This looks like a really pretty faction. I love the shiny and elegant looking reptiles. This is a crazy suggestion, but maybe you could work in an actual dinosaur in one of the tiers? (maybe replace the spider riders with a dinosaur rider or something)  It would be cool to see a T-Rex on the battlefield, or a Pterodactyl Rider.
Also, I think it's odd how you have a Palace faction (which implies that it's really elegant and grand) and then you have a Rogue hero. It doesn't seem like it fits, but maybe I will see it better as you continue to develop the faction.

Nice new Town And i Love the pictures
Quote:
Management:
Gain 100 gold per town level
Cost: 3000 gold, 5 wood and 5 gems
Requires: Village hall, Blacksmith, Lizard den.
Town level: 3
so when town is at 28th level you get 2800 extra income nicely too much.
The toxicology racial ability proves to be more lethal threat then any decay spell. You could win by just one posion attack and make wait command to see the enemy dieing slowly But maybe I am wrong

-Palace: Solid attempt on a not so-creative faction, that could use a bti more details. Still, 35 points for it.
Dark Crystal
Palace
Cohesiveness 10/10 – quite cohesive, good work!
Storyline/History 0/10 – no history, nor campaign.
Creativity 13/15 – sounds interesting and creative, but not very original, because we have already seen such variations of lizards many times.
Battle facets 7/10 – some interesting new creatures abilities, toxicology skill sounds interesting as well, but why no feedback for every creature? And imo snakes should be tier 1 while lizardmen should be tier 2.
Discretionary 4/5 – good faction, I like it.
Total score: 34/50
Mytical
Palace - 44/50
Jiriki: 35 (25%) + DarkCrystal: 34 (25%) + Mytical: 44 (50%)
Final score= 39.25
