[MOD] 2nd Upgrades
As Vokial decited, in GoTP there will be no second upgrades. This means my works for this is end.
With Vokial agreement, I will relase new mod with 2nd upgrades. This masterpost will be mostly recent. I will update it, if I'll do something new.
What will be in this mod you can partly know from old GOTP threads.
aren't they preety...

Facts 
1. The mod will contain upgrades of 7ths and ONE MORE, like: Deep Dragon => Black Dragon => Darness Dragon and Shadow Witch => Shadow Matriarch => Shadow Priestess, but without two creatures in-town (nedd 2 dwellings for example Horned Deamons' and Overseers');
2. Replace System will replace new upgrades for Renegade Haven units and Neutrals;
3. Due to point 2 the mod will be NOT compatible with GoTP. Maybe in futher versions I will find a way to add creatures, not replace them;
4. The mod needs HOF to work properly;
5. HOF campaign will become unplayable.

This post is extremely good. Maybe a QP? 
Anyway, I don't know where to write it, because I don't see any feedback thread, and mabey there's already one, so I won't open a new one.
Now, to the subject:
1. The design of the Imperial Assassin is very nice, but you can find better name. What about Sharpshooter or Imperial Ranger? And the ability 'Poisoned Shot' doesn't fit him at all.
2. The Saraph looks to me like the regular Fallen Angel. I saw that you design a version of the Fallen Angel with black and red, and i looks great, much better than the regular Fallen Angel. Use it here.
3. Bloodhounds look excellent with those long tails.
4. Hell Baron looks cute.
5. The Elementalist looks very weird, too many colours. Basicly, what do Elementalists have to do with Sylvan? I would change this one.
6. Crystal Gargoyle looks awsome, just two things: It would be a bit strange to see ice in the desert. It suppose to melt, you know... And '3X3 Repair' ability doesn't fit him at all. Leave this one to the 3rd upgrade of Gremlin.
7. Thunder Lord is a great name. Looks a bit weird, but it's okay.
8. Shadow Priestess is nice.
9. Darkness Dragon looks awsome.
10. Blood Dragon is the perfect third upgrade for Ghost Dragon.
11. As I said (and you said it sounds good) the upgrade for Magma Dragon should be Plasma Dragon.
Really excellent work you have done here. Well done.

@Radar: About Haven, do you want another abandoned work from GotP, like the Griffin riders models, instead of the imperial assasin.
Also I have king of white Druid Elder for you.

The druids are the priests of Sylanna, Elemental Dragon of Earth and living embodiment of Nature. As such they are granted control over the magic of the elements, which they call upon in times of peril.

nice to see your help, Daystar
so, we need:
recoloured versions of
black dragon to --> darkness (much darker, brown; I told it because it is not so clear on pic)
druid elder --> elementalist
emerald dragon --> faerie (if you want, prepare his texture also ! )
cerberi --> bloodhound (a little more red)
thunder lord I dont know, I haven't got his texture yet
death knight --> dread (black, as in pic)
all ONLY in 128x128 dds, others do not work though
thx. other you'll prepare when I'll finish the mod and send it to you

being rediculously useless, I cannot get to the image files. If you could send them to me, that would work. Or if you can tell me how, that also works.
Infact, if there is a good retexturing tutorial ANYWHERE online for HV, that would be great.

The image files used by Heroes 5 are ".dds" image files. Use Photoshop to convert the images to .pds (photoshop files) and then edit them in Photoshop.
The skins are divided into several texture types. Using the Skeleton as an example:
The "skeleton.tga.dds" is the main model, which has a "skeleton_mirror.tga.dds" to edit the "shiny parts" of the model.
And then there is the adventure map model:
"skeleton_LOD-skeleton_LOD.(texture).dds", which is the same image as the "skeleton.tga.dds but with half size, 256x256 (the normal image is 512x512)
The icon files are in 4 different sizes: 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 and 55x55. The names are like: "ico_skeleton_64.dds".
You can use image in .bmp, .png, .jpg or almost every type of image, open the pics with photoshop or this tool and save it like .dds in 32 bit
There can also be more image files if the skin consists of 2 or more parts, like the Black Knight (where you have additional files for the horse and weapon).
You can edit the biggest of the two skin files first, in this case the "Skeleton.tga.dds". Made the changes, save it and then after You have saved everything, resize the image from 512x512 to 256x256 and saves the file in ".psd" file.
Convert the two files in .DDS. And then place the files in their respective folders.
P.S.
If you want to use Photoshop you need this Plug-in.

one last thing to end the deed: a Daystar with no illusion. (if you don't know what the hex I'm talking about, read The Book of the Dun Cow
How do I put them into .pak files which the game then reads?

Plasma = Fire + Air, so Immune to Fire and Lightning.

Plasma is the fourth substance form, yes. FIRE is PLASMA, in case you wonder. That is plasma: very hot air (gaze)

It's the both thing.
Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. Plasma is a yellow colored liquid. Plasma is the largest single component of blood, making up about 55 percent of total blood volume.
But do you know what is the plasma substance form? It doesn't look like fire... and you dont need fire to make it, however it have nothing with the fire... but this is your mod and this only my opinion.

Hmmm.... In Battle Zone (a game) you have Assault Tanks which fire with Plasma and the shots are green
It's weird how different people think about plasma...

Ehm, a slight correction here!
There are two types of plasma:
1) Plasma is a general term about a liquid substance, like blood plasma.
2) Plasma is an ionized gas.
The second definition is the physical definition of Plasma. You form plasma by heating normal gasses to extremely high temperatures (examples are Argon plasma which has a temperature about 10.000 degree).
Therefore, the term "plasma" makes perfect sense as an upgrade of something fiery, or more precisely, as the combination of the elements air and fire.
