Xerox HoMM6 II
Heroes of Might and Magic VI
Barely two months has past since Sareth released his demon father Kha-beleth and became the true Dark Messiah.
Kha-beleth combined his powers with Sareth to destroy the beutiful continent of Paleadra.
Brave warriors fought the hordes of demons released by the Dark Messiah but lost everything.
The Demons ravaged the Unicorn Empire and humans deperatly tried to defend it but in the end Queen Freyda could not let her people stay in the old world, she could not see her people burn in front of her eyes. They were forced to sail across the ocean to a new world...
The Wood Elves and Dwarfs fought bravely for their lands but also them were forced to sail across the ocean to distant lands.
The Orcs in the far east fought their enemies with pride and honor but without good results. But the orcs refuse to leave their lands. Pride and honor has consumed them.
The Wizards themself flew away their magical cities to the far north, trying to escape all wars.
The Necromancers were scattered across the continent and many fled by boats to the mysterious Shrouded South, only to meet an enemy perhaps even worse then Demons...
The Dark Elves have been destroyed by an unknown force from deep below the earth - nothing is known about their fate.
Humans, Elves and Dwarfs now seek to successfully rebuild a new kingdom in a new world and then, in the final hour, strike back with full force to reclaim their old homes.
But even in distant lands evil lurks...
A Dark Age has come and the demons of Urgash are stronger then ever and have free entrace to Ashan.
With almost all races of Ashan shattered and almost destroyed, it seems impossible to defeat the evil demon Overlords.
But light cannot exist without darkness and evil cannot exist without good. Will the races of Ashan be able to defeat the ancient evil of Ashan once and for all before the demons destroy them?
Only time will tell - because this time Ashan is not united...

Magic
In HoMM6 there will be six magic schools.
I think that the magic system is fine and very easy to learn.
A 5-year old understands it.
The magic schools will be Light, Dark, Destruction, Summoning, Elemental and Arcane.
All factions master two diffrent spell schools.
For example, fortress are very experienced in Light and Arcane magic.
In HOMM6 spellpower and knowledge will not be that important anymore, but can still boost your spells A LOT.
Spellpower increases the effect and power of the spell and knowledge your mana and duration of your spells. Non duration based spell will also be affected by knowledge, instead of increased duration that spell wíll be cheaper to cast.
Each magic school is also splitted in three small sub-schools (for example, for Light Magic "Benediction" boosts defensive blessings, "Wrath" boosts damage spells and offensive blessings and "Life" increases healing spells).
Spell Descriptions
Light Magic...
is great for blessings. It makes your creatures stronger and tougher.

