I have yet another question...it's not allowed to combine the must-have creature with one of the other three and have both count? I mean, if I make a wizard mounted on a dragon (or whatever flying mount else), how does it count. wizard + 1of the creatures or wizard +0.5 of the creatures or just wizard/just the creature?
...I'd like to know the same, for creatures, too (perhaps a zombie on a flying bear or so *grin*)

HISTORY:
The Wendol:
They say they were once men; men that walked and tilled the earth like civil folk. They wore cotton cloth, paid taxes, and even prayed before the altar of Sylath or Elrath. Aye, they were men in every sense of the word as one would call a man of the Empire today. Men that a boy could look up to, and men that decent women could wed. Their people were called the Evites at the dawn of new civilization, when Sar-Elam imprisoned the demons to where they belong. They lived on the nortern borders of the Empire, and even extended into Irollan lands. Their idyllic existence served as the medium of relations for the Empire and the elves.
What caused these noble people to recede into the dark side of nature? There is no concrete account of what happened, and we have only insubstantial legend to work with. Such legend is despised and rejected among the elves, for it speaks of the dark and hostile aspect of nature. Scattered throughout the world, hiding in darkness and hunting at night, evil fey lived in the world. Like the Unicorns and the Dryads, who embody the purity and peace of nature, these evil creatures embodied the fury and rage of nature. A small cult of Evites that worshiped these creatures spread like wildfire among their populace. Their people were becoming increasingly discontent with the taxes and supposed "oppression" of our glorious Empire, and it was this discontent that made their hearts receptive to the evil fey. The Empire, seeing the mass conversion of the Evites, sent an army from Talonguard to squelch the heretics, but most of their people were already gone when the army arrived; only a few noble loyalists remained.
The Evites migrated north, to the scattered frozen islands in northern Irollan, Grimheim, and Ranaar, where they breed and hunted like savage beasts. Their new Occultist magic tapped into the hostile energies of nature, giving them unique and dreaded powers that made the southern nations weary of destroying them while they were young. With their new blasphemous Occultist magic serving as the unholy glue to their people, their bodies and very souls were warped into a beastlike degradation of the men they once were. They became the Wendol.
Today, by the grace of Elrath, our Empire shares only a small portion of the burden of battling these savage servants of nature. The Sylvan elves of Irollan, ever disgusted with the Feral Wendol, battle with them not only to protect their borders, but because the honor and sanctity of Sylvanna demands such action. Likewise, the Sisters of the East, the Valkyrie, servants of Sylath, battle these creatures to protect the Free Cities. With our war against demonkind and the half-demon hordes of Ranaar ever a present concern for the Empire, I pray that these beasts never turn their eye to Talonguard.
-Duke Masu Sonus, sage of the Holy Griffin Empire. 969 YSD
The North's Hour:
This is the last entry I shall write in my journal before packing it away and beginning my hard and rushed journey to the safety to Talonguard. Our northern neighbors report the Wendol came in the mist without detection and overwhelmed their border guard with an army unforeseen by any scouts of both Grimheim and Irollan. The elves and dwarves battle against these heathen beings on their own lands, fighting for their very survival. Reports of the carnage are coming in that belong only in fictitious horror stories used to frighten children. The King has summoned all of the nobility in the northern reaches of the Empire to Talonguard for our own safety, as it will be some time before a force can be marshaled to properly protect us should raiders of the Wendol pass into our territory. I have looked into the faces of the commoners scurrying in the streets below, and there is a fear in their eyes that does not bode well for the spirit of the Empire. I pray to Elrath, for the sake of all the children of the light, that this dark storm will be overcome.
-Duke Masu Sonus, final journal entry, the night prior to him and his entourage being intercepted on the road and killed.

When a unit moves without attacking, they only use 0.75 ATB.
Shadow Heroes:
In Wendol theology, all life forces in nature have multiple aspects. The Predator hero uses their occultist magic to draw out these other aspects from themselves, creating up to 2 Shadow Heroes that go wherever the Predator hero goes. These Shadow Heroes count as individual heroes on the battlefield with their own ATB. They cannot carry artifacts, war machines, or extra creatures. These Shadow Heroes have no attack or defense attributes. Their spellpower and knowledge is based on the hero’s mastery with Occultism (see above). If a Predator hero has Basic Occultism, their Shadow Hero has 1/4th of their unmodified spellpower and knowledge, and so on and so forth. Likewise, a Shadow Hero’s effective level for the purpose of making attacks is based on the Predator hero’s mastery with Occultism.
Blackwood Grove:
The Blackwood Grove building in the ‘Feral’ town is the ultimate resort for the Predator hero to meditate in. It is here that they can give their Shadow Heroes skills. A Predator can give their 1st Shadow Hero one skill at Basic Occultism, and then they can give their 2nd Shadow Hero one skill at Expert Occultism. The Shadow Hero can only learn a skill that the predator hero has. Learning a skill requires a certain amount of resources. Below is the list:

