;New towns
* {{town|Palace}} -- good-[[alignment|aligned]], [[Vori]] elves, nisses, and vikings
* {{town|Grotto}} -- neutral-aligned, the dark elves and gnomes who guarded the [[World Tree]] and were exiled to [[Jadame]] before most of the events in Heroes 3. Has a town building that boosts heroes' spell power, in the same way as the [[Necropolis]] has a building that boosts [[Necromancy]].
* {{town|Forge}} -- evil-aligned, the dystopian perversion of the [[Heavenly Forge]] by [[Kastore]]. The Forge is optional and can be toggled on or off before each match. It has a [[war machine]] focus, with replacements for existing war machines, a coilgun (presumably instead of ballista) from the basic blacksmith and another from a blacksmith upgrade, which is not decided yet between howitzer (catapult replacement?), ammo cart replacement, or first aid tent replacement.

;New terrain types 
* [Grotto terrain]: a dark loam-like soil.
* [Forge terrain]: a polluted wasteland, with a slightly greenish tint.

** Fortified walls and [[garrison]]s themed after each town faction.
