Mythology
About the genise idea,I didn't quite consider the mythology part.But let's don't be so serious about this.We're only listing possible ideas for reference
Besides,the games has not conformed to the rule that creatures from the same town has to belong to the same culture.If it has to be so,there would be a Greek town flooding with monsters since most of the creatures in the game comes from Greek mythology.Anyway,it's not Civilization we're talking about
So,kindly let the homeless genies reside in the desert.

Why for necros? Can't other towns have undead units except of necro? And by the way, mummies are not animated dead they are bodies which got their spirit back so they are kinda alive.
And also, genies should be neutral and rare, there should be only one in a lamp, and they should have the halving thingy and maybe should be spellcasters and even give money or something.

The reason i think they should belong to the necro is this:
IN heroes 2 they were a part of the necro because the necro had come along and raise the mummies from there tombs.
Your towns about egyptians the egyptians did not embalm the bodies of there dead so they could come back as warriors,the reason they did this is to preserve the body for the afterlife, that is also why they removed all there vital organs as well. Its the necromancers who have come along and raised them from the dead to fight.

About mummies
I agree that mummies should belong to the necromancers,but it kind of looks strange to have a pyramid in the necropolis.Seems rather awkward to me

Crocodiles
They also worshipped crocodiles in ancient Egypt as gods. I just can't picture them in HOMM... (recruiting crocodiles from a river for instance) Would some kind of reptiloid work? Reptile Warriors?!? Well.. it was just a thought entering my mind..

Mummies do not belong to Necro, and besides, why can't other towns but necro master some dark magic? And they could still be neutral, just like the Fortress has witches and its still neutral.

To Mystery...
I see you are a respected hero now, congratulations. I think some tavern dwellers should respect you more .
About mumies, they belong to egypt town. Because, mumies are cursed egyptian priests. They cursed them with the worst one, to be undead, this was the worst curse for them. This is what Mystery said there, in kind of way they brought their spirits back. So we'll stick to this: Mumies are Egypt creatures. Vampires and necros have nothing to do with them, so leave them alone in their eternal tombs. .
And, of course, Egypt should be neutral.
I like the idea of genies. They should be very rare and just one in a bottle. How about a wish from them....
And, just one more thing that no one mentioned till now. Cats are the guardians of pyramids. There should be a cat like unit. Ya know, something like, half cat-half something. Or these could be neutral units, guarding pyramids in the adventure maps...
Havent visited the comunity for a long time, I see some good ideas here...
Off topic...
And, look, in the www.pcgames.com I saw heroes of might and magic for Sony Playstation 2. I saw some pictures there. In fact it is a 3d version of heroes. I saw a feature there that we might expect in heroes4, THE LEADERSHIP DETERMINES HOW MANY CREATURES A HERO CAN CONTROLL. Are we gonig to see it on heroes4?

Almost all Egyptians who could afford to became mummies when they died -- a total of about 70 million mummies in 3,000 years. Thats a hell of a lot of cursed priests! If you dont know anything about Egyptians why are you talking like you do!

Arachnid is right. Mummies were not just priests.

mummies....
hello!
mummies are definietly not just priest. according to the sourse i was reading and many otheres that confirms it, mummies are usually dead kings or queens and other spiritual leaders. And definietly not everyone can be mummified because to mummifiy a body it costs a fortune and the state of power they have in this world...
well this is what i remembered and if this proves to be wrong i am happy to listen to corrections...
ps why don't we have a race that is based on the arabian nights...it would be cool!!
genies, efreets, flying man(carpet), i mean the conflux town already looks like the taj mahal right?
regards

Egypt
If this town won't be included in H4, I hope they will put it in the expansion, so here's the "H4 compatible" creature roster:
Mummy -> Royal mummy.
Priest -> High priest OR Cat warrior -> Tomb guardian.
Scorpion -> Scorch stinger OR Sand spirit -> Sandstorm.
Scarab -> Holy scarab OR Nile crocodile -> Crocodile king.
Cobra -> Fire cobra OR Plague beast -> Curse slasher.
Pharaoh -> Dark pharaoh OR Sphinx->Royal sphinx.
The Egypt heroes should specialize in Cursing Magic and all units should be able to cast Curse.
The town name should be Pyramid or Tomb.
What do u think?

hmm i dont know if they will fit into h4 yet. I think we will have to see if any of our town ideas could fit in with the new towns. I think wait until we know the story of heroes 4 to see if any town idea there is here could fit in.

Look gyus, when I talked about mumies, I know that there are a lot of mumies and that kings and rich ancient egyptians mumified themselves, I mean, they paid to be mumified. But I was talking about something else, not about mumies in their sarcophagus doing nothing. The mumies we have in heroes are something different. Have you guys seen the Mummy movie. I think you should try that. Why do they curse you when they attack, from where does this cursing nature comes from..... Anyway it doesn't matter...

Mumies
Yes that is nice. Also I don't know why 3do took out mummies in the first place. I mean in Homm2 they were quite good, right?
P.S.: GoldenDragon I was trying to look at your page, but when I put my cursor on it happened to have a screwed up addres of MY page. Hmmm... weird isn't it. You can't even SPELL it! If you can't spell it you can't STEAL it from me! Next time when you try to steal another page spell it right!

The mummies in Armageddon's Blade were too weak. They out them back probably just to claim that all the original HoMM2 creatures made it back. They made it just like the trolls, neutral, rare, weak and useless. But at least they kept the spirit of the mummy by still letting it curse. I sure hope that mummies return in HoMM4 as Lvl 6-8 creatures for the Pyramid Town and NOT the Necro Town. Most Mummies were affluent Egyptians and except for cursed priests (which account for about 20% of all mummies) mummies came back to life not through reanimation but through the spirit returning to the body. The greatest distinction between mummies and undead is that mummies have emotion and retain memory. I guess it would be okay though if mummies were still affected by turn undead spells but only if they are Lvl 7 or 8. A more powerful type of Mummy might be a Cursed Mummy (a mummified cursed priest) that is only available if you have a Necro town under your control. Otherwise an upgrade might be a shooter mummy that shoots out embalming gases
As for Genies I say put them back in the sand but keep efreets in infernoes (if any)
