Okay...Castle: the Life Town
I think that UbiSoft should mix some ideas in HoMM5. The best thing would be that we could choose between two creatures and they would have an upgrade. For example, there are two first level creatures in Nature town: Leprechaun and Wolf. Why shouldn’t they have an upgrade? Leprechaun could upgrade to Gnome and Wolf could upgrade to Fenrir. Upgrades should of course have more abilities, better skills.
That’s what I’ve decided after long trying to think of any good ideas.
Now, that’s what I wanted to talk about: the Towns. I thought that six levels should be enough, because I heard some rumours that UbiSoft is going to put around six of them in HoMM5. So, there we go…
The Life Town: Castle
Magic Hero: Priest (life magic)
Might Hero: Knight (combat)
Grail: Holy Grail
Provides 4000 gold; increases all Life Magic skill effects by 50%; increases all Combat skill effects by 25%; provides priests with guardian angel, knights with celestial armor; knights receive 50% more XP after combat; priests have cost of all spells reduced by half.
Creature provided - Cherub, male warrior with wings, sent from heaven to earth to help humans. It has spell immunity, permanent death ward, two attacks, teleport, can cast “Mass Heal”(three times per combat), “Resurrection”(two times per combat) and “Portal of Heaven”(1 time per combat). You can have only one Valkyrie and it cannot be transported outside the castle. If you lose it in combat, don’t mind. You’ll still have it when you’ve returned from the battle.
CreatureS

Peasant Hovel: Peasant / Militia
Peasant: Taxpayer (gives extra gold to the army, which has this unit, from every unit in the stack)

I like your idea for a life castle for Homm 5 and I also like how your organized it. I do think that the champion should not be the most powerful unit of that castle, I still like the angel. I would like to see your other ideas for the other castles that you talked about.

I really liked this life town, but there is one point where i have to dissagree, I think the chariot is underpowerd, it shoulden't be a level 2 creature, i mean in real life what would be the more powerful creature, an archer, or an archer on a powerful chariot. In my opinion a chariot should be at least level 4. But for the rest of your town, nice job man  .

the creatures
I don't know......
Your creatures aren't generic enough for the Castle....
Maybe:
1. Peasent or Squired
2. Crossbowman or Halberdier
3. Swordsman or Monk
4. Cavilier or War Chariot
5. Angel or Collusus
That's just my opinion.
the spells
I like them. Your spells were quite fit for the Life Town and balanced.
You should add some special buildings (Brotherhood of the Sword, Stables, Grail, etc.)

Quote:
5. Angel
I think that Angel cannot fight. Also, Angel cannot be dead, right? He's in aid of humans. I think Angel should come with a grail-structure as a grail-creature, defender of the town.
But if, you wish it to be a creature, I can add him some upgrades: angel / archangel / cherub
That verger should upgrade to bishop instead of cherubim.

Paladin is a non-mounted unit, while Holy knight is mounted, sacred and well-trained. That's why I prefer, Colossus and Holy Knight.

Holy Knight is like Cavilier\Champion. Champion should be the second best creature, as ever. Bring back the HOMM2 Paladin. With heavy armor, a cowl, and a Golden sword.

No. Holy Knight is better. If "resurrection" is cast on Holy Knight, it has 50% more effect. That's why I named it like this.
Paladin is second best (lower than Colossus) unit. He has good abilities, but is not as good as our good ol' Holy Knight.

I habe to go with styq here, I think that the paladin is the better creature, a paladin could even be mounted. Maybe just rename the holy knight a paladin. A paladin is the ultimate warrior of good. He should have a shiny armor, and a large golden sword.

2. Crossbowman\Marksman or Lanceman\Halberdier
3. Balista\Macrobalista or Swordsman\Crusader
4. Chariot\War-Chariot or Monk\Zealot
5. Holy-Knight\Paladin or Collosus\Golden Collosus
Grail creature: Angel

What's a Cherubum?
[qoute]
Order of Warlords[/qoute]
Order of Paladins
I think the Medic is a great idea but I don't think it should go in the Castle (It should go in the Conflux as my "Healing Totem)
And God, plz - Archers should be 1st or 2nd lvl

The Cherubin is in the popular mythology (not biblically correct mythology) a smaller, more peaceful angel. That is why they are more capable of casting healings and protections.
[sarcasm]And indeed, the medic/healer is a very good idea. [/sarcasm]

I looked in a dictionary where it was said that cherub is "angel in the highest level". Though, it can mean "little angel".
