Heroes of Might & Magic III: Horn of the Abyss

There's no Factory yet, that's the main problem. We need to wait for updated schedule, hopefully someone will take the lead after Doc Picolan.

Now THIS, I'm very interested in. But it seems kinda odd to have an armadillo from the Factory faction. Just because it has hard skin, doesn't mean it is a factory-made unit!

Just to continue, I've visited the Factory wiki, and it says that https://heroes.thelazy.net/index.php/Factory

tier 7 units will be Coatls and Juggernauts both of which could be purchased at the same time instead of being alternatives to each other.

I hope that the Heroes III Factory team does not make this mistake.

I very much enjoyed playing H3 Conflux as a single player. As a single player, the fact that you can hire 4 Phoenixes per week for each castle doesn't upset the game balance. After all, Phoenixes are fragile, so if you were to take a Phoenix-Armageddon strategy, you would need more tier 7s than a warlock taking a Black Dragon-Armageddon strategy.

But the ability to hire 4 Phoenixes per week totally messed up the balance in multiplayer. Halving that to 2 Phoenixes like in some mods weakened Conflux too much.

It would not be good if you have a Factory faction where you could hire 2 Coatls and 2 Juggernauts every week.

They did exactly that. It matters little though, since so far most HotA maps online seem to have no Factory towns at all for some reason. Shame the mapmakers hate Factory so much, I do like it, it's theme. The cancelled (by HoMM3 devs) Forge town was even nicer though, but that also faced backlash from "fans", sad.
