@wiseguy: Very nice beginning. Just try to make your faction to be less similar to H3 Dungeon.
@bixie: Please add some material, especially creatures line up.
@Bombur: Nice. Please add history and a racial skill.
@Gvozdengrom: Very good. Great descriptions and well balanced.
Just try to choose an associated race, and check that your creatures line up is related to it.

Bond of darkness: the witch can use this ability to curse the target of this attack, with a bond of darkness making the target Vulnerabe
to dark magic. So when a dark spell is cast on them it has double effect.
The heroes have very high attack with slight spellpower and low knowledge and defense. The favored magic class is mostly dark then summoning. Their Ultimate skill is assassinate, which allows the hero to completely kill the weakest stack in the opposing army.

**********************************************************************
The Insect Masters
Subterranean town of insectoids, lead by troglodytes and medusae.

County/Kingdom: Marsh Caves
Capitol: N/A
Key symbols: An insect head with facet eyes
Motto: Learn the Secrets, Keep the Secrets
History:
before the Modern Age (Origins)
In the wizards creation of beast men they made many new, strange races using all sorts of magic and samples of tissue and blood from many of the existing races. The Wizard Farouk Al-Jiza travelled most of the known world to get specimens on which he could experiment. In 515 YSD he injected the blood of a Naga into several hydra eggs, and forced the genomes to mix, so that what hatched seemed both humanoid and reptilian. He named his new creatures Medusae, and they were proud and enigmatic creatures, with the Naga abilities to wield magic.
After he heard of the pact Tuidhana made with a Faceless he travelled to her kingdom and managed to sample something of that surviving eldest. Using this (tears? blood? toenails? nobody knows) and combining it with imp blood and large subterranean fungi he created the blind troglodytes in 545 YSD. Both species reproduce very rarely but on the other hand they have very long life spans.
In the early years of the Civil wars of the Seven Cities the four hundred or so medusae and the thousand or so troglodytes fled their hometown, seeing that its ruin would be imminent. Searching out a subterranean home, as they all were partially cave dwellers, they came upon a strange area known as the Marsh Caves, a system of humid caves and caverns in the mountain chain that separates the Vale of Heresh and the Broken Lands. The low amount of valuable metals in these mountains has kept them untouched by both Dark Elves and Dwarves. There they found several species of large insects, living in a constant war over foodstuff and living areas. The medusa thirst for knowledge led them fairly quickly to tame the insectoids in stead of having to constantly fight them, and in the taming the different species ceased fighting among one another. They now try not to bother any other countries, and live their life in solitude and tranquility.
It is not known what made the wizarding community on the mountain lake of Boomschakkalak decide to create the monstrosity known as the face hugger or the beholder. It is assumed they got their inspiration from the rare type of squid that recided in the lake (one of their main types of sustenance); and that they somehow meant to create a land living, squid-like cattle, to minimize their need to fish. But their attempts to create a dull and friendly creature went haywire. Instead they created the quick breeding, all eating, with magic saturated beast that has since plagued many parts of Ashan. The face huggers, descending from creatures living in the debth and darkness of the deep Boomschakkalak lake, prefer the darkness and moistness in natural caves, so the fact that there are many of them in the Marsh Caves comes as no surprise. They were – however – fairly quickly subdued by the wits and knowledge of the medusae.
As both medusae and troglodytes shun oppression, remembering their status as slaves and playmates in the Seven Cities, they have no king or queen, rather every Hive town is its own city-state. They also dislike their former masters godlessness, and have taken to pray equally much to all six elemental dragons, as they believe in equality.
Medusae and Troglodytes consider Wizards and Demons their enemies. They have a truce with the Dark Elves and Dwarves over territorial conflicts. They are neutral to all other factions.
Creatures:
Level 1:
Larvae/Armoured Larvae/Venomous Larvae
Attack: 1, 1, 2
Defence: 1, 4, 2
Damage: 1 – 1, 1 – 2, 1 – 2
Initiative: 7, 8, 8
Speed: 4, 4, 4
HP: 4, 5, 5
Looks just like a big larvae. Green with yellow blots; or brown with black blots or black with purple blots.
Emotionless: can have a morale level no lower than -1 and no higher than +1. They are immune to all sorts of terror and fear, and have a 50% immunity against other mind magic.
Eat dead opponents regaining health in the process. 1 HP for every 2 HP of individuals killed in the stack during that attack Only works on corporeal organic enemies, including skeletons, zombies, vampires, lich and skeleton dragons. Does not work on elementals, golems, war machines or ethereal undead. Larvae do not resurrect using this ability.
* Retaliator: Armoured larvae gain a 100% bonus on retaliation damage after defending.
* Poison pins: The back shield of the Venomous Larvae is filled with poisonous pins that protrude every time an enemy attacks or retaliates against it. The poison causes immediate damage equalling the number of Larvae, and yet again the next time the creature is to move (thus poison only works twice, as opposed to the Assassins ability).
Level 2:
Troglodyte/Troglodyte Hive-thrower/Troglodyte Runner
Attack: 4, 5, 6
Defence: 4, 5, 5
Damage: 4 – 6, 5 – 7, 5-8
Initiative: 7, 8, 7
Speed: 4, 4, 4
Shots: 0, 4, 0
HP: 10, 12, 12
Immune to blind (since they don’t have eyes)
*Nestthrowing: Throwers throw hornet nests with a short range, can not be thrown longer than 4 squares. The nest acts like a wasp swarm curse, decreasing the initiative of the hit monster by 20% until next action.
*Initial Rush: At the start of combat the TrogRuns get a 0.3 increase in their ATB value, and on their first move they have speed 9.
Level 3:
Ant Drone/Ant Warrior/Ant Defender
Attack: 5, 6, 5
Defence: 3, 4, 5
Damage: 3 – 6, 3 – 8, 3 – 7
Initiative: 10, 12, 12
Speed: 6, 7, 7
HP: 11, 15, 15
Ant-like insectoid, warriors first attack is with its bee-like stinger, Defenders have large shields in both topmost paws.
Emotionless
*Egglayer: if the warriors manage to kill living enemies at their first attack then for each enemy killed one new warrior will be hatched after the battle (or as many as there are warriors, depending on which is the lowest). Only works on organic enemies leaving carcasses. Does not work on elementals, golems or undead, except for zombies.
*Shield Allies All friendly creatures located on neighbouring tiles get only 50% of damage from non-magical shooting attacks.
Level 4:
Facehugger/Beholder/Evil Eye
Attack: 6, 8, 8
Defence: 7, 7, 7
Damage: 5 – 8, 7 – 12, 7 – 12
Initiative: 14, 15, 15
Speed: 5, 7, 7
Shots: 0, 6, 6
HP: 22, 28, 28
The levitating monstrosities attack their prey with their electrical tentacles. For Beholders and Evil Eyes the large main eye is more protruding and has a darker colour.
Flyer
Shock: chance to stun enemy, whom does not retaliate and loses 0.2 initiative.
Eat the last: if killing enemy stack of small creatures, then regains up to full HP, increasing attack +2, defense +2, initiative +2 for three turns. Not accumulative, killing new stack means three turns from then.
*Shooter, *no melee penalty
*weakening strike (Beholder, only on ranged attack)
*dispelling strike: all beneficial spells cast on attacked creature have their active time decreased with 25%-75% and the level of the blessing is decreased by one (unless no mastery in casting) (Evil Eye, only on ranged attack)
Level 5:
Mantis/War Mantis/Preying Mantis
Attack: 13, 15, 15
Defence: 12, 12, 12
Damage: 8 – 10, 8 – 14, 8 – 14
Initiative: 10, 10, 10
Speed: 6, 8, 8
HP: 38, 48, 48
Large Creature, Flyer, No enemy retaliation, Emotionless
* Supreme retaliation: The War Mantis has a 50% chance to withstand enemy no retaliation ability, she also retaliates so fiercely that enemy defence is completely ignored.
* Bodybind: The Preying Mantis binds her enemy so that the stack she attacks cannot move, and an equal amount of creatures in the bound stack as there are Mantises (or all if fewer) must spend one turn trying to get out of the binding, thereby being incapable of retaliating during this turn. If there are bound creatures in the stack when it is its turn the stacks strength is decreased with the number of bound creatures. If the stack chooses to Defend for that turn the binding is lifted.
Level 6:
Medusa/Medusa Mystic/Medusa Mercenary
Attack: 22, 25, 27
Defence: 20, 20, 20
Damage: 18 – 22, 20 – 24, 20 – 25

