Well, the main critiscm is that you HAVE to get more creative.
Racial skills and abilities that are like "Increased damage dealt by 10%, "Always has positive morale", "Scores a Lucky strike on the next attack" are BORING and UNCREATIVE.
Many of your abilities are also clearly imbalanced and you should think about that. I mean a racial skill that increases damage dealt by 150% along with several other positive effects does not feel realistic at all.
I think I should start on the H6 Faction Creation Guide.  PPPP

I wouldn't go as far as naming the kingdom "Eire". That's a bit much. I'd just make up an original name for it.

I have given what I, as (a) judge, wish, on the main thread.
Right now, I especially miss the info in which setting your faction is situated. Ashan, or what? Also, in relations you set fortress as neutral - which fortress? H5 one (Dwarves) or H3 one (Swamp Bandit faction with many scaled monsters, lizardmen, etc.)?

*Lecture mode activated*
First off, let's start with your country's name. Now Eire is a good name, don't get me wrong, but it has been used many, many times. It also sounds sort of like the Protoss homeworld Auir and reminds me of said blue aliens running around with energy swords. (Ignore that second sentence) But seriously, the name Eire has been done to death, and since it seems to be a Celtic-based faction, I think you could find many, better, names rather easily or make one up for yourself.
Now, the racial seems a bit strong, full 100 moral? Or is the moral system going to be like H3, 5? Either way, that completely negates the use of moral-raising abilities and creates a much stronger faction hero. Also, with the amount of damage increased being 150% at the ultimate level, it is entirely imbalanced and sort of bland. I would suggest that you lower the effects down to something a bit more reasonable, or that you change what the ability does. For instance, instead of having the ability raise your damage, what if "Pride" reflects damage done to your creatures, or raises damage as moral goes up? With the name you have given it, Pride could be used for many different effects.
To end on a positive note, I like what you did with the walls. Making the name better is always a bonus, and it adds to the ambiance. I also like what you did with the heroes, the descriptions give you the feel that these people are both settlers and conquerors.
All in all, keep up the good work and try to keep out of the rut of the mundane. I look forward to seeing more.

Slightly less patriotism? Nice to see somebody else who's Irish, but you're really riding the line between myth and reality here with all the transplanted elements from the real-world. Cork being the capital is a new one, admittedly.

Don't know if this is still alive, but I said I give an in-between feedback to all ICTC-facs here, and I'll do.
Now for general things first.
-Not all necessary info is there. Were the deadline now, I wouldn't judge this faction. What's missing is a)complete lineup and b)the name of the town (which is not necessarily that of the faction. Or is it like that here?)
-My feeling towards this faction is mixed. It would depend on how it goes on from here. so far, I'd like more creativity, though I see potential for it.
-At many places I'd wish for much much much more details. History, relations, and Background.
Regarding certain things:
-the racial seems very strong to me...also I do not see why pride increases defense and reflects damage^^
-the hero classses themselves seem ok, the abilities...I'm unsure here. But I#ll have to et know H6 better before judging thems.
-racial buildings seem strong but ok.
-Units
--Archer...well. I must say I see this not as a so good creature. it's not creative in itself, seems to be a mix between elven arhcer and human bowman. And the keen senses seem a bit strange to me as well. How are they immune to blindness?
--Warrior...not creative, but classical and fine. Is berzerk active or passive?
