What are you actually expecting to do with all the neutral allied units?

I thought of this:When you would play this faction you could call for special allies which are more expensive but also unique.They would be powerful and have rare special abilities which could improve your armies.For example:you are in dire need of spellcasters.So,what to do?You would build building in which to recruit frost sages and frost mages and recruit THEM!As,frost sages/mages are powerful spellcasters you would now have required troops for expanding your empire.
I hope I have described you well.Now for famous question o you like the concept?

Aren't it normal units then? Only more expansive.. Don't really get it yet.

Hm,they would be more expansive and will be more powerful than most of town-units.
One question:I thought to make it that you have to choose only 1,2 OR 3 units out of 7 them.It would put unique twist to that.Some h4 element 
So how much neutral units out of 7 seven neutrals do you like to be able to build?

I don't think that's the problem.. But if they can build stronger than any other town, would that be balanced?

Read levels for neutral units.Week growth can be balanced.

Ok, though I don't see anything special except this town would be able to build more types of monsters?

I think it's a distant damage spell like frost ring only without the ring.

@Oak:Blizzard is a spell which when casted throws ice shards on specific area.Damage from that spell isn't very much high BUT targets from blizzard are stunned for one turn.
@Gwy.:It never was intended to be something special,only added "firepower" that can help you through the game.

I think it's nice.. I always hated it there were too less monsters to pick from.

I think that even if weak growth having the extra advantage of hiring these neutral units in town is making this town extremely powerful unless it is fickle like the portal of summoning in Dungeon town of heroes 3.
While giving the description of the troops, can you also provide a short description for their special abilities as well? Make it easier for readers to read and understand what these troops does and also easier for you to decide whether your creatures are overpowered or not imo.

Is it like HoMM 4's Nature Creature Portal? If it is, it could be balanced.

OK,boys and girls,abilities are written short and clear.Please refer to full description if you need full explanation of abilities.
Oak,I don't really know.Really don't.Oh wait,I know.Write something more about them,as I suggested to you yesterday or day before yesterday,can't really remember.
About possible allies(my town  ):hear this.You have for opponent Academy or Dungeon.He comes with his powerful magic and thinks that he will kick your... ahm ... ***.And then you attack him with your frostmages and send him to hell(***) .

hmmm...
nice town... i'll take it
heh... just had to say it
barbarians - eh... could live without them
norse mythology - always a good source of inspiration
rune magic - excellent idea...
snow covered island - as good a place as any
combination of the above - very thematic! love the town
...and now... yesss precioussss... suggestions
Associated Colours: would ditch the black/brown
Core Philosophy can be shortened to "Respect. Might. Honor. The path of the true warrior"
Creatures:
1. rename them to Maurader and Raider, slap a shield and an axe on them and they are good to go
2. no changes here, but Centaur Frost Archer seems a bit ...long
3. Snow Wolves always sounded better to me...
4. Skirmisher and Berserker might work better... both with twin axes... always a killer, no?
5. would give Valkyries rune magic and would give the Lightrunners summoning abilities (as someone else suggested)
6. would rename them to Frost Eagles and would change Zephyrs to something else (if memory serves, zephyr is south wind)
7. my mom told me never to argue with a behemoth... i trust her judgement...
all in all... a very good town that got me thinking of just what their town would look like... you certainly have something here my young drake...