Rescourses
In my HoMM6 some new rescourses and some that has been removed.
Main Rescourses
Stone: Replacing "Ore", stone is needed to construct buildings and other things. All factions need a lot of stone.
Wood: In addition to buildings, wood is also used for unit equipment and weapons. Many factions needs a lot of wood, but these are the ones that need the most wood: Grove, Castle and Ramparts.
Crystal: Crystals are used by spellcasters and for many religious and arcane stuff. Crystals are rather rare and most used by these factions: Sanctuary, Palace and Academy.
Metal: Metal used for various equipment, buildings and technology etc. These factions use metal a lot: Inferno, Stronghold and Academy.
Gold: Gold is used for almost everything in trade. Gold is a main rescourse and further regenrated by the Food rescourse.
Secondary Rescourses
Food: Food is explained below however it has stuff to do with the population system. It helps you get gold and some food is automatically drained each turn (depending on how many units you have).
Runestone: Only used by Dwarves, Runestone is a special rescourse for their buildings. Runestone is a very, very rare but powerful rescourse. More about it on the Dwarven Stronghold post.
Favor: Only used by the Dragonic Sanctuary. The Sanctuary units are so expensive (but powerful) that they have an additional rescourse to help them. Favor can also increase Sanctuary unit stats even further.
HoMM6 Population System
Each town will have a population depending on the towns level.
The more population you have, the higher income you will come.
There are skills and buildings to further increase population.
Each day you gain gold depending on what town level, special buildings, skills and population you have.
Village Hall = 1000 Citizens = +10 gold per day.
Town Hall = 10.000 Citizens = +100 gold per day.
City Hall = 100.000 Citizens = +1000 gold per day.
Capitol = 200.000 citizens = +2000 gold per day.
Each town level adds 100 citizens which translates to +1 gold a day.
500.000 is max.
500.000 would give +5000 gold per day.
But 500.000 people is VERY hard to get.
But villagers need food, a empire, kingdom or faction cannot survive without it.
If you do not have enough food, your population will slowly die.
Food is generated by Farms and is a rescourse like wood and ore.
Each week, some of your food supply will disappear because you send it to your army and citizens.
The food taken away depends on the total population and number of creatures. Some factions have special skills which makes you dont need as much food as usually (like Necropolis or Inferno for example).
If your population dies, then your left without any good income, since the gold generated by town centers etc will be very reduced.
Each town shares the amount of gold your kingdom have.
You can sack enemy towns and get some of that towns gold or destroy it and kill 65% of the population and take the others to your town as slaves. If you sack 50% of the population will die of disease and starvation.
You can however spread out your kingdoms gold over different towns as you will. However, towns with lower gold will slowly get lower population.
More about this below.
Towns & Town Types
In my Heroes of Might and Magic 6 there will be five diffrent town types!
Normal towns, mercenary towns, neutral towns, settlements and outposts.
When you attack or capture a neutral town it will allow you to choose any town to transform it to.
Mercenary Towns are minor towns who no one can control.
Your heroes can train there and do additional services including do good trading at the marketplace or just seek a refuge from the enemy for up to four days and after that he cant enter it after one week.
In the mercenary towns you can also buy creatures which are more expensive and weaker then normal ones.
There are four tiers of creature to be bought, without upgrades.
Tier 1,3,5 and 7.
Mercenary Towns regenrates creatures per day like in H4.
Normal towns and settlements and outposts doesnt.
In the orginal game there are two mercenary towns, the Pyramid and the Conflux aka Lizardmen and Elementals.
In the two expansions there will be Coven and Nexus aka Dark Elves and void creatures.
There is usuly one mercenary town in the center of the map.
Outposts & Settlements are.... erm... outposts ;P
On many maps there are settlements and outposts spread out over the map. There each faction can build a very small bastion/town where they can do minor things, like trade, recruit a hero or hire some few creatures or just play mini games and relax for example.
But the real deal of these "towns" is that they increases the rescourses generated in nearby rescourse sites.
For example: My hero finds a outpost. Im Sanctuary faction so im able to build a Shrine on the outpost.
Now all nearby captured mines will get 1+ in there rescourses for every week and i will be allowed to use the Thiefs Guild, restore mana, trade and play mini games in the Shrine.
My other hero finds a settlement, even greater then outposts.
On the settlement he builds a Temple.
Now all nearby rescourses will gather +1 each day.
I will also be able to do all the things i can do in the outposts plus recruit creatures at a higher cost and in only tier 1-4 creatures plus send caravans with units to it and buy war machines and one hero per month.
Outposts and Settlements often boost your racial skill.
For example Sanctuary has the favor racial skill, they will regenrate more favor per week by buiding more Shrines on Outposts and Temples on Settlements.
List of Outposts and Settlements by faction:
Castle
Outpost: Watchpost
Settlement: Fort
Stronghold.
Outpost: Hall
Settlement: Vault
Hive.
Outpost: Burrow
Settlement: Nest
Grove.
Outpost: Preserve
Settlement: Sylvan
Lair.
Outpost: Maze
Settlement: Dungeon
Palace.
Outpost: Pavalion
Settlement: Altar
Necropolis
Outpost: Crypt
Settlement: Laboratory
Ramparts
Outpost: Bastion
Settlement: Tower
Inferno
Outpost: Hellcamp
Settlement: Hellgate
Academy
Outpost: Libary
Settlement: Spire
Sanctuary
Outpost: Shrine
Settlement: Temple
Towns are now also sackable and desturctable.
Destroy Town: Completly destroys the town, eradicating it and kills 65% of the population is slaugthered or totured to death.
The surviving 35% are kept as slaves which is spread through your towns and increases your population.
Usefull when another enemy hero is comming and you are low on creatures. You will also get 15% of the towns gold.
Sack Town: Sacks the town, killing 50% of the population. Either they do a revolt, needs to be killed or dies of disease and starvation or júst finish their lifes themself.
The surviving 50% will contiune to live in your town, but 20% of them will flee over time. The sacked town will not have any population except those 30% that is left and after a while people will slowly move in to it.
When sacking the town you take some of the enemies gold.
Naval Changes
In my HoMM6 the effectivness of boats will be better.
There will be sub-heroes for boats, the Admirals, and 3 diffrent types and tiers of boats. More about Admirals later.
All boats have stats.
Diffrent types of boats can do diffrent types of tasks.
Some boats cannot attack other boats and some can. Boats can upgrade through ship buildings in your town and through the Admirals skills and level
Just like in previous HoMM games you can battle with your ships. Some boats have weapons buildt on them like cannons or ballistas or greek (hell)fire.
Boats can be controlled by heroes but must not. However they must be controlled by some one. You can recruit Admirals from diffrent shipyards. Yes, there wont be one shipyard, but three, two are upgrades. From the shipyards you will be able to buy Admirals and troops to have on your ships.
You dont need to have troops on your ships but its very recommended to have some troops on your ships to guard them.
Like i said before some ships already have weapons on them to use.
If there is a ship battle with creatures in it then the creatures battle first and after the enemies or your own creatures are dead there is a battle between the boats.
If there is no creatures then its just ship vs ship.
I will give two examples.
1. My boat has 100 Imps, 50 Cultists, 50 Demoniacs and 10 Succubi in its Admirals army.
I attack the enemies war boat.
He has a admiral of course and 50 Footmen and 100 Longbowmen.
My boat has a ballista, his has a cannon.
So my creatures hits enemies creatures and vice versa. I kill all his creatures and win the first round.
Now my weapon/s on the ship plus my creatures are in combat against their boat and their cannons.
Before the second round, Boat VS Boat, begins i can choose to retreat or not. If i choose to not go on to the boat vs boat round the enemy ship retreats to the closest ship building and repairs plus gathers a new admirals and creatures etc.
Example 2.
I have no creatures on my boat. Just a Admiral, because some one must control the boat. I have four cannons on my boat against the enemies boat with no creatures.
My four cannons destroys his boat.
So in this case you start the second round when the combat starts, because you cant perform the first round since there are no creatures.
Here is a funny roleplaying thing you can do. As i said before you can have a hero instead of a Admiral on your boat.
If you have Battle Mode turned on then you can have duels between heroes on the boats!
You can combine Battle Boats with Transport Boats, so that they guard the transport boats, transported creatures do not join the first round and only one Admiral and its army can fight in a battle with many boats (but boats in a group can still attack enemy boats in a group battle with their weapons).
As you see boat battles can be epic and the campaign will really make them epic.
These are the three types of boats.
Through the Admiral you can upgrade your boat and add weapons and give them names etc.
TRANSPORT BOATS
Transport boats are boats for transport of course.
You transport units in them.
Please note that diffrent factions have diffrent kinds of boat types for example the naga uses giant turtles and the wizards hovering platforms. But stats are same.
Unlike creatures boats do not stack.
For example if a Emperor Leviathans growth is 2 and i dont buy it i will be able to buy 4 of them next week, this doesnt happen with boats. They reset. Always a number of boats per week.
Transport boats can even transport villagers between coast towns, effective when you know the enemy is going to attack.
GATHERING BOATS
Exploration and gathering boats are rescourse boats.
They can fish on some places, increasing your food income or dive for stone and crystal for a extra income. Yes, there are special "mining-like" building in the water too, but a gathering boat must be placed in them.
Gathering boats are the only boats that can pick up rescourses on water, rescourses which will reset, which will contiune to spawn each week. Gathering boats can even transport gold between coast towns, effective when you know the enemy is going to attack.
Note that gathering ships cannot transport creatures.

