Lizard's Perfect HoMM
In this thread I said what I don't like at H6.So I will make a proposal where I show how would look the perfect heroes game for me.
Let's start with one of the most important...resources
1.Treasury,not just gold as in other games.Why not just gold?Because more sources will be in game.There will be three types of mines: Silver Mine(500/day),Gold Mine(1000/day) and Diamond Mine(2000/day).In towns there is another building:Bank.Players can loan treasury,but starting with the loan day,the player pay 10%/week from sum until the price will be paid.The max loan is 5000gold
2.Wood,the classic wood as in every heroes.The most important resource for buildings.The Sawmill provides wood.
3.Ore,the second important resource for buildings.As wood,classic and needed in any heroes games.Ore Quarer produce ore.
4.Flourite is a colorful mineral, both in visible light and often under ultraviolet, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, flourite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels.The magic propieties of this crystal was observed by mages and alchemists from ancient times,is commonly used at magic rituals and spells.[resource especially used by good factions]
5.Morion is a black variety of quartz crystals which contain dark energy.This crystal is very used at black magic rituals especially necromancy.Known for the instabile nature,it can produce radiations which cause terrible mutations,wounds and can even kill.Morion crystals are necessary in magic,but except black magic,is used only a small quanity.Stocks of these minerals are heavy guarded as heretics and rebel mages to don't use it.[resource especially used by evil factions]

Great job with the pictures and the resources 
May I suggest changing the name of 'surgery' to 'Clinic' ? It would be more appropriate.

Elite guard is core, not elite? confusing
also, trooper sounds neither medieval or fantasy, it's really a modern term only
OTOH, love the hound!

Black Knight->Death Knight
[...]Execution-have 30% chances to instantly kill the top stack creature
Is that equivalent to the death star of mighty gorgons, just with 3 times higher likelyness?
Quote:
Wraith->Reaper
[...]Death Gaze-for every 2 reapers,after attack,is killed 1 creature from the trageted stack
And is that basicly saying that 100 reapers with at minimum kill 50 of whatever opposes them when they attack?
It can certainly work, but for balance, wouldn't it require that either those unit are slow (hard to get an attack with them), or have low defenses (so they fall faster than their equivalent leveled challenge) or that they've very low growth rates (so they are stronger units, but there are less of them)?

Death knights can kill only 1 creature,not more.Reapers are very slow,death knights have more speed,but because of the armor,they are slower than other mounted units.Knights costs also resources(ore),and cost lot of gold.

Okay, so in a 1vs1, 1 DK have 30% chance of killing 1 black dragon?
On the other hand 300 DK have 30% chance of killing 1 extra black dragon on top of the stack they're attacking?
(So basically it's something that is better for low stacks and gets worse the further you get into the game?).
