I just wanted to express an idea – maybe we could find another faction that fits the world of Heroes and also organically incorporates illusion magic. A brazen race of circus performers who trample on humans and others – that's certainly not bad. But firstly, the average person might not understand it and will think of the Castle as an Asylum for jesters and clowns, etc. Secondly, there's not much real depth, philosophy, or soul – it's not very serious, or rather, the philosophy isn't. There's no epic quality. Thirdly, it's not very believable – entire armies of circus performers... And fourthly, the Eastern style of the Academy and the style of this race will likely be similar. Although, from a gameplay perspective, there are certainly many advantages. That is, there are many pros and many cons.
I've thought about a possible race that could embrace illusion magic. Definitely not gnome mechanics, that's nonsense. But there is a race that has mastered spiritual and psychic matters even better than Necromancers – the Elestian, also known as night elves, the ancient guardians of order. They remained unknown to most peoples for a long time, so maybe we could give them a corresponding magic that misdirects and deceives? Of course, their unique units won't have such a strong "cheating" and "trickster" focus, but excessive contrast isn't very good either.
