No you cant say that its unbalanced! ;P
I changed the stats of all creaturs except the quotl because i was lazy. I changed abilities (the siren/strom witch song was overpowered...) and even removed some (battle frenzy from slayer etc).
And the Levithan is hard to balance...

It's definitely better. But who would like to upgrade the Leviathan when he loses 2 speed in the upgrade?

I thinck it's time to give a second entry so il have a beter chanse to score some points
HISTORY
The origins
62YSD:The schism of the seven
During the debate on how to folow the road of the 7 dragon,one of them,Sar-Adin,belived that the seventh dragon had the element of magic and tock the ones that agread with him in the sea closest to the desert,because they belived that magick can take the form of water.
63YSD:The new home
After establishing a city rite above the water they begane to capture some sea creatures that heaven heard of only in myths and begane to study them.After a wile ,the wizards were shoket to see a mesenger come to them in theire capital they named the Al-Rubin.What was shoking was that the mesenger came from the sea and it vas a human like fish creature.It didn't take long for them to realize that the creature was Shalassas creation .He demanded that the wizard were to release the creatures or tey would sink the city to the botom of the ocean.
The meting
The wizards agread to release the creature with the condition to talck to theire leaders.The fish creature agread and a meating was set 50 leagues from the city.Nobody nows what discusion acured betwen Sar-Adin and Slithice(the naga quen) had but after wards it all became clear.Sar adim gave them a promise that he would give them the ability to walck on lands with the price of lusing theire ability to breave under whater for an aliannce betwen them and all the wizards of the Seven cities.Suprisinguly they agread desiering to walck on land and coexist with the oter races since theire birth.So the wizards use theire noledge in alchemy to combine them with lizards giving the birth of the naga.
Modern ages
771YSD:A new begining
The naga quenn leds Sar-Adins cities keeping theire existance a secret to the othere races.

The Tower
"...We have slept for two thousand years. And guess what world? We woke up cranky!"
Aka: The Sea-Snakes
City: Tower
Colors: Sea Green, Light Green, Dark Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Teal
Worship: Shallassa, patron Goddess of the Nagas, ruler of the Oceans. They also frequently find it necessary to pay tribute to Slyath, Lord of the Sky, rather like a guest giving gifts to a host.
Core Philosophy: "...It is in the waters that G'Ravity has the least power. It is in the water things are unhindered. In the water, things grow great..."
Country/Kingdom: Hashima
Capital: Nariya
Naga buildings: Towers have two possible build orders: One for the swamp, one for the sea/ocean. Towers are built with descending glass and steel tank-rings. Whenever a city levels up into the next ring, the player must decide to build either a swamp ring or an ocean ring. That ring can only build the related buildings. If a player chooses, they can replace the ring (either by flooding or draining it) though it is expensive. If an ocean level is followed by another, which is then drained for a swamp level, the dwellings relying on the ocean dwellings above will lose 25% of production. (Never less than one creature)
Creatures: Sea Build followed by Swamp.
Level 1:
Level 2:
Level 3:
Level 4:
Level 5:
Level 6:
Level 7:
Note: There are 4 possible upgrades for the School of Fish: 2 upgrades, and then depending on whether it is a swamp or sea level there is a different possible upgrade.
General stats: Naga units generally have
Average to High Attack
Low to Average Defense
Damage: All over the board
Initiative: High
Speed: Average
Health: Low
Mana: High
Shots: High
Growth: Low
Similar to the Dungeon, many Nagas have rather high stats, and thus their growth rate is low to compensate.
Racial Skill: Levitation: Most creatures move two dimensionally: Forward, backward, left, right. However, Nagas have perfected a way to move in three dimensions, which includes up and down. During a creatures turn, the player presses [SHIFT] in order to display the alternate, Ascended movement tiles. For each level of mastery, there is another movement level, which is higher, but the unit cannot move as far (-2 to speed, then - another per level (first 2, then 3, then 5, then 8))
If a player ascends a creature (I’m really sure I’ve explained this multiple times before) the creature cannot be attacked with melee attacks, barring Titans, Cyclops, or any other ridiculously tall creatures, or creatures that can fly. Shooters and Casters can attack it, and spells can be used. The creature can shoot or cast, and any creature that can attack over a long distance (spears, Dragon Breath) can hit one tile, beside or directly beneath them. It costs Mana.
Basic Levitation: Creatures gets +1 speed, and Creatures level 1-2 can be levitated 1 ascended level. Creatures can fly over small objects. Mana drain is creature level per creature level.
Advanced Levitation: Creatures gets +2 speed and Creatures level 1 - 4 can be levitated. Mana drain is creature level - 2 per creature level.
Expert Levitation: Creatures gets +3 speed, and Creatures level 1 - 6 can be levitated. Creatures can fly over castle walls, and be out of range of Titans, Baloths, Cyclops, etc. Mana drain is creature level - 4 per creature level.
Ultimate Levitation: Creatures gets +1 speed for every 7 hero levels, never less than +4. All Creatures can be levitated. Mana drain is creature level - 2 per creature level.
Admiral: Naga Hero
Focus: Attack, Knowledge
Heroes are either Nagas riding a Seahorse with the trident symbol beneath them, or Lizardmen riding Kelpies with the same symbol. There isn't a difference, it just adds variety. A town with more Swamp rings than Water rings is more likely to produce Lizardmen Heroes. More Sea Rings produces Naga Heroes.
[Sorry for the small creature tables, Photobucket auto resizes and, I only have Basic Alcing. If you know how to fix the problem, please tell me. If you want full resolution ones, please Email me. jeflin3@comcast.net ]

