So yeah... uhm I forgot about not posting feedback in that specific thread, so here's the light version of my Fortress review:
Love it, but feel there's a lack of... organization (I mean it is still an army in the end) which could be fixed by swapping the Tuman (which is a great idea, not taking a creature directly but inspiring it from a prominent element in various folklore) with one of the core creatures.

and here is my FORTRESS
please tell me your opinion..
I think your fortress is pretty good,I like it that you took many creatures from different myths and I think it is quite impressive that you found so many releated to swamps(I myself am also working on some factions,including a fortress in H3-style).
The only thing,that somehow is absent,is the presence of a race(since the factions of ashan are mostly based on one race) for the faction,because the only creature that looks like a beastman to me is the bolotnik,but don't get me wrong,that doesn't mean that I would like more of them in the lineup,I just want to know how most of the heroes would look like.

Which I found kind of refreshing actually though I felt it was not so much a race that was missing as it was "intelligent (monstrous) humanoids" in the higher ranks (elite) of the faction.
Say Dungeon in HoMMIII was also a collection of beasts but the Medusa and Minotaur gave it a pressence of control in the higher tiers.
Mostly because they were clearly intelligent creatures by using armor and weaponry.
HoMMIII's fortress similarly managed to retain an army feeling through the fact that both Lizardfolk and Gnolls actually wore armor and weapons, and the heroes were fleshed out as Beastmasters.
Say if the hero descriptions are added, it would really add a sense of of being a culture.
Edit: V-- then we more or less were talking roughly in the same direction, though maybe from different angles.

I didn't mean,that there has to be a special race(because I always think,that it is bad to overuse a race),I just wanted to know what the heroes would look like.

Here is my entry:
Entry
to search: [ctrl-F] --> type "Asgardia"
Please comments, any suggestions are welcome.
The basic rule is a race based on Ylath the Air Elemental Dragon and combine it with Norse Myth. Please let me know especially regarding:
1. Racial Skill: is it too strong or too weak? what can I do to improve it?
2. Number and type of creatures: I tried my best to avoid too many humonoid, any better Idea on the line-up.
3. Please also suggest the Creature ability: currently I got stuck with Fenrir's ability, but any better suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Okay, I made a faction I haven't made before, and it has new things and such. Posting it in that thread soon, and opening a new thread for discussing it too.

I was wondering about that too.
I heard the prize for winning was ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

nahh, it is purely for fun, at least for me. Contest or not, win or not, it doesn't matter I always love to design something from some game I like. Maybe not for everyone and some people will find it a waste of time but not for me. I enjoy every brainstorming, picture hunting for a simple reason: "it is fun".

Otherwise I dislike your dungeon and Inferno, sounds to random. I'm not opposed to it's creativity, it just feels too unconnected.

And hey, don't steal my minotaur concept!  (which I'm stealing from diablo...)
Sylvan, Necro and Fortress feels real solid though.

Demonic minotaurs originated from The Divine Comedy, AFAIK:

The Centaurs and the Minotaur are the guardians of the first ring of Circle VII,
the ring of the violent against neighbors.