petrifying gaze with a 50% chance to work (in melee only). Petrified creatures do not retaliate, their ATB is set to -0.5 and their initiative is set to 3 until their next move. Only works on living creatures. If enemy is healed then petrification is lifted (but ATB value remains where it currently is).
* spellcaster (adv. haste, adv. weakness, master magic fist) (Medusa mystic)
* Stone Gaze the Medusa Mercenarys melee attack has a 30% chance to turn up to 10% of enemy stack to stone (capped at the number of MedMercs) thereby killing it instantly. Only works on living creatures.
Level 7:
Flame Bug/Fire Bug/Spitfire Bug
Attack: 25, 28, 28

Damage: 20 – 25, 22 – 30, 22 – 30
Initiative: 10, 10, 10
Speed: 5, 5, 5
Shots: 0, 5, 5
HP: 160, 180, 180
Fire bugs are gigantic beetles spewing a highly flammable liquid (think Starship troopers…) Troglodytes ride them to direct them properly
Large creature
The flame bug has a fire attack similar to dragons, hitting any creature behind chosen opponent.
* Shooter both upgrades spit their natural napalm, but in different ways.
* Line of Fire: the fire bug shoots its organic napalm in the same manner the magi shoots his magic fire, all the way through the battle field, hitting everything in its way.
* Spit Ball: the spitfire bug spits balls of unignited napalm that turn into a 3x3 fireball when they hit ground.
* accumulation: since the fire bug creates its own napalm it can once per combat spend a turn accumulating, gaining five more shots.
Heroes:
• Troglodyte: attack/defence of larvae (luck, soldiers luck )
• Troglodyte: attack/defence of troglodytes, more nests to
throw (attack, archery)

