And if so, does anyone have a working mod that they can share? I keep on having problem with adding a brand new creature so I'd like to learn from an existing mod.
Thanks,

Does anyone knows if Ametyst is still the best way to add creatures? If not, what do you recommend to be used?

I do not know if anything new happened here but I got an idea.
Anyhow possible to make a randomizer? Where you have 700 def files or so but everytime you start a new game, only selected defs ( creatures and dwellings ) will be selected as custom ones ( from 197 - 255 ).
Also, anyone translated files? If not, I am going for it, would not take long. ( If someone actually have translated, please feel kind to share a link to dl )
EDIT: Where do you add as dwellings and creatures on as map objects?
I have no idea at all, can anyone help please?

I think it's possible. But you must program special abilities for all of 700 units (without them it will be not so interesting).

No, he means the additional 58 ones (197-255). OF course is unfeasible, HoMM3 creatures have internal flags, as dragons, undead, living, machines, and if you randomize the way the defs are picked, you may get a frog with dragon abilities, or a deer launching boulders.
But what you can do is similar to Battle Heroes extras mod I did. Once you know there will be definite creature, with definite abilities, create database of 20+ defs then randomly pick one for that battle. Next battle, another and so on.

Kegolo uses it in Covenant town.
If it happens to be what you want and you are able to use it successfully please PM me; I wanted to know more about what is in use for adding creatures but never got an awser.

EDIT: trying to make a mod using Amethyst here is alfa version but it crashes at ERA startup
(tried mod covenant and it works fine)

What do You mean by "permanently closed" ?
EDIT: Do you probably mean there would be Amethyst2 in near time? Or do you mean you lost all interests in binary ERA modding? Or just you want to say it works but is not supported by you, because you feel annoying to help the newbies?

Warmonger, did you scripted anything in VCMI? 
but yes - data modding is much better/easier in VCMI, sadly I'm more scripter than graphician, so I choose ERA. Of course I should choose VCMI over HoTA if VCMI would have good AI and good RMG, but I already choosed ERA over HoTA so you can think out my reasons.
My trial with Amethyst is because mod called Four Upgrades is nice but it annoys me because it replaces some creatures, which i think is almost Unforgivable, so I wanted prepare own version using Amethyst, but has some problems with the plugin.
Maybe Kegolo could help? He successfully prepared mod Covenant with Amethyst, so he could help me about thinks not written here but important.

Sure he didn't. One day, poof, VCMI was there, without any scripting. Alleluia.

Salamandre - Adding Data without needing of scripts is nice, but none abilities to script anything is a big no-no to me, and I think they won't allow me to add modded lines of code to VCMI trunk - and they didn't have DLL/SO interface which means I can't add any lines of modded code to VCMI
sorry for offtopic
Anybody has experience in Amethyst? do you have more detailed examples? Any sort of documentation?

I'm looking for the same thing but I am getting nowhere. Nobody seem to know how this thing works with ERA.

No amethyst v2, no amethyst v1+, no amethyst v1-, no another plugins for this purpose.
Also, I did this eons ago and forgot all "how-to"'s. I know that it works in ERA 2+ (someone tested, afaik), but I don't have recipes and don't know how stable it is.
All that I find:
