New Fortress
Back in HoMM III, the fortress contained Lizardmen and gnolls. Now in HoMM V, It's all dwarves and magma dragons. If the HoMM III fortress was reintroduced, what would it be called, and What new units should be added?

Another Dwarf hater... Create a mod or send a letter to Nival so they will maybe edit it for you... or face the fact that the name doesnt oblige to anything. Its just a name. And HoMM5 Fortress is totally different faction in terms of racial affiliation. HoMM will have yours Lizardmen, be patient.
But they wont replace dwarfs...I hope...

when you mess with dwarves... you mess with the midget ninja
but still i liked lizards and gnols i think they are exceptionally creative
maybe the faction "Fallen Fortress" would sound better

Maybe a name with 'Swamp' in it?
And as creatures something like 'Gnoll slingerers' or 'Lizardspearmans' and Chariots pulled by Gorgons.

IDK, Swamp tends to have a negative annotation to it, and I doubt ubi would make a castle to have people not play it.

Back in H3 Sylvan was called Rampart (meaning an embankment built for defensive purposes), which would, I feel, be a much better name for a jungle/swamp faction. I also disagree with putting the Gnolls back in there, I mean they're half hyena (Spotted usually, but sometimes one of the other subspecies, and I've seen the occasional half Painted Wolf) for heaven's sake, they don't belong in a swamp any more than an orc does.

nevertheless they did fit in there. I mean, HOMM doesn't need to follow some mainstream fantasy idea. The original and special universes are mostly the best.

So you're advocating a return of the dwarves to Sylvan, because that's where they spent H1-3, besides, you've seen how they do it in H5, one major 'race' to a town, and the lizardmen represent the major race here. On top of that, everything else in the town is scaly rather than furry, making the gnoll stick out like a sore thumb.

i agree if fallen fortress becomes the new name. Then it will serve the purpose for being able to build the fortifications.
and as for gnoll slingers i like the idea better that lizard bowmen.
but lizzards should stay in.
hmmm i thought i remember a piece of a campaign in h3 where a soldier tries to ride the mighty gorgon and the woman in charge recalls it something like "One of the men had tried to ride the mighty gorgon"
but i have not played it in a long time
although gorgon chariots do sound cool

The Gorgon is another point of contention. Gorgons were traditionally similar to Medusa (Medusa was in fact one of the Gorgon sisters), not the giant bulls of D&D (which are similar to the Khalkotauroi or Catoblepas of Greek mythology). Similar actions were taken with the Lamia and Basilisk, and a little with the Kobold.

yes i am . I surely think dwarves would do better as a minor faction. I actually don't think major factions(besides humans) should exist. No race for any faction. I would like to see "the old fortress" to become just as gnollish as lizardish.

maybe if you made the gnolls and lizard men alternate upgrades you could have a bit of both in your army like make it a split faction.
a third is inhabited by gnolls
a third is inhabited by lizzards
a third is inhabited by swamp creatures(dragon fly, basilisk etc.)
