Actually in my game it has a model, but can't show you now, because it only appears on generated map and it's not possible to put it with map editor. (Ofcousre it doesn't look like fire lake, more like a strange building, something like obelisk)
P.S.: Will anyone answer to my first question?

couple of questions.
1. is it possible to add more than one specialization per hero? So far i've only been able to add avatar of death as a second(as a spell). but i cant get any others to work.
2. is it possible to speed up/or replace the attack animation of the ranger shooting the bow? it drives me nuts.
Last, i just want to say a big thank you to sfidanza for the combined ToTE campaign.

It seems that nobody answers the questions here. But still:
Is it possible to add a new dwelling? (I.e. for neutral creatures)

It is. Check out the MapObjects\(faction) folders in data.pak and work from there.

Yep, you can do that very easily in the Game Editor. Let me know if you want more details. Or you could use the casting one instead for example. The Ranger would still have to shoot something though.

I would be glad to if I knew the answer... but I don't. Sorry about that.

Hmm I think BJ mean dwelling for creatures like the Mummy of the wolf. You cant create new model for it and you cant put it in...

Well no, you can't make new models, but you could make something pretty good with effects. And you can sure put it into the game or Editor (the NCF guys are working on that right now).

How do you get a creature as a hero? I mean, I have the look of the creature, but it have no anim. When it attacks, it just stand there. And when it moves, it is just like the demon sovereign

Okay, here is a tutorial on speeding up hero / unit animations. You could also change Alaric's walking anim to his running one, but that's another tutorial altogether.
First, you must upgrade the Map Editor to the Game Editor. This is easy, just enter your TotE profiles directory (should be C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\profiles) and open the file named editor_a2.cfg. It can be opened with Notepad, Wordpad or whatever.
This is what the file should look like:
See "setvar map_editor_mode = 1"? Change that line to "setvar map_editor_mode = 9". This will allow you to use more advanced properties in the Map Editor. Now save the file and open up your TotE map editor.
This is the screen you will be faced with. Open that Game Database window - it should appear on the left side of the screen - and then enter Resource/Select Tables by pressing Ctrl + T.
Scroll down to "CharacterView" and tick the checkbox.
Now click OK and, at the top of the Game Database Window, select CharacterView:
Congratulations, you've gotten past the monkey work. Now here's the fun stuff. Navigate through these menus and find the hero / creature you want to speed up. Double-click their name in the list to open the 3D animations viewer:
There's four buttons in the top right corner. The first one plays all of Alaric's animations in succession. The next will play his default standing still animation so that he looks less like a stone statue. The next stops whatever he's doing, and Global Move, when turned off, will make him stay where he is when his animations are playing i.e. not moving across the "map".
See the "speed" tab next to each animation's name? Bingo, that's what you're looking for. Click the speed tab next to "Move" and set the value higher to increase the anim's speed - for example, at 2.000, his movement will be twice as quick as before. When replacing the value, be sure to press "Enter" so that it is applied.
Play back the animations each time you increase the speed value to see whether or not you're happy with the change. When / if you think the changes are good and Alaric is moving fast enough, make them permanent by trying to exit the Editor and saying OK when asked to save.
If you aren't happy with the changes you've made, you can always use the same steps and restore / change Alaric's animation speed again.
Man, being pedagogical is such hard work.

Cute, but you have forgotten one thing. Increasing animation speed won't make something moving faster.
1 <MovementSpeed>5.7</MovementSpeed>
2 <SpeedFactor>1.2</SpeedFactor>
These two values in a move animation file determine:
1) how fast creature is actually moving
2) how fast moving animation is played
Hope you get it.

I haven't forgotten that. Try my method and note that both the speed of the animation is increased and / or decreased when the value for an animation's speed is changed.

I can't believe you guys don't test things ingame but in the editor.
You need to synchronize both. That's my word, take that in your closed hearts

No Radar. I have tested it in both the game and the editor before and I have just tested it in both again. Alaric's animation speed is undeniably increased when I alter the value in the Game Editor and save the changes.
EDIT: Hold on a second, I think I know where this is coming from. You're talking about how fast the thing actually travels along the map / battlefield, not how fast the animation is going, right? That's a very different kettle of fish.
Seraphim said the movement in Alaric's animation was too slow...
EDIT 2: So for reference, if you are trying to change Alaric's travel speed...
Open data.pak with WinRar, navigate to data.pak\Characters\Heroes\DS and open the file named Alaric_DS_U-adv-move.xdb. There you'll see the values
<MovementSpeed>1.1759</MovementSpeed>
<SpeedFactor>1</SpeedFactor>
"Movement speed" affects the speed at which the hero physically travels across the battlefield, adventure map etc, or the distance they cover over time.
"Speed Factor" affects the speed at which the hero's animation moves: a lower value means that the hero will practically walk, a higher one will speed up the animation and make the hero "run".
Increasing both values in necessary to make the hero move and travel faster ingame.
I hope that clears that up
