Okay, let's go over the names. I really like doing this, you know.
Zealous rebels => Partisan rebels
I like it.
Light archers => Assault archers
I like it a lot.
Accurate shooters => Long-range shooters
Long-range? The adjective isn't usually applied to people, but it is to artillery. I've never seen it used for people. I suggest "elite shooters" – this was used in "Rome: Total War" to describe a similar type of unit: regular archers had a short range, while elite archers had a long range, and that was the main difference. Another option is "garrison shooters" to show the value of such units in defending a city.
Guard swordsmen => Guardsmen swordsmen
Just guardsmen. The type of weapon is never specified in such cases; just remember the "cardinal's guards," who were armed like musketeers. And yet, no one called them "guardsmen musketeers."
Heavy armored warriors => Legionary armored warriors
Legionaries are, by definition, armored warriors, if I'm not mistaken. If not, maybe "heavy legionaries" would be better?
Battle griffins => Storm griffins
Cat-dogs... Griffins are griffins. Storms are storms.
Militant monks => Battle monks
It sounds paradoxical. First, battle monks, then berserk hamsters... There are special names for people who live near a monastery but are not monks, but are warriors (in Russia, for example, they are called "black monks"; you could call them that). No, I understand that in Heroes, monks are traditionally a combat unit, and you, Nargott, are not to blame for this, but still, talking about "battle monks" is a bit much, in my humble opinion.
Holy clerics => Field clerics
I don't understand how clerics are related to fields... Maybe "campaign clerics"?
Knights of Justice => Retinue knights
In my opinion, "retinue" or "knight-retinue" would sound better.
Great champions => Arena champions
A perfectly suitable option, I like it.
Angels of Life => Angel Regents
Regents of whom?
Assassins of the League => Assassin Poisoners
"Poisoner" already implies killing, i.e., assassination, so it's like saying the same thing twice.
Dungeon gladiators => Interceptor gladiators
What do you mean?
Brave rudiaries => Fierce giants
Normal.
Formidable raiders => Lightning raiders
Good.
Vengeful snipers => Sniper Avengers
Good.
Mighty ents => Young ents
A complete reinterpretation of the unit? Great, I like it a lot.
High vampires => Vampire Lords
Normal.
Ominous liches => Unholy liches
So, does that mean all the other liches are as pure as babies? Well, somehow... They could be cursed liches.
Dark spellcasters => Plague liches
Lords of the Dead => High liches
Good.
Fatal dragons => Dragons of Fate
Wow, that sounds great.
Imp-leeches => Voracious imps
Well, it's okay, at least I can't think of any better options.
Devil parasites => Infernal parasites
Imp-leeches => Devil collectors
Okay.
Blazing spawns => Sulfur spawns
Some not-so-euphonious Anglicism, these "spawns." It sounds like slang, and it is. It's better to come up with a replacement.
Cerberus of the Gate => Untamed Cerberus
Demonesses of Agony => Demonesses of Agony
True nightmares => Crimson nightmares
Nightmares of Gehenna => Blazing nightmares
I like it, it's great.
Guild wizards => Guild sorcerers
Sodomite ifrits => Volcanic ifrits
Olympic atlases => Mighty atlases
Ancient thunderers => Relentless thunderers
Likewise.
Stern highlanders => Defenders of Gorn
Good.
Vandal bonecrushers => Reckless bonecrushers
Good.
Viking berserkers => Impulsive Vikings
Impulsive? Well, that's like in some kind of psychological questionnaire; you could add eccentric Vikings, introverted Vikings, or something else, since that's the case. It's better to have something like "furious Vikings."
Defenders of Gorn => Fire-wielding jarls
Fire-wielding? You were probably trying to replace the word "fiery," which is used too often and therefore it's not a good idea to use it. But "fire-wielding" refers to weapons, not to jarls; that word doesn't fit here. You could then have "jarls of fire" or something like that, but definitely not "fire-wielding." Well, we talked about the goblins.
