Factory
Factory is a yet unreleased faction, which is planned to be released for Horn of the Abyss in 2020 (and confirmed to come with the 1.7.0 version). This new faction is set to be on a Wasteland (a new terrain from previous version of HotA), and can be summarized as a mix of steampunk technology and Wild West style, with nods to the unreleased Forge town.
As of August 2020, the revealed line up consists of:
- Halfling –> Halfling Grenadier

- – Damage: 1 - 3

Both the Dreadnought and Couatl are set to be 7th tier units. Both dwellings may be built in the same town and both units may be recruited. They will NOT be alternative units, like in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.
Factory will also feature heroes from former games, such as Kastore and Agar, but also new ones, like Todd and Bertram.
The two classes have been revealed to be the might class of Mercenary and the magic class of Artificer.
