Where that idea come from? Town as from the future in the world of goblins, pixies and dragons? To understand this You must read something form the M&M world storyline... In all games from Might and Magic series, You are world of Ancients - creatures older, than every already known worlds. Ancients uses huge power, powerful magic, but them also use ancients technology, which makes them much more power and skills! By them discoveries, Ancients can rule worlds, and even make new ones. Unfortunately them enemies - Kreegans, break net of space-time tunnels and gates which connect these worlds, and by this, they started the time of Silence. These worlds without any help and inspection dying, or fall to the barbarian level. One of these worldsis Erathia. That means before time of silence Erathia was full of Forge Town's , cyborgs, robot, and strange artifacts, and Erathia ruler was emmisary of Ancients - Gubernator Padish. A lot of artifacts from these times, with Gubernator's armor in, saved, and it even
are in MM VII.
Also in this part of MM, to Erathia coming traveller's team from the other world. By using them technologies, they discovered existance of ruins and rest of ancient civilizations on planet. WIth help of this technology they can realize them objectives. Unfortunately they separate to two gropus. One group want use these wonders to open gate, like this punished by Kreegans, which could allow them contact with Anciets themself, second group want use it to re-built Forge Town, and take control in erathia with The Forge help. For real in MM VII Player choose who wins, but in storyline evil wins (what for sure is nice :P), and thats how first Forge Town come into being. Comers from MM VII couldn't produce so much new units, so they convince much powerful creatures to fight for them. Monsters received new weapon. In MM VII You can find goblins with laser-gun :)
Including Forge to AB has to unify HoMM and MM series storyline, and its existing has interrelations in many parts of Might and Magic games. With Forge dismission much question haven't find any answer. Conflux town which enters AB, have not representate anything special, and give anything for storyline. Forge could give something news for this equality, repeating fantasy world, like MM series from the first part. Unfortunately Fans did not want to risk a attempt ot make something really new. Maybe some things really shouldn't be mixed...
