I hope it's okay to express my opinion.
Of course, you can :)
I want to talk only about the creatures, because I used to know a lot about mythology.
In Ashan, the creatures have somewhat distorted forms and may differ from mythology.
1. Humans: Angels and Dragons are quite different in nature, and it's not easy to combine them. It's better to choose one of the two. Each of them has its own culture, and we should start from that.
Again, in Ashan, there are dragon gods(!), and each dragon god has children. For example, Elrath (the dragon of light and patron of humans) has light dragons and angels, and even though this is a user mod, we are still continuing the history of Ashan and following its rules (albeit partially).
So, here, a Dragon and an Angel are quite appropriate :)
2. Elements (if I understand correctly): Phoenix and Mystic Eagle are the same thing, only in one culture it is called Phoenix, and in another, Simurgh (Mystic Eagle).
I'm not sure if Simurgh is the same as Phoenix, but problem 1 is that both Phoenix and Simurgh use the same skeletons, so I suggested replacing Simurgh with magic elementals.
3. Necromancer: Fallen Angels are more associated with demons than with the undead. First, you need to determine what culture the race has and what its values are, and then choose the units.
See the beginning.
4. Nagas: Nagas and Kirin +, but you could add a creature similar to an octopus. I think it would fit well with the atmosphere of sea creatures.
Here, [email protected] has already expressed his opinion.
5. Magic Chimeras: an unclear race in which incompatible creatures are mixed. Perhaps the information I saw at the beginning of the discussion is outdated.
The creatures are quite compatible, the main thing is to choose a single style (yes, yes, in THIS case, I think it is better to choose the composition first, and then make them in a single style. For example: a centaur was in Heroes 1-2 for the Warlock, in Heroes 3 for the Elf, and from the 4th part for the Barbarian (Orc).
7. Lizards: I can't say anything about them yet, because I need to look for them in mythology. I don't think a basilisk is such a strong creature.
In mythology, it's one thing, but in Ashan, it's another :)
8. Mountain Orcs: Giants are big, Cyclops are big, but with one eye. Instead of Giants, you could add a Rukh (Thunderbird).
I hope I didn't offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings, and if I did, I apologize. You are just trying to combine creatures that are difficult to reconcile with each other. And as a result, you get a mishmash of units in each castle.
The Rukh bird would fit, but it would be similar to the Phoenix.

And also, about the cursed angels. I think it's better to make them exclusively heroes.
