ICTC: Atlantis\Mystic
Before anyone get's mad because there is already a water town, this is no lizard or naga town, and I think myself it's alot else. Arguments below.
Now let my dutch mind get to work and introduce you to:
-------------------------------------------------------
-Main information
=======================================================
Atlantis/Mystics
Type of heroes: Water sage [magic], Mystic warrior [might]
Associated colors: (light)blue, gray
Worship: Neptune, the god of water and their creator, the water dragon.
Core philosophy: "You will gain no peace by resting."
Homeland: The sunken city of atlantis.
Capitol City: New Atlantis
Flag: A mermaid(like) shadow placed on a circle with a wave background.
(Above emblem made by my self, credits go to me  !)
(Above emblem made by Oakwarrior, credits go to him!)
-------------------------------------------------------
-Racial issues
=======================================================
Racial special:
-Free water movement:
They don't waste moves going in
and out of boats.
Some units can even go trough water without a boat.
-Land advantage:
Farther movement when battling in
water/on a boat.
Less movement when battling on magma/desert.
-Water intelligent:
Cause of their water advantage
all units have more defense when
defending against a siege.
-Light bulb
They need a source of light on their adventures,
they can see further on the main map into fog
of war.
What's the race like:
The mystics are a people of magic and order.
Chaos can't be tolerated after
the horrible battle against their god.
They like to live in peace and harmony with
each other. They are very driven in
water magic and love the sea around them.
There are even mermaid tribes
who live under the water surface.
Once a year these people come
out of their homes and go with
the land people to a great tournament
where they are tested for their
magical skills. No battle, blood and murder,
only a enjoyable show. This show decides
wich sage is the next morale leader
of the year. For the rest it's a silent folk
who have no real needs from the outside but are
above everything very curious how the
world changes around them.
Inner town:
They live in huge bubbles filled with water
on land. These bubbles are also the
walls of the cities.
And give protection against all enemy units.
They have alot of organic units spread across
their town. The standard houses are not much
used by the folk, only for primary issues.
There are a few meeting places and a great
dome in the middle. All mystics gather there
in a normal day instead of sitting at home what
is almost impossible in the small buildings.
Shops are hard to find, everybody sells his or
her goods on the street. Because there are no thieves
they don't need to worry anything is going to be stolen.
Inner building:
You would expect weeds everywhere,
but weird enough in none of
the normal buildings there are weeds.
Except in the gardens afcourse.
Inside of a regular house you find
a small room, just enough to sleep in.
The walls are decorated with ancient marks to, in believes, protect them against evil powers.
In the upper of every house there is
a small floating blue crystal.
It's created by the magic force
of every living thing in town.
The crystals are also found on
the streets and everywhere just to
make it light.
They suprising don't like darkness.
The houses have the shape of
a small flatten cube, not high and not big.
Just enough to fill the place
of one or two.
Enough space to do other things,
and since the water is warmed
by the shield they are never
worried for temprature.
Too bad the surface tells other..
Extra`s in town:
-Ocean whisper:
A building that can only placed
if the town is near the water.
It gives information trough the
ocean to the people in the town.
All enemy heroes who enter their
radius will be identified.
You can see how many they have
and what level etc.
"The sea lives, listen to it's
whisper and hear all the secrets."
-Mystic laboratory:
A building that invents all kind
of stuff. It supports the player
with almost every possible potion
gettable. Though you need to level
the laboratory. Every level has new
potions to offer.
"Curiousity sometimes gives all the
needs of knowledge."
-------------------------------------------------------

Glad you`re taking it so, cause else it wouldn't be any contest or would it? It was really my idea as well until I saw yours and already got a bad feeling.
But actually we should support each other
Edit: Could anybody rewrite my subject name? Cause it isn't an entry like this..

What about trading the kelpie and the guarding statues?
Edit: And what about putting the hydra's back in the place of the dragons?
Also I have edited the history so it would be more fit into the HoMM V history.

Well,you can't replace dragon with hydra,unless you name your hydra differently.Suggestions::Sea hydra,Water hydra,Aqua hydra or Tidal hydra.
About replacing statues and kelpies,well,it wouldn't be very bad but you should decide yourself.Maybe you don't even need to replace them if you make kelpie more powerful,dangerous,mightier and more fearsome.

Yeah, I'll have a look.. And I really though hydra's already lived in the water.. Since a hydra in real life is also a water creature. But seems alot different. Only it has no legs like in HoMM III.
P.S. what about my self made symbol XD
