New add-on vision/thoughts/suggestions/resurrection
The Idea came long time ago, I think it was in 2006. I was making patch (Quicksilver) for WoG and wanted to add a new faction, but only released QS beta and some thoughts about that new faction. But now I'm making similar things with Heroes 5 TotE; I already released QuicsilverII RC2 version and now I wanna develop the project to a higher level and share the whole idea with a community. Ofcourse I had to remake/rethink all over again to fit in TotE+QS2 world. So here what I already have:
This addon would be called "Enemy from the depth". The addon would be with QuicksilverII MOD already (information about it and dowload can be found HERE), but it would be integrated so it wouldn't come as a MOD anymore (with all bugs fixed). EFTD would come with a new faction,with some new skills, spec. abilities, racial skills, specific monsters; there would also be some new Creature Abilities ,Spells and Neutral creatures. So here it goes....(P.S I've never been interested in storyline of HoMM,biographies,descriptions so there won;t be much about it)
------------------------
"They live among impenetrable jungle. They live where no one dares even to make one step. These creatures are mutants,outcasts,dregs of all the races. Their home are toxic swamps,woods,burned away forests,dust-heaps. They call their community the Ruinwood. These monsters were breeding,spawning and evolving. Now they need more place to live. . ."

RUINWOOD(evil might and magic race)
Some pictures from their living place;
  
  
Here are the skills of Ruinwood heroes
New ones are highlighted.Their descriptions are below.
Descriptions
Racial Skill-DESTRUCTION:
Basic Destruction-Hero can destroy buildings in a towns for 25% of the original cost.(Once per day;hero with the skill must be in that town)
Advanced Destruction-Hero can destroy buildings in a towns for 50% of the original cost.(Once per day;hero with the skill must be in that town)
Expert Destruction-Hero can destroy buildings in a towns for full cost.(Once per Day;hero with the skill must be in that town)
Ultimate Destruction-Hero can destroy buildings in a towns for full cost(Once per day;hero with the skill must be in that town); destroy objects on the map (excluding heroes,monsters,towns,mines,garrisons and bridges;only once per day and uses all the movement points for it.)
Fully destroyed town becomes Abandoned Mine(The owner is the hero who destroyed the town)
__________________________
Spec. Skills(which come from racial skill):
Fear-Some of the enemy creatures(depending on hero's level) do not show in a battle. 5% per 5 levels.
Venom-All hero's creatures gain Venom ability.
Extermination-The hero will always kill at least 1 creature in a stack. Killed creature number depends on hero's level.(1 killed creature per 5 levels,starting from the 1st).Eneme creature will get normal hero's damage + killed creatures bonus.
__________________________
Ultimate Skill:
Evolution-All creatures in hero's army become fully upgraded next day.
__________________________
Other skills:
Blessed attack-all hero's creatures have a chance to deal double damage. The chance depends on creatures luck.
-3(or less)=5%
-2=10%
-1=15%
0=20%
1=25%
2=30%
3(or more)=35%
Absorbtion-once per battle hero can put "absorbtion" on a selected friendly stack and absorbe damage which that stack is getting. Absorbet damage=Hero's level x 10, duration=defense skill points.
Meteor attack-at the begining of the battle hero automatically casts meteor shower on a radom enemy stack.(no spell or mana needed). Damage depends on hero's Destructive Magic mastery skill and spell power(like the spell would be normally cast)
Leader's strike-at the begining of the battle hero can choose which creature will start first,ignoring the initiative.
Muddy terrain-if enemy hero is in sight of the hero with this ability, he (the enemy hero) will always have 25% less movement points.
Lucky aura-all creatures in hero's army have positive luck (minimum 1).
Mystic Twister-when the battle begins (between two heroes), the hero with this ability will gain as much mana points as the enemy hero have. I.e. both heroes have 5 of knowledge so the hero with this ability will have 50 + 50 = 100 mana points.

This has a lot of interesting ideas - however, I think the Racial Skill Destruction is a bit narrow in its application. Not much use player is going to have of this until you conquer an enemy town.

Lovely proposal! I especially appreciate the choice of neutral creatures. Rust Dragon have been favorite among dragons and would be great to see naga, thunderbird and medusa in too for H6.

Well Ultimate Destruction is a good one. 
Well most, if not all, factions have racial skill related to battles, so I wanted something new. I've also loved destroying towns in WoG(and I think I'm no the only one),so I wanted to revive it.
All other new skills are related to battles and those are good ones. Also I will pay big attention to creatures' stats.
So all in all, the faction would be pleasant to play even without using Destruction.

Well I think new Heroes5 add-on (if there will be one)will work perfectly on Vista. However, I think Nival won't use any Ideas from here and we,normal people, just can't make our own add-on.
EDIT: Ruinwood creatures' stats are made. I'm not sure about cost and growth. This can be made after testings only.
EDIT2: Neutral creatures' stats added.

Good Idea
I have (only) one remark: I'd would make sure that Fire Shield is light magic.
What about new Heroes
