It's very likely that HotA will add Forge that is faithful to Phelan Sykes' vision:
Don_ko wants it, but some of the members of the crew are very skeptical. It really depends on how strong don_ko position is within the crew and how strong the opposition is.

This is addressed to whoever is from the hota team will there be english voice over for the campaign upcoming cutscenes. Is it because we had some from all in and the upcoming bulwark campaign , if not why not ?
We have been unable to locate professional English-speaking talent with adequate recording capacity on non-commercial terms thus far. What we used in some of our announcements was home recordings by a friend, and cleaning up such files for in-game use is way too much pain if you need anything more than a short one-off. Maybe a miracle will happen one day, and I would love it to, but I wouldn't get too optimistic.
I’d be happy to help out here. I am working at a news channel in my country as a reporter, and as such I need to do voiceovers regularly, and I am required to see a vocal coach on a two-week basis to maintain my vocal abilities. I have also completed a dubbing course, so I can even play with my voice if needed (distortion, ect.), and I have been speaking English everyday in my professional life for over a decade now. I do also have a professional mic and recording capability, and I am available for a non-commercial deal too. If you are interested please let me know, I am more than happy to help.

WoG was/is still very good, despite no new releases, so where are you getting at?

Are you people blind and deaf or just a bunch of fanboys willing to gobble anything that gets thrown your way? The graphics are snow, music and sound effects are snow, it"s waaaaaay below the quality of Cove and Factory. I can't even recognize it's from the same team... cause it's probably not
Also if you put WoG and HotA in the same ballpark you're obviously way past getting the point. Also an idiot

how about you keep it civil instead of insulting, appreciate Hota Tema’s efforts, and give some constructive feedback if you have any — or just refrain from speaking? not to mention your name is a curse word in russian and i m not sure it s allowed in the forum

Yeah... Criticizing the work is fine, insulting the people is not. Gave Pizdabol some time off to cool down.

They mentioned possibly adding more neutral creatures in a previous post, specifically mermaids. I hope that happens, and that Steel Golems finally get a dwelling as well.

Can anyone explain why Steel Golems have speed 6, when Gold and Diamond Golems only have speed 5?, they are supposed to be stronger, not weaker.
Even Iron Golems can have speed 6 on snow. (Or even 7 with Josephine.)

Steel Golems aren't produced anywhere, and aren't in the Golem upgrade chain.

Steel Golems can still join you on the map. They can also appear in Refugee Camps.
It's supposed to go Stone Golem > Iron Golem > Steel Golem > Gold Golem > Diamond Golem.
In reality it's more like Stone Golem > Iron Golem ~ Steel, Gold and Diamond Golem.
Inventing Steel Golems just so they could have +1 speed compared to other golems is quite weird, HotA could just have made the Experimental Shop fights with Iron Golems and always on snow terrain, then they would also have had speed 6.
Neutral units while perhaps adding interesting flavour, are quite useless to take along, except for a few exceptions like Enchanters.
Maybe if neutral creatures also had native terrain and/or higher growth, they would have been slightly more useful.

Hello! Thank you for your interest.
Hi! Long ago I started a map, it's now quite advanced but it only opens with a previous version. Now, I still have room for one more player and I would love to use the new Bulwark faction. Is there any trick to actualize the map?

Steel Golems were added so that you couldn't cheese the Experimental Shop with Harpy Hags and get Giants on day one. 6 speed is just enough that you can't kite them infinitely. Prior to Steel Golems being added, the guard was Iron Golems and it was very easy to abuse.
EDIT: I missed that you knew that. Snow terrain would work, but it would be a bit inelegant IMO, especially since the Experimental Shop has a specific snow variant so the non-snow one being on snow would be weird. I have no issue with Steel Golems being added, since it's a cute callback to Heroes II to go with the Wasteland terrain.

As I said Iron Golems on snow also have speed 6, so inventing Steel Golems, just for Experimental Shops, was completely pointless.
The fact that they are faster than Gold and Diamond Golems also makes no sense.
Adding new neutral units is cool, I guess, but they need to have a purpose.
How many of the neutral units would you actually take along or spend gold on?
