Merfolks
My rough idea was for the tier units is
Merman -> Merknight (Walker)
Large shield etc. etc.
Prawn skirmishers -> Crab Raiders -> Lobster commanders (Walker)
Enraged,
Stingray -> Manta Ray (flyer caster)
Mermaid -> Merqueen (caster shooter)
Hypotize
Merlocks -> MerKing (caster shooter)
Multishot
Kraken (Walker)
cerebosity
confusion
Sea Serpent -> Leviathan (Walker)
The twin caster shooter in middle tier and the caster should make up for most of the lack of flyer weakness with strong walkers, of course any unit can be made as flyers to balance out.. since all of them "swim"
I just wanna see some race refreshing with its own strategies

Xerox you can judge. I was going to run this, but figured out I am a horrible judge. Killed two perfectly good contests by my judging  .

New faction
I think it is best to create a faction that never existed before such as... Giant Insectoid race which combines all kinds of insect types such as giant spider, poisonus scorpion, vicious wasp, impervious giant bull beetle, giant centipede and of course the almighty mantis from Heroes 4.
I hope Ubisoft accept my idea and make Heroes 6 greater and better than Heroes 5 although I love so much playing Heroes 5 already.

New Faction
Well this is just my own idea that I would like to throw in because in Heroes series we have already seen all kind of races but INSECT race, I don't think so.
The only insect that was used is Mantis. Man love that creature, none can stand on its way. So why not start creating insect town?
1. First tier: Hive worker --> Hive guard
Its form will be that of an soldier ant but combined with upper torso of humanoid weilding long spear. They are small walker unit with the ability to call up reinforcement and defend their allies in battlefield.
2. Second tier: Spider mystic --> Spider magus
Here the unit will look like a half woman and spider with 2 pair of hands holding magic staff and holding orb to cast magic and they also able to attack their adversaries from afar.
3. Third tier: Wasp --> Vile Hornet
This creature will be the backbone of Insectoid race because they are such a fast flyer like "Dragonfly" from Heroes 3 but with venomous bite to poison its enemy over time.
4. Fourth tier: Black Scorpion --> Gold Scorpion
Despite its slow initiative in combat and not so big damage but its ability to paralyze its enemy with venom but depending on luck to trigger this ability.
5. Fifth tier: Giant Scarab --> King Scarab
Its high defense and very strong charge of its horn are simply unmatched which very strong that any armies unable to stand up and retaliate its fury.
6. Sixth tier: Sand Lurker --> Sand King
Dreaded by most desert walker, this giant centipede has been summoned to lay waste to any who dare to defy the Insectoid empire. Its popular move is swimming under the sand and toss its prey from below right into its fang. Beware, its venom is deadly.
7. Seventh tier(highest): Mantis --> Queen Mantis
The Pinnacle of Insectoid Empire is the almighty giant mantis that is famous for its unmatched speed to strike those unlucky to be their prey and its ability to camouflage with its surrounding to sneak attack those come too near.
About their status I haven't thought about them in detail but they should be pretty high compared to other factions but their weakness is their weakness against fire and lightning magic. Why? because they are bugs, lol.

Wll then next round is.....
ORGINAL NEW NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE in ANY HEROES FACTION.
So want a deadline?
What about 1 March? Is that enough or dou you need more time?
So what i understood is that we want a new faction that not has been seen ever in heroes before, not the creatures, nothing.
Like Ratmen, Insectoids, Avians etc.

I think that the best thing would be to come up with a whole new creative contest, instead of repeating the Weekly Faction Contest over and over again in different variations. I'll try to figure something out, but everyone is welcome to start something.

Here's a thought, what about an Abilities competition?
The officiators give a category (eg, "Attack" "Dark Magic" "Logistics") and the players come up with a ability to fit in, (eg, "Rapid strike" "Sacrifices" or "Trailblazing") and give explanations. There would be occasional things where you have to come up with a whole new ability set (racial or otherwise) with abilities for X number of Races.

I'd probably be in on this if I had time... or if I didn't. Is there still enough interest though? We've already had plenty of lengthy town design competitions for years and sometimes it's best to leave things as they are

I think that it may become quite boring after a while. We'll ran out of abilities.
We've had factions, creatures, and skills/abilities don't fit to this type of contests, IMO, so what's left is... Town designs?