FOREWORD:
Well, sorry for the dealy. Got distracted latly by something else.. thus did not finish this up as well as I hope. Thus lacking the history or other info... (well, I am not good at writing lore anyhow)
Anyhow, this time is more as a guest entry. Its not thing too special or creative.. (thought I still like the flooding)... Its actually modificiation of my old idea.. found in this thread.
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=19699
Which is actually "born" from inspiration of Alc's aqua faction, and the Naga faction thread (that was running for a bit).
Try to balance it out a bit more, hopefully would be better. (as the old one is a bit overpowering ins certain units)
Well, it was fun. Hope to join more activity. Good Luck all.

They can resurface if take damage, use the resurface ability, attack or use ability, or if the water level drop. When resurface, they take longer (66% less of their initiative) to have its next turn.
Tidal Wave: (active ability) Cause Water damage to all enemy units, and cause a flood level of 2 for 1 turn.
Lasting Tide: Water level remain on battlefield one turn longer.
Gilled Lung: Target creature gain Aquatic stats for the next 3 turns.
Sea Guardian: Summon a Water elemental. Its stats improve according to the level of flooding currently on the field.

Two of Daystar's images don't work. They probably include the creatures line up and the creatures' abilities. I don't post the results of the round and of the contest until he fixes that, becuase it's just isn't fair for him to get a lower score just becuase images don't work. I'm sure you all can understand.

