Not this faction. This is Steampunk. The cancelled faction was called Forge and had cyborgs. So the idea was toned down a lot. But I find it ironic that the Factory has giant robot with laser but now people are okay with that.

​@@Crazy-Drokon Well, yes, I agree. Heavily reworked. But the strategy fans didn’t really like the concept at the time 😃

​@@Crazy-DrokonThe big laser robots is way more Steampunk than a cyborg-tank Naga with flamethrowers and plasma blasters.

In what place?

@@goldy8278 oops my mistake. It’s 3.5

​@@Vlagnar3.5 is often considered as WoG add-on, while this one is HotA ;) developed, but Heroes 3 still.

@@goldy8278 where can I get it?

It's added in the Horn of the Abyss mod

Ubisoft: C&D, PEASANTS!

​@@darkdillUbisoft attacks with bad luck!

It's used for Factory's campaign theme. IMO, his take is too understated to work as a town theme, so I agree with the HotA crew's choice to go with this theme instead.

@@murlocaggrob2192Honestly speaking, I like Paul Romero initial trailer take on piano the best. Two other versions are not as pompous at it was, I think it would fit well for a city. Not changing the music itself, just making it play at faster rate and hitting harder like that piano take.

@@dziku2222 That was Docent Picolan's version. Romero just promised to complete the track after Docent passed away.

Or it might be just a coincidence, just like you can find some parts similar to cove in "It's my life". without Docent Picolan we will never know what has inspired the track back then.

@@Crazy-Drokon Paul Romero also told that he knew Docent Picolan and also told that this melody had a little roundtrip. It was firstly used by Cold band, then it was simplified and used by NiN member but I didn't hear the details about that on the concert. And then it was used in Cove theme, just to be remastered by HoMM orchestra :)

It has been released 2 months ago.

both this theme and Paul's theme are based on melody composed by Docent Picolan. They have similar parts but only because they both are a "remix" of the initial music piece

@@Crazy-Drokon oh, I understand, thanks

what exactly is "less fitting"? And what is the problem with cove?

@@Crazy-Drokonrobots, lasers and western shooters are less fitting, flamethrowers are less fitting. just as yarr pirates and cannons are less fitting to a game that was supposed to be about mythology. and just overall the creatures, towns and items lack the imagination that the official content has. it reeks the forced fan fiction content it is. i don't mind if someone else likes it but at least allow people to turn it off and just enjoy the balance and qol improvements.

@@Eye_Exist Might & Magic is a sci-fi game. Gods are technologically advanced precursors, the Kreegans are invading alien locusts, and Angels are robots built to exterminate said aliens. If you play through Factory's campaign, it marries the Heroes of Might & Magic side with the original Might & Magic games. It's VERY faithful to the original lore.

@@murlocaggrob2192 irrelevant, because HoMM3 was a mythological medieval fantasy game until the introduction of hota, which further changed the concept into scifi world and some western nonsense by introducing factory town. it's irrelevant if it's faithful to the M&M-lore, because it's not faithful to the theme of the HoMM3 game itself. it's all good if they choose to create this type of content, but as the 'the' modernization of the HoMM3 game they should at least allow people to choose whether they want to take the different path with them and let to choose the content they want to include in the game. who would that hurt?

@@Eye_Exist You know the OG creators New World Computing was going to introduce Space Orcs (which the OG creators of HotA took inspiration of Factory and toned it down) after Conflux and both Devils and Angels are actually Robots, Kreegans (Devils) are from another planet like aliens right? Like it's totally a canon lore. Not to mention Mana is cosmic energy (magnetic energy to be precise) and not magic. It's a thorough Sci-fi game. On a regular basis, where Aliens can travel through space and angels being mechanical robots, Factory struggling to be a Victorian Era faction is mild at best.

Разве? А в что не так?

​@@vas_._sfer6157очень большой контраст по сравнению с оригинальной музыкой. Совершенно другой характер звучания. Нет того огонька. Хоть в оригинале все мелодии разные, но они в целом обладают общей аурой. А эта не вписывается в общий настрой.

@@Efrim_Timofeev Ну так уже и не классический музыкант допиливал, по сути своей. С другой стороны, Пола Ромеро тоже куда-то не туда унесло с темой города.

@@ArturFlintchannel потому что когда Ромеро писал свою музыку для третьих героев, он был в кураже. По строению и звучанию музыки, было видно что автор испытал огромное вдохновение. Тут не просто красивая музыка, она наполнена какой то "магией" , она создаёт невероятную атмосферу в игре. Конечно же спустя время тот же автор уже не сможет повторить прежнее исполнение, для этого нужно поймать ту волну, которая давно уже прошла и не вернётся.

Пока планами на новые города никто не делился

Actully because Hota crew are fixed bags, and also they CAN a do something new.

I think this version is mediocre, that's why it acts as campaign theme, not the town one. If only Paul made the same version as in 2020-2021 New Year's...

Yes, but you can still catch a glimpse of this song in the new version. They didn't completely scrap it.

@@tritonwe8937 because that one and Paul's are both based on a melody composed by Docent

The music is so romantic (and not mechanical) because it tries to convey the mood of a bright future for the settlers from Eofol.

Он согласился написал, команда послушала и определила его музыку в качестве темы кампании (на канале тут же есть рядом), а для города другой человек эту мелодию сделал.

Ага, только под видео с музыкой Пола, плиззз)) Это произведение написал не Пол)

Тут ни паропанка, ни стимпанка (одно и то же), а давно уже дизельпанк. Увы.

Это написал не Ромеро. Этот трек написал Maigret. Трек Ромеро, который не взяли в качестве темы города, выложен на этом канале в другом видео.

@@Ell_Dea нашёл Ромеровскую. его мне не понравился совсем.

@@DenisZolotcev Команде тоже не зашёл в виде темы города, поэтому и перекинули на кампанейский, да.

Благодаря Хоте теперь люблю больше 3 герои чем 5)
