Yes, I don't like it either; the Egyptian style doesn't really appeal to me, but I do like the creatures. The spider instead of a dragon suits the Necropolis well, because Ashah isn't a dragon.

The Necropolis castle in Heroes 5 was definitely prettier. The Gothic style suited them better than this.
The creatures are interesting, though. The question is, in the Russian version (by the way, is it planned?), will these "ghouls" still be called that, or will they come up with something better? The spider girl doesn't evoke much affection; a blob would have been better :D.
