You start off well with some great ideas, things peter off a little bit as you go on (I'm not really a fan of weird, almost unpronouncable names!).

Thx. I don't think that weird names can be avoided when creting an oriental town though.

No, which is a shame, because there are some really nice creature ideas out there I think.

kobolds and baloons are nice ideas. I wonder though, how come dwarves would have baloons and mages would not?
The most of all I enjoy naga town. Putting medusas and nagas together is very logical. Other beast/woman mutants would fit this town too: harpy, mermaid, female centaur and other feminist creatures

Personally, I feel that the stronghold faction should be more about offense, and having lots of shooters kind of works against that philosophy.
