That's not what he meant. More like getting rid of the Military Post and replacing it with four separate dwellings. Anyway, this is neither the time nor the place to have a debate.

there is not a debate.
everybody wishes new dwellings (NCF)
and a working NCF editor.

In this sense, the stupidity of military post is real.
It's true that it's a problem (?)...
But in random environment, it's interesting not know before fight
which faction big creature is hiding.
For my share, I really more concentrate on dwellings for creatures which we really don't recruit yet.
But recruiting NCF is not actually a problem for me.

In fact, I believe we can use the slot of the Nagas dwelling (<Type>BUILDING_NAGA_TEMPLE</Type> for each of our NCF. Only the building model and the recruitable creature will change.
But I'm not sure. I'm doing tests.

Cepheus is right. I meant that I think it should be like H3 when there were 4 separate dwellings instead.
It was nothing about NCFs. I hate NCFs. Most have abilities that dont fit to them and 90% of them are ridiculousy overpowered and too high tier.

I DID IT !
Dwelling BUILDING_NAGA_TEMPLE works properly !!
And when we enter it... We can hire my Nature Protector !!!!!!!
Excellent ! New dwellings are coming !
EDIT : Plus, the editor accept it. Its advmapobjectlink does not appear in the list, but when pointing it manually, it appears in the editor without crash !

Then what's the deal with it? We are already able to place modified objects with the editor, the problem is lack of icons in the browser to manage them in easy way.
Also, the game is lacking some vital objects, such as quest guards or linked outposts. Not like I asked you to add them, but keep it in mind in case you find a possible solution.

Linked outpost already exist no ? :s
But for the quest... It is surely possible. I'll take a look.
Hey, my dwelling to recruit Nature Protector works even totally in the editor ! Only to create a map that use the new data\index.bin file
AND the picture is there, in the list !!

 tooooooooo funny.
Anyway, a new gate is opening.
for my share, I'm not really interested at work of dwelling "re-creation" for faction creatures, NCFs needs more of it.
however, using dwelling castle models to make separate dwellings for faction big creatures is also a good idea.
About NCF dwellings, the number of available object models in H5 data is too weak. Not enough for all NCFs....
we must create totally new models...

OK Then I could make a super MOD containing a dwelling for each creature...
I'll try.
But the problem is that when I do this, a index.bin file is created, then it could do conflict with NCF... But I'm not sure. My dwelling works fine...
I'll see.

I tried and I try, but impossible to reintegrate them. We must hack the exe of the game : I search every where but, in theory, it would have to work... Sorry Sim

=> Sfidanza made 199->290. He slept. He made 291->299 the day after.->Mistakes doing it ! Because of another maneer ? Who knows...
Then he redid the same method he believe right to do 300->499.
It is my theory, at last :s
=====
Problem : We will need to pass by the new imported models. I cannot make a dwellingfor each creature :
- Dungeon, it is impossible : no texture on the top of the spike... -_-
- Dwarves : no texture to the back of the building -_- BUT I used the tavern model and the "runes temple where we learn runes" (how is it in English ?) model.
It looks like that :
EDIT :
Tavern model = "Arena" = Brawlers dwelling.
Runic stuff = "?" = Rune Priests dwelling.
Oh yes, I forgot : I took example on Heroes III. All the dwellings have guards and we can only recruit the base creature (example : in the Mages Tower, we fight Mages, Archimages and Battle Mages, and after we can recruit Mages only).

I understand better but I dont understand why there been a immediately second version just for 10 slots...
300 being nicer than 290?
I will see what I can do with it. finally opening the exe. I dont know.

Thanks Warmonger
Here is the advancement ! I'm glad of it 
The Heaven Magic Guild model is used for the griffins 'it was that or nothing, because the model is not done for it : there is a hole :s)
As you saw, I've added effects to the dwelling of the brawler and to the one of the Rune Priests too. I added also their effects to the MageTowers and the djinns dwelling. I held the flag of the stables (for the Cavaliers) too.
Are them good

I don't very like mages dwelling, it's too long. Maybe try with another magic guild?
But anyway, it's great job, continue!

They look great!
Could you please put them on an actual map, just to see how well they fit...?
As for the Griffin dwelling, don't worry about it - it makes sense this way (since they are flying creatures and all).