simultaneously casting free haste on slowest own troop and slow on fastest non-immune enemy troop, and stealing 0.25 of that enemy creatures initiative, giving it to the affected own creature. Up to two creatures at lev. 10, three at lev.20 etc.)(light magic, dark magic) Spells: haste, slow
Faction special:
Hive Mind
The Troglodytes and Medusae have built a special link to their insectoids, leading them in battle. Each time the hero attacks an opponent all insectoids in his/her army will do greater damage to that particular opponent until the heroes next move.
Basic Hive Mind: damage dealt to chosen creature by heroes insectoid warriors is increases with 5%.
Advanced H.M. : damage dealt increased with 10%.
Expert H.M. : min damage dealt increased with 15%.
Ultimate H.M. : damage dealt increased with 25%.
Specific abilities:
Racial:
Pheromonal frenzy : the opponent is hit with a stinking substance that makes all insectoids (friend or foe) in its vicinity attack it before they do their normal turn. This includes all that it has to pass to reach its target. Effect stays until heroes next turn.
Double attack: Hero will simultaneously attack two opponents if they are directly next to each other, or one square apart. Thus marking two opponents for Hive Mind attacks.
Hatch master: if the Hatchery is built in a Hive town, hero will be able to hatch larvae into drones (cost 5 wood per larvae), or mantis (8 wood+1sulphur/larvae). The metamorphosis will take at least 2, resp. 5 days, but creatures will not be available until the beginning of the next week.
Hive Queen (ultimate): Hive Mind also augments the attack and defence by the insectoid with the double level of the marked enemy (between 2 and 14). If Insectoid manages to kill at least one creature in the stack the Good Morale bonus is applied and creatures ATB is set to 0.5.
Logistics:
Redress: hero can once per combat swap magic artefacts from inventory to wearing.
Death March (req. Pathfinding)
War Machines:
Master Healer: First Aid Tent gets initiative 12 and a full six healing actions (req. First Aid)

Medusa Salvo: there is a luck-based chance all medusae in heroes’ army will get a shot at the enemy the hero just attacked. No luck roll on those attacks.
Offence:
• Termite attack: At the beginning of each battle, hero summons termites that attack the enemy catapult, ballista, first aid tent and/or ammo cart (it is randomly chosen what war machine to begin with). For each turn they take damage depending on hero level. Termites continue their attacks until battle is won or until there are no more enemy war machines to attack. (req. Tactics)
(req. Tactics)
Retribution (req. Termite attack)
Defence:
Resistance (req. Vitality)
Play Dead: When a stack gets attacked while in defensive stance, it will appear to the enemy as the stack dies, even though it does not. You can see the stack on the ATB bar, but not your enemy. When it is the stacks turn you can choose to keep on playing dead (by waiting or defending) or to move/attack, thereby returning to the ATB bar. If stack is hit by splash damage or area effective hurting spells it shows as living again.
Sorcery:
Fast Magic: casters in heroes army use only 70% of their initiative when casting spells
Equilibrium: every time your hero casts Haste, Divine Strength or Righteous Might there is a chance Slow, Weakness or Suffering is cast on a random enemy creature. If hero casts one of the said Dark Magic spells on enemy there is an equal chance the respective Light Magic spell is cast on random own creature. Only works if there is enough mana left. Hero does _not_ need to know the randomized spell.

Sap Magic (req. Master of Storms)
Seal of Elements: enemy hero is forced to spend twice more mana to cast Destructive Magic spells in combat (req. Sap Magic)

Blacksmith, cheap First Aid Tents
Mage Guild, levels 1-3 have one Destructive and one Summoning each, and one Light or Dark spell. However, if the 2nd level Light spell is Cleansing; or the 2nd level Dark spell is Decay then the spells Deflect Missile and Confusion will not be available at 3rd level. Also, if both 1st and 2nd level spells are Light/Dark then 3rd level spell will be Dark/Light. Guild levels 4 and 5 have one Light and Dark spell each.
Special buildings:
Hatchery, see above. Only one type of metamorphosis at a time can be done. Also increases number of larvae with 5 per week (req. Queens Dwelling, town level 4)
Temple of the six: this temple dedicated to equal appraisal to the dragons of light, darkness, air, water, earth and fire, gives every visiting army a 40% magic resistance to enemy cursing and elemental magic until the next battle. During that battle no destructive magic Mastery abilities (freezing, stunning, armour damaging) work on your army. The temple also adds one spell of Dark and Light Magic each, both meant to be the equivalent of existing spells in levels 1-3, and the Summon Elemental spell to town Mage Guild (req. Mage Guild level 4).
Equilibrative spells are Weakness–Divine Strength, Slow-Haste, Vulnerability-Endurance and Suffering-Righteous Might.
Funghi Farms: Increases the number of troglodytes by three per week. (req. Warren, town level 4)
Channeling Tower: Increases Knowledge and Spellpower with one for each visiting hero. During siege, the Tower steals additional mana from enemy caster when he or she is casting a spell, increasing own hero’s mana. (req. Citadel, town level 10)
Defender Ladders: If an arrow-tower or the keep is destroyed during a siege, the troops staying there will climb out from the rubble in one turn and are added to your defending troops. From the side towers three, and from the central tower five medusae will climb to help you.
The All-seeing Eye: Grail building, a huge facet eye in the ceiling of the cave. Apart from normal grail thingys it increases defending heroes Defence and Spellpower with five both, sets all enemy creatures as constantly under the Hive Mind Mark and lets you see all the statistics of enemy heroes in the towns area of view (which is increased by five).

