Oasis: Desert Theme
NECROPOLIS
Necropolis is formed by walking corpses and dead spirits summoned by powerful necromancers.The horrifing undead army is huge and grow after each battle.Their buildings are huge and inpenetrable,because undeads are restless and don't need to have breaks and eat.The actual undead empire is ruled by Necromancer Algar the horrorifing.
Advantages and Specials
1.Undead Units
Undead units don't need food,so any necropolis creature don't cost food,also they are immune to mind spells and venom.
2.Builder Souls
The undeads have 2 workers:Zombies and Ocultists.Zombies can gather resources,but Ocultists can summon souls who build undeads buildings.Souls aren't units,but they build,so Ocultist can be send to another duty and souls take the job,you can't control they,souls are like a spell,who summon the building.
3.Corpses
Undeads doesn't care about material of their buildings,so they use bones as substitute of wood,so zombies can collect materials from corpses,but there can find also money and from corpses collected by zombies give bonus to wood and gold.Also,necromancers and lichs summon skeletons from corpses and other undead beasts consume corpse for regeneration.
4.Venom Generators
Undeads are immune to venom,but living creatures no,so they cover their lands in venom clouds who damage the enemies.Undeads can build venom generators who can cover an area in venom clouds,more generators,more defense.Venom Clouds deal 1damage/2 seconds.
5.Excavations
Undeads can summon any corpse,so fosilissed creatures are quite useful,they're are strong and can be found in ground.Ocultists can explore a area and search it for dinosaur skeletons.After that,zombies can build on that area an excavation ground,zombies can put the skeleton on the surface and a group of 3 necromancers can summon a dinosaur skeleton,without time limit!This is a great advantage,it's not expensive,but dinosaur skeletons are very rare.

Are you planning on having 'ages' this time, because if not, why not scrap the Hunt Camp, and stick the hunters into the Archery Range? I also think that you need to be a bit more flexible with the dwellings, for example, Haven would probably only have a Barracks (trains infantry and archers, just can't do both at the same time), Fort (or 'Castle', trains Knights, unless you can come up with a second cavalry unit) and somewhere for Gryphons. Priests would be trained Churches (replace Praystones), with Angels being recruited at Cathedral (an upgraded/rebuild Church).
You also may want to think about adding a Siege Workshop, unless you can construct War Machines at a Blacksmith.

these are common buildings,but every race have special name for it,praystone is for mana,spellcaster can recover mana faster if they use a praystone.Hunt Camp is used for food gather from wild animals.Also fort is different,each race have a name for it(human:castle,undead:necropolis etc.)Tha haven will have:
-Barracks:trains infantry
-Archery Tower:trains ranged units
-Fort=Castle:train special units,knights
-Bastion:Griffins

Nevertheless, not every faction is going to get every building, because unless you switch creatures around Sylvan, Necro. and Inferno won't get a Stable for instance.

Cool Idea but maybe not Age of Heroes because that is already the name of a heroes site.
And it looks to much like warcraft 3!
