Ok, some questions...
Quote:
rock=stone?
Anything made of that hard stuff will work.
Quote:
For the caster-creature: would something like Cast random Curse/Blessing also count?
A caster is defined by his array of spells, so I would say no.
Quote:
I believe that is because we were given a set of rules to follow in our creation of these new towns
This week was signifcantly less limiting than the last. I thought there'd be plenty of room for originality.

He said ONLY four.

Palace
Blue Midget Elves 
"The Palace is run by Blue Elves, cousins of the Sylvan elves. Blue Elves live up north on high mountains. They are physically weak, but have high magical abilities (especially in the Summoning department). Although peaceful in nature, Blue Elves have grown worried of evil forces building power on the mainland. They also tend to dislike dwarves` eagerness to drill holes into mountains and thus destroy their natural homelann.
Eons ago, Blue Elves separated from their mainland cousins and went to live a nomadic life; travelling around, they found peace and quiet in the northern mountains among the creatures living there. Only recently have they built a decent society and started todevelop a military power to counter all the evil forces that may threaten their existence."
Hero: Oracle
Primary Skill Distribution: Defense 20%; Knowledge 30%; Attack 20%; Spellpower 30%
Hero visual: An old Blue Elf rides a goat (hehe)
Town: Mountain peaks with caves and houses. Main Building really looks like a big palace with a big tower in the middle.
Associated Colors: Light Yellow, White, Blue
Primary Spell Schools: Summoning and Destructive
Palace has a special bulding, Elemental Convertor, that converts all Destructive magic spells to Ice spells, for example:
Armageddon -> Avalanche
Meteor Shower -> Hailstorm
Implosion ->Absolute Zero
etc
The only difference is that spell element becomes Ice and grants Freezing effect if the hero has Master of Ice Perk (damage does not change). Also, Destructive Magic perks not dealing with Ice change into perks that improve Ice spells. (Would do them, but don`t have time anymore.)
Note that this change is completely optional and can be skipped for regular Destructive carnage.
Creatures
Tier 1
Snowman
"The snowmen are the general troops of Palace. They can be easily animated from snow through magic and, you know, there`s a lot of snow in the hogh mountains. They don`t really back a punch or have any great abilities, but they come in great numbers."
Stats: generally weak stats, high speed and HP
Look: Doesn`t look like a regular snowman, but rather an oddly shaped man-like lump of snow.
Abilities: Fire Vulnerability, Immunity to Ice
Iceman Upgrade
"Simply put, the Iceman is a more solid version of Snowman, thusly, it punishes the enemy more and can also withstand gretaer beating. They are still, fragile, though."
Stats: Iceman has better ATT, DEF and dmg stats.
Look: looks generaly the same but ice-like.
Abilities: Fire Vulnerability, Immunity to Ice, Frostbite*
Snow Trooper Alt Upgrade
"What differs Troopers from their weaker snowy brothers is the amount of care and time put into their creation. Despite still being fragile, these guys can, with the help of the hero`s magic, rebuild themselves."
Stats: Greater ATT, DEF and HP stats ensure better survivability.
Abilities: Fire Vulnerability, Immunity to Ice, Rebuild*
New Abilities:
Frostbite: every melee attack gives the target Frostbite status, which freezes the target on strike and also deals damage over three next turns. (damage = creatures per stack).
Rebuild: Activated ability, unlimited. Using the hero`s mana, this creature can resurrect a part of it`s stack. (the amount of creatures resurrected can be chosen, more creatures = more mana drained)
Tier 2
Rogue
"The Rogues are basically the cap of Blue Elves` physical power. They are quick and agile and should not be underestimated when it comes to their dealiness."
Stats: naturally high ATT, dmg and speed stats.
Look: similar to Dungeon`s scouts, but have blue skin and lighter cothes. Knife and a small crossbow
Abilities: Shooter, No Melee Penalty
Snow Patrol Upgrade
"These stealthy assassins will not let a good opoprtunity pass by when it comes to devastatting the enemy with an extra strong surprise attack."
Stats: again high speed and attack
Look: Have white clothes (snow camo), a flashy silver dagger and a small crossbow
Abilites: Shooter, No Melee Penalty, Critical Strike*
Alt Upgrade
"Even the mightiest of beasts have to fear these guys as it is impossible to predict when they strike at a lethal point..."
Stats: faster than the other Upgrade, but has weaker offensive stats and better defensive stats.
Look: Clothes are gray, also has a small crossbow and a flashy silver dagger.
Abilities: Shooter, No Melee Penalty, Lethal Strike*
New Abilities:
Critical Strike: attack of this creature can do 1.5X damage. (Critical Strikes can also have luck rolls)
Lethal Strike: Attack of this creature can lower the maximum HP of it`s target. (targets with higher HP lose more HP than creatures with low HP).
Tier 3
Cave Spirit
"Cave spirits "live" naturally in high mountain caves and don`t bother others much. Unless they are bothered."
Stats: Medium and balanced stats between att and defense. High speed and init, though.
Look: Similar to Necro ghost, but without the metal "toys". Only 1 shadow and it`s a bit larger than Necro ones.
Abilities: Undead, Flier, Incorporeal
Cave Shadow Upgrade
"The oldest of spirits eventually turn into mere shadows."
Stats: Better defensive stats (HP and DEF)
Look: Darker in color, not much difference.
Abilities: Undead, Flier, Incorporeal, Sorrow Strike, Shadow Bind*
Wind Spirit Alt. Upgrade
"As opposed to their gloomy, dark cousins, Wind Spirits have come out of the caves and wander in the mountains. Doing so has made them realize the power of wind."