Skills
Heroes can upgrade their abilities through skills. When a hero levels up after a special amount of experience, the hero can learn a new skill or improve a old one.
A hero can for example take the Offense skill, increasing the damage he and his army delas in combat or improve his Dark magic casting further. In heroes VI there are several new skills, and many also improves the hero further if you choose the H4 style "Battle Mode".
Offense 
Offense is skill that increases the strenght of your creatures and hero. Offense sub-skills further improves damage of ranged, flying and cavalry (new creature type) creatures.
Its the clear opposite of Defense.
In addition they have several sub-skills, and some sub-skills leads to more powerful sub-skills.
Simple Offense: Increases damage dealt by your hero and creature by 10%.
Medium Offense: Increases damage dealt by your hero and creatures in melee combat by 20%.
Master Offense: Increases damage dealt by your hero and creatures in melee combat by 30%.
Sub-skills.
Archery Training: Increases damage dealt by ranged attacks of creatures and battle heroes by 30%.
Cavalry Training: Increases damage dealt from cavalry creatures by additional 10%.
Sky Training: Increases damage dealt from flyers by addintional 15%. Does not affect teleporters and hoverers.
Lesser Sub-Skills
Flaming Shots: All shooters (including the ballista and hero) ignores 50% of the enemies defense when attacking.
This does not affect creatures with the "Magical Attack" ability.
Wrath: Increases damage of retailation strikes by 30%.
Bloodthirst: The hero and his troops gain +2 min and maxium damage. Heroes without Battle Mode gains 2 attack, but creatures will only get +1 minium and maxium damage.
Offensive Formation: Each time a creature or hero turns on "Wait" his next attack will do 10% additional damage.
Defense 
The clear opposite of offense, defense increases the vitality of your creatures and makes them tougher.
Defense sub-skills can instead protect against cavalry, shooters and flyers.
Simple Defense: Reduces damage dealt to your hero and creature by 10%
Medium Defense: Reduces damage dealt to your hero and creatures in melee combat by 20%.
Master Defense: Reduces damage dealt to your hero and creatures in melee combat by 30%.
Sub-skills.
Evasion: Reduces ranged damage dealt to your hero and creatures by 30%.
Defensive Stance: Reduces cavalry damage dealt to your hero and creatures by 10%.
Prepartation: Reduces flying damage dealt to your hero or creatures by 15%.
Lesser Sub-Skills
Dwarven Armor: Reduces all elemental damage taken by 20%.
This is does not protect against any spells.
Like the Flamming Shots lesser sub-skill does Fire damage and a dragon with "Fire Breath" does fire damage etc
Readiness: Reduces retailation damage taken by 30%.
Defensive Formation: Defensive stance increases defense by additional 25% untill the next turn.
Endurance: Increases the maxium health points of all creatures by 3. Very effective for low tier creatures.
Exploration 
Exploration is almost the same skill as Logistics in H5.
Its all about speed. Its makes caravans, heroes and later creatures faster.
Simple Exploration Increases hero's movement speed over land by 15% and its speed in the battlefield by 1 if Battle Mode is activated.
Medium Exploration: Increases hero's movement speed over land by 25% and its speed in the battlefield by 2 if Battle Mode is activated.
Master Exploration: Increases hero's movement speed over land by 35% and its speed in the battlefield by 3 if Battle Mode if activated.
Sub Skills
Scouting: Hero receives +4 to his range of view and gets an ability to see precise number of creatures in neutral troops, in enemy armies, towns and garrisons within his range of view.
Pathfinding: Reduces penalty for moving through rough terrain by 50% and the hero will gain terrain bonus when moving on rough terrain, despite not beign ín the specific terrains faction.
Signposting: All caravans reach your towns one turns faster then normal and caravans now automatically gains some guards. The guards number depends on the population and the creatures rank on the town level of the city.
Lesser Sub-Skills
War Path: For each stack the hero defeats, movement speed points are increased temporary by 5%.
Windfightning: The hero and his troops gain +1 iniative.
Windwalking: The hero and his troops gain +1 speed (on Battle Mode hero gains speed).
Teleport Assault: Hero acquires Teleportation spell and he and his creatures increases the initiative of the creature being teleported by 50%. Same thing applies to creatures stepping through portals.
Luck 
Increases the chance that your creature will do a lucky strike, a attack with double damage. The higher luck the higher chance. For each point of Luck you gain 10% chance to trigger it. Luck can also be used to trigger usefull abilities more often, find more resourses and give the hero and his army a second chance on Ashan if they lose in a battle. Luck is capped at +5/-5. Each point of -luck increases the chance that bad luck will trigger by 10%.
At 0 luck the creature only has a 5% chance to get bad/good luck.
Simple Luck Increases luck of all creatures in hero's army by 1 and the heroes luck if Battle Mode is activated.
Medium Luck: Increases luck of all creatures in hero's army by 2 and the heroes luck if Battle Mode is activated.
Master Luck: Increases luck of all creatures in hero's army by 3 and the heroes luck if Battle Mode is activated.
Sub Skills
Warriors Luck: Guarantees that useful combat abilities of creatures in hero's army (like Horned Grunts' Horn Butt, for example) will trigger more often.
Fortune: In the course of adventures the hero tends to find more gold and resources and be more lucky overall.
Critical Strikes: Increases the damage of your lucky strikes by and additional 15%.
Lesser Sub-Skills
Unholy Luck: Decreases enemy luck by 1 permantly, and each time bad luck triggers the affected enemy creature gains a random curse depending on how much -luck points they have.
So if I the enemy gets bad luck (and they have -3 luck) then the a random Dark magic rank 3 curse would affect them. However if they only had -1 luck, then they would get a random level 1 curse.
Curses are always on basic mastery.
Spoils of War: From each victorious battle, the hero will salvage some gold and resources as spoils of war. The rescourses gained depends on the number of enemies.
Each enemy gives 1 gold, and each 50 enemy one random basic rescourse (wood and stone), each 75 enemy killed gives one metal and each 100 enemy killed gives one rare rescourse like Sulfur or Crystal.
In addition, each 10 enemy gives 1 food.
Sixth Sense: The hero is now a lot more likely to dig up the Tear of Asha or Blood of Urgash, for example in normal cases the hero must be on the exact spot of the grails location but now they can stand beside it and still be successful etc.
Second Chance: If Hero loses a battle then there is a 25% chance that a few creatures will survive it, making the hero be able to flee with zero mana. On Battle Mode the hero will have a 50% to survive a lost battle but none of his creatures and with zero mana.
Artifacts etc will still be lost in both cases.
Leadership 
Leadership boosts your armies morale and improves your tactics in combat. Leadership also boosts diplomacy with other races.
When morale triggers, the creature moves forward on the iniative bar.
Each point of Morale gives you a +10% chance for it to trigger. Morale is capped at +5/-5.
Each point of -morale increases the chance to trigger ad morale by 10%. 0 morale has both a 5% chance to gain both bad and good morale.
Morale decreases by -1 for every evil creature stack that joins a good hero and vice versa.
Simple Leadership Increases the Morale of your hero and army by 1.
Medium Leadership: Increases the Morale of your hero and army by 2.
Master Leadership: Increases the Morale of your hero and army by 3.
Sub Skills
Diplomacy: Increases chances and reduces costs of creatures that wish to join your army. In addition, this skill reduces the Morale loss when having mixed creatures by 1.
So lets say im a Knight and I have these creatures: x40 peasants, x70 Horned Grunts, x1 Devil and x3 Efreeti, then I would normaly gain a -3 morale. However with this skill it will only be a -2 morale loss instead of a -3.
Swift Combat: Increases the Iniative boost when morale triggers by 20%.
Tactics: Increases the area in which the hero can rearrange creatures before combat and all creatures gain +2 morale temporary on their first turns.
Lesser Sub-Skills
Glory: When morale is triggered, the damage of the creature or heroes next attack is increased by 15%.
Supreme Faith: Decreases enemy morale by 1 permantly, and each time bad morale triggers the affected enemy creature gains a random curse depending on how much -morale points they have.
So if I the enemy gets bad morale(and they have -3 morale) then the a random Dark magic rank 3 curse would affect them. However if they only had -1 morale, then they would get a random level 1 curse.
Curses are always on basic mastery in this case.
Blessed Morale: When morale triggers all curses, poisons etc are removed.
Empathy: Each time when the Morale effect is triggered with any of the creatures in the hero's army, the hero moves 10% percent forward along the ATB bar. (If the creature has a negative Morale effect, the hero is moved backwards).
Enlightenment 
Enlightenment increases your spell-based stats like Knowledge and Spellpower. Enlightenment also increases the experience you receive. Enlightenment can be used to teach other heroes new abilities, learn spells from your enemies and increase your mana.

Lesser Sub-Skills
Mentoring: When this hero meets another friendly hero, the latter gains as much experience as he or she needs to have his or her experience become equal to 15% of that of the mentor's (this is only effective if that hero has less experience originally).
Arcane Mind: Permantly increases Knowledge by 5%.
Arcane Soul: Permantly increases Spellpower by 5%.
Graduation: Increases spellpower and knowledge by 5% and grants the hero a free level up.

Expert Invisbility makes them invisible for 3 turns, and they cant move or do anything. So i dont think its overpowered.

Hypnotize = Puppet Master
Dark Magic will be able to rise demons from corpses (for example if 50 of your enemies archangels dies, then you can ressurect them as 50 Arch Devils).
Dark Magic will get that and frenzy for level 5 spell.
ALL SPELL SCHOOLS WILL COME IN ONE HOUR!

