Are we limited to the themes already set down, or are we allowed to use any theme we wish (so say Haven is chinese)?
Oh, and we know some basic about the town buildings Nightterror, we're allowed only 4 special buildings, but only two can be built at any one time.

I may join as well, but as it will take quite a lot of time to come up with a good suggestion given the requirements (and I don't exactly have much of it), it might take a while.

Even though I was never a fan of Haven (the monotony of almost only human units being present there) I am quite happy with the H6 Haven lineup; I would make a few modifications though, so here they are:
CORE: Pikeman/Praetorian, Archer/Crossbowman, Warhound/Imperial Hound
ELITE: Griffin/Imperial Griffin, Priestess/Vestal, Sun Rider/Sun Crusader
CHAMPION: Angel/Archangel (or could be Seraph, I don't care about the name)
As you can see, I have moved the Priestess to Elite(replacing Radiant Glory) and placed the Imperial Hound in Core(to make the ratio of humans to other creatures at least 5:2 instead of 6:1)
HOWEVER
I like the idea of Radiant Glory, and wouldn't want to leave it out, therefore, I'd place a special building(Temple of Light for example) to make them recruitable as bonus magical creatures/spirits (just like it was done with the Portal that allowed recruitment of Elementals in H4 Nature) So in the end Haven would have 8 units available(but only 7 army places, of course). To balance everything out, I might include some special/additional creatures in the next factions in consequtive rounds

here's my haven shot
Core:
Crossbowman -> Widowmakers
Recruited from a number or realms within the empire, the crossbowmen form the ranged corp of the infantry. Armed with the traditional crossbow, their job is to rain shafts down on their enemies with the fury of their god. The Widowmakers are the more experienced members of the corps, capable of shoting twice the amount of shots to make their enemies fall and their loved ones to weep.
Defender -> Sentinels
The Defenders holy duty is the defense of the people and the faith of the imperial throne and the imperial church. Drawn from the sacred basilicas and cathedrals, these warrior monks, armed with enormous sheilds and spears, defend the empire at any cost. The unspeaking, humourless sentinels take this one step further, and are under a special spell to defend holy ground till the last.
Galants -> Crusaders
The Galants of the empire are the dashing and fearless nobles, charming to the ladies, not so charming to each other. Following a strict, and often confrontational, code of honour, the Galants are expert duelists with their two-handed swords, happy marching into battle, knowing that they shall come back to nights of passion. Crusaders are the older, more experienced members of the class, having been ordained with specially blessed swords to dash the souls of the unclean from this realm.
Elite
Griffon errant -> Griffon knight
The Griffons are rare and territorial beasts, incredibly dangerous and highly suspecious of humans. Rarely, however, a griffon can respect a few humans, often either raised of cared for by those who have lost loved ones during wars. Griffon errant are the unofficial flying attack force of the empire, made up of strong hearted women upon even stronger steeds. The griffon knights are those deemed worthy by the king to knight, giving them access to much needed armour and weaponary.
Cavalier -> Paladin
The powerful Cavaliers ride into battle, members of noble houses poised to do battle with their enemies, utop powerful white chargers, clad in personal coats of arms, weilding bone-crushing lances. Paladins are specially chosen by the theocrats, carrying lances forged in holy fires and riding stallions bred of the finest stock, bound to the spirit of the empire itself.
Inquisitor -> Blessed Inquisitor.
The imperial church is not a pascifistic affair, and even the higher eclesiasts must still prove their metal on the battlefeild. The Inquisitors stride into battle, forming holy glyphs from sacred texts whilst muttering purging hymns, smiting the enemy dead even before they can taste the steal of their hammers. The blessed inquisitors, having taken a special ritual where they bath in the tears of martyrs, are able to summon cherubs into battle, the tiny holy mites serving their masters well.
champion
Angel -> Archangel
sometimes children go missing within the empire. most of the time they get lost in the woods, never to return, and others are spirited away by demons and witches. However, some are found in an old abandoned church, their bodies transformed and their eyes opened, dancing lights surrounding them, with glorious golden-white wings hoisting them into the sky. They become the gracious protectors of their families, homes and their kingdon, some even being ordained as Saints within the empire. The Eldest of these children are scarcely human, but living embodiements of their powerful deity, able to absolve and smite enemies with a thought.

