Nocturnal's DUNGEON
This faction is revised now. The revised version is here
Some notes: I have been thinking and working on this for some time now. Dark Elves being my favourite faction in all RPG and strategy universe, I was eager to start with them as my first faction creation. Note that the creatures can seem tougher and stronger than the general but their weekly growth are quite poor. Although I've added some of the legendary units I liked, I've changed the general approach they got from Ubisoft, hope you like it. As I don't have any drawing skills and apparatus, I had to find images from the net and choose the most suitable ones altough some aspects of the images are exactly contrary to what's in my mind. Some of them are not even Elvish, imagine them with pointy ears Well, enough chat 
DUNGEON
Racial Ability - Tuidhana's Revenge
Level 1- A core unit will attack a second time to the next target, after suffering retaliation.

The large creatures will only bleed. The tremple deals +%100 damage to undead as their bones are crushed but they won't bleed.

One of them attacks to the one side the other attacks the opposite side, the side the other sister's back is turned. One of them attacks with Dark magic damage, the other with Earth magic damage. In case of a single target attack you can choose with which sister to attack and the damage is not halved in single target attack; so the damage is not also devided between the two enemies that are being attacked. The chance of morale and luck is rolled for each sister and only the one who had luck or morale will deal critical strike or the second attack. In case of a morale to one sister, altough it didn't come to the other sister, they can walk.

It will not spend the Nemesis's turn. It cannot be cleansed with any spell. The invisible unit can attack without suffering retaliation and without being revealed. It cannot have morale effect but can have lucky strikes. Being adjacent to an enemy will not reveal the invisible unit. A unit cannot use any of its abilities when invisible and can only do regular attacks. Should it be that an enemy unit is directed to the tile the invisible unit is on, it will stop before the invisible unit and its (the enemy unit's) turn will pass. Only if it is caught in the Frozen Grounds or enter Hydra's vomitted area will the concealed unit be revealed before the normal time.
Split - (One charge) Nemesis can split itself in two. (One unit of Nemesis with 4 stacks will become two units of Nemesis, each with two stacks.) If "Conceal" was not used, the two charges will be devided between the two. If it was used once, the caster of "Split" will hold it. Splitting will consume the original unit's turn, but the second one will have its turn immediately after the splitting. They will stay splitted until the end of the combat or "Reunite" is cast.

Yay for anatomically correct Mintoaurs, I guess? 
I quite like the ability descriptions, overpowered or not,
but some of the units' names (siamese twins) seem a little out of place, IMO.

Thanks for the comments. I was getting sad that noone responsed
A little overpowered, I agree. But they had to be to balance their incredibly poor growth. Haven Preatorians have 15 and Marksman have 12 for example, but Marker Assassin has 9 and Frenzy Minotaur 7. 0.5 growth was what I could think of for the Champion as all factions already have 1 for non-upgrade 2 for the upgrade.
Could you open it a little Avirosb? They are siamese after all  The "Terror" and "Corrupt" parts are out of place you mean?

Oh, I see. I have used the word's other meaning there.
1.
of or pertaining to Siam, its people, or their language.
2.
Thai ( def. 3 ) .
3.
twin; closely connected; similar.
The 3rd here. I haven't realised it would be misunderstood, sorry.  It would be banale if I called them "conjoined", as its already one of their skills.

I'd suggest you take the Warhammer approach and just use a made-up word that roughly means the same thing (Nurgle = Nergal, Norsca = Norway/Scandinavia, etc.)
It's no biggie tho, and I know why you used it.

Good suggestion I usually make up names for my RPG chars but Ive forgotten that option in this.
Actually this faction creation thing was something real funnier than I thought it is, although tiresome really. I can't imagine the ego satisfaction the dev teams feel. You know, seeing what you created in an actual game. Must be great

ICTC is the "International Create a Town Competition" (or "...Contest"?! no matter...) It is a contest here on HC where members create towns to their liking, wether completely new ideas or revisions of old towns, town combiantions...whatever. It is also not impossible what "system" you chose - H3, H4, H5, H6, or your own. As long as it's a town, you can enter with it. In the end, an independent judging follows, and the best towns are elected. last year, there were also prizes for the top3, I think, but I don't know wether that happens this time. Currently, we have the ICTC VI, up to the end of February. Currently, at least I am judging. I think adrius is in as Judge, as well.
It happens in the Age of Heroes Collisseum. To participate, ypu just have to create a thread there with the title "ICTC 6 - <town name>" or similarly - and you're in

I agree completely. It's creative, even though I would petition the removal of Dark Elves.
But yes, Strict Matriarch needs a name change. Same case with Vile Hydra IMHO. So does Vertebrate, because that just means a creature with a spine. I'd hazzard a guess that this is not what your getting at.
Also it's dawns on me that, English is neither a first nor a very good second language of yours. Seeing how your often use adjectives incorrectly.
