The alternative upgrade turned out to be dark, so maybe it would be better to make the lizard warriors in panther skins also an alternative.
Posts from RTF is a global modification that replaces all towns in the game.
Do we need Ashan?
I don't think panthers live in deserts :) And this is closer to orcs.
you can actually script the entire alternative upgrade for the islands.
now you can try out the Gnolls in the game! They replace the Goblins.

Yes, in principle, you can!
I also had an idea to turn the desert into a wasteland (like the undead territory in Heroes 6), and make the swamp green and populate it with lizards.
Yes, it's an interesting idea. Although, I think jungles are more interesting than swamps. And most importantly, the textures should be good :D
I like it too :D
I really like it so far; the desert has become dark and features dry trees. I just need to rework the oasis.

By the way, I noticed a problem with the new magic and immunities. For example:
Water elementals have immunity to water, but the slow spell (which belongs to water magic) still affects them.
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...
slightly deviating from the topic of lizards, a suggestion arose - in the lore of Ashan, there is a unit called "Valkyrie" attributed to the Dwarf faction - was this unit considered (I saw a screenshot somewhere where the Valkyrie from Feia was made with angelic wings)
