This is going to be my second town... I am curently trying to choose between 2 ideas:
1. A race of centaur with roman/greek style who worship Elrath - the dragon of light.
2. Creatures of the far north - Around 4 Ice troll units, a white sabre tiger and a few undead... Ghaul\Revenant (A frosen corpse armed with a sword) and a Frost Fiend\Frost Devil (Frosen undead pit fiend or devil)
I still can't decide wich one would it be. Don't worry, as soon as I make a choice I'd start updating

i think a army of the far north sounds interesting, preferably using some kind of fire to keep warm. if you are doing them, i suggest a pyromancer as a possible unit (or hero!)
the centaurs also sound interesting, but can you imagine centaurs on the ramparts?

Nah, no fire is needed. These trolls would be immune to cold. The whole idea is to be very very cold place... the Undead units in their army would be covered in ice and their town would be high-walled wooden fortress with snow and ice all over the place. You could just feel the cold. The Trolls would have a Regeneration skill, and they'd have some kind of racial skill close to the necromancy. If humans can master necromancy why wouldn't trolls.
As for the Centaur... well I was thinking about a white ruined city with greek/roman style. A remnant of the anchient races full fo statues and marble and maybe a little gold. This Ruins would be the Centaur's towns.

Just from looking at this creatures list, I can say that it's definitely not a race.
You have here demons, humans, animals, etc. You can't just take creatures from different races, make them "Icy/Frozen" and say that they are a race!

It's a race of trolls, who have tamed tigers and use basic necromancy. The Hag, Tracker and Raider are Troll units and so is the Witch. The Tiger is a tamed animal, the Ghouls and Demons are undead. The Ice Giant I'm not yet sure of - It's either an undead, a very large troll or an elemental creature made of ice.
I'm still working on this town.

Okay, now I got it. Nice idea. 
But you definitely should change some names.
Fiend and Devil are demons, not undead. Even if they are frozen.
There's allready the Dark Rider in the game.
A normal white tiger can not be an undead! I don't see what he has to with this faction...

Well the Frost Fiends are undead Demons. The history would make it clearer as soon as I finish it. You'd see.
By White Tiger I mean a something like a Smylodon. White Tigers are related to Trolls the same way dogs (or Griffins ) are related to Humans. If we have mammoths in HOF why can't we have snow tigers?
Link? Well, think about the Sylvan for instance... They have 2 tree-related units (Sprites and Anchents), a Unicorn and a Dragon.
Humans ride horses, have Griffins as pets and are aided by Angels.
Dungeon - Munotaurs and a bunch of various lizards. Even Dwarves have Bears, Mammoths and a Magma Dragon. A bunch of trolls who can use necromancy and have tamed now tigers doesn't seem so far fetched.
And I have little knowledge of D&D - I never played it and There is no D&D in Bulgaria so all I know about it comes from Neverwinternights, a few badly-written books & a little the I've seen around the Net... Ghouls are pretty generic creatures though - I've seen them in alot of games & checked the Wikipedia, so I know its not just a D&D creature.

I like the idea, only the Ghoul is not for here (in my opinion)...
P.S.
Why the Frost Fiend is not coloured, I can swear, it was

Hag to Valkirie??!!??!!??! WHAT THE f...HECK?
HAG: Ugly old biddy who likes mixing potions and shreiks when she dies. Celtic Mythology. Evil.
Valkirie: Beautiful maiden on a horse. Norse Mythology. Good.
Come on, do your reading!
or at least change the upgrades, I mean, in the name of Sylarkka!

I think its a bit unfair to have almost everyone immune to cold because then people faced with this town will have to abandon cold magic altogether

It is the only one that doesn't.
And I think it should be changed, because immunity to cold to 6 out of 7 creatures is unbalanced.

Listen, Elvin remarked that your town is a bit unfinished.
I've checked out what do you have:
Town name
Race name
Motto/Philosophy
Colours
Worships
City and Kingdom
Creatures
Racial skill (without abilities)
What means that your maximum final mark can be 35%.
What do you want to do?