Stats: Higher Offense and speed stats.
Look: Lighter ion color, has some wind effects around it.
Abilities: Undead, Flier, Incorporeal, Aura of Haste*, Gust*
New Abilities:
Aura of Haste: All adjecent friendly creatures get +1 to their initiative. (Initiative boost is not permanent)
Gust: The wind-like attack of this creature ignores 10% of enemy DEF and also deals increased damage to Incorporeal units.
Shadow Bind: Works like entangling roots, but is an activated ability. Targeted creature cannot move and has it`s initiative dropped by 1.
Tier 4
Pounder
"Pounders a better example of Blue Elves` animating and summoning powers. These guys make the earth beneath their feet tremble... actually, not only beneath their feet."
Stats: generally high stats, with emphasis on DEF and HP, but can deal good damage, speed is medium, though.
Looks: Looks like a massive rock dude.
Abilities: Immunity to Earth, Large Creature, Groundshake*
Boulder Upgrade
"Boulders are literally massive chunks of earth that move around and destroy everything in their path."
Stats: better defensive stats (DEF and HP)
Look: a bit darker in color, also has some more features, more detailed.
Abilities: Immunity to Earth, Large Creature, Groundshake*, Prayer of Earth*
Ferronius Alt Upgrade
"Under high magical pressure, these guys have developed an iron-like skin which makes them able to take more beating while at the same time making them even stronger."
Stats: Balanced between ATT and DEF (has less HP than Boulder)
Look: The most human-like. Has a metallic blue shine.
Abilities: Immunity to Earth, Large Creature, Ironhide*, Final Fortress*
New Abilities:
Groundshake: Activated ability, 1 time per battle. Creates an earthquake on a 4x4 selected aread on the battlefield. Damages and possibly stuns creatures in that area, also destroys walls, towers and doors.
Ironhide: Grants the creature 30% magic resistance and immunity.
Final Fortress: DEF of this creature rises drastically if the number of creatures in the stack is decreasing. (note that DEF increase also depends on the original stack size - the more creatures originally in the stack, the more you gain).
Prayer of Earth: Activated ability, unlimited. While activated, this creature becomes inactive for one turn, gets a massive DEF boost and resurrects a part of it`s stack. If reused, the DEF bonus and resurrection amount are lower - if used for the second time, both bonuses are already considerably lower.
Tier 5
Taurus
"This species of the legendary hoofed bipedal creature lives along with the Blue Elves. With their massive physiacal strength, they occasionally aid the elves if needed. And when something threatens their homeland, they ally with the elves to destroy the enemy (and possibly eat their flesh)."
Stats: A fast and sturdy charging unit who deals good damage and also has high HP.
Looks: Like Minotaur from H2 (w/ a massive axe).
Abilities: Enraged, Bravery, Cleave
Minotaurus Upgrade
"Possessing even greater strength, the Minotaurus are the spearheads of Palace`s army."
Stats: Overall better, focused on attack
Looks: Upgraded H2 Minotaur (massive axe and golden armor)
Abilities: Enraged, Bravery, Cleave, Doomblow*
Hammerhead
Stats: Overall better, better DEF stats than Minotaurus, but is still more toward offensive style.
Looks: Has blue armor a small shield and a big one-handed hammer.
Abilities: Enraged, Bravery, Block*, Armor Crush*
New Abilities
Doomblow: this creature`s attack effectively disarms a portion of the targeted stack. For the next turn (including retaliation), the enemy stacks deals 0%-50% less damage. (dmg decreased is affected by luck and Soldier`s Luck perk)
Block: Any physical attack against this creature has a chance to be blocked, dealing only 0%-50% of damage.
Armor Crush:pretty obvious, lowers enemy def (I get the feeling that this perk already exists)
Tier 6
Frost Mage (again a lame name, but forgive me)
"What the Blue Elves can`t achieve with might, they achieve with magic. Frost mages are truly masters of Ice as they use it to both attack and defend at the same time."
Stats: Low ATT and Speed, but high Dmg and DEF. Init and Hp are average, maybe a bit to the higher side.
Looks: looks like a blue midget elf (or a smurf) is hovering above ground and has a ball of ice around it (as armor).
Abilities: Caster(Spellbook: Ice Bolt, Ice Shackle*), Shooter, Large Creature, Ice Shield
Frost MasterUpgrade
Frost masters can put their skills of cold control into good use by not only damaging foes, but also weakening them. And naturally, being mages, Frost Masters want to counter their opposites - warriors."
Stats: Overall better stats, leaning more towards DEF and HP
Abilities: Large Creature, Shooter, Caster(Spellbook: Ice Bolt, Ice Shackle*), Ice Spike Shield*, Warrior Bane*
Frostweaver Alt Upgrade
"Frost Weavers focus only on killing their foes as fast as possible - extremely high damage through extremely low temperature."
Abilties: Large Creature, Shooter, Caster(Spellbook: Ice Bolt, Circle of Winter, Deep Freeze), Aurora Freeze*, Ice Shield*
New Abilities:
Tier 7
Glacial Serpent
"Glacial Serpent truly are magnificent beasts. Living in the high mountains, nobody really knows what they do or eat all day. Blue Elves have a feeling that they are directly related to gods."
Stats: Very quick and deals great damage. DEF is also above average, but lacks HP.
Looks: looks like a light blue snake/serpent with little wings. But it actually doesn`t use wings to fly, they are there for decoration mostly.
Abilities: Large Creature, Flier
Leviathan
Triton
Racial - quickly. I thought of making the racial ability about dealing extra cold damage (like cold steel) and also all creatures having natural ice defense (like Ice Shield) which acts mainly like Arcane Armor.
Perks: Mark of Cold - Like Mark of Fire, but hero active ability.

