Mythology factions
What if factions weren't based on races like humans, demons, undeads, elves, dwarves, elementals etc, but instead to be categorized by mythology like greek, egyptian, aztec, norse, asian etc ?
What do you say, if you like this or not, and why you do or don't.

ok, let me first say that I did something similar to this. link here. It's a low fantasy world with a lot of the factions easily recognisable as particular cultures.
similarly, you might want to be a bit more specific when you say "Asian" mythology. do you mean Japanese? Indian? Chinese? Thai? Russian? Persian? they are all very different in their construction and are all in Asia.

Also many mythologies are far to large and diverse to properly be represented by a single faction.
Both myself and Nightterror have said multiple times, you could base an entire HoMM game with a extremely large number of factions on just Greek myth, a single faction just won't do it justice.

What if you give "Greeks" two factions
OR
Make one Greek and one Roman mythology faction (we know Romans are just clons of Greeks with different names..)
???

Even though it may sound like a good idea,I don't think it would work out that good,since it would limit the amount of creatures from mythologies who have hundreds of mythological creatures(like greek or japanese mythology).
And also some myths have a vast amount of different creatures and some just don't fit together,I for example couldn't imagine a titan in the same faction as the cyclops or the cerberus...
