Simple question - will I be able to play the 5th installment of the series normally with this mod right now (downloaded the files from the first page, installed it), or should I wait a bit longer? Thank you.

I hope I can express my opinion and help you a little with the implementation of your work. I want to talk only about the creatures, because I used to be quite knowledgeable in mythology.
1. Humans: Angels and Dragons are essentially quite different, and it's not that easy to combine them. It's better to choose one of the two. Each of them has its own culture, and you need to build on that.
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).
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.
4. Naga: Naga and Kirith +, but you could add a creature similar to an octopus. I think it would fit well with the atmosphere of sea creatures.
5. Magic Chimeras: an unclear race, which includes incompatible creatures. Perhaps the information I saw at the beginning of the discussion is outdated.
6. Dark Dwarves: I would put Abaasy in place of the Golems (Abaasy - in the folklore of the Yakut peoples, a huge stone monster with iron teeth. It lives in the depths of the forest, far from people, or underground. It is born from a black stone, resembling a child. As it grows older, the stone becomes more and more like a child. At first, the stone child eats everything that people eat, but when it grows up, it begins to eat people. Sometimes they are mentioned as anthropomorphic, one-eyed, one-handed, one-legged monsters the size of a tree. They feed on the souls of people and animals, tempt people, cause misfortunes and diseases, and can deprive them of their minds). And I would add Yetun (Giant).
7. Lizardmen: 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 powerful creature.
8. Mountain Orcs: Giants are big, Cyclops are big, but with one eye. Instead of Giants, you could add Rukh (Thunderbird).
I hope I haven't offended anyone or hurt anyone's feelings, and if I have, I apologize. You are just trying to combine creatures that are difficult to reconcile with each other. And you end up with a mishmash of units in each castle.

I hope it's okay to express my opinion.

I want to talk only about the creatures, because I used to know a lot about 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

8. Mountain Orcs: Giants are big, Cyclops are big, but with one eye. Instead of Giants, you could add a Rukh (Thunderbird).

And also, regarding the damned angels. I think it would be better to make them exclusively heroes.

I thought they would be both heroes and units.

Yes, I thought so too, but it seems to me that the meeting of two angels is not very good (even if they are different).

By the way, have you already started testing the unit and building system?

No, I'm currently thinking about how to balance them and what parameters they will differ in, and I also have very little time for this.

Yes, I understand that there is little time now, but I would advise you to postpone all tasks (I mean the mod) for now and focus on this system so that you can understand what and how it will work further.

By the way, how do you like the soundtrack I selected? :D I would like to know your opinion.

Great tracks! Personally, I was thinking of using unused (or only used in campaigns) tracks. There's music for the town, battles, enemy turns, and RedHeavenHero also found music for sieges, but yours will add originality to the mod.

Yes, but when you listen to the Renegade themes, it seems like the composers didn't put much effort into it. I took the entire soundtrack from King's Bounty; I just need to find the victory, defeat, escape, and building themes, and then the ones for the heroes from the campaigns (but that's a separate topic).

I don't have any heroes from the campaign in my Dark Dwarves yet, but maybe later, like in Heroes 3, they will be used in both Multiplayer and Campaigns. And I've already chosen the soundtrack for them.

By the way, regarding elementals and dwarves. At the beginning of this thread, you wrote that because elementals replace mages, they cannot summon reinforcements, which is very bad (only this faction benefits from the summoning skill). Did you solve this problem?

Yes, I solved that problem, but now my mod is incompatible with the standard scenarios.

I think it's better not to do it that way.

But we'll still go through the scenarios, right? :)

then I'll divide the standard heroes into regular and companion heroes, and the Dwarves will have 8 heroes with different specialties, instead of 16.

Wow! 8 heroes for the campaigns 0_o

By the way, Sun Spirits and Stream Spirits use the fairy model, so I suggest replacing the spirit with a sea elf archer :)
