'''Banned secondary skills:'''

Some skills are not available for certain hero classes, which means they can only acquire them from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Witch Hut]]s (except for [[Necromancy]] and [[Leadership]], if not allowed by a map-maker), [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Pandora's Box]]es.

{{ss|Necromancy}} and {{ss|Water Magic}} are not available for [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]].

{{ss|Necromancy}}, {{ss|Resistance}}, and {{ss|Interference}}{{-wh}} are not available for [[Artificer|Artificers]].

==Creatures==

==Town names==
Unless specified by the mapmaker, towns will generate with a random name. Factory towns will use one of these following names:

{| class="wikitable sortable" style="white-space:nowrap; text-align: left;"
|-
| Arcadia || Ardon || Aurichalcum || Burton
|- 
| Corakstone || Dardentor || Endurance || Fort Rotwang
|-
| Kergar || Mount Copper || New Dolere || Prospero
|-
| Ridder || Salda || Volta || Vulcan
|-
|}

If there are more Factory towns on the map than possible names, they will use names taken from other towns.

{{user commentary|
* According to [[User_talk:Kastore|Kastore]], Factory will be transitioning into good alignment and there will be a new evil-aligned faction added at some point.

* Factory has two creature line-ups: natural and technological. Both have their own level 7 creature and can be developed in parallel.
* Factory army is well balanced in offensive, defensive and support at all stages of the game.
* Maximum [[Mage Guild]] level is 5.

'''Pros:'''
* Despite its expensiveness Factory can choose one unit line-up and develop it quite quickly.
* Factory has 2 mechanical creatures which can be [[repair]]ed (i.e. "resurrected") if damaged.
* Factory towns can "earn" 5-day income (2500 gold) in advance using [[Bank|Banks]] every 5 days. Banks are strategically useful at early game, so could be used to faster max upgrade halls and other income-based buildings in order to have great economical advantage at early game and further. 
* [[Halfling|Halflings]] are possibly the best level 1 unit. They shoot, like [[Master Gremlin|Master Gremlins]], but have higher stats and an extra ability (ignoring enemy defence). 
* [[Automaton|Automatons]] are among the best level 4 units, with no enemy retaliation ability. They can be used as tanks early on and [[repair|repaired]] with [[Mechanic|Mechanics]] or used as suicide-bombers with their [[Detonation|Detonation at death]] ability, which allows them to explode and deal significant damage to all creatures surrounding them. This can be used early in the game to defeat much stronger enemies. 
* [[Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunters]] are useful for clearing [[Wandering Creatures]], [[Creature Banks]] and hero-vs-hero battles(recommended with [[Shackles of War]] and casted [[Anti-Magic]] spell in order to prevent harmful [[Forgetfulness]] and damage spells) which have only ranged creatures without casualties due to unlimited [[Preemptive Shot|Preemptive Shots]].
* Native terrain is [[wasteland]], which makes it harder for other units to traverse (however, movement penalty is lower than for [[snow]] or [[swamp]], which are native terrains of [[Tower]], [[Cove]] and [[Fortress]], respectively).
* Excellent Grail building; Lightning Rod can wipe out the entire army of wandering creatures, or deal significant damage against enemy hero's army. Sending multiple heroes a turn with no army when one of the allied Factory towns has the Lightning Rod can clear almost all enemies, except for units that have [[Spell immunity]] or a [[Spell Damage Reduction]]. This is the only type of Hit-and-run allowed since patch 1.7. 

'''Cons:'''
* Factory is an expensive town. To have both unit line-ups a lot of resources is needed (70 Crystals just for the lvl 7 creature dwellings and their upgrades). On top of that, it has among the highest ore spending on all buildings, and the highest army cost (even when comparing 7 vs 7 units, and not including the level 3 Bellwether Armadillos).
* A lot of the Factory units are quite weak in comparison to other creatures of the same level, especially when unupgraded (especially Armadillos and Couatls). 
* Most Factory units are quite slow (only Automatons, Sandworms and Couatls have at least 8 Speed), and a lot of the units have very low HP (Halflings, Bounty Hunters, Couatls are among the most fragile units for their respective tiers). 
* Factory doesn't have 1-4 level flying units. All other towns besides [[Inferno]] and [[Stronghold]] have at least one. Their only flying units are Sandworms (level 5) and Couatls (level 7).}}{{end of user commentary}}