Yep, all with Face Backstab! ability. That is exactly what all players dream about - balance and logic.
Seriously, I believe there is not much sense in rearranging already given content basing random rules and adding very little own conent to the game.

Exactly. I know it's nice to have your won thred, but it suffers from lack of content atm.
I would like to see some resonable spells, though I doubt it they could make any sense placed in a void.

Why all the negative responses? Making your own game idea takes a lot of work, especially the spells. I know from experience. I'm making my own now... a word of advice to idea-makers: first get it ALL wrapped up, then post it.

I hope you understand that this is not complete and things may change. I will probably change the Urgash Call spell (ressurects enemies as demons on your side) a little bit.
Maybe so that 15/30/45% of the stack is ressurected as devils.
THE REAL THING WILL BEGIN AFTER THE ICTC IS COMPLETE.
I will start to show you the town from the last expansion, the Sanctuary, which is the town i enter the ICTC with.
But since that is compelte i will begin with Inferno (because i ****ing hate doing humans all the time).
The creature system looks like this.
1. Choose Creature 1-Upgrade OR Creature 2-Upgrade H4 style.
2. Creature-Upgrade/Alternate Upgrade H5 Style
3. Creature-Upgrade/Alternate Upgrade H5 Style
4. Choose Creature 1-Upgrade OR Creature 2-Upgrade H4 style.
5. Creature-Upgrade/Alternate Upgrade H5 Style
6. Choose Creature 1-Upgrade OR Creature 2-Upgrade H4 style.
7. Creature-Upgrade-Upgrades Upgrade H2 Dragon Style
8. Grail Creature, is not recruitable and will only appear when the enemy attacks a town with grail building in it.

That is something I can definitelly agree. As WoG has proven, we need level 8 creatures, especially to place them in some challenging scenario.

Campaign
The campaign is about the new continent of Eracion and about the Humans, Wood Elves and Dwarfs that all struggle to restablish new empires there and escape the demons wrath.
But not even in Eracion they can find peace.
Our journey starts in the shattred lands of Paleadra, the western part of the old world.
It all begun some time after Kha-Beleth entered the world and the demons almost destroyed the whole continent of Paledrea.
We start with a tutorial, not long before the humans left Paleadra.
Tutorial. The Ashes of Paledra
The humans of the shattered Holy Unicorn Empire have begun to regroup after their land was destroyed in flames.
Demons appear everywhere but the real threath to the Sovereigns Demon Lords are to the north and south, there the Wood Elves and Wizards still stands. Sareth must construct Hellgates to establish a defense and to get reinforcements from Inner Sheogh.
Althougt the humans to the west are weak, they are still a big threat with their divine allies, the Angels of Elrath.
Sareth needs to summon Hellgates and Hellcamps to the north and the south to build up a defense against the Wood Elven offensive to the north and the Wizard attackers to the south.
But when Sareth completed the consturction of these buildings a army of humans and angel were discovered by a Shade scout.
Sareth returned to his main base and begun to build up the town and recruit troops.
They win the battle against the humans and their sacred allies.
At the same time Wizards and Wood Elves attacks, led by King Findan and Magister Zehir.
Zehirs daugther Extrana also joins the battle.
Findan retreats to his forces and Kha-beleth says that he will be happy to burn there forests, its inhabitants and even their beloved dragon god Sylvanna.
Zehir dies in battle, but hurts Sareth very much.
Extrana cries but a Archmage teleport her away, saying that she is there only hope and that she cant die.
Zehir says to her before his death to gather the remains of the Silver Citíes and flee far away from Paleadra and to never forgot how important allies is and how important it is to help your allies.

/cry no comments 
If you post i will start on Inferno. Its really cool and will not be weak like in H5 (since H6 will be about Inferno, atleast in the expansion). Inferno is teh sex.
This is the order i will do the factions so far.
1. Inferno
2. Academy (they have arcane-powered spaceships that is not in space ;P )
3. Necropolis (their grail/guardian creature is the Grim Reaper itself)
4. Fortress, fortress is humans
Yes, my terrible ICTC sanctuary will be in this idea, but a little bit changed as i create other factions (to balance them) etc.
Humans can build walls, towers, garrisons, outposts and even a town on the map. Their racial skill is called Construction.
edit: dont you think the first expansions name, Prequel to Destruction is pretty kewl?
And the Builder creature will be replaced, instead humans racial skill will allow them to build on the map.
Similar to Age of Mythology, most human units can build stuff.
Conflux is the power cities were the Elementals gather to unite and merge together.
The Lizardmen have builded great Pyramids. They were in war with the Naga, who once used them as slaves.
The Lizardmen fled to the swamps and after many years their kingdom was completed. They have buildt Pyramids to show the Naga their power, to show "dont mess with us".
I stole this idea sorry.
When Asha batteld Urgash the powers between them was so strong that it opened a great rift in space.
The strangest creature begun to appear that.
After a long time they begun to construct planes to Ashan (they were connected with Ashan since Asha created it and Urgash has a strong connection to it).
Many yeats later some ventured out from Ashans solar system to explore new worlds and find new homes.
Those who stayed begun to come out of their created planes and explore Ashan. They created portals to Ashan.
But the portals strangely closed, making them trapped in Ashan.
They builded focus sites called the Nexuses to channel energies from the their distant planes. With enough energies they could maybe create a portal home again, but they stopped with these projects when they found themself in a war that would change the world forever.
And of course they just had to join and explore the races of Ashan, and because of their curiosity they have joined both the evil and good side.
The Coven is the place were the remaining and surviving Dark Elves lives and hides. Raelag abanoaded them with some other dark elves.
Led by 13 Witches how battle for power they seek venegance upon Raelag for leaving them and making them hid into these tiny places.
They will help both good and evil, just like any other mercenary faction.

