My Vision of HOMM6
This is my vision of how Heroes of Might and Magic 6 should look like. As I see it, HOMM6 for HOMM5 should be what HOMM3 was for HOMM2 - system improvement, new functions and mainly much more variety; more races, more creatures, expanded and balanced new world.
New things:
-A whole new world; a whole new story.
-5 new races; Nagas, Centaurs, Nomads, Trolls and Mindflayers.
-A LOT of new creatures, some are mythic, some are original.
-Different creature's status.
-Dragons are not gods anymore.
-Might and Magic Heroes are back.
Things that remain as they are:
-The alternative upgrades system.
-The races system - NO randomal creatures on randomal towns.
-Races from H5 won't disappear; we only add new ones.
Things I'm not sure about:
-Heroes skills and abilities system.
-Spells system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World's name: Plathia
I think that this is a great map to base HOMM6 on.
Eventhough it has been originally made for Ashan, it fits for HOMM6 pretty well.
HOMM5 world was mainly on the western part of this map.
When the rest of the world is revealed, new races are discovered.
The Nagas of Hashima and Naquera, The Centaurs of the Vale of Heresh, The Nomads of Khotan and the Plains of Woe, The Trolls of Thyssus and the Mindflayers of the Shrouded South.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gods:
I feel that it's the time to go back to the ancient Greece gods, instead of the elemental Dragons.
Let's give each faction a character, not just one of the nature's elementals.
We have 13 gods, each one is fitted to a specific faction.
Terath-God of War
Adinalia-Goddess of Nature
Roquar-God of Oceans
Naakia-Goddes of Light
Harporeen-God of Magic
Nadyara-Goddess of Love
Ardaran-God of Kindness
Quantia-Goddes of Wisdom
Fundorio-God of Sky and Sun
Ono-God of Aggression
Alissea-Goddes of Volcanoes
Jardeo-God of Storms
Sauryth-Goddes of Moon

