I like it (for now  ) I like the idea of Haven becoming brutal and bad force. Can demons be the good guys?  I'm looking forward for you to expand your ideas.

Nice factions. I hope you'll include some unit pics and descriptions soon. I'm working on a faction too, and the thread is just under yours xD
Will you include Racials for them as well?
I love your lineups, especially like the Romanian names of the Vampire faction, like Strigoi.
I'm desperate to learn Romanian one day

Added inferno,the 3rd elite creature for catacombs and description for Sanctuary and Necropolis.
@evinin:
Cathedral isn't bad,even they have noble objectives,just their methods are brutal,it's exactly like in middle ages.
Demons won't be good guys,in fact they will be the most evil from all.They're more related to demons from religion.Now they aren't more funny beasts like h5 or humanoids,instead they will be massive chaotic forms of flesh with a lot of mounts,tentacles,claws and eyes(inspired by cthulhu mythos)
@SkrentyzMienty:
I'm glad you like it.Yes,I will add descriptions and pics and yes i will include racials,as well.
Sunt sigur ca vei invata limba romana
