Water terrain playability and water objects are treated with special attention, due to the pirate theme of the new Cove faction. HotA brings new map objects, some being reskins of existing ones (such as additional monoliths and terrain-wise hill forts), and some new, like decorative objects, Conservatories, Shrines and more. In addition, the new Cannon war machine native to the Cove faction is also considered a very helpful addition to every army due to its advantages over the classic ballista. The playing strategies often concern the Accurate Shot ability of the Sea Dogs, Revenge ability of the Haspids, and often the good defensive stats of the Nixes and Nix Warriors. The Cove faction is mainly attack-oriented, with its heroes having their primary skills growth prioritized like 45/25/20/10 for Captains and 15/10/40/35 for Navigators before 10th level with 30/30/20/20 for both classes after the 10th level. The Cannon cannot be bought anywhere except the Cove town or the Cannon Yard, a new global map object. It possesses greater combat statistics to those of the ballista, and costs 4000 gold. It cannot be put in a backpack, and replaces Ballista in the Hero inventory. HotA invents the new type of the war machine - the Cannon. The Pirate creature has two upgrades, similar to the green dragon in Heroes of Might and Magic II. The Cove lineup is represented by pirates, sea sorcerers and various sea creatures which are allied to them. Several heroes from the other games of the series, like Astra, appear in the Cove's hero roster. The HotA project fills the empty space on the Regnan topic, and provides new related campaigns for players to know more about the Regnan Empire and the Cove faction in specific. This is in contrast to the Foolhardy Waywardness campaign in Armageddon's Blade, where the Regnan Empire was represented by the classical castles without adding of any new creature. The Cove is a town represented by the Regnan Empire which is often mentioned in Might and Magic VI and Might and Magic VII, and featured in Might and Magic VIII as the Regna Island location. Moreover, it saves the original game's functionality, unlike the VCMI platform, and is fully standalone, meaning it does not interfere with the original game, and they can both be run normally once HotA is installed. Unlike WoG-based modifications, HotA provides a complete tenth castle without replacing any of the existing ones. The Cove is the tenth castle which is a calling card of the project.

2.1 New factions: Forge, Cathedral, Kronverk.

Additionally, Blind Brothers man the Astrologer's Towers scattered across Ashan (introduced in Heroes V: Tribes of the East). In The Trap, a scenario from The Queen campaign of the original Heroes V, Isabel manages to reach the rendezvous spot with the Elven reinforcements following the counsels of a Blind Brother. Though it wouldn't be until the Fifth and Sixth Eclipses that the Blind Brothers would perfect their art of predicting these eclipses. However, it is their visions that predict the coming of the Bloodmoon Eclipses, which lead to brief yet bloody Demon invasions from Sheogh. They are not consulted very often, however, because most people think that these seers "speak in riddles and half-phrases and send you on wild goose chases".

The Blind Brothers are also capable of predicting the future (mainly by observing the movement of heavenly bodies), and sometimes are portrayed as benevolent beings that are more than happy to offer wise advice to those in need.

Founded by Sar-Antor in 62 YSD, they are a congregation of healers, seers, and embalmers that serve the Dragon of Order through functions like facilitating births and supervising funerals. The Blind Brothers are an order dedicated to the worship of Asha.
