Say, when you guys were making Ornn, was HOMM5:HoF a source of inspiration?

I'm just asking because I just went through the Fortress campaign in Hammers of Fate, and I just love being the Dwarves. They capture the whole "fire and forge" angle, while being the most defensive faction in the game. It is so difficult to take a Fortress in a late-game battle. That and they have some of the best music out of all the factions.

Probably served at least as a partial inspiration for Ornn, right?
