The HotA team has both skilled programmers and artists, true enthusiasts, dedicated to the game they love to its very core. Such a level of dedication is very rare in modern game industry

Every single game, I think its after getting the coutl unit.
ResourceManager::GetSample could not find the "sfx" resource "cnotmove.82M", and then repeated messages for the files "cnotattk.82M", "cnnotwnce.82M", "cnotkill.82M", "cnotdfind.82M", and "cnotshot.82M".
The battle noises for the coutls are replaced by weird sounding cuckoo clock sounding horn when attacking.
The error popups messages make it incredibly hard to play the game.
I have reinstalled the game and homm 3D.
What is going on?

reading between the lines, perhaps they added Egyptian style objects, as a preview of the next city?
At least many of them are used in one of the campaign missions, in a context that makes me think they added them so as to be able to allude to the Tomb of VARN when designing that map.
Yeah is pure speculation but there are some signals.
"all current HotA Crew members and all current and former members of the WoG Team, Core WoG and NTG." this message is from the original creators of Bastion, that restarted the project 3 years ago, and let the HOTA team be testers.
https://forum-df2-ru.translate.goog/index.php?s=81ff0f3de3a81df1c83ad36a1c8d647e&showtopic=38303&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=es

it would be a bit of a defeat, because it is an already well-known city so nothing new, I was referring to a city completely never seen and therefore new, the remake by HotA of the unfinished Oasis of Nephretes is definitely better than an Egyptian Bastion already known since WoG 3.59

other speculation:
could it also be the addition of the hot air balloon therefore aerial movement, as a signal for an aerial/suspended in the air faction?

It is but it's not by the official Hota Crew and of course I want to play it offically in Hota especially with the true graphics and mechanics.

They probably didn't scrap that "Cathedral" concept for no reason. If there ever was a "they" in the first place. While there's room for another evil-aligned town the concept of an evil Castle variant featuring a humanoid lineup doesn't seem to meet the originality HotA is known for.
Anyway we've just got a new town with some creative ideas, so why rave on another new town? There's more to the game.

other cities as far as I'm concerned are always welcome, I hope the next city is already in HotA 2.0 if not even sooner

Cathedral wasn't of HotA quality. Boring and poorly animated units. No thx.
If HotA makes another town, the desert terrain and an Egyptian-themed city would probably be the best. I know there's one already (Bastion?), but it also has boring units and isn't of HotA quality.
At least it's not as boring as Cathedral.

I know, right? People have been ranting for a couple of years waiting for Factory and, now that is finally released, they already ask for yet another one. Jeez

Just want to ceremonially chime in and thank for and congratulate the HotA Crew on a fantastic update! Been very much enjoying it ever since release. 
A beautiful tribute to the memory of Docent Picolan!

I was thinking the same.  Let's enjoy the new town and all the new content!
On another (but related) note: What are the things that the HotA Crew said they would bring into the game but that are not part of the 1.7.0 version and therefore might realistically be in a possible 1.7.1 update? To me, two things come to mind:
- making the Steel Golem recruitable in the Golem Factory
- having the texts of the campaign videos be spoken by voice actors
Do you guys remember anything concrete apart from those two points?

Imo first thing we'll see are fixes for all the bugs found by the Community.

They were saying they are planning to make the campaign easier on lower difficulties on the Russian forums (thanks to community feedback I suppose). They are keeping the higher difficulties the same. They weren't sure this would be in 1.7.1 or later though.

Just dropping in to say I'm loving the new version so far and looking forward to seeing what the mapmaking community does with the airships.

We introduced professionally voice-acted cutscenes for the Forged in Fire campaign in 1.7.0, albeit only in Russian. We have not, however, conceived of any feasible way to recruit professional English-speaking voice talent yet, seeing as we cannot offer any material compensation.

I was looking at the three frozen HotA projects on heroes3towns.com, the stronghold project has many similarities with the factory faction, for example the terrain, the airship, and there are varn units that would connect well with the story of the newly released factory
