(Deleted "Factory is not Steampunk" sentence as 2 of its units are clearly machines and another one is a mechanic/engineer. Together with its 19th century feel, it can at least be debatable. Also deleted "planned to be released in 2021" as there has been no statement on concrete release dates.)

Horn of the Abyss Only available when the unofficial expansion, Horn of the Abyss, is installed.

Introduction

Factory is the unreleased 11th faction for Horn of the Abyss, which is confirmed to be released in game version 1.7.0. This new faction will have the Wasteland as its native terrain, which was released in HotA version 1.6.0. The town's theme combines nature with an attempt to harness its power, which is reflected in the two "trees" of creatures and their upgrades. 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 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.

Creatures

File:FactoryCreaturesPreview.jpg

As of August 2020, the revealed line up consists of:

  • Tier 1: Halfling –> Halfling Grenadier (They may not have the Fireball Attack, but Halfling Grenadiers are said to have an ability called "Bombing Attack" that will affect their ability to retaliate.)
  • Tier 2: Mechanic –> Engineer (They can repair mechanical units in both forms.)
  • Tier 3: Armadillo –> Bellwether Armadillo (They are said to have an alternative walking animation, when getting casted by Hasted, they will curls into a ball and roll instead of walking, this is purely just a graphical future.)
  • Tier 4: Automaton –> ??? (No released graphics or information available, other than the fact that they are possibly fully robotic.)
  • Tier 5: Sandworm –> Olgoi-Khorkhoi (Fliers, similar to Nymph & Oceanid; if they come out of the ground above a corpse, the upgrade automatically consumes it, after which its next attack will receive one more strike; the bonus strikes can stack. They are also said that when combating on ships, they won't be able to use their Burrowing ability and will walk normal instead so they will not be able to ignore obstackles.)
  • Tier 6: Gunslinger –> Bounty Hunter (Retaliates to one ranged attack per round with a Quick Shot.)
  • Tier 7: Dreadnought –> Juggernaut (Both units have a special penetrating beam attack called Heat Stroke. The attack is similar in area to that of the Cerberus, but it also affects units including those behind the target, similar to a dragon's breath attack.)
  • Tier 7: Couatl –> Crimson Couatl (Couatls can Meditate to become impervious to damage and skip their turn.)

NOTE: 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.

Heroes

File:FactoryHeroesPreview.png

The two hero classes have been revealed to be the might class of Mercenary and the magic class of Artificer.

Factory will feature heroes from former games, such as Kastore and Agar (an Artificer with a Sandworm specialty), but also new ones, like Todd and Bertram. Jangaard is a Mercenary hero with a Scouting speciality, and Henrietta is a Mercenary hero with a Halfling specility. Morgan and Sam are two additional heroes of unknown classes.
