This is awesome!
I especially like the Ogresse Magi(?) and Toad. I cringed a bit seeing spikes on the shoulders's knight and helmet decoration because it reminds me of Ashan too much. I prefer this version of Dryad than h7's, is beautiful. Townscreens and other improvements are superb, you guys rock.
I have a feeling I will reinstall VCMI soon.

How Hota is not compatible with VCMI? Wasn't Hota as town already added to VCMI?
There are some features missing though, like the cannon.

I know the last two units were remade from scratch just because original defs were not available.
No idea about first two, though.

Some of you guys seemed concerned about quality of animation for new creatures. I warned you already that they can be considered "final" after mod is realased, so anything can change for better.
Here is just little gif of dryad which I have animated recently. Btw Fred if it is really worth for few pixels I can render you nude version after mod introducion, though I don't quite get why would you need it.

in case you weren't aware, one of my plans is to make all the females in the game nude(like my nude pixie, and like forge's naga tank). my own heroes world is a more "free" society, at least for the women. the males are still under oppressive law; and i don't forsee them overthrowing their overseer anytime soon. 
if you could do that, that would be a lot of help for me. then all i'd have to do is add the details.

Oh yes, because HotA has copyrights for Werewolf, Paladin or Dryad. These are surely creatures they have invented.  /sarcasm mode off
Besides it is awesome that this versions are being made because clearly they are graphically supreme and they are going to be released somewhere in the not-so distant future while HotA ones are forever burried in the depths of hard drives of team members.

And yet I think the original Hota Inquisitors look better, that reminds me of something I wanted to do...

this Inquistor is as far as i know a preety old model and will not be part of the Alternatives mod, but I dont know for sure, maybe someone from team will enlighten us?
As for that Inquistor model i think the HotA one is more detailed but also has much worse lightning and is a little bit too shiny to fit heroes.

We have already said that inquisitors won't appear in our mod as it is quite old and graphically not good enough for our standards.
Some of alternatives will be inspired by old HotA projects, as we are thinking that they had many great ideas, and on top of that some creatures are also a -must- choice as they are first association with faction you may think of.
We may however try to reintroduce some single units from Alex-ander, but this should be rather treated as a "tribute" for his talent. He was an author for many great units, not only for HotA team, but also for other promising cities at one time. Those projects were very popular and we may deliver limited number of them as we are thinking that some people are still waiting for them to happen. Of course this task is even more difficult, because not only we have to make 3D model of it, but also come up with most of animations, as many of presented graphics had only standing animation. Getting close to Alex-ander level is very (very) difficult, so this will be exceptions in neutral units, but we will make sure to highlight the source of remade units.
For example:
Can you tell at the first sight which of those is our version?
Here is source:
It is interesting forest creature for Kremlin (city planned for WoG 3.59)
You can find the rest of original units here
http://heroes3towns.com/?town=kremlin&page=arts
===
Besides to avoid confusion which have appeared recently on our forum: we are also not going to remake any "lost" HotA towns. The only thing directly connected to Cove would be future alternatives for their town, as we do believe that Cove permanently entered the mind of players as the tenth city, and in other words will be treated as one of the original factions for our addon.
I hope that it will clarify a little about our plans

Wow that's amazing!  If you didn't show them side by side I never would've guessed.
It's a damn shame that Kremlin got cut off, it was a nice looking town (well the units at least). It's also a shame that Alex-ander is not around anymore, so it's great for you guys to make tributes to him.

We have decided to give you some hints about alternative creatures which will appear in a first version of our mod.
First one to show is Inferno, creature will appear as an alternative for 4th demon.
Does this shape reminds you of something? :>
