Poll Question:
Heroes 6 Fortress - Swamp + Vote for towns!
Ok guys, in my Heroes 6 Expansions Thread, I explained why I think bringing back the original swamp Heroes III fortress would be a great idea, and I answered how they can be different from the Naga Faction.
Nagas:
- magic: water-air-earth-light-prime
- colors: white blue, dark blue, white,teal
Lizards:
- magic: water-dark-earth-light-prime
- colors: dark green, brown
- racial ability: possibly clicking on defend button fills your gauge and the ability allows you to grant an extra turn to any creature (with higher levels granting the turn instantly and other bonuses)
Should Tower (Academy) be snow or desert? I love the snow one.
What do you wish to see in a Heroes 6 expansion?
I want to see which 2 get the highest votes. Please I know that Academy is based on desert in Ashan and you might still think Swamp Fortress is too similar to Nagas; however, I want to know WHAT YOU WANT DEEP INSIDE, and NOT WHAT YOU THINK UBISOFT WILL DO!
Thanks

I would really like to have the swamp faction back! We didn't have one since homm3 so seeing it again would be a joy. it was one of my favorite factions! If I could have to votes I would vote for the snowy tower as it was my favorite faction out of all even than the swamp castle. I still voted for swampy fortress as it's the faction which should have a comeback . Btw swamp castle could have wild animals like panther or serpent flies, which would be much different than from sanctuary as sharks are in more of a humanoid form than an animal form.

I want the old factions (except dwarven fortress) back first. ESPECIALLY Academy!

I don't want anything from the 3DO era, actually.
BUT, if Ubisux manage to stop botching anymore of my favorite factions, then Dungeon. Dungeon!

Can a moderator please fix the title to reflect that this is a poll for what town you want the most in the first expansion, or at least the second?
We need as much votes as possible please guys, so that we can share this with Ubisoft and let our voices be heard!
You might be amazed at how significant simple polls like this one really are. It's not a design issue or about how how to do things, it is a "what", a core content issue. I think if Ubisoft know what many people here (who represent Heroes fans) want, then chances are they will take us seriously. Why shouldn't we have a say in what we want? If you have a desire in your heart, then strive to make it happen!
So please guys we need your votes!

To cut things short, I want it all. I want all these factions to appear in upcoming expansions.
I want, and I'm pretty sure they will, to have them stick to Ashan as a setting. Meaning that Academy will be in the desert, Dwarves in the snowy mountians in their Fortresses, Elves in the woods and Dark Elves in the caves.(I still have hope for the Minotaurs eventually replacing them as the main race, but that'll have to wait for a new game that is set later in Ashan's history)
I would love to see a Swamp Faction, with Lizardmen as their main race. They can be plenty different from the Naga, of that I am certain. There are plenty swampy reptilian beasts that could fit in with the Lizardmen and the Lizardmen themselves can be diverse enough to supply several units. And I still think that Ziggurat is a good name for the faction.
There's plenty that can be said and done with the other factions. And for all I've ideas plenty. But that's for other threads and other times. Things like racial magic-schools and such things.

In another thread, I said that Lizardmen are a bit close to naga. Which I stil think, and may be was meant here. But that does indeed in NO way mean I don't like 'em!
And generaly, a swamp faction I'd like...you could deven do it without the lizs, f.e. going for...
...(carnivorous) plant beings
...wisps
...Insects & Insectoids
...Mud-monsters
...some kinda swamp trolls

I would love to see a Swamp fortress with lizard people be a primary rival against the Naga. I consider the two factions to be worlds apart even if they are both watery and reptilian.
War-overlord and I know all about this don't we?

Naga - Light, Chinese-ish, spiritualists
Lizardmen - Dark, Aztecy, big on sentient (would say human, but I've never seen a human with scales) sacrifices.

Don't base the lizardmen on mayincatec culture.
AFAIK, it's already one of the main influences behind the orc faction and it's too close to Warhammer Fantasy lizard men, I think.

Well you could go for an Ankhor Wat style, but I'm blowed if I can think of another style that works with jungle/swamp. If you're not too bothered about the jungle you might like to try something desert-y, like Egyptian or Mesopotamian, or the mud-brick and logs style of the Mali Empire.

I would agree with this. Anhkor What could work, but I hardly know anything about that. So I can't judge on that much.
But as an alternative, I still say that Caribean/African/Louisiana Voodoo could work well with Lizardmen, especially in a swamp-setting. You know the dingy, ramshakle kind of voodoo portrayed in things like Pirates of the Caribean, or Monkey Island.

A race's 'culture' is fairly maleable (you could have a mayincatech or voodoo culture in an Ankhor Wat temple if you weren't bothered about historical inaccuracy), it's its architectural style which is important , and those cultures that had voodoo didn't, AFAIK have very much in the way of large, impressive architecture, which is kind of needed here.
