Fortress, with all its dragon flies, wyverns, hydras and basilisks, would be neat. But the rest of the HOMM towns would make for excellent figurines. Given it’s a miniatures based game, this might be one of the rare instances where Conflux - a town that’s quite boring to play in HOMM 3 normally - actually shines. Only three towns will be included at this stage - the demon-summoning Inferno, the classic humans of the Castle and “a yet to be announced Town”.
But it looks like Archon is designing the HOMM game around longer play sessions of a few hours, given how the exploration, recruitment of higher level army tiers and hero development. There’s a long way out between now and its Kickstarter - I wouldn’t expect backers to get the game until at least mid-2023, if not later, given the campaign won’t go live until November 2022. Many of the abilities and artifacts have been replicated in card form, and they should have no difficulties making the jump to a physical board game. Your hero’s movement speed was capped to whatever your slowest army unit was. HOMM is all about growing massive stacks of armies and having multiple heroes with different army types. The studio said they’re still testing elements of the design, but for now your population would determine how many units you could recruit. I asked how the traditional Heroes of Might and Magic cycle - where you earn money each week and recruit new allies from your base - would fit into the context of a board game.