The Tower
This is a very exciting entry. I would like to leave a few comments.
Quote:
Naga buildings: Towers have two possible build orders: One for the swamp, one for the sea/ocean. Towers are built with descending glass and steel tank-rings. Whenever a city levels up into the next ring, the player must decide to build either a swamp ring or an ocean ring. That ring can only build the related buildings. If a player chooses, they can replace the ring (either by flooding or draining it) though it is expensive. If an ocean level is followed by another, which is then drained for a swamp level, the dwellings relying on the ocean dwellings above will lose 25% of production. (Never less than one creature)
This is a lovely idea - I think it will be a mess in terms of game-play, but wth, I love the way you've implemented it in the city designs through those rings.  I'm not sure I understand the interdependancy on the rings in the last thing you say - am I understanding you right, that if I build 3(Ocean) - 4(Ocean), and then drain 3(Ocean) -> 3(Swamp), then 4(Ocean) will lose 25 % of growth? And if that is the case, for how long will this last? I think it's an overly strict penalty, which I don't see the necessity of.
Quote:
Please get these images fixed - would love to see your creature suggestions! 
Quote:
Note: There are 4 possible upgrades for the School of Fish: 2 upgrades, and then depending on whether it is a swamp or sea level there is a different possible upgrade.
I'm not quite I understand this - what is this School of Fish? Is what you're saying simply that there will be 4 upgraded creatures at each level (Ocean1, Ocean2, Swamp1, Swamp2) - or is this refering to something else?
Quote:
Racial Skill: Levitation: Most creatures move two dimensionally: Forward, backward, left, right. However, Nagas have perfected a way to move in three dimensions, which includes up and down. During a creatures turn, the player presses [SHIFT] in order to display the alternate, Ascended movement tiles. For each level of mastery, there is another movement level, which is higher, but the unit cannot move as far (-2 to speed, then - another per level (first 2, then 3, then 5, then 8))
I don't understand these movement restructions! Please exemplify.
Quote:
If a player ascends a creature (I’m really sure I’ve explained this multiple times before) the creature cannot be attacked with melee attacks, barring Titans, Cyclops, or any other ridiculously tall creatures, or creatures that can fly. Shooters and Casters can attack it, and spells can be used. The creature can shoot or cast, and any creature that can attack over a long distance (spears, Dragon Breath) can hit one tile, beside or directly beneath them. It costs Mana.
Hmmm - this screams of abuse in creeping, but I suppose the Mana restriction will perhaps manage to outweigh this. We are talking mana/round, right? Because otherwise it would be out of control, but with a mana/round condition, it might work with proper balancing.
Quote:
Basic Levitation: Creatures gets +1 speed, and can be levitated 1 ascended level. Creatures can fly over small objects. Mana drain is creature level per ascension level.
Advanced Levitation: Creatures gets +2 speed, and can be levitated 2 ascended levels. Creatures can fly over large objects. Mana drain is creature level - 2 per ascension level.
Expert Levitation: Creatures gets +3 speed, and can be levitated 3 ascended levels. Creatures can fly over castle walls, and be out of range of Titans, Baloths, Cyclops, etc. Mana drain is creature level - 4 per ascension level.
Ultimate Levitation: Creatures gets +1 speed for every 7 hero levels, never less than +4. Creatures have unlimited flight, and creatures that already had flight get battle dive. Mana drain is 1 (or 2 for large creatures, 3 for giant creatures) per level.
I'm not sure I see the necessity of THAT many levels of acendance. Wouldn't it be sufficient to have only two levels - ground level and sky level - and let you mastery of Levitation control which units can Levitate? Basic = level 1-2; Advance = level 1-4; Expert = level 1-6; Ultimate = level 1-7. Very similar to Gating. I think this would make it easier to use during game (5 levels will be completely confusing!). Maybe I've missed some point, but what do you gain from ascending to level 4 rather than level 2? If you et immunity to shots or attacks, then it reaks overpowered anyway, so good riddance ...
Also, Ultimate Levitation in your suggestion seems overpowered.

Also, I agree about ascension, I will fix that.

It really is a nice faction, though. Three things. One - you seem to lack a racial history, though that's only a minor thing I guess. Two - none of us are able to see the missing images. Try uploading them to Photobucket and using the direct links to display them here. Using the picture URLs tells me that the page doesn't exist. Three - what about the Naga hero? What will it be called, what are its stats and how about some names?
Just my opinions.
EDIT: Daystar has fixed the images, so I retract number 2. Thanks Daystar.
EDIT 2: Daystar has either added the Admiral hero or I didn't see it there before, so I take back number 3 as well.

Do you want me to give you a few more hours to discuss about things?
I can recheck the entries in a few hours and then post it. Is that okay with you?
Edit: Daystar, the pictures still don't work. Cepheus is right - upload them via PhotoBucket, like you did with the rest.

I just meant creature growth boost buildings. Eg, Treasure Cave of the Academy. Other buildings remain unaffected.