Summarizing Post - 6th Round
Well, this round is the last one before the final round, as I've said. After having from the most difficult to the easiest races, I just wanted to give you something light and fun, before our great finale.
This why I chose H3 Dungeon's theme, something we all know, many of us like it, and many wants it to be back.
Since it's something that you've already known, I want you to be innovative and do it a bit differently. I mean that races which are exactly the same like H3 Dungeon have lower chance to win.
Sadly, TDL told me that he won't be able to finish his entry until the deadline, so this is just a part of his faction, and I won't judge it. Bixie's entry isn't complete, so I won't judge it as well.
The Refuge, by Xerox:
An excellent entry! Everything just feels good and complete. I can really imagine this one in the game, and mostly the creatures abilities, which are very creative. Is that your first entry? If it is, I will be impressed even more.
Positive:
+Very good history. How the faction, that was used to live alone, with quite and peaceful life, finds out the outside world.
+Very good creatures line up. The names are great.
+Creatures abilities are creative, but some of them are too powerful.
+Great town description and buildings.
+The racial skill is original.
Negative:
-Some of the creatures abilities are overpowered.
-The entry should be reorganized.
The Asylum, by wiseguy:
Well, this is a quite nice faction, but it's too similar to H3 Dungeon. It just feels like it, and We are looking for new innovative views about the H3 Dungeon, not the H3 Dungeon itself.
Positive:
+The faction is well balanced.
Negative:
-Too similar to H3 Dungeon.
the Shagatki, by Bombur:
Good entry. It includes some good ideas. The history is good, and so is the motto (or the core philosophy). You used unactived images. Next time, make sure they all work well before you put them.
Positive:
+Good history. Nice to see that you combined there suitable history of other races.
+Nice creatures line up.
+The creatures abilities are good.
Negative:
-The racial skill (the first) is quite banal.
Hideout, by Gvozdengrom:
Positive:
+Very good history.
+Good creatures' descriptions.
+The Creatures abilities are creative.
+Well balanced faction.
+I like your town description.
Negative:
-Doesn't feel like Harpies faction, in MY opinion.
-I don't like the racial skill. I tried to execute the concept of invisibility on the adventure map, but I just found out it's overpowered and very annoying (for the enemy).
The Insect Masters, by crepus:
This is an amazing faction. I've seen this concept before, and this is the first time I see it well executed. The entry just feels compelete. Excellent job, crepus.
Positive:
+Great execution of a very hard theme.
+Very good history.
+The creatures line up is excellent, the descriptions are great, and the creatures' names are good. It's a bit weird that a bug is the 7th level creture, though.
+Excellent creatures' abilities. They are very creative, and they would have tactical use in the game.
+The faction is well balanced.
+Good buildings.
+Heroes abilities are wonderful!
Negative:
-Average racial skill.
Winners Declaration:
First place: The Insect Masters, by crepus. He wins 2 points and a QP.
Second place: The Refuge, by Xerox. He wins 1 point.
Well done, everyone. See you on the final round.

Wow! Alc, that's impressive!
It's pretty hard to read the creatures' information, because the window side changes the text size, and I have to save the pictures on my computer to see them. Can you just put them as pictures and not as links?

