The first dragon to seed the world created by Asha with theire creations was Shalassa.Unlike the other dragons,her creations populated the sea insted of the land.The race was caled the sirens,formed of half human half fish creatures.For reasons only Shalasa nows she made the male and femel almoast completuly diferent.The male Were closer to the sea being able to comunicate with the creature that reside in the deps and gane some of theire abilitys,wile the wemen were closer to Shalassa,having 6 arms and a beter understanding of magic.In the sea thei formed a peacefu and educated sosiety tha stayd hiden from the other races,in an endles search of noledge and power.But somehow Urgash(the dragon of chaos)discoverd the peceful sirens and saw in them a powerful ally.By coropting theire leaders ofering to share his noledge to them,he manage to transform theire people into snake people and raised theire citises to the surface.Should have he sucseded the sirens would have becomed mindles slaves to Urgash.But Shalassa maneged to intervine in stoping the spell from corupting theire minds,and stopet some of the transformations to take place.The males have becomed human-like snaks,wile the wemen had theire tail replaced from a fish to a siren.So came the birth of the naga.In time thei become use to living at the surface and explored the new land that becomed theire home.Altough not being able to breave under water thei were stil able to swim and started to explore the nerby lands.In theire explorationc thei discoverd that the lands closest to them was an endles desert were they met the mages and quickly became allys do to theire comon desire for noledge.Becase thei didn't now wich dragon transformed them thei stayd hiden to the other races until the day tey will get there reveng.[to be conyinued]

Don't be so sure about that.
Every competitor gets points in the final round.
If there are 7 competitors, the 1st place will get 7 points, and the last place will be 1.
So it's pretty open.
Edit:
Wow, Xerox, your faction is really impressive! Great job with that.
Your creatures are great, especially the descriptions.
Just find some better names for some creatures, like Giant Turtle.
Naga Siren can be changed to Siren, and Naga Storm Witch can be changed to Strom Witch.
The 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th level creatures have good names, though.

Nice ^^
Thanks! I plan to complete the creature list tonight and maybe polish it tomorrow.
The Tank Turtle sounded weird so i changed it something thats maybe even weirder. Behold the Siege Walker! ;P
Still a lot things to do. The Lacuzay namn may be changed so people really know what it is (Lacuzay is a name i maked up in 10 seconds).
But it dont wanna use names like sea dragons, levithans and sea wyrms etc. Too many people already use them.
And the Lacuzay looks almost like an " monster whale" with tentacles...
Things to do:
Heroes
Racial Skill
Balance Creatures
Future Story, what will happen with the naga.
Town (underwater town).
Buildings
Maybe i will replace the lvl 1 creature if i find something.
Primiary Skills but i dont really understand this. I cannot think of any faction that has like an unique leadership skill etc
But i will try.
Bonuses:
Find some nice "rise of the naga" screenshots.

Well, if you at the skill chart on Age of Heroes, you'll see that each secondary skill (such as leadership, attack, etc.) has 3 abilities that are open for all factions. Then, according to it's piorities, each faction has 1 or 2 - never more - abilities that are not open for all factions. These last abilities are never available for more then 3 different factions. Some are especially unique for one faction, but most aren't.
That's pretty much the system I used for my faction. I suggest you try to take some already existing skills that are not already used by 3 factions, and then think of 2 or 3 new ones.
Nice work so far, by the way!

Okey thanks! ^^
I already have plans for an War Machine ability (which is mentioned in the creature list) for the turtles.
Creature List complete. Will balance it soon
All buildings complete and town description.
Anf finally the Giant Turtle name was changed to, Battle Turtle ;P
But seriously i cant come up with any other names for it and battle is not same as war, war is much much bigger.
well, i have tried to balance my faction now.
The Slayer, Mistress of Doom and Battlequeen will probably be removed. They look to much like the rakshasas.
I think draconids will replace them (a kind of dragon).
The Racial Skill and the other skills are added.
They will be improved, later.
And the lvl 6 creature will be changed tomorrow.
Skills and Racial Skill is done, beware of the kraken!

