Race: 7
A good race, with a nice identity and background, although the philosophy isn't entirely relevant in the context of the race's history. Their affiliation with so many elements (sea, lightning, lava) causes a bit of redundancy. Also, you haven't stated their religion.
History: 7
Very good, from the faction's perspective. It creates some landmarks for the identity of your race. If it were actually connected with the history of the other factions it would have earned more points
Creatures: 8
If not for each creature's convincing background, I would have said they're just a bunch of critters rounded up together, but as it is, the line-up actually works. There is a small issue of efreets not fitting the benevolent-and-eager-to-cooperate image you've given them, but an 8 is well deserved here.
Balance: 7
Just a tad too powerful, with 2 creatures that have no enemy retaliation and that 30% bonus for the tidal warriors, but no exaggerations I guess.
Originality: 7
Very original background and mix of creatures, some fine special abilities, however, the hero racial is a rip-off of the Academy Wizard's Artificer Skill.
TOTAL: 36

Race( 2+3 )=5
History(2 + 3)=5
Creatures( 3+ 0)=3 too many repeats and no cohesion
Balance( 4+4)=8 Strategically this faction looks well thought out
Originality=6
This faction is really unfocused: lava, sea, effreet, nordics, witches, thunderbirds, harpies,
What do all of these have to do with each other? I don’t really know. This faction is like the Sunday soup that your mom makes when she puts all the leftover vegetables and meat in the same pot at the end of the week.
(plus two for effort)
Total Score= 29
How I graded these:
Race (Originality [1-5]+Compatibility with HOMM5 universe[1-5])
History (How interesting is it to me [1-5] +Compatibility with HOMM5 universe [1-5])
Creatures (Originality [1-5] +Internal Consistency [1-5])
Balance (are the special skills inventive [1-5] + Does it have a variety of flyers, shooters, walkers, spell-casters [1-5]
Originality (all the originality scores added up and divided by two. This means that creativity counts twice. [1-10])
22 to go

Race: 8
Good description. Just missing a better feel of this race as people.
History: 6
A very good start, but needs the second part about encounters with other races.
Creatures: 8
Good except the slightly undead creatures which seem out of place.
Balance: 7
Pretty good, missing shooters and a bit weak on magic/magic resistance.
Originality: 8
A lot of creatures are reused, but otherways pretty original.
Judge Rating: 37
Good work. Needs some more improvement.
TheNordicKing: 30

Okay thanks for voting.There were some very good critisizm.Actually there were two main points writers were absolutely right;
First: the history was too short and did not end at modern times BECAUSE I didnt know it should  .Thats my fault ofcourse I also didnt knew WHEN the modern times ended.This was corrected
Second: The Volcanic Smithing is very identical to artificier ability of Academy but I also didnt knew the artificier ability when ý wrote this proposal.This was also changed
Third:I didnt knew that being orginality corresponded to using "totally" new creatures but I wouldnt cared if knew also.Some creatures must stay classic like harpies.But I dont judge people who think otherwise,its just another point of view thats all
Forth:About balance;I still think its pretty balanced and I "wanted" lack of shooting in this castle but still again this is a personal choice of mine no one should have to agree on that.
Hero specilizations,army strategy part are added to the main post I posted to the main contest.
Anyway I had very good time reading reviews about my race,I had very good time.I am not angry or upset with anyone(even confused sipirit )and I shouldnt be on the contrary I hope we are more like a community now who shared the same goal(tears roll ).I also liked voting and seeing so many designs.

RACIAL ABILITY
WATCH OVER:The REIS have seen many battles and dire situations where co-operations was a “must” both on sea and land.They are very skilled in giving complex orders and deciding who is going to work with who.The sea has tought this well the importance of defending a mate and its still a valid and beneficial in battle.
Ability:In battle units can be designed to protect other stacks by the hero.In this case the defended creature receives a defense bonus equal to some pertange of the defender creatures attack.If the defended creature is attacked there is a chance that the defender creature gets a free attack aganist the attacker.Does only work only the creature is adjacent to the its defender and the defender creature receives %20(rounded up) penalty to initiative.Does not work on the enemies half of the battlefield since its a defending ability not an attacking ability.Only one creature can be assigned to defend one creature.