Important/Campaign Heroes
Nereun
Nereun is the supreme leader of Lair and was first the leader of the Rogues. He is brilliant in combat and knows any combat styles from all of his time studying with the other rogues.
Terther
Terther is the leader of the Werewolves and was one of the first banished from Sylvan. He is ruthless and vicious but also a great general and completely and utterly loyal to Nereun.
Serta
Serta is the ambassador from the demon lords, she is a leader amongst Succubus and once studied under Jezebeth. She is very kind on her ambassador missions but it is all smoke and mirrors, outside of them she is pretty cruel unless she is seducing.
Ranern
Ranern is the leader of the Trolls and a very strange character. He is mad from losing his entire village and everything he owned was destroyed by Stronghold when the Trolls rebelled. Yet somehow the Troll managed to become their leader, many believe that this is because he is so mad that in combat he is an amazing warrior… as long as you stay away.

I've worked out a new system. I wait until people start talking about when the deadline is until I call the round

You've done it now
...sith, give the scores I want to give it another try...
...and also, I wwant to announc something:
I'd like to open a new, true challenge for all contestors here: the Ultimative Finding Harmony Challenge
This is a private challenge by me, it has nothing to do with the overall contest rounds and I won't judge, but I will give another "Overall"-Twist to myself and anyone brave enough to accept this challenge...
...the twist is: Make the next four factions you create in this competition a "set" of unique factions, that means:
-no double-use of creatures, hero classes, town names, town themes, buildings, racial skills, etc.
-among those four factiosn you'd need to have 1 good 1 bad and 1 neutral (you can choose which alignment you want doubled )
-if you create campaigns, make them fit into one bigger story, so each new campaign should be either direct prequel or direct sequel of the other/s
...so, anyone having the will, courage and madness to bow to these aditonal free-willed twists and beat me?
P.S.: sith, I hope you're not mad about this, If you really want this not in this competition, let me know and I'll delete the post.

Yeah, I'm falling behind, so Friday can be the deadline.
@Jiriki9: With all my new twists coming, instating your challenge will make it extremely difficult to come up with new ideas. So I like it.

Haha, damn, I messed up with the humanoid thing. I retyped Non-Humanoid into Non-Human.
Hmmm... Lvl 7 must be a ... then.
Ok, time over. My fault I didn`t do this earlier. Have fun reading my incmplete faction.
