It´s a Bastion!

Unread postby Angelspit » 12 Jun 2007, 01:42

There has been a fair amount of speculation around the name of the new Orc faction. Horde has been mentioned several times, and the new might town could have been a new take on the classic Stronghold. However, Ubisoft gave us a way-too-obvious hint already: if you take a look at the <a href="/http://mightandmagic.us.ubi.com/">poll on the official portal</a>, <b>Bastion</b> is an option next to the seven other Heroes V towns. Thanks to PhoenixReborn who found the information.



By the time I write this, the Necropolis leads with 21% of the votes with Dungeon in second place. The Bastion is second to last, with 9% of the votes, but we still have a lot of things to learn about the Orcs.

Anyway, I like Bastion as a name, it fits the hoitytoityness of the new towns.

Hey Daystar don't steal my thunder. I made the news!



To tell the truth I only noticed the mention of Bastion on HC today after I saw the might and magic site. But it doesn't matter.



Anyway Bastion is a fine name and hopefully this will become a favorite faction for me. I like the cyclops!

I don't mind Bastion, better than Horde IMO

So, screwup on Ubi's part or didn't they care if this info was leaked this way?

Anyway, I'm fine with Bastion. It is just a name afterall.

Funny though how they had not even disclosed it officially after all this time :)

No, I'm on the lookout for such news. If I had not seen it then at least someone from celestial heavens or hc would be aware.

Would you really say the same if it was Horde?



Anyway I like Bastion alot, something new, something very fitting for an Orc faction with barbaric attitude.

Actually it's a third city in Heroes named Bastion. Second city is (will be) Egiptian WoG city and first is... Rampart from H3 (at least in Polish).

Does anyone have any news on the WOG version of Bastion? It was the egyption style city. It looked very nice and with complete town and units all rendered. As Vhilhu mentioned, the link no longer seems to be active.
