Upcoming HotA town?
A few bits of info that make it seem like a Forge town may be in the works:
- From User talk:Kastore (a former HotA Crew member): Factory alignment will be changing to 'Good', which "brings us closer to the possible appearance of an evil faction".
- From [[Homecoming (HotA): "
Todd: “I met Frederick just once, at the time when Floribert and I were put in charge of another, completely insane project of Kastore’s. Hand prostheses outfitted with ripsaws, so that cripples could keep on fighting..."
- The creature being described is shown in the Forge pic below.
- From New Order prologue - The Factory under control of Kastore looks a lot like the Forge shown on this page.

Q: The intro cinematic for Armageddon's Blade is apparently a remnant of the original version of the story with the Forge, or at least inspired by it. The most notable difference is that the Blade is found rather that Forge. Can you tell us more about the intro's conception and inclusion?
A: Originally, the intro cinematic was a teaser trailer made specifically for E3, with the intention to eventually use it for the final game. At the end of the cinematic, instead of finding Armageddon’s Blade, there was supposed to be something akin to high tech ‘Predator vision’ scanning Gelu, Roland, and Catherine. This implication was to set the stage for the Forge as a sci-fi town. After the Forge was cancelled, Armageddon’s Blade was inserted as the replacement.
