Necropolis Renegades
Well, I saw the other renegade threads and I think some of the ideas there are good. So I decided to try to make one myself.
I took Necropolis. I think it has weakened a little from the glory days of Heroes III where only a Castle or Conflux player with equal experience could defeat it. Skeleton archers are great, Ghosts costs too much, Wraiths are a big joke, the Dragons are to weak and cost to much.
So this was what I made:
Level 1 upgrade: Skeleton Warrior
Description:
Skeleton Warriors are Skeletons trained by their necromancers in the art of war. Those are still weak troops, but they can fight better than their quickly-raised counterparts. They have been trained to survive enemy counter attacks better than to make them.
Statistics:
Cost: 27
Growth: 19
Attack: 2
Defence: 2
Damage: 2
Initiative: 12
Speed: 5
Health: 5
Special abilities: Undead, Half Retaliation
Level 2 upgrade: Walking Dead
Description:
Walking Dead are Zombies maded by the finest flesh and bones found by necromancers. They are often used as 'meat-shields' to protect the physically weaker spellcasters.
Statistics:
Cost: 65
Growth: 15
Attack: 1
Defence: 3
Damage: 1-4
Initiative: 9
Speed: 5
Health: 20
Special abilities: Undead, Enraged
Level 3 upgrade: Mane
Description:
Manes are restless spirits captured by a necromancer, forced to fight for their new master. The endless pain they are forced to endure make them totally immune to the cold spells used by some mages i battle.
Statistics:
Cost: 140
Growth: 9
Attack: 5
Defence: 5
Damage: 3-5
Initiative: 11
Speed: 6
Health: 16
Special abilities: Flyer, Undead, Incorporeal, Immunity to Cold
Level 4 upgrade: Royal Vampire
Description:
Vampires with royal blood usually fight even more intrepid than those without. They have studied the dark arts to that point that they have learnt how to transform to bats when moving from a place to another.
Statistics:
Cost: 350
Growth: 5
Attack: 11
Defence: 6
Damage: 8-9
Initiative: 11
Speed: 7
Health: 32
Special abilities: Bat Morph, Undead, No Enemy Retaliation, Life Drain
Level 5 upgrade: Demilich
Description:
Demiliches are the archmages who dominates the ruling elite in the necromantic realm. They sometimes take place on battlefield, using their knowledge to harm enemy troops.
Statistics:
Cost: 900
Growth: 3
Attack: 20
Defence: 18
Damage: 18-22
Initiative: 12
Speed: 4
Health: 60
Special abilities: Large Creature, Undead, Shooter, Death Cloud, No Range Penalty, Wound
Level 6 upgrade: Power Wight
Description:
Power Wights are evil souls enslaved by a high-ranking necromancer. They know how to weaken their enemiies by temporary aging them, thus making them both slower and weaker.
Statistics:
Cost: 1800

Attack: 25
Defence: 25
Damage: 23-33
Initiative: 11
Speed: 7
Health: 110
Special abilities: Large Creature, Undead, Aging Attack
Level 7 upgrade: Ghost Dragon
Description:
The Ghosts of the fallen dragons can sometimes be enslaved by a high ranking Necromancer. They are a great addition to any undead army.
Statistics:
Cost: 3000 + 2 mercury
Growth: 1
Attack: 34
Defence: 28
Damage: 30-35
Initiative: 10
Speed: 7
Health: 150
Special abilities: Large Creature, Undead, Flyer, Incorporeal, 75% Magic-Proof
New abilities:
Half Retaliation Skeleton Warrior)
Causes enemy units to only inflict half damage when using their retaliation strike against this unit.

The unit transforms to bat when flying. Every time the unit uses this ability, it's maximum damage increases by 1. However, it cannot increase more than 4 points over basic maximum damage.

I still don't get the point of Necropolis renegade, but it's much much better then KD's.
Those creatures are great!
Mane, Walkind dead, Power Wight and Ghost Dragon are great Necropolis creatures.
I have no idea what they have to do with renegades (Like Crossbowman, Zealot and Champion) but they are good creatures.
I think you should post it in "3rd upgrade" thread...
Also good abilities...
I missed Aging ability so much! 
Edit: Hey, it's not the original Aging attack. The original one made the attacked creature to lose 50% of the maximum HP.
And the Ghost Dragon is overpowered. Incroporeal with 7th level creature is away too strong. And with 75% magic proof?

Thanks for all replies here!
GenieLord: I would remove the Magic-poof if I could but some bug prevents me from edit my posts (sometimes). Just ignore it.
Anyway I am soon finished with the Heroes and their story.

Just put them without the pictures. You don't really need it.
It's a bonus. The actual heroes are more important.

thats would really be annoying to have a incorperible level 7
and i think i will create my very own unit
Upgrade level 7
Gate Keeper
the gate keepers are the guridians of Sylrath, they hunt down the fallen angel
look like an archangel, but have a Wights staff, a black cape, grey wings, two red (fallen angel) blades on its back
abilites: life drain, incorperible, Imuneity to all spells, Death bringer* Neverending**
*= this allous Gate Keepers to trade their staff for there swords and also kills 15% of creatures in all stacks
**= at the end of combat the last remaining Gate Keeper will cast Apocolypse with 500 spell power
