Considering the overly specific appearance of the Ents ;). Instead of unicorns, they could have made riders on pegasi, and instead of Ents - unicorns. The Ents could be brought to a more or less normal appearance and made neutral, or removed altogether. That's how disappointed I am with them:(

That's too radical.
I think the Ents are better now than in the beta. Ents should be with the Elves. Since they are trees, and trees are the best friends of elves. Otherwise, the riders would be too strong, and their speed should be high.
IMHO
Nothing needs to be changed. This creates an imbalance in the game.

Regarding the imbalance, I agree with you, but we're not planning on changing anything in the live game (and we wouldn't be able to anyway). It's all just... a dream...:rolleys:
Ents should be made like in Heroes of Might and Magic III. In 3D, it would be a masterpiece! And I would replace dragons with phoenixes. Starting with Heroes of Might and Magic IV, they feel more fitting.

Phoenixes were available to the Elves in the first and second parts of the game... Here, by the way, there are no other options – either a dragon or a phoenix...

Well, dragons are needed here because of the religion.
And phoenixes will fit into the elemental race that I'm waiting for in the second expansion pack.
I agree that the dendroids from the third game looked very good in 3D.

I would replace the emerald dragon with a golden one. Because, frankly, the way it looks is just awful...

The golden dragon from Heroes of Might and Magic III was magnificent! Imagine it in 3D!

I agree that golden is better, but Silanna is a dragon of the earth, and the dragon should be green.

And there is also gold in the ground... Let the dragon be bronze or brown!

Bronze or brown isn't noble; let it be gold and brown – that's the color of Dwarves and Necromancers.

Brown dragon... they might misunderstand;). If you let your imagination run wild, you could create forest dragons or something similar. They would look like green dragons, but covered in branches and leaves, like dryads, and they would glow slightly. It would look unusual and unfamiliar, but beautiful. IMHO.

Alternatively, you could completely remove the beekeeping aspect from the Dryads or reduce the number of Druids and introduce a fairytale dragon, which is probably the cutest creature among all the units in the last three installments. Give it a random offensive spell, extremely low defense, and damage similar to that of a bone dragon. An upgraded dragon could also cast mass spells on its own units, but only for a short time, to maintain balance.

Here! There was a dragon-mage in the Academy faction in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!

By the way, yes! If elves are going to get a dragon, it should be him! And it would match Silanna! You could even write a letter to Nival now, asking them to replace the emerald ones with magical ones! :)

Ha-ha.
And Nival will write a "polite refusal": D :D

Hey, I'm against it, and many elf fans will be against such innovation. The necromancers have a weak dragon because of necromancy, but here, there's no need to overcomplicate things; they're already weak (200 HP), although black dragons have 240. And if you make a magical dragon and remove magic from the druids and dryads, then Silvan will be the weakest race because they won't be able to defend against an endless number of mages, liches, and witches

You could choose not to remove magic, but in that case, the Elves would have as many as 3 spellcasters, and any Academy would be envious. And the spells would be chosen wisely. For example, against Dungeon, the Fairy would always choose "Fist," and the Dragon would never use "Chain Lightning" if the enemy has only one stack of units, and wouldn't waste "Ice Ring" on a small unit. Then the Elves wouldn't be a weak race, that's for sure.
