Swordbearer is actually refreshing, and who's to say Haven can't have brutally looking units? It's not really going into Orcs' territory just yet.
I do hope we don't get another angel though.
We already now from leaks provided by russian site that Angel is as 2nd champion unit to pick

Who can explain this?
after morale swordmaster have 7 points of the speed:
but before and after 6 only:
The same thing with horseman
8 points before morale:
10 points after:
So, it's seems to be some racial skill or ability that gives to the haven's creatures increases of some parameters by morale. May be here in percent of the speed, because crosbowman haven't any increases of the speed: before morale 3 and after 3.

Haven having good morale is nothin new, but if it affects more stuff than just your turn, it would be quite cool.

Theory. Haven special Moral gives extra 2 movement. if you take out the 0,5 in the 1,5 areas.. it would make sence

Ok guys, i had some thoughts about swordbearer over the days passed, and i come with some suggestions now.
In my opinion, there are two main problems should be adressed.
1-He lacks indetical looks of a rare-special unit. He also doesnt steps forward enough, he lacks shine of a champion, he doesnt have enough presence to make us respect him enough. It is hard to indentify him different from a regular strong muscular soldier.
2-As we search sings of beign champion, after first problem we encounter, a second one appears. His name is plain simple and does not tells us enough about himself.
I think we can solve these by going down to the core, and by core i mean the philosopy behind him. his lore. his identity. when we settle up this good enough, we will go one step forward to enchant it. design will be based of his lore and will tell his tale, tell us who he are.
Starting with my suggesting with lore:
In wolf duchy, tradition is important. They respect their elders, both in past and in present. so people of wolf duchy respect great warriors, lords and many other people as long as they make somethings to protect & honour the duchy.
So elders pay back this respect. Their legacy is "wolf swords". first men in the duchy was using them, all forged by same hands therefore all have same shape and forms. Sword has symbol:"a wolf showing teeth. an intimidating image"
When their mission to serve the duchy ends(means when they gave their final breath), they pass these swords to young ones"the wolf children". With communication help of priests, ancients choose children in duchy worth to carry their name&duty.
Chosen children is immediatly picked up from normal society to special training, to what we can call as an entirely new life. They became linked with their own sword as the training goes. They become the only one truely hearing their words, and also channeling powers. When their training ends, they are announced by the wolf king as "sword-bearers(name can be changed, i just have no better suggestion yet.).
A person who becomes sword bearer is highly respected and they considered as walking will of ancestors. Sometimes they tell words of ancients, sometimes they tell their own.
In battle, they are the commanders of troops and when they swing their sword they swing it with thousand ancients together. Some say that is the reason behind why they can carry such a big sword and swing in a large angle.
This whole process about sword-bearers, is considered as one of the most important traditions in the wolf duchy.
Second part, the enchanted desing:
Sword should feel really heavy, we should understand that bearer of it is not just a normal man.
Sword and the man should shine as same color showing that they are linked to each other. Eyes-mouth-hands may glow, a shinng flowing light may flow through the whole body constantly. Sometimes brighter then usual. Maybe an remarkable aura(not same but close to the previous color) starts to glow when they are striking to their oppenents. aura may cause winds to make their cloths, cloaks and hair to move(sorry cant find the exactly correct word to express. waving? flowing? or something else? i dont know sorry for my poor english).
If these are not enough to make sword bearer become noticable enough, we can make him bigger in size fitting to 4 square they fill. Maybe the power flowing throuhh their veins made them slightly larger than a regular human, who knows?
Well,thats it. Thanks for reading my suggestion, whether you liked it or not

Nah, Haven & Academy lineups are set in stone, they wouldn't have artworks, portraits and models of each creature done if they wanted us to decide their lineups.
On the other hand, if Stronghold lineup is going to be voted as Limbic guy claimed, then maybe we could expect the same for Necropolis?

gawd no more polls!!! this one was exhausting and it's not finished yet! the line ups should be something on their hands, given the plethora of units. they should keep the voting for the factions only.