Here are my Naga ideas. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. 
NAGA/MERFOLK
Basic Information -
I'm thinking of the Merfolk as basically fish-tailed people, but the Naga as more serpentine, like in Warcraft and previous incarnations of HOMM. The two races are allied and occasionally interbreed. They are allied with many creatures of the sea which serve them out of loyalty rather than compulsion.
History -
Two races that worship Shalassa, the Dragon of Water. They've pretty much kept to themselves until drawn out of solitude by war. The Naga were the original race; the Merfolk were created from crossbreeding with humans and elves.
Creatures -
1. Mermaids: ranged attack, poison - armed with composite bows, the Mermaids rain poisoned arrows upon their enemies
Upg1. Mermaid Princess: ranged attack, charm - princesses lose the poison attack, replacing it with "charm" which causes enemies to be charmed by their beauty and occasionally refuse to attack them
Upg2. Mermaid Enchantress: caster - enchantresses lose their ranged attack but gain a spellbook with a couple of spells allowing them to perform simple enchantments on enemies. I'm thinking of incapacitory spells like "blind," "slow," or "sleep."
2. Naga Retiarius: net - based on the gladiator of the same name, he'd be armed with a trident and a net. Net ability could function similarly to the Treant's root binding, except the Retiarius can drag his enemies with him while they are caught in the net. Just imagine -- he nets his foes, then drags them back to the Naga army to be butchered!
Upg1. Naga Myrmidon: net, tail whip - Myrmidons are simply a stronger, faster version of the Retiarius, and can tail whip, meaning that while retreating they can whip the enemy with their tails without the chance of being retaliated against.
Upg2. Naga Murmillo: double attack - The Murmillo loses the net and trident, gaining a short sword, buckler, and some heavier armor. He also has the double attack ability, allowing him to attack twice in melee.
3. Sea Turtles: withdraw - slow and steady, these giant sea creatures have long given service to the Naga. The withdraw ability allows them to hide in their shells, protecting them from damage for a period of time. Of course, while in hiding they cannot deal damage either.
Upg1. Giant Turtles: withdraw, snap - even larger than their kin, the Giant Turtles gain the ability to snap with their beaks, dealing triple damage to one enemy stack once a battle. They have more hit points than their already sturdy brethren, but alas, cannot move any faster.
Upg2. Turtle Riders: ranged attack - mounted by trusted Naga warriors, the Turtle Riders lose the withdraw ability, but the Riders throw javelins while the Turtles carry them to battle. Once they finally reach the melee, they attack with long spears.
4. Naga Siren: caster - these sorceresses cast water damage spells and confusion, their melee attack is their powerful voices which cause sonic damage.
Upg1. Greater Siren: caster - this upgrade adds puppet master to the Siren's spellbook, making for a truly deadly unit
Upg2. Naga Lorelei: caster, Siren Song - the Lorelei lures enemies to their deaths with the beautiful Siren Song. The Song allows the Lorelei to control the movements of the unit it affects, allowing the Lorelei to lead it into danger. They can't control the attacks, as that is what their sister unit does with Puppet Master. However, the Siren Song also does damage to the affected unit over time.
5. Neptune Chariot: earthquake - an older Merman in a chariot pulled by dolphins, he can cause an earthquake with his trident, doming damage in a specified area to clusters of units and even buildings
Upg1. Poseidon Chariot: earthquake - this upgrade is a stronger version of the Neptune Chariot and is pulled by sharks instead of dolphins
Upg2. Triton Chariot: earthquake, trample - not as strong as the Poseidon Chariot, the Triton Chariot makes up for this with the trample ability, allowing them to sew discord among enemy troops by actually riding over them and through their midst, knocking them aside, doing damage and causing panic. And once beyond the enemy lines, they still have that trusty earthquake ability. The only problem is that since they're significantly weaker than the Poseidons, they can get bogged down easily behind enemy lines if you're not careful.
6. Kraken: entangle - this giant squid monster can entangle multiple enemies in its many tentacles. However they're very slow moving on land.
Upg1. Dark Kraken: entangle, toss - this upgrade allows the Kraken to throw an enemy unit across the battlefield, doing damage and potentially hitting another enemy unit. They're basically using enemy units as ammunition for a makeshift ranged attack!
Upg2. Vitriolic Kraken: entangle, ink spray - these monstrosities can spray a vitriolic ink on enemies, blinding them and causing debilitating burns.
7. Sea Serpent: fierce bite - basically a wingless water dragon. The bite ability leaves open wounds on an enemy, reducing the enemy's speed and stamina.
Upg1. Water Dragon: fierce bite, fly, heal - the Water Dragon has wings allowing it to fly, and it can heal friendly units with its magical potency.
Upg2. Azure Dragon: fierce bite, fly, fear - our old friend from HOMM3, this unit would be the strongest in the game as well as having the ability to send enemy units into a frenzied panic from the fear ability.
Town Description - the Maelstrom:
A gigantic whirlpool with a "Neptune's Palace" floating in the center. Outlying buildings float in the sides of the whirlpool and rotate around the central palace. Inland, the Naga Maelstrom is surrounded by a large, moat-like lake in order to contain itself on land. On the coasts, it is actually in the sea instead of next to it. Maelstroms can also exist in the ocean, and enemy factions can only reach these ones by ship.
Description of racial skill - Sea Mastery:
For a price of gold and resources at the Maelstrom, Naga heroes can "crossbreed" their units, allowing them to mix and match unique abilities. Of course, this can get very expensive very quickly, especially when trying to do it with the best abilities.
Naga Hero - the Sorcerer/Sorceress:
The enemy hero gains the "Flood" spell, which floods the battlefield, lowering enemy initiative and allowing friendly units to move faster (as their sea creatures are slower on land). However this spell costs a lot of mana which could be reserved for their powerful destructive magics. And of course, the Sorcerer/Sorceress has access to the Sea Mastery skill/ability (see above). The greater the prowess in the skill, the better they are able to use the ability.
Well, these are my Naga ideas. Some of these ideas are still rough and unpolished, but I hope you like them anyway.

Is it okey for me to make two short versions of the naga town?
I have two ideas and i dont know which one that is the best.
The best of my naga towns will be developed further and the other will be deleted.
With short version i mean a short story and a creature list.
And my naga town will be namned The Shrine or the Queraz.

Wow! Alc, that's impressive!
It's pretty hard to read the creatures' information, because the window side changes the text size, and I have to save the pictures on my computer to see them. Can you just put them as pictures and not as links?
Hmmm ... Sounds like a browser issue. No such problems for me.
Anyway, it's old stuff, pictures are also in this thread if you have problems seeing them from the line, so no reason to repost them I think.

You can make two, but they will be judged separately.
@Godwine: please expend your history and the basic information.
The creatures descriptions are very good, just add statuses.