Inferno
Our Unholy Crusade has only just begun... the Age of the Chaos Lords has only just begun.
Long ago there was the Void, from the void the entire universe would be birthed. Today space is still called the Void in planets like Ashan and other nearby worlds.
The void was a cosmic egg which would also birth the great Dragon of Order. When the egg hatched it exploded in energies.
This is called the Big Bang by us in this world.
But it would also give birth tothe later destructive Dragon of Chaos.
They were called Asha and Urgash.
These were very poweful beigns created by the explosion, by the energies that spread out after the explosion.
These twins would wage war on each other for thousands of years, but not in the begining. When these twins hatched from the cosmic egg, a great rift was created.
In some few hundreds these godlike dragons would be like siblings, always trying to be better then the others.
Then Urgash discovered this Great Rift and saw that it contained great power. Not knowing that the remains of the cosmic egg was chaos itself he drained chaotic powers from it.
But the energies corrupted him, making him very powerful but also became the source and father of all evil that would come on Ashan and the surroanding worlds.
He developed a hatred on almost all upcomming races but would be a wise evil overmind.
He started a war against Asha, showing that he was the ruler of the Void - of the universe, of everything that existed and ever would exist.
Asha was much weaker then him but understood his mistake. Instead draining its power she used some of its energies to create the world of Ashan, create the Elemental Dragons and throguh them create a army so that they one day together could defeat Asha.
Ashan was the first planet, others were born from the Rift later or created by other powerful beigns created from the egg or in other ways, often caused by this Rift.
A more detailed verison on the creation of the races of Ashan and Elemental Dragon Gods.
On Ashan the Elemental Dragons, avatars and incarnacations of Asha, creates the elder races to maintain peace and order on Ashan, but also to fight Urgash.
Urgash understood that time would pass, and her army would grow stronger under her protection.
The army grew faster than the number of races Urgash destroyed.
So to counter this he returned to the Great Rift, and since it was the source of the chaos energies from the very begining he used it to create a evil and twisted race.
The Demons.
Urgash legions of demons grows fast and soon he is ready to invade Ashas stronghold, the planet Ashan, to destroy her and crown himself to the King of the Void and of all that exists and will exist.
Asha doesnt win, but with the help of all the powers of the Elemental Dragons they jail him withing the very core of Ashan.
As said before Ashan was created by energies from the Rift.
Of course chaos energies from it could not be resisted and gathered in the inner parts of the planet.
These chaos energies makes the cores of all planets created or affected by energies from the Great Rift.
Because of the energies in the the core, Urgash gathers powers and is able to summon and unleash demons to Ashan.
He infuses six demons with enourmous power.
The Six Sovereigns of Chaos.
These will rule over the demons untill Urgash is released to spread destruction over the universe.
Urgash created them to counter Ashas Elemental Dragons, he had learnt from his mistakes.
A new generations of demons was born.
The Demons of Sheogh under the rule of the incarnactions and avatars of Urgash, the Sovereigns.
Six Lords to rule them all, Six Lords to find them, Six Lords to bring them all and in chaos destroy them.
The Sovereigns battled for power.
All were not present, like the Sovereing of Zoc-beleth who went to the Great Rift for unknown reasons, but under the command of Urgash.
All the Soveregins were then ruled by one single Sovereing called Kha-beleth.
Atleast one Sovereign died.
The armies of Urgash are much more active then the old armies of Asha, her Elemental Dragons sleeps, the Chaos Sovereigns
Demons begin to establish settlements in the dark corners of Asha, preparing a invasion.
But Asha has chosen a man of great knowledge and power, he will become the first Avatar.
Together with his mysterious disciples they seal the demons away.
But something went wrong... a unknown force far away from Ashan makes them be able to enter each lunar eclipse.
Its unknown who caused it, i know of course and you can guess.
Time passes and the demons fail to invade.
Instead they have a long break.
These age will be known as the White Age, a age of peace.
But then the demons are ready to strike and Queen Isabels War starts, they are now more prepared then ever.
Kha-beleth sends his top agent Biara to do most of the job.
Later a prophecy comes true.
A man called Sareth is the son of Queen Isabel and Kha-beleth.
He is the Dark Messiah and unleashes all demons to Ashan and hos father Kha-beleth.
In a terrible explosion the lands of western Palaeadra caused by the dark messiah Sareth and Kha-beleth the continent, is shattered and now looks like the outher demon kingdom of Sheogh.
Sareth will begin training from Urgash and the Sovereigns and be called "the Living Apocalypse".
The Age of the Chaos Lords begíns and its time for the Sovereigns wait to perish. Now its time to seal the fate of Ashan.
Now its time for the Infernal Apocalypso.
With the invasions of demons and the destruction of Paleadra the races there are forced to flee east or over the sea.
All races except orcs, some dwarfs and undead flee.
The plans of Urgash and his long planned projects begins.
Never has Ashan been so devastated.
The War between Order and Chaos contiunes, the war between Order and Chaos.
You decide what side that wins...
Ashans fate lies in your computer...
The Cosmic Egg hatching aka the Big Bang.
Basic Information. Inferno
Aka: The Demons - Spawn of Chaos
Worships: Urgash, the dragon of chaos. Some secretly worship Malassa - the Dragon of Darkness and Mother of Shadows.
Racial Colors: Red, Black, Dark Gray - Blood/War, Chaos/Space/Awakening, Destroyer of Hope/Bringer of Sorrow
Racial Symbols: The Black Pentagram - Pattern of the Rift
Motto: "Gods shall kneel before you."
Race Description: Demons of all speices and sub-races. But also cultists of almost all races except demons, orcs and elves.
Most cultists are dark elves closly followed by humans.
Where: Under the earth but also in the current destoyed Paleadra and they have settlements around the world, mostly in great caverns. Around 10-13% of all demons were in Paleadra when HoMM6 started.
Country/Empire: Outer and Inner Sheogh and the in the core of the planet called the Burning Heart, but technically they also own western Paleadra now.
Capital: Ur-Hekal, Gate of the Burning Heart.
Leader: Urgash and the Six Sovereigns.
Friends: Dark Citadel, Hive
Neutral: Necropolis, Palace
Suspicious: Academy, Sanctuary
Enemies: Stronghold, Fortress, Grove, Rampart, Sanctuary
Might Hero: Demon Lord
Magic Hero: Heretic
Good, Neutral or Evil: Very, very, very, very evil.
Magic School: Dark & Destruction.
Native Terrian: Ravaged Terrain
When Inferno creatures fight on destroyed terrian they get 1+ iniative and speed and number of gated creatures increased by 15%.
Relations
Inferno have very few good relations and the few they have they exploit and often betrayd or just use them as tools.
They are enemies of almost all factions loyal to Asha and the Elemental Dragons and swear to destroy them.
Grove
The Wood Elves are now mostly led by druids which has led them even closer to the Elemental Dragons and Sylvanna.
Wood Elves sees them self as protectors of Ashan but do not like war. The Sovereigns agreed that they are a very annoying race and that there leader Findan deserves to be totured for all eternity, in silence of course.
The Wood Elves have become close friends to the creatures of Eracion, the new world.
Thus they must be destroyed before they become a threat and so must there dragon godess be.
Rampart
Orcs!
Some of the top enemies of all demons!
They are demon hunters and stupid barbarians without brains... but they are still strong and deserve to be exterminated after all that they have done...
Fourtanly, it is easy to kill a race that thinks like a 3-year old human.
Stronghold
Like the elfs these are favored by the dragons and are guardians of Arkath, and was once the jailors of demons.
Without them the demons would have burned Ashan to ashes long ago... death is not enough for their race... when they die they shall get no rest at their beloved dragon god.
Foolish dwarves... does not even know what there god really is.
Palace
The Nagas have shown signs of hate against demons but they hide withing the ocean depths so not much is known about them.
Succubus and Incubus agents and cultists has been sendt to spy at them, and see what they do.
But after beign untouched for years, they might be a very powerful empire.
Fortress
Humans... dumber then orcs perhaps but very usefull.
It is them who are the reason for Ashans destruction which is good. But in the new continent their strenght grow up and they will be more ready then ever.
It will no longer work to use them as slaves, minions and tools.
Academy
Their leader Extrana is very dispressed.
The Sovereigs doesnt mind about the Academy.
Now on the mountain peaks of the north pole they can watch as their leader passes away and the world is destroyed and how they will be next. They are no threat at all.
Necropolis
With a new leader Necropolis have changed attitude.
Now united under a vampire lord they serve under Urgash. But you can never trust the dead.
Full of lies and mysteries you never know what they will do next. Even through it looks like the work under Urgash it can be in another way. We must keep an eye on them.
Dark Citadel
Faceless... we helped them to destroy the dark elven scum and now they will aid us in the apocalypse.
Perhaps the most intillgent creatures in Ashan we cant lose this alliance. But it will be hard to convince them about Malassa...
Insectoids
There leaders are controlled by us know. The gigantic swarm will soon be unleashed. Lets hope that there wise Queens and Overminds doesnt betrayd us... but then we shall burn the scales and drown them in their own desert.
If they betrayd us then the very sands of time they live in shall make them perish to exist.
Sanctuary
We dont know much about this faction... rumors say that Asha leads them. We shall see what this faction real are and does.
If the rumors are true, then we just got a strong enemy.
Then we atlast got a challenge...
In War and Peace
Inferno never have peace. They always prepare and do something.
Not much to say here. They are always in war in one way or another.
Inferno Creatures Info
Infenro creatures deals lots of damage in combat and doesnt survive much better then most other factions.
Althogut they deal amazing damage they are very, very slow.
Inferno troops doesnt cost very low or very high and have a moderate income of troops.
Inferno has cannon fodder/minor tank, a weak creature with good abilities, a shooter and damage dealer early.
Then they get another shooter or a melee caster that can fly and have a instant kill ability.
Later they get Incubuses and Succubuses who deal insane damage and can change the tide of the battle with "rape male/female" ability and "become homosexual/lesbian" ability.
After that they get heavy tank creature and a really fast good damage dealer.
In the end they get a very good creature which teleports, summons creatures to the battlefield and just pwns.

