Axeoth is superior to Ashan and I still can't comprehend why they would bin a story with so much potential and go with an all-new, truly inferior universe. If these reasons are basically the fact that they were unable to keep up with the storytelling then I suppose I can see why they went for a cheesy world rather than go with the ones that have kept the series going for the best part of two decades.

I never said I didn't like the Storyline of HV. I do. I don't like the storyline of DM.

I do like the idea of "demons freed by other means". Then we could use sareth as a good character and also one having the skul of shadows. Besides building on means 8 races as a starting vershion and if2x expansion pack as alway until we'll most probably get eastern people and nagas and that rocks.

i think sandro is mentioned twice crag hack once and cyrus is actually a hero there...
basically i say you shouldnt bin ashan. yes they couldnt keep up with the storyline in a world they knew very little about.anyway ashan has lots of potential. instead of axeoth (if you insist) they went for starting a new story. anyway heroess 5 starts in ashan. isnt it likely that a world they start in will be worse then one they built up two previous games in?
anyway see heroes 7 and call that terrible in the storylie and maybe ill agree with you. but ubival is trying to copy a series from 3DO. give them time..
Besides that i think the storyline was pretty good. sure isabel was an idiot but that doesnt ruin the entire storyline.most of the individual bits were pretty nice.
Theres limetations to cinematics. you can only put so much (not that im thinking they should use them exclusively either)

I'd prefer something that connects this universe to the old one, something like "Asha is an Ancient, and Urgash is a Kreegan".

No, that would totaly destroy the effect. Plus, have a kreegan and an anceint ever hatched from the same egg?
Also, why does everyone call izzie stupid?