Defense: 12 stone, 6 mercury.
Luck: 12 wood, 6 gems.
Leadership: 12 stone, 6 crystal.
*Logistics cannot be learned.
*Basic Enlightenment will increase the Shadow Heroes attributes, including attack and defense, like any Predator hero, and the EXP bonus will stack for the Predator hero.
All of the passive skills for the army stack with the Predator hero’s skills. (Example: If the Predator hero has expert defense and his 1st and 2nd Shadow Heroes both have basic defense, then the army receives –50% from all melee damage. Or likewise, Basic War Machines will further improve the War Macines.) Hero-based skills such as Sorcery or a Magic school only affect the Shadow Hero.
CAMPAIGN HEROES:
Yava:
Yava is the daughter of the witchdoctor Ravuk, the Occultist Master of the Caves of Cannasque. Unlike her father who has dedicated his life to expanding his magical prowess, Yava is a wild banshee among her people. She is admired, some say in more than one way, by the Yeti's of the north. She now plans on unleashing her army on the unaware dwarfs of Grimheim while her father prepares for the larger invasion.

Ravuk has no concern for the safety and lives of his people, and his ambitions are built solely on the delight of blood and hunting.
Specialty: Mouthpiece of Nature
The spellpower of "Summon Elementals" is increased by +4, and the initiative of elementals in the hero's army is increased by +1 per four levels of the hero.
Starting Skills: Basic Occultism, Gather Shadow, Basic Summoning Magic

Pyramid
Home of the Krayavi and their Minions...
It is told in many legends that the Shrouded South was not always so deserted... so desolate.
No, the legends of old tells of an green land controlled by an powerful civilisation, living in harmony with the land and its other inhabitants.
But this was long ago and everything have pointed that it was merely a myth... untill now.
An powerful civilisation still rules the south, but they are neither friendly nor living in harmony with nature.
No, they are feral, sinister and corruptive.
The race was once again discovered by the Wizards while on an expedition in the Shrouded South. Beyond each dune, each layer of sand they expected an paradise but instead towering spires and pyramids rose above them and an lion-like speices seemed to rule over thousands of minions such as Zombies, great constructs, Mummies, dark Spirits and other dreadful creatures.
Very little is known about this races history... but the Wizards that returned did find several tablets believed to cover their history. The Tablets was translated and it tells about that there was indeed once an friendly race ruling an civilisation there.
They used powerful technology to keep the land green and in the peak of their civilisation, they gained acess to other planes.
They summonded fearsome servants from these planes and as it was bound to happen, they accidently summoned something that was to hard to control. The demonic spirits known as Efreets.
These dark spirits seized control over the race, known as Krayavi. Resembling humanoid lions, they were slowly twisted by the spirits corruptive tendrils and whispers. And with the Krayavis fall, the Shrouded South turned into the desolate place it is today.
Some of the race fell into the void, turning into spirits of vengeance themself known as the Rakshasa.
Although the Krayavi later managed to free themself from the grasps of the Efreet, the Efreet had twisted their minds.
The Krayavi was no longer what they were before... they had been empowered and consumed by darkness and planar energies.
Instead of banishing their minions, they summoned more from the planes and binded the Efreets to them. The Efreets still had influence on them - and the Krayavi, the Masters of the Pyramids, have been commanded to bring chaos upon the world below the Planes.
Short Information
The Krayavi doesnt engage directly in combat, rather they use their minions to the dirty job for them. The only Krayavi to engage in battles are the ones controlling the minions, Overlords and Invokers, and the elities troops - the riders of the planar Phoenix.
Pyramid faction have two themes. Darkness and Fire. Alternate upgrades represent Darkness and Death will normal upgrades represent Fire and Chaos.
Faction: The Pyramid
Colors: Orange & Gold / Black & Red
Spell schools: Dark and Destructive
Might Hero and Racial Skill: Overlord and Slavery
Magic Hero and Racial Skill Invoker and Inscription
Line-Up & Tactics
The stats of Pyramid creatures are very mixed as their minions comes from different planes.
Pyramid have very good support troops though. Most, if not all of their units have some kind of utility ability.
The Zombies serves as cannon fodder for Pyramid troops. You could say that one of their upgrades (the Ghoul) works like the peasant in Chess, because the Ghoul can self-explode within enemy lines.
The Anubit are fearsome planar creatures that are very fast and agile. They can jump over obstancles and walls, steal blessings and curse enemies.
The Sphinx are constructs of the Krayavi. They serve as heavy support drops and are able to cause sandstorms and confusion over the battlefield.
The Giant Scarabs are experiments of the Krayavi. They serve has heavy tank creatures.
The Mummies are the only shooters and spellcasters of the Pyramid forces. They have an area of effect damage attack and can cast both dark and light magic.
The Dark Spirits are flyers and also support troops of the Pyramid.
The ultimate elite unit of the Pyramid forces are the Bennu riders.
1. Zombie-Wastewalker/Ghoul
2. Anubit-Spiritguard/Deathguard
3. Sphinx-Hieracosphinx/Mystical Sphinx
4. Giant Scarab-Gold Scarab/Hulk Scarab
5. Mummy-Mummy Pharaoh/Acolyte
6. Planar Spirit-Efreet/Daemon
7. Bennu-Phoenix/Simurgh
Lv1 Walker. Zombie
The Zombie are not planar beings but rather the result of necromancy. The Krayavi embraces the shadow and uses souls to fuel their war machines and technology.
Therefor, the Invokers send out bands of Anubit to harvest remote villages. The villagers souls are then contained in glyphs and their bodies are raised as mindless Zombies.
Zombies serves as pure cannon fodder for the Pyramid forces. Mummies and Planar Spirits can both sacrifice them.
Attack: 1
Defense: 1
Damage: 1-1
Speed: 5
Iniative: 8
Health: 3
Mana: N/A
Abilities: Undead
Growth: 27
Cost: 14g
Dwelling: Crypt
Comments: These Zombies can only be used for enemy distraction or for sacrifices in middle/end-game. You dont need to upgrade all, but the upgraded abilties are very nice for tier 1 creatures.
Zombie Upgrade. Wastewalker
Before an large battle, the Overlords can send out hundreds or even thousands of Zombies to weaken the enemy. These zombies walk constantly day and night and have received the name Wastewalkers.
Nothing can stop the Wastewalkers marsh and they are fast moving. The very essences of the Wastewalkers are connected with each other, making them stronger for every new unit that enters the unstoppable march.
Attack: 1
Defense: 2
Damage: 1-1
Speed: 6
Iniative: 9
Health: 5
Mana: N/A
Abilities: Undead, Unstoppable March
Growth: 27
Cost: 24g
Dwelling: Catacombs
Unstoppable March: This creature cannot be slowed or hindred and gains +1 attack for every 25 creatures joining the stack.
Tactics: These are rather week in early game, but with their special building (Sepulcher) they will be in very high numbers in the end. This means they will get a lot of attack and work very well with the Overlord might hero later.
I suggest you to take Ghouls instead of Wastewalkers early and then maybe swap them over if you have an Might hero.
Zombie Alternate Upgrade. Ghoul
The Ghouls are an fast, fercious variation of the Zombie. The Invokers make these rapid attackers rush into enemy lines and explode themself in an storm of slime and goo.
Attack: 3
Defense: 1
Damage: 1-2
Speed: 9
Iniative: 10
Health: 4
Mana: N/A
Abilities: Undead, Corpse Explosion
Growth: 27
Cost: 24g
Dwelling: Catacombs
Corpse Explosion: The creature self-explodes itself, dealing damage to all creatures around it (including allied creatures).
The damage depends on the number of creatures.
Each unit contributes to half an damage point.
Tactics: The Ghouls can be used for both creeping and rushing. They deal average damage but their real strength lies with an might hero. To get full benefit of Wastewalkers and Ghouls, one hero should have Recruitment (Leadership) to boost their numbers. With Tactics, it should be possible for stacks of Ghouls to rush into enemy lines and do Corpse Explosion in two turns (Corpse Explosion takes its own turn).
Of course your Ghouls might be quickly killed them if they stand just in front of the enemies, making the Ghouls viable for Invokers too.