Comment: A rather nice creature, Grunts and their upgrades can help you protect Acolytes/Cultists/Demoniacs and when the enemy reaches your shooters they can activate Infernal Rage and slay them, but if you plan to use them as tanks, then upgrade them.

A old Horned Grunt, notice the horns. He looks angry... or horny...
Lv1 Walker. Imp
Imps are very small demonic creatures who live in small caves and holes in Sheogh. The holes and small caves are full of treasures and magical artifacts they have stolen.
Due there size they make excellent thieves, stealing gold from their enemies and eats mana from wizards restoring health.

Comment: Same as Imps but you can siphon mana to your tier 2 casters and tier 4 casters if you choose them.
You can do a great combo with these Efreets and Cultists and Pit Lord for tanking. Imps are more for end-game and grunts for early game.
Fourtanly, you can later swamp Grunts to Imps if you want to.

Lv2 Caster/Shooter. Acolyte
There has always been followers of chaos and demons, but never as many as now. Acolytes are followers of demons and not true members of the cults. People who have just started to worship demons becomes Acolytes. Many Acolytes are people who dont have a choice.
The life of the Acolyte is hard before he can become a true cultists. Sacrificing his friends and family, drinking blood, eating flesh, raping small girls, toture himself, burn himself and lots of other things. Acolyte look more dead then living.
On the battlefield they cast basic spells and sacrifices their allies - and themself.

Acolytes are followers of darkness, chaos and desturction. They look more like they belong to the Necropolis then Inferno.
Comment: Good for creeping. Spam Blackout while you cast Corrupt, Horned Grunts will help you even more with their stun ability. Unlike in H5 this makes creeping easy without war machines. But for even better creature, look at their upgrade, which can restore mana.
Acolyte Upgrade. Cultist
Cultists are true members of the demon cults. Only heretics - their leaders, know more about chaos magic then them.
Cultists can gather life energy from enemies to sustain their own life energy (or soul).
Cultists can cast powerful spells of fire and desturction on the battlefield.

Advanced Flame Arrow: Sends a arrow of fire at a enemy creature, causing moderate direct fire damage.
7 Mana.
Comment: Great for creeping.
Creeping tactic:
1. Buy a secondary hero with many useless creatures.
2. Transfer them to your creature.
3. Get Horned Grunts and Cultists.
4. Fight.
5. Split Cultists into many stacks, protect them by Horned Grunts.
6. Cast Blackout and then cast flame arrow/corrupt. Sacrifice your useless but many troops from the secondary hero for mana. Repeat.
Blackout will keep the enemies out of your shooters and Horned Grunts Horn Butt helps even more.
You should be able to defeat almost any creature that is not a shooter or caster.
You can also use imps to restore mana, but i think it would be smarter with the grunts for early game.
Acolyte Alternate Upgrade. Demoniac
Demoniacs can be many kinds of creature, but they are all half demon but still not orc, like Sareth.
One kind of demoniacs are cultists who have transformed into a demonic shape.
Others are demons who have mated humans or other humanoid creatures. Sareth is the leader of the demoniacs. Demoniacs loses the power to cast more powerful spell but instead they can perform a chain fire attack, inspired from the spell succubusses used in the last war.

This is ability you need to click to activate. When you have attacked a creature once you can focus on it next turn by clicking on the unlocked button for the ability. Can only change focused creature two times a battle when focusing on another creature.
Comments: The stats of the Orthus sucks but it has a really good special. Use this to counter shooters, they can do their Unedning Hunt on them so that they cannot flee or shoot. It has great abilities but stats suck. You choose between the one with good stats and the one with good abilities.
A Orthus. Looks hungry doesnt he...
Lv4 Shooter. Demolisher
Demolishers are destructive mechanical killing machines who bring nothing else then destruction. Demolishers are large cannons which are mostly used to turn enemy cities into ashes.

Lv4 Flyer. Shade
When the Demons toture people they dont let them rest in peace when they die. Instead they rip out the souls of the victims and infuses them with fiery chaos magic. When this is done, they become Shades.
Forever lost spirits of the underworld. Shades are enslaved by demonic sorcerors because of their powerful ability to infuse death at their enemies at the cost of their life.
Of course the demon lords and heretics control these creatures so that they cant kill themself if they wish.
Shades are no dead bodies, just twisted fallen souls infused by chaos magic so they are not considered undead.

Death Touch: This creature can instantly kill enemies at the cost of its own life. Each shade destroys 0,3% of the attacked stack at the cost of its own stack. Does not affect tier 8 creatures.
For example: I have 50 Shades. The enemy has 150 Archangels. I use the death touch ability on the archangels. 15 Archangels die at the cost of 50 Shades.
Fire Shield: This creature is always affected by the advanced "fire shield" spell.
Cant be dispelled and will always be there.
Comment: Shades are great when fightning high tier creatures. If you have summoning magic then you can do the Mist Warriors spell on them, doubling the amount of Shades you will have.
They dont survive veyr well however and are expensive.
I suggest you to upgrade into Efreeti, they have the caster ability and can be used for not only sucide missions. Shades are also very fast creatures.
Two bodies has been riped from the peace of death by a evil demon lord or heretic. No they are nothing but useless, enslaved and lost souls, bound to walk on Ashan for all eternity.
Shade Upgrade. Efreet
Unlike Shades, Efreets are only ripped out from corpses of demons or creatures of chaos and fire. The fiery souls of those are not converted into shades, but Efreets.
Demon are born of chaos and so are their souls. Efreets are the demons shades. The Sovereign has turned fallen or failed lietuants into Efreets as punishment. One of those is Biara who is now one of them. You could say that Efreets are the demon liches, just as the Genies are the wizard liches.
Efreets still master the arts of chaos and use destruction spells to destroy their enemies.
Unlike Shades, Efreets are not lost souls but intillgent souls. Some of them are even proud of serving the chaos lords ones again.
Many old Inferno leaders are now Efreets and demon cultists are said to be able to transform themself to Efreets when they die.

