How do you imagine the races in Heroes of Might and Magic?

Sylvanis, I completely agree! :) I would make the demons more aligned with Christianity. That is, not hardened, horned, and depraved creatures obsessed with destroying everything, but rather some otherworldly force that "wishes everyone ill but eternally does good." ;) Their city would not be some kind of hell, but rather something like the Necropolis from Heroes 3, but with satanic undertones. It would be inhabited by fanatics who worship the devil, and their units would be accordingly:
Level 1 - Initiate.
Level 2 - Sectarian
Level 3 - Witch, etc.

What is Necropolis in essence? After all, it was once some ancient people. Therefore, I would give it the image of ancient Egypt. Liches, mummies, Anubis warriors... And it would not be a negative city like in other games in the series, but rather a neutral observer, like the current dark elves.

Elves are Asia. Definitely. :) I would keep the eastern image that Rampart had in Heroes 3, perhaps enhancing it slightly. At the same time, I would leave the same creatures. I think the unicorn fits perfectly into the Asian atmosphere.

Humans... I imagine them as a mighty Byzantine empire (like Rome, but much better). I don't know what other comments to add here; I think you'll understand me anyway. ;)

Dwarves... Well, guess three times who I would make them? :D I generally think that of all the fantasy races, the most RUSSIAN one is the dwarves. Take away the greed for treasure, add some military valor and good nature, and you get dwarves, mighty heroes who know how to defend their native "motherland" better than anyone. :

I liked the theme of the eastern fairy tale. BUT there are serious flaws:
Let's start with the Rakshasa. In their improved form, they turn into Rakshasa-Rajas, and "Raj" refers to India. An Indian Raja is the same as a Sultan in Persia. Secondly, elephants. As players correctly pointed out in the past, elephants are again India and Africa, and have nothing to do with Persia. So I would put them on camels.
