== Angel ==
In an interview with Gregory Fulton, one of the lead designers of HoMM3, it was stated by him that the Angels and Archangels are sophisticated robots created by the [[Ancients]] to exterminate [[Kreegan|Kreegans]]. This would also explain how all artifact components of [[Angelic Alliance]] excluding the [[Celestial Necklace of Bliss|necklace]] and possibly the [[Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment|helmet]] (however, a similar helmet is worn by Angels in Might and Magic 7) are based on their equipment - [[Armor of Wonder|breastplate]], [[Sandals of the Saint|sandals]], [[Lion's Shield of Courage|shield]] and [[Sword of Judgement|sword]] could be examples of hyper-advanced technology of the Ancients.
In {{roe}} game the main menu's background depicts an Archangel in blue-tinted armor, wielding two-handed sword with blade resembling [[Armageddon's Blade]] that burns with animated fire. {{roe}} loading screen also uses this picture, without animation. In-game, their armor is polished steel in unit avatar picture and matt dark gray in combat. They fight using one-handed sword with wavy blade, similar to flamberge, and shield with [[Erathia]]n coat of arms.

== Factory ==
[[Factory]]'s steampunk technology and Wild West style is likely a nod to the unreleased [[Forge]] town, as in the drawing board phases both a steampunk and a sci-fi version were designed. However, the steampunk concept was abandoned by NWC due to sci-fi technology and themes appearing in the Might & Magic series, as well as the futuristic looking Heavenly Forge, that serves as the basis of the town. The only nod to a wild west steampunk theme is an obscure piece of artwork for the tavern that was quickly discarded in favour of a concrete building.

== Ogre==
The Ogre in one of the [[:File:Armageddon's blade menu no buttons.png|ab wallpapers]] is in fact a Stinger or Bruiser (the [[Forge]] level 4 troop), disarmed and defeated by [[Gelu]]. You can also see the laser-pointer of one of them in a wallpaper featuring [[Mutare]] in [[Dragon|dragon-form]].

-In 2018, Gregory Fulton, one of the lead designers of HoMM3, answered a question about origins of angels and archangels:

- ''"Over the course of my time at New World, on occasion, typically when taking a break, I would wander into Paul Rattner’s office.  Even though MM6 was in mid production, Paul was already thinking about MM7, so I made sure to update him on what was happening with HoMM3.''
- ''When I told him about the changes to the factions, I specifically mentioned the Angels.  At that point in time, Paul was essentially the lore master for the MM universe.  On the topic of the Angels and Arch Angels, he proposed they be sophisticated robots created by the Ancients to hunt down and eradicate the Kreegans.  I agreed, and we ran with it."''