Expert Flame Orb: Creates a orb of fire inside a enemy creatures corpse. The Flame Orbs damage increases by 6% for each turn untill the caster releases it and it explodes.
The Flame Orb will automaticaly explode if not released after 3 turns. 7 Mana.
Comment: Efreets pair rather good with Infenros tier 2 shooters and casters. They can create rings and walls of fire to protect them. The Efreet has mostly updated defensive stats.
It can cast some average spells. With Sorcery and/or Arcane magic they can almost cast inifine amount of Shadowfire to kill good monsters. Flame Orbs are also very nice as the damage & improves with the number of creatures.
Lv5 Walker. Gog
Gogs are the most intilligent demons and most humanoid ones. Many Demon Lords are Gogs. They are tall and wear a whip made of chains because they are seducers and agents of the Inferno faction. Some Gogs are even sexslaves, and they enjoy it.
Gogs like to shred their victims in sex, toture and melee combat and can almost always reach those they want to reach with their long whips they use for combat and sex.

Abilities: Seduce, Whip Pull, Shred
Growth: 3
Cost: 506g
Element: Fire
Seduce: Once per combat this creature is able to gain control over any enemy creature. The ability's duration depends on the difference in power between the creatures and their victims, ranging from 4 turns (target is four times as weak as the creature) to the point where it can't be used (target is four times as strong as the creature). The creatures' initiative ATB value does not increase for the time of the effect's duration.
Mind control immunity or something like that cant protect against seduce. Because they dont seduce them throguh their mind, but with their bodies.
Whip Pull: Three times per battle this creature can pull a target two tiles closer to it and then attack it without suffering retailation if the creature is pulled next to the creature.
The enemy creature can at maxiumal be pulled from three tiles, but if pulled from three tiles away then it will not stand next to creature and there will be now free no enemy retailation attack.
Shred: This creture shreds enemies in melee combat, making them bleed. Bleed causes them to take damage for two turns.
Healing spells like "Heal", "Health Regenration" and "Guardien Angel" removes the bleeding effect.
Damage dealt each turn is 15% of the casters normal damage.
Comment: A very nice offensive creature. With more iniative it would be perfect. Seduce can turn the tide of the battle.
You can protect them with Pit fiends so that enemies dont kill them and interupt their seductions.
The upgrades completly depends on your play style. If you want a offensive melee creature then choose the mighty Succubi and if you want a more slow casting creature then choose the Incubi.
Gog Upgrade. Succubus
The Sucubbi are female gogs who are lovers of the Sovereigns and agents of them. They have seduced many of their enemies leaders so that they can control and shatter their kingdoms. But seduction is not their speciality. Its toture and fightning.
They tear apart enemy corpses with their mighty swords and their joy for battle is so good that they will strike twice sometimes.
A Succubus is not to play with, neither in bed or in combat.

Battle Joy: This creature has a 25% chance to strike twice.
Comment: These hot naked chicks wearing only chains are one of Infernos best offensive creatures after Nightmares (devils are a little bit defensive).
The strike twice ability is excellent in combo with Shred.
This means you can get double Shred, which means double duration.
They are not very defensive however.
As i said before, depends on your playstyle if you choose the hot male supermodel gay pornstar Incubuses or these flamming Paris Hiltons.
A Succubus performing seduce to a strong Demon Lord. Its hard to have sex with chains and weapons, however when most Succubi have sex, they kill their partners for some reason.
Gog Alternate Upgrade. Incubus
The Incubi are male gogs who are loyal sefvants of Urgash. The Incubis attacks are dark and twisted and he prefers to seduce people then battle them. These naked hunks makes all the girls and boys dieing of orgasm.

Comments: Survives better then the succubus but deals far less damage. In addtion to the damag over time abilitiy it also casts a dark magic spell on advanced mastery EVERY time it attacks. SA tip is to use these in late game when you have many of them. Then you split them into many stacks and you get many, but powerful, seduces.
Lv6 Tank. Pit Fiend
From the deepest parts of the world hails the Pit Fiends. These enorumous demons are the some of the toughest ones.
Pit Fiends dont like light, and therefore there only weakness is against light magic. They can bury themself, increasing their toughness even more.

Vulnerable to Light: This creature is immune against light magic blessings and takes 50% extra damage from light magic spells.
Comment: With bury this makes perfect creatures for tanking. There only weakness is that they suffer a lot of damage from light magic. They are rather cheap too, but slow.
If you want something really offensive, then take the Hell Stallions. If you have Arcane magic then you can cast spells on them to reflect and counter light magic spells.
Oh, and they look awesome!
Pit Fiend Upgrade. Abyssal Lord
The lords of the underworld and the abyss are the Abyssal Lords. Not anyone knowm in history has survived their mighty blow because their blades are enchanted by the very flames of Urgash and the Burning Heart itself...

Comment: Great creatures! Again, iniative is low but that doesnt matter because they are tanks. Not even tier 7s can crush these tanks.
Think it like this.
1. 10 Abyssal Lords.
2. 5 Green Dragons attack.
3. Retailation, Hellforged Blade kills 4 Green Dragons and the Abyssal Lords 1!
4. Lol easy win.
A Abyssal Lords shouting over its triumph. Notice that their wings have burned down because of the heat in the Burning Heart (the core of Ashan and Urgash prison).
Lv6 Walker. Hell Stallion
The Slepiners where the orginal breed of horses. They lived far below the earth in a peaceful life - that would soon be shattred to pieces. The demons came. They enslaved the Slepiner horses as mounts and war creatures. The slepiners had many legs, but with the demons corruption and toture on them those extra legs faded away.
The Slepiners was changed. They had turned into something diffrent, something terryfing.
The Hell Stallions. These creatures would ride over the broken plains of Paleadra only to spread chaos and fear.
Some say that there are slepiners who survived, other says that the whole breed of Slepiners were destroyed.

Cavalry is a new type of creature in HoMM6.
Frightening Attack: When this creature attacks there is 33,33% chance that it will fear the target.
If this triggers then the creature will not be able to retailate because he will be frightened and run instead.
The amount of tiles the enemy creature runs are based on the number of creatures.
Comment: A very fast creature. Its upgrade is Infernos fastest creature, with a speed of 7 and iniative of 13.
Cavalry boosts damage even more so be careful about these, because they only thing that saves them from death is the Frightening Attack ability because it breaks retailation from enemies.
Buff them well or curse the enemies much, because you dont want to lose these.
A Hell Stallion of Sheogh. Notice how the skin has cracked, he was probably one of the first mutated Slepiners.
Hell Stallion Upgrade. Infernal Nightmare
The best and mightiest of the Slepihners were brutally transformed and mutated. Demons happily ripped out their skin so their blood splashed out and replaced the skin with infernal armour.
They also set fire in their blood. They look terryifying and human parents always say that the children should be nice or their horse would turn into a Infernal Nightmare and take them to Sheogh.
The terrifying and fiery look gives them the name Infernal Nightmare and they are probably the scariest thing you can see in Ashan.
Think yourself. You are in a forest. Its night and it rains. Suddenly you hear a terrifying bear. First you think its a bear but then you see the red glowing eýes in the dark and those mutated and broken horses charge at you.

