Aka: The Sea-Snakes
City: Tower
Colors: Sea Green, Light Green, Dark Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Teal
Worship: Shallassa, patron Goddess of the Nagas, ruler of the Oceans. They also frequently find it necessary to pay tribute to Slyath, Lord of the Sky, rather like a guest giving gifts to a host.
Core Philosophy: "...We have slept for two thousand years. And guess what world? We woke up cranky!"
Country/Kingdom: Hashima
Capital: Nariya
Hero: Diyamo
Creatures
School of Fish
Considered by some to be the most surreal sight in Ashan, the school of fish is levitated gently a few feet from the ground. They are not acutely fierce, but they are decidedly confusing. The coordination of the school allows them to surround an opponent, disabling them. Also, fish serve as excellent food, which rejuvenates them.
>School of Tuna
Tuna serve as excellent food, being fatter. Also, they are larger, and thus they disable units much better.
>School of Flying Fish
Flying fish are famous for what their name suggests: Flying. Their natural flying abilities give them a great boost in speed.
Kappa
Kappas are mischievous water spirits that frequent the shallows of South Eastern Ashan. They are similar to turtles, but they walk upright and have hands. Above all they enjoy illusory magic. Their magics can form arrows raining down on their enemies.
>Kappa Lurker
Lurkers are especially adept at illusion. They can retreat out of visibility for brief moments, appearing again just past where they logically should be, before lashing out with their specially engraved quarterstaffs.
>Kappa Trickster
Tricksters are just as adept as lurkers with illusory magiks, but in the other way. They can create solid illusions of themselves, funneling magic from their patron hero. The copies can take several hits of damage, but their originators will feel their share of their creation's pain.
Naga Samurai
Naga Samurai are the warrior class in the sea society. They spend equal amounts of time meditating and training, and achieve an incredible speed of attack. On some occasions, an enemy attack may be met with an attack first.
>Naga Shoki
Shoki are Nagan Demon hunters. Their strength in battle has taught them never to show weakness in a fight, and as such they will retaliate against even the retaliations of their enemies. When they can.
>Naga Ronin
Ronin were once the teachers of the Samurai, but later, as the tides of war began to lap, they exchanged their instructions for orders, and took up the sword once more.
Feng
Feng are spirits in the form of water birds, born of the lilies that grow in the pools tended so well by the Naga around the base of their towers. Their long beaks let them hunt for fish in water, wherever it is found, even in the pitch of battle.
>Feng Strider
Feng Striders have longest, skinniest legs, which, despite looking rather silly, give them a great speed boost in combat.
>Fenghuang
Some of the Feng who survive longest, living in the peace of the lilies will gain an affinity for the flower unmatched by any of their kind. When they die, they will fall as lilies, which will resurrect them if they fall into the water.
Kirin
Kirin are spirits that, to the casual observer, look like a cross between a Dragon and an Otter. Their long, twisting forms are graceful to behold under the water, as its weightless quality makes their whiskers float gently, forming twisting shapes in the depths.
>Kirin of the Chasms
Some of the larger Kirin hunt the creatures that inhabit the darkness of the deeper reaches of the Jade Sea. Eventually their hides loose their usual coloration, becoming paler. The speed and precision required to catch the fish of the deep sea is carried into battle.
>Kirin of the Reef
Reef Kirin are the opposites of their paler cousins. The fish they hunt live in the colorful reefs, and their pelts adapt to have colorful hides with bright oranges, subtle greens, and lacings of pink and teal. The beauty of their hides makes enemies less keen to hurt them, and they may feel bad about it afterwards.
  
