Race: 6
Too much referrence to real history, starting with the name "Viking". The only gods in Ashan are the dragons, there is no Odin or Valhalla. "Choice of Saying" does not match the factions philosphy of revenge.
History: 7
Pretty imaginative, although some things don't add up. For instance, why would the Academy Wizards want to do what they did to the Carthusian Clans?
Creatures: 7
A decent line-up, although I would have liked to see some background for each (e.g. why are the trolls in league with the humans? why do the dragons help them? what are frost dragons doing here? the land has only been icy for a hundred years. If they migrated here, from where and why? The land was stranded in the middle of the ocean
Balance: 6
As with many other creature line-ups, I am not seeing a solid collection of special abilities to match up to existing factions in H5
Originality: 6
TOTAL: 32

Stuff to do with gaming: 35
-Creature lineup 7/10
-Mechanics 16/25
Dragon at Lv7, boring (-1) a very interesting creature lineup (9), but level 6 having a shaman seems very out of place (-1)
your mechanics are very out of place in the HoMM5 context..lv1 should have 1-2 attack and defense, so im guessing u base it on HoMM3 context.
-Lv 3 has way too high damage and health (-2)
-Lv 4 a very interesting creature, well done(+3)
-Lv 5 is too weak, moves too darn slow, almost unusable (-1)
-Lv 6 doesnt require so much ammo. a little too high damage for a shooter. random chance of casting chainlightning is crazy (-1)
-Lv 7 too much like black dragon, speed 25.. 50% frost chance too high(-1)
but your creatures would work well with one another(+3)
mechanics are very important to me, how versatile your town can be played, espacially with the hero skills, it will also be included in mechanics. i LOVE to see stats, as i will be able to do calculations that will pretty much show me how much dmg a troop can deal, etc.
Stuff to do with history/story etc: 25
-History 3/10
-How your creatures are being gathered into the town 8/10
-other additional stuff 5/5
history is very out of point in afraid, it doesnt fit into the context of HoMM5.(3)
basically your creatures fit well into your town, but i cant see how werewolves come in, or Dragons for the matter.(8)
good story.(5)
history and stuff, the usual. im an avid reader, so here my rating would be pretty strict.
Appeal: 15
-Appeal to female players 3/5
-General appeal 4/5
-Personal bias 4/5
average (3)
generally high appeal (4)
personally i REALLY like the valkyrie, but not dragon (4)
im aware of homm5 going to be a sink or swim game, hence appeal plays a big part in my rating too. ive noticed not many female players play homm, due to not liking many towns, i would like the town to attract more female players too; both for the players and the money to save HoMM.
Originality: 12/20
-Based on how much cliche there is in storyline, how well your idea is portrayed, creature is new, abilities are new and basically about new stuff.
based too closely on the Norse mythology, i would have given you more should you have changed their Deities to fit into the HoMM5 context, and idea doesnt seem to be well portrayed.
it pays alot to be original.
Others: 4/5
-This includes other stuff i want to say 5
Good town, but with lack of certain vital details (4)
TOTAL: 66% (33/50)

This is a good rendition of the nordic themes. I just can’t seem to like it.
Total Score=33
How I graded these:
Race (Originality [1-5]+Compatibility with HOMM5 universe[1-5])
History (How interesting is it to me [1-5] +Compatibility with HOMM5 universe [1-5])
Creatures (Originality [1-5] +Internal Consistency [1-5])
Balance (are the special skills inventive [1-5] + Does it have a variety of flyers, shooters, walkers, spell-casters [1-5]
Originality (all the originality scores added up and divided by two. This means that creativity counts twice. [1-10])
15 to go

Race: 8.5
History: 8.5
Creatures: 7
Balance: 6
Originality: 8
Overall: 38
Comments: The history is a nice account of the initial rift between the Norsemen and the Wizards, but slightly detached from other races aside from Academy. The creatures themselves are interesting and original, but are inconsistent with their statistics – e.g. Viking Berserker, level 1 5–19 damage (!), while level 4, Valkyrie, does 13–17. Level 1 creatures should be dealing, on average, 1-3 damage for the upgrade, definitely not in the vicinity of 5-19, which would be apt for level 5. The originality, reflected in the history and race is excellent, but the creatures themselves could have used more descriptions.