Naga towns are called Queraz, this is my second entry ever.
History
Long, long ago Shalassa, the Dragon of Water, created the race of Anava. They looked much like elves or humans.
They made their home on the large island of Shanovas in the Jade Ocean. The Anava soon built their capital city, Atvéra in the center of the huge island. Many religous groups were created and one of them, Shalassas Choosen, became very succusful. They had soon taken the power of the Anava and builded many great temples, shrines anpalaces. And after maybe five years all of the Anava belived in Shalassa and other sea goda that were false. But one day something terrible happened Shanovas and its surroanding isles.
Tsunamis, volcanos, earthquakes, tornados and many other naturaldisasters came crusing into the home of the Anava. And very, very soon Shanovas and its isles were swalloved by the sea.
No one knows whats happened. But one thing was for sure, the Anava would never be the same. They would be the Naga.
The Priestesses of the Anava transformed the Anava into the Naga. Because of this they surived but was forced to build there cities under the ocean. Thr Priestesses didnt like male powers so they did simple only transform females. The men drowned.
The Naga also became immortal and full of magical powers. In the deepths they tamed many creatures like Quotls which were used to scout the surface, Sea Serpents and Naiads.
But recently something has called the Naga up from the deepths. Someone that really, really hates other races. And from this moment the War of the Tides had begun.
Faction Information
Aka: Choosen of the Tides
Major Groups/Cults: Shalassas Circle, Council of the Golden Eye, The Golden Blade, The Eye, Tideguards of Doom
Associated colours: Sea Blue, Gold.
Worship: Shalassa, the Dragon of Water.
Core Philosophy: Death will rise from the tide so be wise...
Key Sympols: The Sea Dragon, The Sea, The Golden Eye of the Sea.
Race Despriction: Transformed people living on the sea floor. Now called up from the sea floor by an ancient evil.
County/Kingdom: The Jade Ocean, The Empire of Shaqva
Capitol: Rebuilded Atvéra, the city under the ocean.
Other Naga Information.
The Naga are ruled by many diffrent groups and cults. From the middle of the capital city the faction known as The Eye watches over the people. They control so no enemies comes and are a kind of goverment for the naga. But they are not there leaders.
The Council of the Golden Eye are wise soceresses and priestesses. They train elite spellcasters of the naga. They are also the keepers of Magic and Secrets. The naga heroes known as Priestesses are mostly trained here. The Council also make all the choices of the Naga, which hopefully are wise.
Shalassas Circle trains minor spellcasters like the Sirens.
They rule over the naga with The Eye and the Council. They also make sure that people dont stop beliving in shalassa and cotrols all tempels, palaces, altars and so on.
The Golden Blade are the elite warriors of the naga but does also try to lead the naga.
The Tideguards of the Doom was created recently. They are the army and will lead the naga to the one whos calling them and bring doom to the surface.
Before we start with the creatures i want to explain some things.

Even on the battlefield far away from the sea the Storm Witches can call upon lightnings and dark clouds. But they can also sing dark, cursing songs upon the enemy, but these songs do not allure enemies, they curse them. The Storm Witch is no beauty, they have an dark scale unlike the other naga and serpent hair.

The Naga has learned the Quotls to live underwater in great palaces and temples.

The Manaseekers or Manaeaters are as many understand used to destroy enemy spellcasters and heroes mana. The are used by the Tideguards of Doom and has proven to become very succesful against the wizards of the Silver Cities.
Though the Manaseekers has lost some of its powers like defense and attack it is truly the mana users nightmare.

Mana Regenration: Regenrates 1 mana every turn. This ability must be bought in the town.
Mana Bolt: Sacirfices all mana and turns it into a Mana Bolt. 1 Mana = 100 damage. So if you have 20 mana it will do 2000 damage (!) but sacrifce all the Quotls Manaseekers mana.
Mana Feed: The creature transfers some of its own mana to the hero.
Mana Destriyer: Now this makes the spellcasters cry. When the Manaseeker attacks an enemy creature with mana there is an 35% chance that it will destroy (not drain, destroy) some of the enemy creatures mana.
This is probably an Quotl Manaseeker but could also be a Young Quotl becuase the manaseekers has much, much, much darker colors.
Lv6 Walker. Slayer
Some Priestesses of both The Eye, The Council and the Circle that has become tired of magic joins the Golden Blade.
Only the best warriors can join the Golden Blade. The Slayers has truly earned a place in it. The Slayers can be compared to the mystic Rakshasa Rani and Raja.
They are masters of the blade and unlike many other nagas they have four arms. That means four blades, chance on two attacks at once.
But allies should stay back because the Slayer can get really, really angry sometimes and attack her own allies.
And just like the Strom Witch these naga wants to show their power by enlarging themself with the help of magic.
Attack: 21/24
Defense: 17/19

Double Attack: Creature strikes two blows at the target in a single attack. But there is only a 30% chance that his will happen.
Four-Bladed Attack: The creature can attack simultaneously all enemy creatures standing on three adjacent cells.
But be warned, if your own creature stands in front of her they can also be attacked.
Wrath: If the Slayer kills all creatures in an enemy stack they will go into the Wrath Mode. One of the creatures around the Slayer (even you own creatures) will be attacked. This holds for one turn.
Slayer Upgrade. Battlequeen
The Battlequeens are the queens of melee combat. Onky 5% of the naga population gain six arms instead of 2 or 4 (its like a 30% chance you are born with four arms).
Of course this means six blades! The Battlequeens can attack several units at once, but be careful even you own creatures can be hurt.

The Mistresses of Doom are a part of The Tideguards of Doom and just like the Strom Witch they are an Dark Naga or Chaos Naga.
When they kill a large stack of creatures they will become uncontrolable and their far more dangerous.
Also their blades are cursed. Anyone that has beign hit from an Mistress of Doom knows who it feel when curses reach your mind.
The Mistresses of Doom can even do trippel attacks.
Death will come to all that comes near the dread Mistress of Doom.

