Which race would you add to Heroes? Auto-translated

Not barbarians, but rather some kind of Vikings.

Perhaps you could suggest your own idea for a philosophy? I'll try to develop it.

Freedom, wealth, life... at someone else's expense!

Freedom, wealth, life... at someone else's expense!

And this, if I may, are already demons...

Demons don't need wealth, freedom, or life... They want to destroy everything, while the Barbarians want to conquer and enslave!

Freedom, wealth, life... at someone else's expense!

Philosophy: "We want freedom. Just freedom. We don't want to be anyone's slaves, even if our masters lead us to happiness. We want wealth, but not just any wealth, but military plunder! Only wealth taken in battle has value."

Brilliant, comrade! The emblem is either a bloodstain or an axe.

Brilliant, comrade! The emblem should be a bloodstain or an axe.

Then, an axe on a blood-red background.;)

And even cooler – a bloodstained axe on a dark blue background.

That's also an option. Another idea is a staff with a skull on top.

And also bloodied...
What's the big deal – a pitchfork and an axe are crossed.

You guys are getting carried away and going off-topic; this is a discussion about factions. Please try to stay on topic.

And also bloodied...
What's wrong with having a cross and an axe?

Well, you've come up with creatures, a motto, a philosophy, and a symbol. But who is the hero? I suggest a Chieftain – he boosts morale and inspires fury.

Xaker, this is exactly about the factions...
And the idea with the hero... the ability remained.

Xaker, this is exactly about the factions...
And the idea with the hero... remains as an ability.

Regarding the ability. For example, Berserk (increases attack by sacrificing defense for the entire army), Marauder (grants +5 gold for each enemy killed), Instinct (reveals all enemy units), Totem (summons a Spirit of the Ancestor, level 7, for the duration of the battle).

In reality, you can come up with a great many races. It all depends on what you need: a good Castle and well-known monsters, or your own invented race? If it's the first, you could create something like Tauren, Orcs (although it's very difficult to wipe out an entire race), Sith, etc. But if it's the second, you could create an underwater world: the Castle stands only on the water or a shoal, and the inhabitants are various types of aquatic creatures. For example: 1. Mermaid (as always) - a melee warrior with the ability to throw a web and bind to a location. 2. Leshy - spits through a tube with a poisoning effect (but make the poison different from that of the Assassins). 3. Flying fish - not a very strong flying unit with a low health level, high defense, and immunity to magic. 4. Underground Lord - a warrior who does something like teleportation, but only underground, with the ability to burrow, doubling his defense. 5. Turtle with spikes on its shell - a warrior with the ability to shoot its spikes at nearby warriors. If attacked in melee, the attacker receives 1/5 of the damage they inflict. +15% protection from arrows and magic. 6. Water Lord - a mage, resembling a water elemental, using ice spells. 7. Underwater Serpent - a long snake (like a Chinese dragon) with the ability to jump - overcomes any distance and attacks the one in direct sight (at will), dealing damage multiplied by a coefficient that depends on the distance.
