The developers have introduced new mechanics called HOMM Olden Era Faction Law(s). They build upon gameplay and work similarly to what you call a Technology Tree. Using this new mechanism, Factions can receive unique upgrades tailored to them and them alone, making each stand out from the other.
These affect all aspects of gameplay, from upgrading economic capabilities to improving the combat effectiveness of units. The HOMM Olden Era Faction Law mechanic won’t steal the spotlight per se, but it will enhance the overall gameplay experience, giving you more options to build upon.
In short, the HOMM Olden Era Faction Law mechanic will give you the ability to express your playstyle and bring it to life in-game. Each match will feel different, and depending on the faction you’re playing, gameplay will feel unique. That said, here’s more on what HOMM Olden Era Faction Law(s) are and how they function.
How to enact HOMM Olden Era Faction Law(s)
As your Hero(es) gain EXP, they’ll be able to boost Faction Seal production. They accumulate over time, and when you have enough, these Seals can be used to enact Faction Laws. Depending on how powerful the Law is, you may need multiple Seals to unlock. On a side note, if you don’t want to engage in combat, you can construct income-generating buildings to get Law Seals
Keep in mind that only 100 Seals can be unlocked per game, which means you will have to prioritize what Laws to enact. As mentioned, these Faction Laws can provide bonuses to Heroes, Units, and the economy itself, allowing you to unlock your Faction’s true potential.
As you advance and unlock Factions Laws, you will be able to progress along their tiers. Each higher tier only becomes available after you spend Seals on the lower tier. This will take a while to unlock, but higher-tier Laws will provide more bonuses, and as such, they will yield dividends.
How do HOMM Olden Era Faction Law(s) differ from one another?
As mentioned, some Laws will be common to all Factions; such as Tax Collectors (produce more Gold) and Resource Riches (provide a one-time boon of resources). However, each Faction will have unique Laws that play into their respective playstyle. Here’s a brief rundown of things (looking at Tier-2 Faction Laws):
- “Temple: Heroes of Tales (morale of Hero(es) can be increased), and Architect’s Mastery (one additional building can be constructed per day).
- Necropolis: Stand to the Death! (defence of Hero(es) can be increased, Animate Dead II (increased Necromancy power), and Laws of Immortal (cities general more Law Points).
- Schism: Ice Power (Hero(es) gain Spell Power), Survival Conditions (cities produce more Wood and Ore), and Depths of Mind (additional Mana restored each morning).
- Dungeon: Or No Ore? (construction costs less ore), Jadame Maps (more Movement Points), and Alchemists Code I (one-time boon of 50 Alchemical Dust).”
As for Laws pertaining to the Army, most of them just boost the effectiveness of their respective troops with a few odd buffs tossed into the mix. Overall, they are similar in functionality.
