Ah, but you couldn't just build the Supreme Sky Alter or something like that and BUY supreme archangels.
Actually you sorta could, they were recruitable in towns.
How? as far as I know you could only get 7th level upgrades and they automatically became 8th level. if not, sorry, my mistake

Arrgh! NOOOO. I apologize for that, but if I may speak freely...
What have you done to my Necropolis!!!! Sorry about that ouburst, no offense meant.
-Skeletons + Guns = 
-Vampire + a rapier= . Stick to the two-handed sword. Kind of a trademark.
-Liches =  . Bad all through it. Power Lich, okay, but I don't like it (even if it is from homam). Aristocratic Lich is redundant. And horribly named. But, I won't curse you for it. Its your opinion and your Necropolis (thank Asha).
-Avenger Knight is an oxymoron. Why would something accursed seek vengeance. They have no soul to have been hurt.
-Lich Dragon- erggh, my Lich! Please don't do this!
Suggestions-
Lich Archlich -OR- Phantom Lich
Avenger knight to Ghastly Knight, Knightly Memorial to Ebon Memorial
Lich Dragon to Genodragon
Rites of Passage to Nether Shrine
PS- I mean no offense in any of this. I just take things seriously.

Skeleton Gunman ... Oh, my eyes, my eyes, they're hurting.
Why do this give me horrible nightmares of the Heroes 3 abomination comming back? Will there be also Zombies with chainsaws on their arms, or Naga tanks?

The "tower" name is kinda plain and boring. I would go for Academy all the way.
Btw, I think, Landsknecht, that you have some really mighty(or magical ) ideas but those are overshadowed by other downsides that complete those ideas.
I think your factions are solid, and by that I mean really welded togheter. Nice ideas, BUT please, in the name of whatever god or deity, please lose the guns. I know you won't but please. Guns do not belong in the Homm games, really. Not even the early ones from the renaissance. There are hundreds of REAL reasons why they should be left out. OK, a litlle bit off-topic but sorry.
I really want to see what's your idea for the dwarves.

I concur with "Vizier" as the Might Hero. And asking Landsknecht to lose guns is like telling a George Bush to stop making mistakes.

certain race (maybe S) will not get guns because they are not so civilised enough. or saw it as cheating weapons
castellans still have archers fighing alongside gunmen. i should say that archer requires extensive training for many years, with the advent of firearms, they have to be more extensive trained in order to do what smallarms cannot. like "artillery" manner, scatter shots and hurls explosive-loaded arrows with their bows!!!!!!
Back to .. ACADEMY factions
- Lifeless: creatures are created by wizards out of non-living things. "animated" by spells (could be soul , maybe not. but not in evil style like necromancers), it has no morale, no morale debuffs on other friendly units. prone to "Meit" spells (Meit is hebrew word .. uses to break golems). immune to necromancer's certain kinda spells.
- NOT ALL demons fight for hellish bosses, certain demons used to fight for (like gremlins), certain demons never in service of the Soverign., certains are captured by wizards , some willing to fight for wizards for some reasons. .. however. those demons are vulnerable to paranoid minds of castellan (certain castellan spells do damage them along with hellish creatures so watchout!)
Creatures
Level1: Gremlin Gremlin Thief (steals mana from opponent... Countermeasure against demons?... think of WW2 airmen tales) / Gremlin Janissary
Shooter, armed with magic pulse rifle (instead of using magic handgoone. they have weapons that looks more magical (wand like. but gems (should also be power generator) are located at the "chamber" ,glass lens at the muzzle. fixes "lifeless" units. Demon, prone to castellan "religious" spells
Dwelling: Millet office
Level2: Cement Gargoyle (cements are very common substance) Stone Gargoyle (defensive) / Obsidian Gargoyle (offensive)
Flyer, lifeless
Dwelling: Sculptor/carver workshop
Level3: Ceramic Golem Steel Golem (defensive) / Chrystal Golem (offensive)
Dwelling: Golem Workshop
Tanker, lifeless, high resistance against elemtal spells
Level4: Mage Enchanter (excels in buffs+offensive) / Illusionist (should be other name? excells in debuffs+defensive )
Shooter, spellcaster, human
Dwelling: School of Magic.
Level5: Djinn Benevolent Djinn (buffs+defensive) / Ifriti (debuff+offensive.... remember that .. i think Wizards finally captured ifriti from the inferno by trapping them inside the magic lamp, then they turned this evil genie into their service)
flyer, spellcaster for three times per battle. incorporeal, demon
Dwelling: Altar of Wishes
Level6: Rakshasa Sena Rakshasa Rani (defense) / Rakshasa Ksatriya (offense)
Dwelling: Vimana (they were venerable beings for the lost civilization didn't they ?)
Charger, Demon, attacks all adjacent creatures, no enemy retaliation
Level7: Colossus Talos (siege + melee) / Titan (shooter)
Tanker, lifeless, immune to certain spells
Dwelling: Colossal assembly
Level8: Chrystal Dragon Diamond Dragon (offense) / Vortex Dragon (defense)
Flyer, lifeless, immule to everything but "meit" spells, not immune to attacks inflicted by a creature being buffed by SLAYER
Structure
Village hall Town Hall City hall Capitol
Tavern Commodations
Mage Guild Magic Library (additional spells to mage guild)
Seminary (+1 knowledge once to each visiting hero) Self Access Learning Center (5% experiences for every experiences obtained + 1% per level per each SALC in posessions)
University.. the place where you can BUY skills for heroes
Market Resource converter (ohe unit of resources (except gold) can trade exactly one units of others) Artifact Merchants (new artifacts for sale each week, trades artifacts except quest ones)
*unique structure for unique ability of this faction... i 'm not a fan of wizs so i don't know  *

IS a monitor a real lizard or just something u made up? otherwise I think u should change the name. But if you don't want to, fine

Isn't the proper term 'demoniac'? And isn't it a MIGHT hero? But you can do whatever you like, I have a feeling it will still be good

The terms is right, a Demonologist is someone who studies demons, much more suited for being a magic hero.