Lv7 Walker. Leviathan
No, the Leviathans are not from this world. They are from an elemental plane a long, long way from Ashan.
The Leviathans are summoned beasts. The Summoners are of course the ones who do the strange rituals to summon these mighty beasts.
Its very hard to say who an Leviathan looks like, as no one has seen them except the naga themself, all others has died.
But this is the best description of them.
They look like giant whales with no necks.
They are large and blue. At their back they have no pinnas but tentacles.
So the Leviathan is mostly and hybrid between the kraken and an monster whale.
The Lacuzay can do enormous damage underwater but in land they walk very slow and have very, very low intiative.
So the best thing the Leviathan can do on the surface is too go into defensive stance and shot water beams at the enemy.

(The Lacuzay buries his tentacles into the ground. They do this all the time but when doing this command the tentacles goes deep. So the Lacuzay stands up like the Magma or Fire Dragon.)
Water Spray Attack: Creature simultaneously attacks three adjacent tiles occupied by the enemy.
Leviathan Upgrade. Ancient Leviathan
The ancient Ancient Leviathan is much larger then the normal one. From their mouth and eyes you can see the yellow, glowing magical energies that resides within them.
They have great spines on their back and can shot massive water beams across the battlefield.
With their magical scale magic doesnt hurt them much. But still there problem is the speed, which unfourtanly never will be better on land.

Lacuzay Alternate Upgrade. Corrupted Leviathan
Some Leviathans gets corrupted when comming to our to Ashan. They turn in to black, monstrous beasts.
The Corrupted Leviathans has a dark scale and a black flame on its back. It has a red glow in its mouth and eyes.
Some think they are demons becuase they even breath fire. Other say that it is the Tideguadrs of Chaos who has corrupted them because they are used by the tideguards.
But one think is for sure, where a Corrupted Leviathan comes, doom comes.

Battle Frenzy: Every next retaliation strike performed by this creature inflicts damage 1.5 times as great than the previous one.
The retaliation multiplier is reset when the creature acts.
Massive Flame Beam: Same but fire and the burned effect.
Yes it is hard too say who the lacuzays look like. But think this beast with tentacles instead of pinnas. This is an Ancient Lacuzay. Just add the tentacles!
Town, The Queraz
The Queraz means something that his very holy in the naga language. The Querazes are hidden on the sea floor. This allows the naga to build their towns in the sea.
But how can allies breath in the naga town then? Well, this problem was fixed long long ago when the Quotls and other creatures could not breath underwater so they created an magical bubble around their cities so allies and creatures could breath underwater.
Quotls can of course breath underwater now when times of war lies ahead (Quotls breath with the help of magic).
But the bubble or shield can also be actived to create an great defense around the Querazes.
When the shield is activared none enemy thats attacking will be able to use magic, only the defenders.
This also blocks the way in for enemy flyers.
The naga towns are almost always built on ancient sunken ruins so there are a lot of secret escape passages from the town.
And with some extra effort the naga can fill the battlefield with water when enemies attack.
The Naga towns has many great temples and coral mountains. Its beautyful to look out from the shield, se all fishes and corals hwile sun light up the deep.
In the naga town the buildings are white and large. Everywhere you can find altars and other holy places.
In the center of the town great spires have been built that sometimes even stretch up to the surface.
Yes the naga towns are rich and alive but this makes the buidligs in it very expensive, so you should always check your economy before you build something great.

Well, this isnt very impressive but it proabably just an small settlement or an village hall. Maybe not even that. It could be some ruins that the naga has start build on.
But this town will soon be much greater and more impressive!