Here's mine: (work in progress)
Core
Spearmen > Skirmisher
Bio
* Unlike regular soldiers, these irregulars - pressed into service in times of need - are forced to buy their own armour and weapons, and since many are poor farmers or craftsmen such items that are acquired are generally of poor quality.
* The lowest of the permanent soldiers, these troops are nevertheless better equipped and trained than most irregulars, and as such are used to wear down the enemy with ceaseless raids in small numbers.
Abilities
* None
* Shooter, No Melee Penalty
Watch Dog > War Dog
Bio
* Keen minds in the empire have noted that while men make proficient soldiers, hours of guarding a single spot can wear down even the finest of troops, and so for those places that need guarding, but which would require an extensive number of troops to combat boredom, dogs were trialled, and found to quite efficient.
* Noting the efficiency of dogs as guards, some officers decided to armour the beasts and send them into battle. Of course, while the inability to hold a sword or spear was something of an imposition, the dedication to the fight, and the fact that animals don't need to be payed overcomes such disadvantages, at least in the eyes of the clerks forced to balance the army's budget.
Abilities
* Enraged
* Enraged, Bravery
Healer > Chaplain
Bio
* A wounded soldier is an inefficient soldier, and so every effort has been made to deal with wounds as quickly as possible, especially in the area of healing magic. The lightly armoured but dedicated men who wield this power to close wounds and mend broken bones are a wounded soldier's best friend.
* Oh course, some healers join the corps not to help their fellows, but to further their own aims, and healing magic is just the first step on the journey. Those who wish to go further, to reach greater heights, become Chaplains, and are oft-rewarded for their dedication.
Abilities
* Healer (2 hp/unit) [heals other creatures or themselves], Caster (Cleansing, Basic, allies only)
* Healer (2 hp/unit), Caster (Cleansing, Advanced; Endurance, Basic; Divine Strength, Basic)
Elite
Bio
Legionnaire > Sentinel
* The very backbone of the Imperial armies, these well armed and armour troopers cut a swathe through the enemy.
* Even more heavily armed and armoured than the Legionnaires, these elite troopers are only committed in the more necessary circumstances, but when they are committed, they can turn the tide of battle.
Abilities
* Shield Wall
* Shield Wall, Shield Allies, Armoured
Gryphon > Battle Gryphon
Bio
* Created from magic in time immemorial, these immense flying beasts have long been a part of the army of the Empire, where their cawing provides a modicum of confidence to the troops as they wheel over the battlefield, looking for a target.
* Propelling a body the size of the gryphon's into the air requires a lot of muscle, so a lot of them go into battle wearing only the lightest armour, which can have a calamitous effect on their survivability. As such, many trainers tend to seek out the strongest, most energetic gryphons, for while these beasts are often the hardest to train, this is generally well offset by their increased survivability due to the heavier armour they can drag into the air.
Abilities
* Large Creature, Flyer, Enraged
* Large Creature, Flyer, Enraged, Battle Dive
Cavalier > Cataphract
Bio
* Not every recruit is content to weary themselves with walking everywhere, and so, may of the sons of nobles forgo armour in favour of being able to afford a horse to carry them into battle.
* Veterans of many battles, Cataphracts are far more cautious than they once were, choosing not only to wear armour, but also to hurt the enemy as much as possible before charging in, and as such many carry a small but powerful bow as well as their other weapons.
Abilities
* Large Creature
* Large Creature, Shooter, Range Penalty
Champion
Angel > ArchAngel
Bio
* High servants to Elrath, these beings of light are almost the ultimate soldiers in the armies of the empire, bringing not only swift death to their enemy, but also Elrath's blessing to the soldiers on whose side they fight.
* Even more powerful than mere Angels, ArchAngels are noted for not only bringing Elrath's blessings, but also new life to those who have become martyrs to the empire.
Abilities
* Large Creature, Flyer, Caster ()
* Large Creature, Flyer, Caster (), Resurrect Allies
Oh, and just a couple more questions:
Are we allowed to post our hero stuff now?
Are we allowed to create a racial skill in the H5 style?
How do we work the cost/growth thing since the growth is across the entire tier, not just the unit?

