Thematically, the Factory town is inspired mostly by the Wizard and Warlock factions from Heroes of Might and Magic II, as well as the Forge concept. From the Heroes 2 Wizard town, it takes the Wasteland terrain, the halfling unit, and the pen and foundry buildings, though repurposed for different units. In addition, the Halfling Adobe building is taken from the Heroes 2 Barbarian town, where it was used for Ogres; that these are abandoned Ogre buildings is explicitly mentioned during the campaign. From the Heroes 2 Warlock, it mostly takes returning heroes Agar, Elderian, and Wrathmont. From the Forge, it takes the idea of a faction much more technologically advanced than the others thanks to the discovery of the Heavenly Forge, though stops at a Steampunk aesthetic instead of a Cyberpunk one. The flamethrower of the Mechanics and Engineers is directly inspired by the pyros and pyromaniacs of the Forge concept. The names of the Dreadnought and Juggernaut are also taken from the Forge's planned level 7 units, though they were swapped around, with Juggernaut as the base unit and Dreadnought as the upgraded one in the original Forge concept. The factory name "New Dolere" is also inspired by the Forge screenshot were the town is named Dolere (which is normally a Stronghold name).
