/vr/ - Retro Games

I've been looking on various slav forums, that one interview, and so on about information on the new Factory Town in HotA, and from what I piece together, I'm guessing this is going to be the lore/story behind the faction from everything they've said

So the Halflings had their homelands wrecked by the Kreegans as is canon, but these Halflings seemed to have been "taken under" by Wizards/Warlocks (I'm guessing Warlocks will be the terminology they use, but the town is clearly based moreso on Wizard Town from Heroes 2), who use them as the lowest of the lower classes working in factories and shit, while the Warlocks are the wealthy ruling class. They also hire some of the Sea Dogs/Pirates as mercenary Cowboys/Bounty Hunters. The town is really isolationist, focusing inward on managing their people and machines. Their campaign will apparently focus on that class divide.

Also Factory apparently will get a Tier 1 shooter unit so damn. Just from what they've shown off I would so far consider this a better execution of the Wizard Town than Tower, God Tower is such a boring and messy faction art direction-wise.