I think its pretty obvious that this kraken has not eat for a very, very long time. No, our krakens are starving, they are a lot smaller then this one.
Heroes of the Naga, Priestesses
The Priestesses of Shalassa, have not always led the naga. Long ago when the naga were known as the Anava the males ruled their lands. When the anavas home sunk down to the ocean the Priestesses took their chance to bring supreme female power into the world.
They didnt transform the males into the naga, they left them drowning. In thousands of thousands of years the Priestesses should rule. The Priestesses still lead, they rule from the Eye to the Golden Blade. The Priestesses use magic and are not so skilled in melee combat, but when war calls they can be both dangerous when carryingen a sword or an magical orb.
There is one major thing that is diffrent between priestesses and other naga, they are blessed by Shalassa.
Because of this they have transformed again. The Priestesses wear golden crowns and has an blueish scale, unlike the other naga who has a more dark or pink skin/scale.
The Heroes of the Naga.
This section only shows campaign heroes.
Spell Queen Azanoráz
Azanoráz is the both beloved and hated naga queen. The most people say they love her, but in truth all know that she is an cruel Strom Witch. From her great palace of Shavalazia she fights The Eye in order to get power, or The Eye fights her.
Azanoráz executes whoever who fails her so no of her servants, or slaves can really dont do anything wrong if they dont want to get executed. Many think that the one who calls the naga, and has awoken them from the sea has cursed her.
For just some hundred years ago she was much more loved by her people and was not the evil witch she is now.
Speciality:
Witchqueen.
Strom Witches growth doubles. Stats also doubles.
Vanoras
Vanoras is one of the highest ranked members of the Council and stands very close to the Spell Queen Azanoráz.
She is one of the few priestesses who pratice in melee combat. Vanoras was born underwater but this doesnt mean that she cant fight on the surface. Vanoras can also be called battlemage and should never betrayd her queen.
Speciality:
Succesful Commander.
Creatures in Vanoras army can never get lower moral and luck than 2.
Shaliariz
Shaliariz is the daugther of the naga queen, but her heart and loyality belong to The Eye. Many call her the choosen of Shalassa as she has great skills in magic. Those who fight for her does never give up and Shaliariz has the power to always has a chance to win, even with the smallest army. Shaliariz is the one the naga hopes to be their next queen and lead them to victory.
She is one of the few who is against the invasion of Ashan, and does not feel called. Instead she strongly feel to fight against the one who has awaken her people.
Speciality:
Choosen.
This hero has a 25% chance to cast an level five spell each turn. The stats of all troops in her army is increases by 15%.
An Naga Priestess has just awoken from the ocean floor, the rise of the naga has come and the great invasion of Ashan begun.
In the background we can see the highest part of an naga queraz rising up from the ocean floor.
WARNING! There is currently no plans on an naga mount, but it is possible that an giant land turtle will be their mount, for now the naga has just grown in size like the strom witch, slayer, mistress of doom and battlequeen.
Future Story
The Blademistress Vanoras is one of the first naga who felt that somebody called for them. She gathers a large group of naga and is ledding them to their new master.
But one the way she meets some wizards from the glorious Academy. The Master commands her to slay all of their troops and destriy their outposts and castles in the area.
She later finds the Master called Zhadrag, the Lord of the Tides. He is an drakonid, a kind of dragon that is two-legged and almost look like us humans, but with a more dragonic look.
He says that doom has come to ashan, and transform her into an dark, chaos naga. Her army also transform into the Tideguards of Chaos, the dark army of the naga.
The Naga Princess Shaliariz who has not been affected by Zhadrag led the leading group known as the Eye.¨
She wants to know who the dragon lord really is and why he wants to bring doom to the surface.
Vanoras is leading an attack against the nearby dwarven city of Stoneheim were many great factions of the surface has gathered to discuss.
Shaliariz cannot accept this and leads an attack on Vanoras dark army. But at the same time she is attacked by dwarfs, elves, humans, wizards and dark elfs from Stoneheim, she realises that she cannot attac´k them unless she wants more enemies.
Vanoras flees and Shaliariz is victorious. She gains an wood elf namned Navolas respect and she agrees to help them stop the invasion, because Shaliariz fears that her own mother will turn against her and that ancient horrors will awaken from the deepths...
With the help of the elves, they manage to drive back much of the chaos naga to the sea. But Zhadrag is angry, really angry. With a massive force of his own army, other drakonids and sea wyrms the princess is forced to flee.
Not even the elves can escape his wrath... The queen, Azanorás welcomes her daugther back to the capital, but she is not very friendly. In the capitol The Eye battles the queens forces and even the council, shalassas circle AND the golden blade.
Shaliariz kills Vanoras who has taken the lead of the council but the queens forces are massive. There is only one hope left.
If the enemy has rised an dark army from the deepths, why cannot they do the same?
The princess is forced to escape, Navoras defends the remaining forces of Stoneheim. Princess Shaliariz expalins that to summon the might Sea Dragons they much rebuild The Eye of Shalassa which requiers four artefacts. The Golden Soul, Heart of the Sea, Tear of the Wyrms and the Tear of Asha, which there are many of in the world of Ashan.
But Zhadrag also plans to rise the Sea Dragons, before Shaliariz and Navoras. He already has one artefact, Tear of the Wyrms which has allowed him to find the Sea Wyrms, Shaliariz knows that they dont stand a chance if he mutates and corrupt the wyrms.
To do this they must travel far north, to forgotten wastelands of Nordeon. Navoras sends out her son, Ranger Fandor from Irollan to with the help of the dwarves, steal the artefact.
But the dwarves are betrayders and take the artefact, they hid it under an enourmous mountain. But before the dwarves reach he underground the mountain clashes into the sea, and Fandor gathers the artefact.
The second artefact is in the Temple of Blessings, in the far east. Its the Golden Soul which is guarded by hordes of orcs. But Navoras, Shalariz and Fandor manages to lure the orcs into the undergroud and steals the artefact.
Hunted by the orcs they flee back to the sea, deep under the ocean the Heart of the Sea is hidden by the Sea Dragons themself.
But its to late, in some way Zhadrag has managed to corrupt some Sea Dragons, they must stop him before it is to late.
It seems that this will be the end. But suddenly the naga queen arrives, and now she is on their side.
Zhadrag is forced to flee, and gathers his remaining corrupted Sea Dragons, Krakens, Sea Wyrms, Drakonids and Chaos Naga to take the tear of asha.
But the queen already has it, and they must protect the capital from Zhadrag untill the Eye of Shalassa is complete.
Finally the Eye of Shalassa is almost complete when Zhadrag lauches an massive attack.
In some way Shaliariz sacrifices herself and activates the massive shield around the city. Empowred by the eye she summons the Sea Dragons. Its revelad that Zhadrag is the son of Shalassa but lost his power when sunk the anavas home into the deepths.
Zhadrag is destoryed by the dragons and the power of the eye and the naga people are free from his grasp.
So Zhadrag is the son of Shalassa and sunk the anavas (which later will become naga) into the deepths because he though that they had gone to far and soon could have powers like the dragons themself.
Rise of the Sea Dragons, the War of the Tides shall finally end.
I think that was all.
And yes the Refuge was my first entry ever ;P