@xerdux: since the name would not determine wether it's a mounted flyer or not, I guess you could even name it "Blob" if you want.
this will, finally, NOT be the place for my faction^^

As the magical portals opened the slave band and they're masters went through. The Ogres were severely changed by the magic powers that had opened the portal. However when they had met the orcs they were no longer cousins. When the orcs had passed through the portal they turned back to human form. Only several years afterward the wizards started experimenting again creating a new breed of orcs. The Ogres were infuriated by them taking the name of theyre brothers. A war ragged for years on end. A war for who was who. In the final stages the orcs had defeated the Ogres, Hobgoblins, and Rocs. Weary bands left to roam the wilderness eventually finding the Efreets who took them under they're care.
The Meteors were falling thick and fast and the ground was falling away as the last of the ogres went through. There was a click and the chains fell off. I had fur! I was also taller. Taller than the slavers. The others soon realized that too and were now smashing the slavers at will.

I have decided to this time comment to your factions, if I see it fit, and even make suggestions...I hope you see it as such and not as violent criticism.
Her is the first:
@luck_dwarf - I think you should think again about some names, 'though it may be a thing of personal preference...especially the "mounted flyer" is a bit too unspecific (yet I wasn't sure wether it should be your final name for the creature or just a concept name =) )

Oh, and I'll probably have a hard time finding the time to finish my faction... I've had such an easy time in school just until now! As soon as the Harmony Competition starts schoolwork begins to pile up!
We'll see if I'll ever get finished. Here's a taste btw, I'm making a heretic faction again with a quite cool twist imo.
I just made it for the lulz.

Even if I don`t enter this round I have not lost interest in the competition. It`s my final exams period, the next is maths and I think I`m not able to finish my faction until 8th. But keep it up, the competition feels like it has a new life.
