HoMM VII Haven Units – Haven faction units from the seventh installment of Heroes of Might and Magic.

imo, you guys are worrying too much about minor details. For people who actually play the game, issues with the mechanics are much more important than a single incorrectly working texture. If there isn't a technical way to achieve what seems like the ideal, why abandon the ideas completely when you can simply simplify the requirements for the final result? (By the way, this approach is relevant to all aspects of modifying this wonderful game; the same applies to scripts).