History:
introduction:
Plathia's Creation:
It isn't known how or when the gods of Plathia were exactly created. The story tells that every one of them left a different world, to search for a new place to settle. Each one of them came from a different background, looking for what he sees as the ultimate world.
Alissea created the planet's core. Roquar created the sees and the oceans and Adinalia added the land, the plants and the animals. Fundorio created the Sky and the Sun and Naakia directed the light towards Plathia. Souryth added a moon, that will shine in the night. Jardeo added a special climate to every zone of Palathia.
However, they felt that something is missing. Life on Plathia, unique creatures that will polpulate the world they created. Each one of them created a special kind of creatures, according to his liking. Harporeen tought them kindness, Raadero gave them magical abilities, Quantia gave them some wisdom and Nadyara gave them the ability to love.
The gods settled on islands in the Doom Sea, and made any coming ship to crash, so creatures won't be able to bother them, and will get away from the zone. They were pleased with the world they created and had happy lives.
Terath and Ono change things:
After many years of harmony and quiet on Plathia, Ono and Terath were pretty bored. They have gotten used to wars and couldn't live in Plathia as it was. They decided to change things a bit. Terath gave Plathia's creatures the wish to expand and conquer, and Ono gave them the agression.
None of the other gods knew about this action.
The beginning of Wars:
Creatures from all over Plathia started to fight each other. The blood rage was unstoppable. None of the gods knew what to do.
Terath decided to tell the gods about what he and Ono did. When the other gods found they were furious.
They all decide that the Agression and the wish to expand conquer should be balanced with comradeship and unification of the creatures.
The results the of gods' actions:
Instead of killing each other just like that, the creatures of Plathia settled in kingdoms, built large armies, created heavy weapons and armor, and made huge battles, that caused death of so many creatures, that most of the kingdoms fell apart.
Creatures united with others that have no blood relation to them, and many new brotherhoods, tribes and clans have been created by that.
Timeline:
26 Before YSD - The Demons invention
The Demons attacked the Wizards and the Humans on huge armies. Lack of organization and tactics led them into big losses. Eventually, they had to give up and go back to defend their own lands.
24 Before YSD - Centaurs' Escape
The Wizards were far away from their kingdom Al-Shazzar, fighting against the Demons. The enslaved and prisoned Centaurs decided to do a rebellion. All the Centaurs from all over AL-Shazzar ran away. They escaped and got to the Vale of Heresh, with the assistance of the Trolls, that gave them ships so they will be able to cross Mintogo bay easily.
23 Before YSD - The Wizards are back to the Desert.
A year after the rebellion, Al-Shazzar kingdom is weak and poor. The Wizards go back to their desert, and leave the humans alone, fighting against the Demons. When they come back from the War, they find their kingdom crashed. They start rebuilding it, using creatures they create, what makes the Centaurs angrier.
20 Before YSD - The Griffin Empire Retreats
Fighting against the Demons is too hard for the humans, without the assistance of the Wizrads. The humans go back to the Griffin Empire lands and immediately start practising.
15 Before YSD - Nomads' Gathering
The results of the wars become noticeable. So many creatures died, so many creatures, lost their homes and their livelihood, so many creatures were exiled from their houses (mainly humans). They find each other in Khotan and the Plains of Woe, and help each other to survive. This is the beginning of the Nomads' clans.
12 Before YSD - The Elves' Surprise.
The Trolls attack Irollan. The surprised Elves defend themselve, without knowing that this war going to last for many long years.
0 YSD - The Death of Mayrath
The Elves were the first to start counting the years. The day they started counting was the day that their Legandery king, Mayrath died in the battle against the Trolls. Mayrath was a great commander. His legion won many battles against the Trolls, that were detemined to kill him. Eventually he was killed by a shot of the of Troll King, Parad.
11 YSD - The War Ends
The war between the Trolls and the Elves seems almost immortal. Both sides manage to capture some of the enemy's lands, but they have hard time controlling them, since they are not used to live there. When the war ends, both kingdoms are weak and tired.
14 YSD - The Hastiness of the Centaurs
The Centaurs discover Nariya. They want to capture those tropical islands in the east. They don't know what kind of creatures live there, and how powerful is their army. They take the risk and attack it without checking. The nagas that live there beat them quite easily, from the sea.
16 YSD - The Wizards Search for the Centaurs
The Wizards go to the Vale of Heresh, to look for the Centaurs. They know their kingdom is crashed. They are weak. The Wizards wish to take them back to Al-Shazzar, to enslave them. The Centaurs manage to hide themselves.
19 YSD - Landyr is Killed
The Centaurs sent an assassin to Al-Shazzar, to kill the Wizarad Landyr, the old Wizard that created the Centaurs. He was 102 when he died, and had no children or some that could know the way to create the Centaurs after him. The Centaurs knew that with Landyr, the Wizards will be able to creature more Centaurs and to enslave them, and the Centaurs of the Vale of Heresh wanted to prevent other Centaurs from suffering like that.
26 YSD - The Nomads Cooperate
After many times that the Orcs and the Demons have robbed them, the Nomads of Khotan and the Plains of Woe decide to build an army to protect themselves. They tame the creatures of the area; Rocs, Snakes, Hawks and Behemoths, so they will be able to use them on the next time the come. They manage to stop the robberies, and to prevent their enemies from passing in the area.
34 YSD - The Strom of Peace
After so many wars and death, the population is Plathia is tired. Nobody cares what's going to happen. Everyone is deparate. The atmosphere affects also the gods in the Islands of the Doom Sea.
Jardeo sends a single Thunderbird. With all the power it has, the mighty Thunderbird creates a massive strom, that covers the entire Plathia. The rain washes the blood and gives the people of Plathia a new hope. Eversince then, the Thunderbird is a symbol for the peace.
64 YSD - The Nomads' Surprising Incursion
30 years of peace passed. When everyone was sure nobody will do the mistake of inflaming Plathia with battles again, the Nomads were planning to revenage the Orcs, that abused them and robbed them throughout the last centauries. They planned to details a massive attack on the orcs, that settled in the unknown east in the Plains of Woe (part of the Plains). The attack was so surpising, and the Orcs were hopeless against the Nomads. Within 8 days, the Nomads managed to conquar almost all the Orcs lands on the Plains of Woe.

