Well thanks a lot for your attempt to keep things fresh, but you should not have published this before we had the chance to do it officially. The most flabbergasting thing is the fact that you used twice recompressed JPG assets while the same pictures are readily available in PNG at our forum: http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=28905&view=findpost&p=755322

I encourage you to read everything

Machine translation is decidedly not the most optimal way to read important information.

A first third level concept of Factory

It has already been noted a few times that the Gunslinger is a high-level unit.

Also, we would like to state that the widely spread lamentations about the new town having too many humanoid units are unfounded. All such units have been shown already; the remainder of the lineup will be made up of beasts and mechanical constructs.

____________

Well then, let's try and make it somewhat more official. The Russian M&M Tavern VK community interviewed me about the announcement; it resulted in a fairly extensive piece. Besides mulling over the concept of the Factory, it has answers to a number of popular questions about the town, and HotA as a whole. Some content that was previously not shown in the teaser video is also presented. We will try and provide full translation of the interview within a week or two. It is not advised to read Google Translate's attempts to relay the material, as MT solutions are currently not up to the task, when it comes to translating advanced wording in Russian. We would like the English-speaking community to wait for the official translation before offering any in-depth comments.

For now, we decided to provide full-size illustrations with translated commentary.

Not for Grass, no. We had toyed with the idea to make some grass-covered hills for Highlands, but I eventually decided against implementing the results. We might revisit this later, though.

It's unbelievable that you have so much artistic skills and even with them, you're still improving Heroes 3. You could easily make your own game and not only be famous (you've already achieved it) but also earn money. Incredible. Thank you for all your work over the last years.

Gunslinger looks like a character from Red Dead Redemption series Btw both he and Bounty Hunter look cool but since we're getting a steampunk (?) faction I wonder if they should at least have some themed characteristics here and there. A mechanical arm or at least visually distinct steam powered gun. Atm they simply look like taken straight from Wild West, not a fantasy-esque setting.

I'm eagrly awaiting news on the rest of the line-up as I'm interested in this "non-humanoid" unit concepts.

PS: It's really cool to see that even although Horn of the Abyss is a fan made project, the whole development process looks as legit as if it was taken straight from 3DO's official dev blogs. Aren't you HotA guys from 3DO by chance?

Wow ... great news!  Thanks a lot, this is really kind from yours side that you're thinking about all community.

1.)Bertram and Henrietta looks awesome  - I'm assuming that Henrietta may have a specialty in Halfings (probably Halfings will be tier 1).

2.)Bounty Hunters/ Gunslinger looks like typically wasteland badass/ rogue. Can we find out something more about them? What kind of specialty they will have?  

Quote:
It has already been noted a few times that the Gunslinger is a high-level unit.


I assuming that high-level of unit it's 5th or 6th tier.  
Because of this and their dangerous and despicable apperance  I can propose specialty like: 'Death stare' or  'Accurate shot'.

3.)In last demo by Docent Picolan we saw a part of  location which was named by community 'Saloon'. Is that building will by assigned for the Bounty Hunters/ Gunslingers ?


4.)
Quote:
FIncinerator (unit's naming subject to change)

Commonly known are two names which was used by Forge: Pyromancer or Pyromaniac but I can propose also: Flamewaker, Flamebringer, Falme cultist, Infantry of the flame, Fire infantry.  
Or maybe something with „dragon” because of their flames e.g: Dragon cultist.
