yeah, you chose magic correctly... just like in Dominion 2)))
regarding the creatures, if you're going to create them, I hope they turn out well)) take a look at the creatures' appearance in other sources as well))

I suggest making "spreading diseases" (or something along those lines) the main racial ability, with chances to poison, infect with plague, or cast a curse.

They will be similar to the Letosa. ))
As for curses, you can have... three types of curses, and one skill that affects their duration or something else...
However, they can be removed with magic.

Regarding the creatures, I hope they turn out well if you decide to create them. Take a look at other sources for creature designs.

yes, but you can combine elves and mages; let me explain: in a special guild, you can give YOUR creatures an improvement: one that reduces the enemy's attack when it hits, another that reduces luck, etc., and to avoid making it too overpowered, you can set a fee for adding creatures to the guild or a percentage with which the creature reduces the enemy's stats when it hits...

For Chaos, I suggest adding the Necromancer's "Deadly Cold" and "Magic Drain" from the Academy. For Summoning, "Fog Cloud" and an analogue of Fire Warriors: "Water Warriors." For Light, "Twilight" and "Water Resistance" (an analogue of Fire Resistance). And for Darkness: the already mentioned "Eternal Darkness" and "Cursed Land." For the Luck skill: "Deadly Misfortune" and "Lucky Sorcerer."
I also suggest giving lower-tier creatures in the army 20% vulnerability to fire and 20% resistance to water.
Here are the schemes for obtaining second-tier skills:
Chaos - Lord of Cold
====================== Deadly Cold
Chaos - Magic Drain
Summoning - Fog Cloud
====================== Water Warriors
Summoning - Lord of Spells
Light - Protector - Water Resistance - Twilight
Darkness - Lord of Pain - Cursed Land - Eternal Darkness
Luck - Deadly Misfortune
====================== Lucky Sorcerer
Luck - Soldier's Luck

I've created a logistics scheme.
Logistics - Pathfinding - Silent Hunter - Plundering.

Night Nazgul, your suggestion is good, but first I want to figure out the creatures of the Swamp Fortress! And then we can deal with this!:rolleyes:

I suggest adding the following skill to the game:
LIFE-GIVING BLESSING - GUARDIAN ANGEL - DRAGON'S PROTECTION (corresponding to the deity they worship).
SKILL BONUS: If only 20% of your army remains, a dragon will descend onto the battlefield and kill 70% of the strongest unit and 50% of the second strongest unit.

Darkness - lord of pain - cursed land - eternal darkness
Luck - deadly misfortune
======================Lucky Sorcerer
Luck - soldier's luck
super ability triggering (Avenger, Mini-Arts, Necromancy, etc.), and we still need to come up with that ability.

That's true, but you could combine Elves and Mages.

I think we can try this approach.
The strategy for playing as a Swamp Hero is to exhaust the enemy, weaken them, and then calmly defeat them.
Hero development focuses on: Knowledge – 40%, Defense – 30%, Attack – 20%, Magic – 10%.
Magic: Darkness (naturally), Chaos (to compensate for the weakness of archers).
Racial ability: An ability that allows the hero to move along the Action Time Bar (ATB) scale when their units take damage (e.g., 20% of the army's HP = 1 movement; the numbers need to be tested for balance).
Racial skills:
1) When damage is dealt to the enemy army, the enemy hero is pushed back, similar to a skill, but in reverse.
2) Corrosion: When the hero directly attacks, the attacked unit receives -1 to attack (permanently and cannot be removed until the end of the battle) – like a sword rusting.
3) Swamp Mud: The speed of all enemy units during battle is reduced by 1.
As a result, the Swamp Hero moves more often, while the enemy moves less often, so the probability that the enemy army will accumulate a large number of various curses over time is very high, which creates an advantage. And you can also harass the enemy with Chaos magic. The hero moves more often but hits weakly because magic is very low.
In this case, the Swamp army is weak in itself because it is difficult to acquire combat skills (it needs to be designed that way), and it is not very profitable because you definitely need Darkness, Chaos, Sorcery, and Education… and the hero's attack and defense stats will be low, but the enemy will be guaranteed to be weakened by magic…
If you like something, feel free to use it.

That is, it is easy to obtain: 1) Darkness Magic, 2) Logistics, 3) Nature Magic, 4) Defense.
Medium: 1) Chaos Magic, 2) Sorcery, 3) Light Magic, 4) Education.
Low: 1) Attack, 2) Mechanics, 3) Leadership, 4) Luck.
The racial skill is too complicated; we need something simpler and more appealing, although someone might support it.
Next, I support "Swamp Slime." I would change the effect of "Corrosion" slightly, adding Hellfire, like the Demons have. There is a 30% chance that when attacking a unit, the attacker will lose 1 attack point for the duration of the battle and cannot remove it. Next, add 2 special abilities to the Defense skill: 1) "Body Viscosity" (can be reduced to absorbing only 2 points of damage, otherwise it will be too strong) and 2) "Wet Evaporation" - increases the chance of the "Corrosion" ability triggering to 50%.
That's all for now. We are waiting for new creative ideas or criticism of what has already been written. %)

Yes, yes! Create a race that is extremely unpleasant (and stinky!) both in battle and in appearance! I support the hero development. I would replace Chaos magic with Nature magic; it's much more unpleasant.
Easy to obtain: 1) Dark Magic 2) Logistics 3) Nature Magic 4) Defense
Medium: 1) Chaos Magic 2) Sorcery 3) Light Magic 4) Learning
Low: 1) Attack 2) Mechanics 3) Leadership 4) Luck
2) The essence of the racial skill is that your hero moves more often, and the enemy's hero moves less often. Based on this, the strategy for developing the battle should be:
Easy to obtain - SORCERY (the most important quality), Darkness, Chaos, you can also take Logistics (I think it's logical, but not essential)
Medium - Learning
VERY difficult to obtain (2%) - Summoning, and all skills that increase the strength of units (Attack, Defense, Luck...), because you can't have both a strong hero and the ability to strengthen units. Although, perhaps Defense, due to ideological reasons (it's closer to the swamp, after all), can be made more common...