OK.then this is (hopefuly) the last post related to this version
RACIAL SKILL
the racial skill will be caled elemental blesing.It is going to be similar to elemental chains but it concerns spell.It goes like this in the tactical faze before the batle the lamia(naga hero) can bles all her creatures with 1 element that depending on skill will increase its efect(fire-damage)(water-armor)(earth-health)(air-initiativ).In order to use it you must give some recorses or the efecs wil be partial and those afected wil be randomly selected.It also reduces the efect of certain spels spels that wil be given an element(distructive not included).Its associated ability's wil include an elem vision for spells, sea traveling(with out ships),a permenant extra initiative,and an increase of the preveos.
BUILDINGS
the buildings will be azeteck oriented (like the H3 Fortres) the upgreades of the dwelings will iver be golden with sun related pictures or blue fith statues of Shalasna.The magic buildings will be the comon mage guilds that wen fuly upgreaded fill forme a big o,
a building to reduce the cost of elem blesing(acumulative),a building to increase magic resistance by 10% and an upgreade that increase by an extra 10% a building to increase speed and one to increase initiative.the grail builbing wil be a library that will have a magic aura and beside the extra recorces and groth will increas noledge and spell power by 5.
You may have noticest that there are a lot of initiativ and speed
increasing abilitis.That is becaus the naga are going to BY FAR ,the slowest civilizationof the game.
And i thinck that's all.Enithing else i mised.

Well, since GenieLord wanted me to enter this round. . .This is just for fun.
I also took the nagas on a different path: my nagas are peaceful pacifists who only fight when endangered or provoked. They also look more like the Zoras from the Legend of Zelda series. I also apologize if the names sound stereotypical and if the racial seems like everyone else's: it was what I came up with. Just to clear a few things up.
Depth:
AKA: Nagas
Alignment: Neutral
Associated Colours: Sea blue and light green
Worship: Shalassa, dragon of water
Core Philosophy: "To live an eternity alone. . .is what we desire."
Core Philosophy: "The true strength of the world is the sea."
Country/Kingdom: They have control over the seas, although since most think the nagas are extinct, they are unaware of the nagas' strength. They particularly dwell in the Savage Sea and the Jade Ocean.
Capital City: Cawn, located deep in the Savage Sea.
Rival: None, since nagas are thought to be extinct.
Key Symbols: Trident, wave
Magic Schools: Destructive (primary), Dark (secondary)
Native Terrain: Water
History:
512 YSD- Creation of Beast-men
Beast-men (minotaurs, centaurs, harpies…) are created as servants, playthings, and guards in the Seven Cities. Their stated purpose is to replace orcs.
519 YSD- Rebellion of the Beast-men
Beast-men staged an open rebellion and killed numerous soldiers from both the Holy Griffin Empire and the Seven Cities. Half of the centaurs escape to the plains of Ranaar, while the other half flee with the harpies into the canyons. Medusas make their way to the unclaimed undergrounds with the minotaurs. Lizardmen have called the swamplands their new home. The other beast-men haven’t been seen since.
520 YSD-Pursuit
Most of the nagas have made it to the oceans, along with the mermaids that have allied with them. However, most of the nagas are hunted down by the pursuing wizards, hoping to reclaim them. Only a few nagas manage to make it to the sea, in a wounded condition. The wizards doubt they would've survived, but unbeknownst to them, they survive by praying to Shalassa, who healed them and allowed them to live in her oceans.
525 YSD-Cawn's Construction
The capital of the naga society is constructed deep on the floors of the Savage Sea. It is named Cawn, the naga word for "blessed." Shalassa allies some of the deep sea's creatures, the sea turtle, krakens, and coultalique with the nagas.
574 YSD-Discovery of Terraform
Several mermaids discover a form of magic that transforms land into water while escaping capture from pirates. The nagas start immediate practice of this magic, should they someday be forced onto land.
Culture and Society:
Like all beastmen, nagas have the characteristics of humans and animals: with the nagas, they have the fangs and tongue of a snake; fins, tail, and scales of a fish; and the body structure of a human. Their feet and hands are all webbed, although the hands don't have as much webbing as the feet. Being the only humanoid race capable of living underwater, they often eat fish, seaweed, and whatever else the aquatic species happen to feast on.
Nagas are talented in magic, which is evident in their unique ability to transform the environment to their liking. Since nagas can't live on land for very long, despite their human blood, they usually change the land to sea water, allowing them to live longer. Although they don't normally go to land, they practice this form of magic should the situation arise.
Due to their aquatic traits, as well as complete lack of contact among the other races, nagas are a relatively peaceful race, if a bit naive. They don't attack frequently, unless they are threatened, and even then, they attack enough so that the attacker goes away for good. Nagas have their own language, but can only speak that since they have no interaction with the common tongue.
As far as culture goes, nagas are fairly diplomatic. Everyone lives their own life without a governor. Only when it comes to battle, do they have strict regulations, and are led by an experienced general. Women often take higher careers than men do when it comes to either magic or the military.
Relations with Other Towns:
Academy: Nagas live long lifespans, and remember the cruelty the wizards of the Silver Cities have done to them.
Dungeon: The dark elves share the same enthusiasm of the seas that their forest relatives have, which isn't much. The nagas have not made contact with the dark elves because of this.
Haven: Nagas have often been mistaken for mermaids, but that's about all the humans have seen in regards to nagas.
Necropolis: Although the Necromancers have plans to reap undead from the seas, they're focusing on dominating the land above before they turn their eyes to the ocean. Because of this, nagas have never heard of the necromancers.
Sylvan: Elves generally stay close to their forests, if they ever leave the forests at all. They also don't go onto the seas often enough to even catch sight of one, so it's suffice to say that elves and nagas have had no contact at all.
Inferno: The demons tend to avoid water, preferring to burn everything on Ashan into charred remains. Because of this, nagas and demons have yet to meet.
Fortress: Dwarves very rarely use the seas, so no contact has been established between the two races.
Bastion: Although the orcs and the nagas have a good chance of getting along well because of their roots as creations from the wizards, their habitats of land and underwater shoals prevent them from interacting.

