... will the warcraft copying never end???
I think I'm the one who introduced most of the Warcraft copying, so I should take the blame for that. And I never even played Warcraft once ...
Anyway, I would like to throw in a comment here. Some time back, when I firstly introduced Warcraft units (and graphics), I did it with the Naga town, because the idea of a Naga town at that point was very new and foreign to most fans, and I wanted to give an example of how that might actually work in Heroes universe. Of course, a W3 plagiate town could never be introduced directly into H5 (due to copyright issues), but I still think it's valid to draw some parallels - and after all, W3 can hardly take credit for inventing the Myrmidon or the Sirens.

A Siren has nothing to do with a Myrmidon, since a Siren is a female creature, and the Myrmidon was a male unit only!
If you follow classic greek mythology, you would probably connect the Siren with Harpies - I think they are quite similar. However, it would probably make more in-game sense to relate them to Mermaids (think Harry Potter Merfolk, if you ever saw that movie). That wouldn't be very true to the original Greek Siren, however.

One should never sacrifice gameplay to gain realness, but I think it's often possible to aim for a good combination.
And I was never much a fan of HP, but I actually think the fourth movie was ok. The Dragon animation was amazing and completely blew me away from a technical point of view.

Warcraft does not have to take credit for creating myrmidons and sirens but they sure as hell can if both units are naga. i mean, if u had an orc unit and it was a grunt... u definitely copied warcraft cuz they came up with that. same with the human footman. they didn't necessarily created the names but the link between that race and that unit is undeniably warcraft. anyways...orcs and nagas will be making an appearance. i just hope that they create at least 20 spells, one for each different magic type, and one for each different level. AND!! the magic guilds will provide more accessible circles...

But then, since it's a racial, there can only be so many spells before it becomes too powerfull. I actually think the present 5 x 2 Spells for Runic Magic looks fine.

Notice that we already have 8 new spells in HoF, but for some reason, they are still "locked"

I don't know why, but when thinking of a new race they tend to centralize that race around one creature, like a dragon or a naga.
It never works.
The only exceptions are your basics like humans, elves and dwarves. H5 loves elves and ignores dwarves, which I don't like, but what can you do.
I don't think you can have a race of nagas.
Remember these new factions have to fit into the existing Heroes world seamlessly, it's not enough for them just to be cool.
That aside, this race seems to have little to do with nagas, but another sea race.  I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't think it fits. But then again, the Conflux town never fit, that's why I hated that expansion
