Alternative Creature system implementation
**** UPDATE: Stronghold faction added and hero (blood/tears) affecting creature abilities implemented further.
This is the last faction for now. And most likely last update unless some good idea comes upon me. (No feedback on either factions up to now  )
*** UPDATE: Major breakthrough (at least for me). If some creature abilities are blood/tears oriented, sounds only logical that your hero being blood/tears should influence those skills even if only slightly.
** UPDATE: Added Necropolis faction. Blood / Tears mechanism for Necropolis units is not yet complete.
*UPDATE: Added inferno faction. One of Tormentor or Juggernaut still needs an alt upgrade. Blood / Tears mechanism for inferno units is not yet complete.
The purpose of this thread is to create a design for a 4(1)/3(2)/1 alt creature system for all factions. (4 cores (1 alt upgrade for a core)/3 elites (2 alt upgrades for 2 elites)/ 1 champion). As an extra, some of he creatures for each faction should be made part of the blood and tears system.
The blood and Tears concept in Heroes 6 is OK (even nice I say) but it misses a great component: Creatures participating in it!. Excuse for Ubi not doing it: With the current no alternative creatures/upgrades system, you need to use all 7 units for a faction and it is close to impossible to make a true tears or blood oriented army. Perfect way to fix this is to introduce alternate creatures and alternate upgrades.
One of the main constraints is that it should be easily implemented in the existing Heroes 6. Another is that we do not want to introduce an alternate for all creatures like in H5. (It will just feel forced!)
Blood and tears allocation points have to change for the whole game but this is not the scope of this thread. (Should be trivial enough though).
Credits for original ideas for starting this thread go to posters in the "Alternative Upgrade System" thread.
I will start with Haven and try to design this system for all factions. Please help if you like the idea. Ideas/suggestions for parts are welcome, complete factions even more  .
Overview:
Alternative Creatures
- For one of the Core creatures there should be an alternative creature.
- You will choose which one to build and the other one becomes unavailable in that town.
- On some factions there could be alternative creatures for Elites or even champions.
Alternative Upgrades
- Some of the creatures will have an alternative upgrade.
- If the building for one upgrade is built the other one becomes unavailable.
- You cannot switch a creature already upgraded to the alt upgrade.
- You can buy from a town all creatures but at that respective upgrade.
Blood Tears for creature abilities
- Some creature abilities (mainly active but also some passives) will give blood or tears.
- HERO BEING BLOOD OR TEARS SHOULD INFLUENCE THE ABILITY. (Perfect example are sisters. they can Damage/Tears or heal/Blood. Your hero is tears => extra healing and if your hero is Blood extra damage.)
- for each faction there should be a path for tears only or blood only!
Note. Green font means addition. Blue means a modification. Red means removal and black means unchanged.
HAVEN
-----------------------------------------------------
Modifications Overview:
- One alternative core for sentinel is added: Crusader oriented more on offense.
- One alternate upgrade for the archers: scatter-shot archers.
- 2 alternative Elite Upgrades: Battle griffin like H5 retaliates stronger and stronger. Sun Paladin with Unstoppable Charge that damages units he "drives by".
- Additionally, some abilities will give blood and some tears. If sisters or angels heal => Tear points. If they use ability to damage => Blood points.

I guess what you wanted to ask is if I have a beta mod for this new system. The answer is no. Or better... not this year. Right now I am just trying to imagine an alt creature system that would work for heroes 6. Maybe someone likes it...
