Cula [Romanian Mythological Town]

Enviroment
Culas are often located in deep forests and mountains,where the enviroment can be used at maximum defensive mod.The Romanian territory is occupied by the Carpatian Mountains,which can be a good barrier aginst enemy hordes,also the large amount of forests make it very protected and a few are these who can survive in this enviroment.The forests have a large population of brune bears which can reach 600kg.

LINE-UP
CORE
1.Bat
Bats are flying mammals in the order Chiroptera. The forelimbs of bats are webbed and developed as wings, making them the only mammals
naturally capable of true and sustained flight. By contrast, other mammals said to fly, such as flying squirrels, gliding possums and colugos, glide rather than fly, and can only glide for short distances. Bats do not flap their entire forelimbs, as birds do, but instead flap their spread out digits, which are very long and covered with a thin membrane or patagium.Bat echolocation is a perceptual system where ultrasonic sounds are emitted specifically to produce echoes. By comparing the outgoing pulse with the returning echoes the brain and auditory nervous system can produce detailed images of the bat's surroundings. This allows bats to detect, localize and even classify their prey in complete darkness. At 130 decibels in intensity, bat calls are some of the most intense airborne animal sounds.
Stats:|low attack|low defense|low hp|high speed|
Abilities:Flyer-ignore obstacles,No enemy retaliation-the creature attack so fast,enough the enemy can't react
Upg.Vampiric Bat
Unlike fruit-eating bats, the vampire bat has a short, conical muzzle. It also lacks a nose leaf, instead having naked pads with U-shaped grooves at the tip. The common vampire bat also has specialized thermoreceptors on its nose, which aids the animal in locating areas where the blood flows close to the skin of its prey. A nucleus has been found in the brain of vampire bats that has a similar position and similar histology to the infrared receptor of infrared-sensing snakes.Vampire bats generally have small ears and a short tail membrane. Their front teeth are specialized for cutting and their back teeth are much smaller than in other bats. Their digestive system is adapted to their liquid diet, and their saliva contains a substance, draculin, which prevents the prey's blood from clotting. The vampire bats do not suck blood, but rather lap the blood at the site of the haemorrhage (where the prey is bleeding).
Stats:|more attack|more hp|more speed|
Abilities:Flyer-ignore obstacles,No enemy retaliation-the creature attack so fast,enough the enemy can't react,Minor life-drain-the creature can suck a little quanity of blood to heal themself equal with 15% from damage dealed

Imi place aceasta (factiona?) 
I cannot wait until you add more info and possibly some pictures. 
Could I suggest something? Well, IMO I think it would be cool if the kingdom was Transylvania specifically (although I don't know too much on Romanian mythology)
And is that the Eagle that's also in the Moldovian flag?
Great faction. You should put it in Jiriki's contest, I'm about finished with mine too.
Also Targoviste sounds strangely similar to the Polish word "Targowisko", which means "Marketplace"

I can't say I like this town. Heroes is all about mixing different cultures and myths to create new and interesting factions (ok, maybe except Haven  ). This town not only focuses on a single real-world country, but also presents creatures that I have never heard about.
I totally can't relate to this faction, it makes as much sense as if I made a polish faction called Piaskownica and then populated it with only polish mythology (rusałka, światowid, topielec, południca, etc.).

*raises hand*
Don't you find calling a fantasy faction's kingdom Romania a perhaps too obvious reference...?
It's like I would make a faction full of vikings and ice-giants and call it Sweden. Kinda... breaks the immersion.
I also think you should replace most of the names, might make sense to you but to me they say absolutely nothing.
Like Haiduc, a quick googling tells me that in romanian it's a word for outlaw. So maybe... you could call the unit Outlaw?
I understand the whole patriotic theme but... meh.

I don't know if this is much help but:
"Abilities: Pack attack-increase attack by 1 for every 20 pricolices in stack" *look at the Werewolf*
You've spelled many times "Cruse" not "Curse".
About the voivode - you mean an entirely different skill or...?

How about something like this...
Patriotism:
Basic - a group of random core creatures (still from the faction) joins the hero's army every week. Starting with 10 but for every 5 hero's levels + 5.
Advanced - a group of random elite creatures (still from the faction) joins the hero's army every week. Starting with 5 but for every 5 hero's levels + 3.
Expert - a champion creature (still from the faction) joins the hero's army every week. Starting with 1 but for every 10 hero's levels + 1.
Ultimate - doubles all bonuses for more levels.

Advance Patriotism-neutral elite Romanian creatures have 50% chances to join in army
Expert Patriotisn-always neutral core Romanian creatures will join in army
Ultimate Patriotism-neutral champion Romanian creatures have 30% to join in army