Naga Floater
Naga were the first to unlock the power of magical levitation, which they wield in combat in interesting ways. Apart from other spells they can cast, Floaters and their like can cast the unique spell, “Levitate,” which gives their fellow warriors the power of flight.
>Naga Restrainer
Naga Restrainers know about countering magics just as well as calling on them. They can disable a creature from flight, and cause ropes to spring from the ground to restrain those that cannot take to the sky.
>Naga Ascender
The magic power needed a creature to fly is enormous, and creates a great strain on the Naga casting her spell. Naga Ascenders are the best in conquering this, and consequently their spells last longer.
Sea Dragon
Sea Dragons are the Children of Shalassa. They are long, with pearly eyes and undulating antennae, and they have their own magic that allows them to float through the sky. They can call up a flood from the depths of Ashan, calling upon the water that permeate the air bubbles in the rock. The connection to the waters they adore gives all creatures of the Towers an incredible rush of joy.
>Leafy Sea Dragon
Leafy Sea Dragons are creatures of the kelp forests, and the leafy growth on their feet that gives them their name is a testament to this. They can sow the seeds of their homes on the flooded battlefield, causing a deterrence to their opponents that have no understanding of how to navigate the forest.
>Azure Dragon
Azure Dragons are the largest creatures in the sea, easily dwarfing the largest Kirin. Their connection to the environment gives them the power to summon manifestations of their mother’s environment. They can also use their huge tails to churn the waters, stunning opponents.

For this time I’ll try my luck, too.
THE PAGODA:
Kah'Bilah closes the Green Dragon to the Sceptre of Oneness.
Aka: The Warriors,
Capital City: Kiron Baton
Colors: Green, Light Blue, Black
Worship: They served at first Kibn Seog, the emperor of Kiron Baton. Now his son, Thuan Seog. Their ethernal God is the Green Dragon.
Symbol: Head of the Green Dragon
Core Philosophy: "If they will attack you, defend youself. If they are defending themselves, attack them. This is the only way, staying alive."
Country: The Far-East (unknow for strangers)
History:
The years of scarcity:
Many years were gone and the wars between the seven kingdoms still didn’t come to an end. Every single land was rubbed and dot ruined. Every kingdom has lost the bigger part of his troops and dwellers. Even Necropolis and Inferno, the two great enemy had to realize, that long wars don’t bring anything good for the capitol. Moreover, both side had problems with the „supplies” because by the demons, the Gating gates become overloaded and it had to be closed and Necropolis has lost its best necromancers who could have raised quickly the dead. After a couple of days (after compromise between the kingdoms about the armistice) the demons and the necromancers have sent spies –without each others knowledge- to undiscovered lands. During this action the other five kingdoms had to renew everything they had lost and destroyed. But the Gods and the natur punished them: great famines and epidemics were everywhere. The years of scarcity has began.
Road to the Unknow:
Going through forsts and sailing through oceans was a terrible for the demons as well as for the necromancers, both sides have lost many creatures. Sometimes there were attepts to overcome the capitans but thease attepts were took down. For everbody was clear: there is no other choice, but going forwards…
Behind the hirozon:
Finally after some years the necromancers have reached a strange land far away their own land and kingdom. What they saw there was very impressive: huge ricelands where were many worker and peasant. Huge mountains and clear water was the present of the nature. Far away they saw huge buildings and statutes some built up with jewels. The necromancers have reached an unknow land: Kiron Baton, the main city of the Far East.
Battles together with the demons:
The necromancers started a huge massacre one day after the arrival. They’ve slaughtered almost all the peasants but some of them could escape. Through the corpses, mighty necromancers have made zombies, skeletons and other evil creatures. When the number of the undead have rised to the air, the demons arrive, too but four days later. The two powerful hero Kah’Bilah and Teversou, the necromancer have made a compromise: they’ll capture Kiron Baton and after that they’ll seperate the whole land between them. The grat war was near already.
The Green Dragon:
Kibn Seog, emperor of Kiron Baton was afraid, thet the necromancers will ruin together with the demons the whole country. At least he called the eleven Imepial Priest together to discuss, what thwe city should do. The decission was to break the huge Green Dragon with the Sceptre of Oneness which belinged to Kibn Seog. The city had a very high number of warriors, too.
The battle:
The battle has started. The Green Dragon flew always in the sky to protect and give power and hope to the warriors of Kiran Baton and to defeat the demons and the undeads. The undead were totally destroyed even the necromancer, Teversou. But the warriors coiuldn’t reach their glory: Kah’Bilah has flown to one of Kilan Baton’s tower where Kibn Seog was. No warrior even the Green Dragon has not seen him. Kah’Bilah and Kibn Seog have fought against each other, until the demon has killed Kibn Seog. After that, he took the Sceptre of Oneness and closed the Green Dragon in it. After that Kah’Bilah flew away. The warriors won but they’ve lost their emperor and their God, too.

