Group 1:
Knight H2: Gotta love the paladin. IMHO one of the best human Incarnation faction in the series
Haven H5: Nice architecture, good racial skill

Group 2:
Barbarian H1: Simply love the atmosphere as how much I miss the creature visible at their dwelling, hopes they did so in H6, with 2D town screen and beautifully pre-rendered animation of the town screen.
Stronghold H5: Unique play style, unique creature ability sometimes you wonder why Nival didn't make the other factions as unique as they made H5's Stronghold is.

Group 3:
Sorceress H2: They have the best Phoenix (IMHO the signature creature of the series in par with Blackie) up to the 5th of the series, the fairy tales atmosphere is so great.
Rampart H3: The town themes on H3 Rampart not to consider the music including the breathtaking atmosphere of the town that really fit well with the music. Rampart is the winner for me.

Group 4:
Warlock H2: Simply has the best design of Black Dragon design to date. Good castle town screen and atmospheric capture the idea of Warlock.
Dungeon H3: Second the best Black Dragon design (art wise) of the series which IMHO the signature creature of the series in par with Phoenix. Great town atmosphere.

Group 5:
Tower H3: Got the best creature design.
Academy H5: Floating town, gotta love the rendered floating town.

Group 6:
Necromancer H2: Vampire with "Bla!"
Necropolis H3: Dead Knight, my best favorite creature. Not to mention the Necromancy in H3 that works wonder.

Group 7:
Fortress H3: Love the Aztec style of the town, not to mention the big bad moo2. It also have the best Hydra design of the series IMHO.
Inferno H5: One of the best in-game racial skill: Gating. Great design on the Pit Fiend and Pit Lord.

H3 really did rock with all factions.

best of all groups:

All time best look-a-like is H5's Academy .. Stunning looks, desert arabic theme is awesome, and the city is flyinh in the air which also is a fantastic idea ;p

All time best town besides look is H3's Rampart.. The set up is a great mix of mythic creatures. The town works fine alltogether, so i'd say best town ever..

All time favorite town in my opinion: Because i love graphics, and mythic creatures i'd say that H5's Haven.

I'm really pleased to see quite a lot of people choosing H3 Fortress, and hopefully more will go with H3 Conflux as well

Btw. I also think the H5 Academy works out great with the desert theme, but the H3 and even H4 were very climatic with the snow, I like both (I hope that in H6, Academy will be back to snow again, but in order not to waste the desert theme and beautiful architecture, maybe another town could be there? Conflux? Since in H3 it had similar look to H5 Academy, plus it would bring back Elementals and Phoenixes into being recruitable (not some crappy neutrals that you see once in a lifetime on the map, and cannot have it in your army ) and thing of a new low level creature, since the Sprite is with Sylvan now.

So, late enough, I declare the end of round 1 and give you the winners of each group.

Group 1:

Very clear which two castles are wanted to continue...

Castle H3 - 11
Haven H5 - 10

Group 2:

A clear match, the two winners are high above the two losing towns.

Barbarian H2 - 9
Stronghold H3 - 11

Group 3:

A close thing, all combatants, except H1, got between 5 and 8 points...not a big range. However the best are:


Rampart H3 - 8
Sylvan H5 - 7

Group 4:

Quite a good winner, though the second palce was a close race.

Dungeon H3 - 10
Dungeon H5 - 7

Group 5:

The first place is unreached, and the weakest far off...but what's that?! We have no decision for a 2nd place O.O. We'll handle this lower in this post

Tower H3 - 11
Conflux H3 - 5
Academy H5 - 5

Group 6:

Obious loosers and winners - most votes went to two of the towns^^

Necropolis H3 - 12
Necropolis H5 - 9

Group 7:

Again, quite a united choice...H3 wins over H5

Inferno H3 - 10
Fortress H3 - 12

The best Third places:

Well, for some, it was really close...who was still great enough to continue? .... LOOOK:

Sorceress H2 - 6
Warlock H2 - 6


So, before we can go on to round two, we need to know who will come with us...
...in the left corner, in many colors, summoned from other planes, hot and cold, solid and changing, the elemental teeeeeeeam
CONFLUX
...and in the right corner our Arabian-looking friends, multicultural, magical and Knowledgefull. Teeeeeeeeeam
ACADEMY
^^

So, it is really simple. You have 24 hours time to vote who of them is better...conflux or academy. Simply post the one you want to go on. If it is drawn between them again, after the deadline, the continuer will be chosen randomly (I'll roll a dice^^)

So, people, gimme your votes for round 1 3/4

Academy

Conflux is pretty cool, but somehow it feels way to incomplete. Elementals sure nice idea, but they are not put together well enough to be as good as the H5 Academy faction-wise

Ugh, I hated the H5 Academy (except for the Rakshasa which was likje the most awesome creature in the game) and when I was like 5 years old, I always thought Conflux was the best and by far most awesome faction in the game.

So I vote for Conflux.

I vote for CONFLUX

Even though I liked the H5 Academy, Rakshasa Rajas were REALLY greatly designed. The town also had a unique and beautiful architecture, much like the H3 Conflux anyway...however, the Academy lineup remained pretty much unchanged throughout HOMMs, so at least one is going through already(H3 Tower) therefore the second place should be offered to Conflux, which is one of a kind Both are good, but in the end I vote for Conflux. H5 Academy's incarnation from H3 is going through anyways.

Conflux! Some people may have not liked it, but I absolutely LOVED the art style; so beautiful and peaceful. All of the units looked amazing.
I also really disliked several of the Academy units, the Genie and Gargoyle in particular.
So I have to go with Conflux.

academy

agreed with most winners, though I'm not sure how H2 sorceress doesn't beat H5 sylvan, phoenix were great.

also, I thought life H4 was better than castle H3, better creature abilities, better balance.
