They could have added automatons and some mechanics in the experimental shop instead actually. It doesn't have to be mono-creature. 2x steel golems 1 mechanic and 1 Automaton. Could have provided far interesting challange.

What the heck can you dig for on lava?
Efreeti?
Damn.
That would actually be nice.
But that would be a quasi-creature bank.
And I quote:
"We definitely don't want to simply add more banks..."
Then again - Ancient Lamp - is not a creature bank.
So maybe...

Who would've thought that HoMM would not only be alive and sound in 2026 but would receive such an amazing team of enthusiasts capable of doing pure miracles that only NWC's magicians alone were believed to make. Oh please, now give me a pocket time dimension, which I could escape to, to finish HotA campaigns, as in the end things that you love and enjoy will matter, and not those 'important' ones that steal precious time from you.

Thanks a lot to tevye and other members of the team that gives us more update and question answered than usual . It is appreciated I know you said they were time consumming sometimes especially the factory . But simple text are more than enough when you can . Here is my question since forge is evil , it does leave an imbalance in good and evil factions ? And what will be done to take care of this if need be .

Love what I read from Hota. Rebalancing magic seems for me the most important thing. But also improvement in customizing hero specialisation is something I wanted for almost 25 years. I know how to change it by modding: but every update then breaks it again and I have to do it again. I really would like to have Forge fully enabled, but I see also tjat parts of the base wouldn't like it.

We all know a rebalance of inferno is coming , always thought the pit lord unupgraded should do demons and upgraded horned demons . The other is lower the cost of archdevil by 500 and then change the grail use for boosting fire magic or something else.

Are there any plans to make adjustments for battle and town screen? What I mean is that the higher the resolution the smaller the screen. Is there the idea to get this in full screen to like back in the days with poor resoution?

If they could balance fire magic and artillery in a way to boost inferno that would be nice.
If pit lords could summon demons from a stack killed by devils however devils can keep their price tag .
I wish there was something for efreet sultans as well.
Also brimstone storm clouds giving -2 speed to flying units would be nice.
Anyway one can dream

To @Tevye:
Thank you so much for the answer about Cathedral. I'm so glad that the town is still being looked at & not canceled or being forgetten.
I'll just hope that Cathedral will be on the list again after Forge release.

Hello, i have a suggestion for the inferno grail.
Starting from the week the Grail is captured, every week has a chance to become:
20% Week of the Imp/Familiar,
20% Week of the Gog/Magog,
15% Week of the Hell Hound/Cerberus,
15% Week of the Demon/Horned Demon,
15% Week of the Pit Fiend/Pit Lord,
10% Week of the Efreeti/Efreet Sultan,
5% Week of the Devil/Arch Devil.
each tripling the growth of the respective unit.
I know it may sound unbalanced and crazy but i think it should be fun

I can see a town brought back with the cathedral theme the same way kronverk came back as bulwark , but is so far away . I believe if there is ever a fourteenth town we can expect it in about 4 years.

Is this the studio that doesn't sell games in Belarus and Russia “because of the war,” but has no problem with the USA and Israel? They care about Ukrainian children, but they don’t care about Palestinian, Iranian, Lebanese, Cuban, or Venezuelan children, do they? I hate those insincere hypocrites. They pretend to be “good,” but they're just greedy capitalists counting their blood-stained dollars.


It’s a disgrace to the Russian people that HotA is working with these servants of the dollar empire. Too embarrassed to post that on VKontakte, huh?

I think you're a mixing up two things. It is written that these are the people of the Hota crew and if I'm not mistaking, the HoMM Boardgame is a different thing which includes some of the work the Hota Crew did. There were a couple of posts about it.
Maybe someone with a bit more insights can provide the links and informations to clear up this missunderstanding of yours.

I would like to know what will be the reward for a mission before I decide to put any effort to it.
Pandora is random - I get it. That's fine.
But can't that Seer dude state what he wants and what he will give in return?

Learned a lot of new things from archon studio interview with greg fulton . The t7 is cyberbrute has a toxic breath attack , 3 tiers of mage guild, tesla coil war machine and a special building that gives 4 type of ressource. All in all very interesting we'll see how close hota will get with all these things that were elaborated. Also t5 to t7 need special ressources to be bought.

If they are staying faithful to the original design, this will be true for HotA too. That was one of the features of the faction announced back in 1999.

I have watched these forums since a decade ago and just registered for thanking HotA crew and the community about keeping this game alive after many years, and finally the possibility of having the Forge as playable faction. I know probably a lot of feedback and questions have already been done, but this would be a ok place for some doubts? Thank you in advance
