I'd give something like a 10- (9.7), but I don't want half numbers, so I go for:
Rating: 10 
Shortly:
Well-written history, consistent, imaginable, working.
The same goes for the creatures.
A wonderful swamp town.

Oh my... what have you done... 
Hopefully brought the all-time-favorite swamp town back to where no (lizard)man has gone before...
Ok - I´ll cut the ravings and go straight to gradings...
Race: 10 (My first ten in this category. The faction alone is well thought of. I like the fact that you make room for some internal strife (the rift). Faction hero abilities are the best and most creative seen so far IMHO. Your faction has a great feel. And finally: the faction symbol is not only nicely drawn - its harmonic curves and two-part shapes fits PERFECTLY to the faction mood and history.)
History: 8 (It is short, but consistent and to the point)
Creatures: 9 (Some very fine creatures with interesting abilities).
Balance: 8 (I was about to give you a low score here, because many creature abilities seems overpowered. But then I saw your note on balancing...)
Originality: 8 (The Sawmp town is well known, as is most of the creatures. When I none the less give you a high score here, it is because of your creativity in hero special ability (companions), creature abilities and general ´freshness´ to the sawmp town concept)
Overall: 43 (My highest rating so far - well done)

Race: 6
Nothing extraordinary to distinguish it from other swamp concepts. Fugitive background and philosophy.
History: 4
Nothing about their origins, 800 years of existence contracted into an expeditive paragraph.
Creatures: 8
A good line-up for a swamp town, with a nice array of special abilities.
Balance: 8
Very good, no uber-abilities but quite able to put up a good performance.
Originality: 7
The companion idea and some of the creature abilities make up for the lack of innovation in the creature line-up.
TOTAL: 33

Race:8. It is one of the few actual races. With five units of the same race you've done well, it could have been more.
History:4. With two entries it is far to short, the only thing in it is some infighting and a pact with the sylvan that went wrong. Not enough by far.
Creatures:7. The creatures are nice but it is nothing realy special IMHO.
Balance:6. Even with the low growth and high cost, you still have overkill with abilities. I also don't realy understand how the companions work, Are they like the mini-artifacts of Academy?
Originality:7. It is a nice variation of fortress.
Overall 32/50

Saurian
Race(3+ 4)= 7
History(1 +3 )=3 (minus one for incompleteness)
Creatures(2 + 4)=6 too many repeats
Balance(4 + 4)=8 I didn’t get how the “companion creatures” idea is to be implemented. The “no discrimination” = good morale penalty is a good idea
Originality=5
A competent remake of the swamp faction.
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])
20 to go

race - 7
history - 3
creatures - 7
balance - 7
originality - 6
an avarage town. your history is way too short. how am i supposed to get an idea about your town if there's no good history? and in my opinion, your town looks too much like fortress in HOMM 3.
total: 30/50
Good luck with the contest!

Race: 7
Very nice race concept, but needs some more depth and development. Great logo.
History: 4
Need some interesting history.
Creatures: 7
Seems like a good mix, just need a bit more cohesiveness.
Balance: 7
Need a more detailed explanation of how the specials will be balanced.
Originality: 8
Interesting special abilities.
Good way to fit a town into HOMM5.
Judge Rating: 33
You have good design skills and a great idea behind this town.
The entry needs to be expanded with more depth and interesting history.
