Now the Banshee looks a lot like the Wraith 
You could've used a darker, deeper color for blue 
Well yes, what I did was just a simple colour inversion to show that it could look better. In fact, it does not look that much like the Wraith, at least the picture on AOH shows the Wraith to have much darker green colours on the robe (see below), and of course there's also a huge difference in the model: Scythe vs. Axe (?), Visible vs. Invisible face, glow of hands etc.

Yes, in fact you might be right on that. Too bad, I thought the new thing looked really cool.

now that we know the dungeon abilities...
invisibility is (like I said before) a hit&run festival(overpowered),
creeping will be even more easy for dungeon
acidic blood = some different sort of fire shield
incinerate - greatly increases damage but although I'm sure most of you will disagree I still favor the black.
ride by attack<< rider charge
I have a question regarding incinerate - "The ability can only be used on a target that stands close to the Dragon" - how can a dragon attack a target which isn't close??

There is a subtle difference: Fireshield damage depends on strength of Attacker (returns X % of damage done by attacker). Acidic Blood depends on strength of defender (returns 25 % of damage Hydra would do on attack).

You are right Alcibiades, but when I said it I was thinking more in terms of concept than effects.

Would be interesting to do a detailed comparison of the alternatives now we actually know the new abilities (save perhaps a few datails).

well yes, but it is still unclear. for example, while in these abilities is written lich has sth which damages units surrounding her, on mightandagic.com there's nothing about it.

Fire breathe attacks also creature behind dragon's target, so only the target will be affected by Incinerate...

I don't think this is the right interpretation of the text. I don't know, but I feel quite certain that the Dragon will only be able to target a neighboring unit with Incinerate, and thus can't move and use the ability at the same time.

Now I get it, thanks alcibiades, that sounds logical and not so overpowered, I'm starting to wonder if we were right when we(the community) considered most of the units overpowered.

I agree, actually. At first, it did look very powerful, but in fact, I'm not sure this is so much better than the normal Firebreath (potential double attack) as to lable it overpowered. I might have got the details wrong, of course, this is just my interpretation, but personally I think it does sound both reasonable and useful.

Here is academy`s alternative. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1851065692/m/9991073665
As I though Nival didn`t work hard with wizards  NOTHING special. Look at storm lord- everything they did is replacement "call lighting" into "call storm". Of course collosus was painted on green and now we have storm lord( isn`t the same name as in fortress lvl6 creature ? )
Djinies are worse than before, gargoyles also.
The only interesting altenative is golem.
Also Combat Mage ( what a stupid name !! ) may be interesting if we will know what is eldritch aura.
Comparing these alternative with others ( Sylvan , Dungeon ) there is nothing amazing.