Here is my entry. I hope it is good.
Haven
Haven is a faction of Holy Knights and Fanatic Follower of Elrath. They nature is Order and Lawful. They have the best defense tactical advantages compares to other in return of their lower damage output. But it is covered by their enhancing capability by their casters.
Line-up
CORE
Sentinel-Preatorian
Sentinel and Praetorian are the backbone of Haven's army. They are the ones fighting in the front line and defend other with their shield.
Appearance:
Not a single change from the current sentinel, in fact I like the Sentinel a lot, which maybe the best unit design of Haven IMHO.
Ability:
Sentinel:
- Large Shield (Passive): Reduce 25% range damage on self and adjescent unit.
- Armored (Passive): Reduce 10% melee damage
Praetorian:
- Larger Shield (Passive): Reduce 30% Range damage on self and adjescent unit.
- Armored (Passive): Reduce 10% melee damage
- Holy Shield (Passive): Reduce 30% Magic damage on self.
Strength: Great Def statistic, Great meat wall for range attacker and caster

Strength: Range attack, Anti-armored
Weakness: Low Def and HP, Low damage on melee
Priestess-High Priestess
Priestess and High Priestess are weak fighter but their role in supporting the army is critical in any Haven's army. Although they have rage attack capability but it is consider to be very minor in term of damage.
Appearance:
I just played Clash of Heroes and I think a Priestess with a hood and a staff with Haven's Sun symbol is great. So I will go with this one. The overall appearance is a combination of the current Sister-Vestal and hooded Priestess on Clash of Heroes, bearing the "Sun" Staff. The Priestess doesn't wear any hood, while the upgrade wears one.
Ability:
Priestess:
- Shooter {Trait): Creature do range damage

ELITE
Griffin-Imperial Griffin
The noble beast, tamed by the royal family, their battle dive is not to be underestimated. Fearless and powerful as Lion, Fast and Sharp as the Eagle.

The champion of the champion. Sun Rider and Sun Crusader expert on riding battle making them the best cavalier in entire Haven's Kingdom. Their steed called Virtue, the lower grade Virtue has appearance of normal white horse, but the high grade Virtues are blazing with light of Elrath, that they look like etheral Horse with fiery feels on it.
Appearance:
Just like the current Sun Rider and Sun Crusader but the unupgraded one doesn't ride spiritual horse, only the upgraded one rides the spiritual horse.

Haven's protector of faith. While they didn't have great combat capability, not even some range damage, but they have high defense and decent melee damage.

Old man with long white beard, in pope-like robes. The unupgrade version wears a hood while the upgraded version wears a tall hat the ones you usually see on Cardinal and Pope. The upgrade version has this "light" feel on him, with eye glowing a bright yellow light. Their weapon is a great large mace.

General Background
From Historia Ashani, by father Oswald of Vigil.
"We speak of the year 1000 after the Seventh Dragon. It has been several years since the prophecy of the Demon Messiah has come true. The spawn of Urgash have settled upon this world, destroying the Free Cities of the East. Carving out their hellish realm, the Demons have fallen to infighting. Every day refugees from the former Free Cities flock to the villages and cities of the Unicorn Empire. The priests of the Church of Elrath are trying to convert those refugees that are given asylum, but the Nobles have decreed that the Inquisition is to stay their hand. After Queen Freyda and her consort Duke Duncan have ascended the throne, the nobility have taken a firmer hand on the affairs of the Empire, further and further pushing the Church from these affairs. After the regrettable death of their mayesties Freyda and Duncan, their infant son Godric is king. Untill he is old enough to ascend the throne, the council of Dukes rules in his name. Each Duchy is represented in this council, each has sent their ruler or a person in their stead, even the refounded Falcon and Griffin Duchies. The Archbisshop of Talonguard is degraded to peacekeeper of these nobles. The council bickers and debates on all manner of things and only rarely agree with oneanother. Their few agreements can be found in the upkeep of the armies, the protection of the borders and the further shackling of the Church in favor of the Dukes. The armies train daily, to act once the council agrees how to destroy and retake the Demon Cities for all of humanity."

I'm thinking about making something like this:
Palace:
Core:
Peasant/Militia
Archer/Crossbowman
Footman/Guard
Elite:
Grifin/Royal grifin
Monk/Zealot
Kight/Champion
Champion:
Angel/Arcangel
And then some extra units in a new faction:
Castle:
Core:
Hunting Hound/War Hound
Musketter/Cannoner
Pikeman/Halberdier
Elite:
Light Glory/ Light Spirit
Palladin/Crusader
Falconner/Eagle eye
Champion:
Sun Rider/Solar Jouster
'nouf for 2 factions!

Some few words in between:
I saw that at least nightterror has a slightly different tier system. That's perfectly okay But we have to consider that all following factiosn hall use the same general system as the first one...this shall, in the end, be a set of factions, whoch theoretically could form ONE game, after all...
@vitorsly:
Only one lineup counted here - and that haven^^ You can, however, propose your other faction later, when we come to the creative parts