Swiftness:
Shape Shifting ability doesn't take a turn. The Quick Arquen can play right after it shifts its shape.
Anrious:
The maximum number of creatures in the Anri Arquens' stack (after the shifting) is 1.5 of the number of the creatures in the enemy's stack.
The Arquen is a Shape Shifter. It looks like a huge rock, with small purple eyes. It cannot move, attack or retaliate, as itself.
The Arquens are very mysterious creatures. They are not well known by the large kingdoms of Ashan, and only the deeps living creatures (Mindflayers, Dark Elves) know their secrets.
The Arquens live alone. They don't need food or water to live, thus they have no reason to move a lot. However, they sometimes shift their shape to bats or minotaurs, so they can get to know the area caves and the caverns around them. When they feel danger, they hide themselves by turning to rocks. Therefore, it's very hard to catch control an Arquen and only practised mindflayers can do that. Therefore, they are very expensive for their level.

Thanks, Ted. If you don't have time to read to entire thing, you can take a glance on the creatures' line up on the end of the first post.
I decided to go a bit forward, to the far future that can be changed. TotE is finished, or almost finished, and our opinion won't matter anymore. So HOMM6 is the next big thing to think about, although it will probably come in atleast 2 years.
I'm wondering who will be the one that will quote the entire thing just to say "Good job!"

Mindflayer is not gonna happen as as far as I know, it's a copyrighted species by D&D.
As for the other factions, I enjoy seeing this amount of creativity, but don't you think it would be a bit over the top to have 13 factions in the game? Personally I even fail to see the general purpose of centaur or normad tribes, as they are in essence barbarian towns, only minor variations. That's hardly worth playing. The reptiles are definately a sorely missed town though. I really hope they WILL add that.
Best to prey Heroes V was a test run for them, to see if there was enough popularity, and Heroes VI is gonna have more specialized towns 
- Humans
- Demons
- Warlocks
- Woodelfs
- Undead
- Wizards
- Orcs
Those are the core 7 in my opinion anyway.
- Reptiles
- Something new.
9 seems like a decent number for towns. Dwarves were a nice idea but I don't need to see an entire faction devoted to them honestly. Even though they tend to be a core species in many fantasies, they never have been THAT core in heroes, they've always been a part of Sylvan.
I'd even rather have them as neutrals, really.

If I had to, I would give up the Dark Elves and the Dwarves, BUT I honestly think that HOMM6 should only add to HOMM5. I don't really think that 13 factions is a problem at all. think about it, until HOMM6 comes, we will have much better computers and it will work okay.
And Ubisoft can buy the copyrights for the mindflayers, although I don't really believe Ubifost will do that. I don't know one company that likes to spend money when there is another option.

I think its great but nomands, trolls and centaurs should be in one town. I dont think they can have their own towns.
And i agreed that 13 factions are to much. Buti would love to see an naga town.
And about the mindflayers, Blizzard created the Faceless, they almost look like the mindflayers... -.-

personally, i think that heroes is going to stay on this course, and hopefully involve a new storyline. its takes place after the races have trashed Ashan, they discover a new continent by the name of Iona. this new continent is rich in wildlife, minerals, and natural fauna. it is also home to the lizardmen, who are none too happy about having round about eleven newcomers onto their land claiming it as their own. each race has there own reason for being there, giving the game a non-linear campaign idea, a little bit like "dawn of war: dark crusade" only without the futuristic stuff.
the races: core reason
Ziggaruat (lizardmen): Hold
Academy: Research
Sylvan: Preserve
Dwarves: Recover
Palace (naga): Harmonise
Haven: Crusade
Inferno: defile
Nerco: harvest
Dungeon: enslave
Bastion: conquer
Hive (insectiods): devour
Confederation (free cities): industrialise
more to come

That's a nice idea, and an optional campaign for HOMM6, or even for HOMM5... If we just add some details and use this basic concept, we can build a campaign for HOMM5 based on that. It can be a really enjoyable campaign - a war of almost everyone against everyone on the unknown land... Nice, bixie!