Town Specialties: (In progress)
Cawn (Capital): 5% bonus to the Ocean Tower
Bio: After many cities were constructed by the nagas for a capital, Cawn was proven to be their holy place, as it was blessed by Shalassa herself in improving the towers that aid their unique magical practices.
Building Analysis:
One unique trait of all Depth towns is the fact that they can originate on water; they are the only town type that can. When this happens, the hero already starts on a boat and the town is very likely to have a Shipyard already built.
Hero Type: Geomancer
Steed: Nagas are similar to the Demon Lords in that they don't ride steeds, but not because they don't fit. They just don't have anything to ride while on land.
Trail: A long stride of sea water follows the hero. It grows in strength as the army does, and small fish can be seen jumping out from it.
Racial: Terraform
Basic: Can turn 20% of battle arena into ocean terrain, regardless of actual form.
Advanced: Can turn 30% of battle arena into ocean terrain, regardless of actual form.
Expert: Can turn 40% of battle arena into ocean terrain, regardless of actual form.
Ultimate: Can turn 50% of battle arena into ocean terrain, regardless of actual form.
Terraform In-depth:
Since a good majority of the nagas' potential lies in the sea, and not all maps are sea oriented, the Terraform racial skill is intended to help compensate for this.
At the beginning of each week, each naga hero gains a number of "ocean mana," which is similar to the Dark Energy the necromancers use to resurrect creatures with Necromancy, to convert a portion of land into ocean. Any creatures with the Swimmer ability instantly gain boosts to their initiative and speed stats, and with skills under Terraform, their other stats increase as well.
Terraform works only in battle, but can be used at any point in the battle, and remain for the battle's duration.
Ocean Mana is recharged only at the start of each week, and with only a certain amount of Ocean mana (based on the level of knowledge the hero has), it needs to be preserved for battles. Another note is that the amount of ocean mana spent depends on the size of creatures in the army: if any are 2x2 sized, then 10 Ocean Mana needs to be cast, while all small creatures need 5 ocean mana.
If your hero is on a boat, then Terraform does not need to be cast.
Land transformed into ocean is always on the side of the hero and his creatures.
Other skills with Terraform:
Rainfall: If Ocean Mana was spent during the battle, the hero has a chance reclaiming the spent mana. Chance and amount recovered depend on hero level and proficiency with Terraform.

I wouldn't want to see a sea turtle as the 7th level creature, though.

Basicly you can.
They will be reviewed separately and you will be able to get points only for the one with the higher mark. You won't get points for two entries; only for one, this why I recommend you to focus on one entry.

What would you imagine as a 7th level creature? I picture the sea turtle as an enormous tank like creature. If your suggestion makes more sense though, I'll change it.

Sea turtles may have great defense & they are hulks.
I think it needs to be known that you do not have to be big & strong looking to be a 7th.
Sea Turtles are not that strong as well as i can imagine faster troops.

I just mean that see turtle doesn't sound that strong, and it's quite hard to imagine it as 7th level creature. It's like having a Squire as 7th level creature of Haven. The Sea Turtle might be a lower level creature, maybe 3rd level creature.
