It is not uncommon for lords to give the peasants they conscript some proper training and equipment, the common spear being a simple weapon to produce and does not require much training in it's use, and works well in great numbers, the spearmen are useful on the battlefield.įor the more Pious lord, the bishop and the crusader, peasants present a valuable soldier, filled with faith and given a short sword and shield, these faithful soldiers cover themselves in simple symbols and cheap relics, hoping that these will confer the aid of Elrath upon them.Ī common soldier in the employ of a haven lord, the archer is given ample training with the bow, and while they may not be as good as the archers of the elves, what they lack in skill they make up for in numbers.

Peasant: Labouring in the fields for most of his life, the life of a peasant is a tought one, and may get much tougher if his lord calls upon him to serve in his armies, wielding nothing more but the farming implements he works with. Which i don't think was completely apparent in HoMM V, as some of the units didn't quite feel right in it. Well the events of HoMM V does offer some good ideas for how haven could look like in HoMM VI, with the two upgrade trees being able to be sharply divided in the noble feudalism branch and a much more zealous branch. To start off i'll post my idea on how i think the Haven faction might be in HoMM VI, i'll add my thoughts to the other factions later on and come up with a few factions of my own as well. The more you can describe them the better, unit descriptions, your ideas for doing this and that and so on. So here it is, post your ideas for how the old factions should be and your ideas for new factions. Well while i also have an idea/wish thread going, i kinda feel that factions should have a thread of their own.