it was more an idea for a game with that as the storyline. you play as different races, and start off with a central site to defend. if you take other people central sites, they have a cinematic of them loosing (the demon character gets taken to a horrible torture room, the dark elf character makes a quick getaway, etc.) this continues until you have taken all 12 central sites, where upon you win the campaign and a cinematic happens of what your race does with the land.
along with that, each race gets an additional lvl 4creature which can be hired from the mercenary guild (elves get werewolves, humans get flagelettes, demons get incubi, nerco gets reverant).
the races that i have suggested would probably need to have a wide diversity of cultures to use, which should got for the new races as well. i was thinking of the following.
naga: japanese (i have been pushing this for a while), so it will have stuff like samurai swords, pagodas, a need for balance, and a strict code of honour.
confederation: (now, GL, you are probably going to kill me, but) semi-futuristic. steam powered, gun powder, made gizmos and a endless hunger for resources.
lizardmen: mayan or aztec, dagger clubs, jaguar warriors, where their culture is being taken away from them, and they must remedy it.
insectiod: biological structure, gained through a special resource that you can only get if you kill creatures. fleshy walls, maws, big queen in the centre... etcetera etcetera.
that sound fun?

Good work GL i like the idea of Troll city  Only thing what didn't like was the Mindflayers. Never fancied Evil Eyes or Venom Spaws.
Gargoyles and Minotaurs works for me and maybe Harpies (H5 furies) could trade places whit Gargoyles again. Neutral aligment for Harpies and maybe unite Centaur and Nomand clans. Too mutch nature\sylvan towns aren't needed. Swamp\Naga town would be great also but maybe not both. Basilisks\Nagas\Hydras i don't know how that works tough..
Oh yeah and bring back the Might and Magic heroes! Only this time Magic heroes should be as equal to Might heroes. Not only increased change of getting SP or KN. What if ex. Necromancers would have different skill tree than Death Knights? Lower primary skills but different necromancy perks

Yes, bringing back the Might and Magic heroes sounds good.
I have to admit it's very difficult to find might and magic heroes for those unusual races.
I ended up with:
Nagas:
Might: Countess
Magic: Matriarch
Centaurs:
Might: Keeper
Magic: Chieftain
Nomads:
Might: Wanderer
Magic: Soothsayer
Trolls:
Might: Warlord
Magic: Seer
Mindflayers:
Might: Overseer
Magic: Sorcerer

Looking great all this, though I will miss my dragon gods, especially Arkath, Malassa and Sylanna...oh well
Hope the djinns and its upg + the gargoyle jukeboxes gets good ol designs, you know what I mean.
Btw: Will there be neutrals aligned to some of the towns? If so werewolves could be aligned with the Centaurs? I really hope werewolves will be included in this mod, I have waited for them in a Homm game as for so long I could remember. At least make them neutral and as lvl 4-5 creatures. Upgrades for them would be nice.
Just some ideas
Werewolf (grey)
Black Werewolf
White Werewolf
or
Werewolf (brown)
Grey Werewolf
Black/White Werewolf
Instead of color/contrast names
Werewolf (grey colored)
Rabid Werewolf
Stalking Werewolf

Werewolf can get in as a neutral creature. But up to now, neutral creatures have never had upgrades. I think it should stay this way, becuase you'll have no place to upgrade them except of the Hill Fort, which is not very common anyway.
As neutral creature, I think we shall have:
Rogue, Werewolf, Phoenix, Elementals, Halflings (or Hobbits), Death Knight and maybe Genie.
I would like to the Mummy inside Necropolis (like in H2).

While 13 races is "ok" if theyre all done well i somehow feel thats a lot to pull off, I thinks 9 would be ok with a lot of neutrals

People, please read atleast the first post before you just reply.
HOMM5 factions are not gone. We only add new ones.
13 factions seems like a lot, but it's only an addition of variety that we need. For example, as a player of HOMM1 (that had 4 factions), I would think it's crazy to have 8 factions. But HOMM3 was a huge success, mainly because of the variety of factions it has.
We can't keep everything the same. I like HOMM5 as well, but this is a whole new game, not just an expansion.