In addition, all enemies around it will run to the next tile when this creature attacks a enemy creature.
Comment: This is the real big army killer for Inferno. They charge into the enemy army first in the battle, kill all the attacked creatures because of the cavalry bonus and then fear away all other creatures and repeat. However these creatures are really, really expensive but really, really great if you are not in a great need of tanks. Just remember, keep them alive!
A Infernal fiery Nightmare. Look at the head, you can almost see that there is only bones there, that the skin has been burned away long ago.

Captainship: All creatures in heroes army gain +1 attack, defense and morale.
Comment: Devils have a extermly good balance between defense and super offense. But they are however some of the expensivest creatures in game, so you better have good economy if you plan to spam recruit these powerful monsters! Only problem is iniative, but with Elemental Magic you can fix that.
Devil Upgrade. Archdevil
Even more poweful then the devils, Archdevils are champions of the Sovereigns. These are so feared on the battlefield that anyone would be willing to help them fight if they save their lives.
Only Hell Tyrants are stronger then Archdevils in brute force.
Attack: 33
Defense: 30
Damage: 66-86
Initiative: 8
Speed: 6
Hit Points: 210
Mana: N/A
Shots: N/A
Abilities: Large Creature, Teleport, Captainship, Enslave
Growth: 1
Cost: 4666g 2 Sulfur
Element: Fire
Enslave: Two times per battle this creature can enslave any creature that is not immune to mind spells and grail creatures. The number of turns enslaved depends on the number of creatures.
Comment: Same as the devils these are great but a little bit slow. Free hypnotize is great and you can enslave two creatures at a time. Think like this.
You seduce one creature, enslave two others, and many, many others if you split up in stacks. Now the enemies army is shattered and it will destroy itself. But do you have the rescourses to build these monsters? They cost like the average tier 7 third upgradde creature.
Arch Devil Upgrade. Hell Tyrant
Hell Tyrants does not wish to serve the Sovereigns. In their eyes they are weak mindless fools who are responsible for the failure of the demons previous invasions. They only serve Urgash and are able to summon his elite troops ot the battlefield.
Hell Tyrants are the sons and champions of Urgash and almost no other creature are stronger then them.
Attack: 36
Defense: 33
Damage: 66-96
Initiative: 9
Speed: 6
Hit Points: 210
Mana: N/A
Shots: N/A
Abilities: Large Creature, Teleport, Captainship, Enslave, Gather the Hordes
Growth: 1
Cost: 5666g 3 Sulfur
Element: Fire
Gather the Hordes: This creature can summon creatures from your towns and heroes for free once per battle.
Comment: Not the greatest health in HoMM6, but the greatest damage of all recruitable town creatures. Save this for a hard battle. Because if your about to lose, then summon reinforcements from your towns and heroes.
They have improved iniative by 1 but it doesnt help much, you better have elemental magic if you want to use these without seeing them die before they can act.
Taken from Wc3: The Frozen Throne expansion. Illidan meets Kil'Jaeden because Illidan failed to destroy the Lich King and now Kil'Jaeden has found his hiding place and is really pissed.
Doesnt he look like Kha-beleth?
I bet Nival/Ubisoft copied Kha-beleth from Kil'Jaeden like everything else they copied from Blizzard!
Grail Creature. Incarnation of Urgash
A gigantic demon dragon with seven heads and lots of crowns and horns.
Attack: 46
Defense: 36
Damage: 366-1666
Initiative: 8
Speed: 5
Hit Points: 16.666
Mana: N/A
Shots: N/A
Abilities: Huge Creature, Seven-Headed Attack, Fire Breath, Flyer, Apocalypse, Aura of the Doom God
Cost: Free. Only appears during siege if you have turned in the Blood of Urgash.
Element: Magma
Seven-Headed Attack: This creature attacks seven targets at the same time. Attacks friends too.
Fire Breath: When this creature attacks it doesnt only attack the first creature but also the creature behind it fire damage.
Apocalypse: This creature can perform the Armegeddon spell on expert mastery two times per battle and summons 5 Hell Tyrants when it uses armegeddon spell.
Heroes spellpower scales with this creatures spell, making it even more powerful.
Aura of Doomsday: All demonic creatures in heroes army gain immunity to fire and magma damage.
Comment: A very slow but strong creature. Weak stats but excellent ability. Apocalypse ability is very powerful.
And he does seven fire breaths when he attacks. The aura makes your creatures immune to Apocalypse ability and his seven-headed attack.
Remember all grail creatures are immune to mind control and can only be used during a siege for one town.
Buff him well.
Racial Battle Ship. Hellburner
Hellburners are the mighty warships of the demon commanders. They are not very tough but deal enormous damage and shoots fire from Sheogh at their enemies. Hellburners explode when they díe making it pointless for enemies to destroy them. Hellburners doesnt work in group often and lacks to ability to combine itself with other ships.
Attack: 45
Defense: 10
Health: 4.000
Damage: 1000-2000
Shots: Unlimited
Space: This boat can carry 3 stacks of creatures, up to 20 creatures per stack.
Cost: 4000g 10 Wood 30 Mercury 5 Sulfur
Construction: 1 per week can be contsturcted. Takes seven turns.
Iniative: 10. Please not that iniative on boats are only used in combat! Its their weapons who have the iniative thing.
Upgrade Cost: N/A
Abilities: Hellfire, Explosive, Guard Ships
Hellfire: When this ship attacks the enemies ship or boat will begin to burn, taking 5% of the users normal damage for two turns.
Explosive: This ship explodes if destroyed, dealing double damage to the enemies ship when it sinks.
Guard Ships: This boat can guard other ships from enemy attacks. A ship can be guarded by two ships.
Comments: Hellburners strenght lies in combat. When it is destroyed, all crew die and it cant be restored. Upgrade Hellburners through the Admirals skill well, because otherwise they may just die all the time. Hellfire is a nice bonus.
If you want ships to take sucide missions, then get the "Disguised Boats" skill from the Admiral.

Thanks!
I really thought Prequel to Destruction was a excellent expansion name myself
Because it really tells you what will happen in the expansion and what the last expansion will be about (total destruction).
In Prequel to Destruction the Demons have discovered a race of Insectoids to the south and taken control over them.
They use them to invade the new continent and to destroy the orcs, just to make it a lot more easier for the demon to find and destroy their real enemies, Asha and the Elemental Dragons.
But they also dont want to get disturbed when they try to release Urgash.
I added Elemental Magic, only the new complete adventure magic school to go, which will have a much larger role in my H6.
I have begun on Inferno as you can see.
You can find creatures on faction page.
At the same time im doing H6 changes on main page, i will begin on Population and the two new rescourses.
I changed creature line-ups.
Added town types, population, food and sackable and destructable towns.
Please say what you think.
I like critic, then you know what you need to improve.
Thats what i lacked in the ICTC and made me fail, i got no critic at all, no comments or anything.
No one said that i should change anything which led it to be one of my worst factions (Pyramid is my best faction, see bonus faction competition).
-----------------------
Inferno history and some other stuff added there.
I will begin on Inferno creatures soon.