Abilites: Taxpayer (only by Ploughman), Tax-collector(!)
Appearance: The Ploughmen's work is to kepp the ricefield in good condition. They will fight if they are forced to by the emperor. Without thease thease hard-working peoples, the civilians would die in hunger. Moreover they pay taxes to the emperor. The way is hard until the a Ploughman becomes a Landlord.

Speed: 5 / 5
Initiative: 8 / 9
Mana: 0 / 0
Shots: 0 / 0
Abilities: Immune to Dark Magic, Smoke Cloud(!), Poisoning Weapons(!)
Appearance: Chemists learn in different schools, how to use special plants to suprise the enemies during battles. To not to give the secrets further, they have a strong defense around their brains so the enemy could not affect them with dark spells. The self-made smoke "bombs" are great against enemy shooters because they can't see the allies anymore clear enough. Intriguers bring very strong poisons with them to make the friendly units' weapon more effective.

Damage: 2-2
Speed: 6
Initiative: 9

The Knife Throwers practise from day to midnight to reach the top of handling knives well. Distance is no penalty for them, even at night the can aim perfect. For Shuriken throwers is that a bit more difficult. But they can reach higher levels as the Knife Throwers: they can throw more shurikens to inflict damages from not only one target but from two other.

Attack: 4
Defense: 5
HP: 20
Damage: 4-5
Speed: 5
Initiative: 10
Mana: 0
Shots: 6
Abilities: Shooter, Heavy Weapon(!), Steel Edge(!)
Appearance: Not a lot of students in Kiron Baton want to learn how to inflict more damage with heavier weapon beause they think that using light "arrows" is better. Well, that's not quite true. Although Axe Throwers are rare they can kill huge numbers of enemies, however if the target stays far, they are not very effective. As if they hit a target but he won't killed, he will suffer until he's dead becuase noone is able to lug out the stcked axe.

Thanks to that, they are able to strike any enemy unit without reciving a damage. Blue Shoguns can beat up the enemy creature "walls" to make a free way for their allies to reach the heart of the enemy troops.
Level 5: Shaolin Warrior / Shaolin Healer

Defense: 12 / 15
HP: 60 / 75

Damage: 10-12
Speed: 8

An attack that makes the soul of the enemy unit weaker...and much more vulnerable. Moreover they can use once per battle a mass spell that makes the friendly units more offensive, more defensive or even cure all of them from curses.
Level 6: Bronze Lion / Gravekeeper
Attack: 22 / 22
Defense: 26 / 28
HP: 110 / 125
Damage: 17-25 / 17-25
Speed: 5 / 6
Initiative: 9 / 9
Mana: 0 / 0
Shots: 0 / 0
Abilites: Large Crature, Immune to Lightning, Ethernal Peace(!)
Appearance: Bronze Lions are one of the most offensive units of Kiron Baton. Although they were at first simple statutes, the priests were forced to make them living against the undeads and the demons. The thick skin protect them from arrows and weapons. They are completly immune to any kind of lightning. The Gravekeepers history is the same as by the Bronze Lions but their ability is more powerful. They were great fighting units because the necromancers couldn't use Raise Dead. Of course it has got the previous abilities, too.
Alternative upgrade: Protector
Attack: 22
Defense: 28
HP: 140
Damage: 15-23
Speed: 4
Initiative: 10
Mana: 0
Shots: 0
Abilities: Large Crature, Immune to Lightning, Great Protection(!)
Appearance: "Stones haven't got a heart"-as many may say this. This is not true for the great Protectors who save the life of Kiron Baton's warriors and citizens in any cost. They actually split their life with peoples in danger. poorley they are not really for fighting because of the small speed and damage.
Level 7: Azure Dragon / Sun Dragon
Attack: 29 / 32

HP: 210 / 230
Damage: 50-65 / 55-65

Initiative: 10 / 10

Shots: 4 / 4
Abilities: Flyer, Large Crature, Fire Breath, Fireball Caster(!), Immunity to Earth, Immunity to Fire
Appearance: The orginal chinese dragon on the one side with its deep blue coulored body and with its great scarlet eyes. The upgrade is almost the same except the colour: this time it is red-yellow. They've got many dragon-abilities and the speciality of them is the casting and attacking with fireballs as they would be shooters, however, the shots aren't quite much, because the monstrums have to give up a lot of power to cast such a blazing ball. The extra ability of the Sun Dragon is the immunity of fire.
Ultimate upgrade: Gold Dragon
Attack: 30
Defense: 35
HP: 230
Damage: 55-55
Speed: 11
Initiative: 11
Mana: 0

His power should still not to be dismissed lightly.

Heavy Weapon: The damage that could be inflicted depends on the distance between the shooter and his target. The more closer is the target to the shooter al the more will be the the damage he suffers. (one square distance = max damage; two squares distamce = 10% less damage; three squares distance = 20% less damage; ...)

Lvl4: Pirate ( balanced stats but good initiative no melee penalty) ((melee))
Lvl4 Upg.:Caribbean Pirate (now a mage/ warrior with better initiave no melee penalty .) ((caster/ melee))
Lvl5: Mummy (good def ok other stats) ((caster,shooter))
Lvl5 Upg.: Greater Mummy (better initiative and better spellbook.) ((caster,shooter))
Lvl6: Genie (good casting specials and ok melee.) ((caster,melee))
Lvl6 Upg: Genie Lord (better atk and spellcasting) ((caster, melee))
Lvl7: Naga (basically same thing as heroes 3 one but more powerful.) ((melee))
Lvl7: Naga (basically same thing as heroes 3 one and more powerful than naga and a ressurect spell that doesn't use mana. Can't use it twice in a row or every other time) ((caster, melee.)

@Golem Crafter: good history so far.
@Pivapivabeer: You have interesting units, but I'm not sure how they all fit into a Far East faction. However, with a good history and such you should be fine. Good luck.
@everyone else: Is anyone gonna comment on my faction?

yep, and it rocks!
a few problems. on problem is that you haven't got many naga units, and you have placed samurai low down. also, the upgrades of the samurai are too important.
shoguns owned land, much like the knights, and governed as town governers. they would only fight if they needed to personally and someone insulted their honour.
Daimyos were fuedal lords, owning land, wealth, with control over shoguns, acting like MP's or Governors to a county or state. they would almost never fight, unless they're personal residence were being invaded and there was no-one else to combat the invaders.
a good alternative for samurais would be ronins, faster, more agile, better at sword play. you could have Shoki as an upgrade, who are demon-hunters and use swordplay as well as samurai.
but otherwise good!

@Golemcrafter: Great history! This faction sounds promising.
Carry on with the good work.
@Daystar: I like tge theme of your faction. Ofcourse, your graphical works add a lot.
There are some weird creatures, like School of Fish, which I don't get at all.
However, the creatures' descriptions are very good.

Don't be so sure.
We look at the entire faction, not only the impressive graphical work, although they add something...

Nice faction, Daystar!
Only one suggestion: About the School of Fish (and its upgrades), I think it's stupid to have a fish levitating out of water. What I would suggest is have a large levitating waterball with fish inside it
Also, any comments on my faction?

EEK! must foil daystar's evil plans to dazzle GL with CG models!
btw, those fish look really docile!
"oh look, an enemy"
"maybe we should go and attack it"
"maybe, or we could just swim around for a bit"
"what are we talking about?"
"beats me"
"what we're you guys on about?"
"oh look, an enemy"
