I think you misunderstood me. I said that if I will get another lore questions, I will ask them there.
I "hijacked" your topic, because I thought you can easly move off-topic to proper place but as you can't, you can always delete my posts.
Also all started because War-overlord used words "full list" and as you could see, it wasn't really full.

ROUND 2!
- What is the distinct difference between Liches and Vampires, where age is concerned?
Liches are older, I think.
- What barnyard animal was appointed general of the Holy Falcon Imperial Armies?
A horse?
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
The teleportation spell, The tsunami sanctuary tears hero ability thing, the cyclops punch ability thing, having them move on their turn, which for ennemy units would imply the mind control spell (puppet something I believe). Is it apparent I'm trying to do this from memory? I have a terrible name memory.
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Stronghold. 2 units with broken arrow syndrome.
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
Assuming in H6 only ('cause there are more in H5), there's centaur, harpies, wanizame, nagas, that's 4, if you count all wizard creations that would include orcs as well, and technically goblins, so that makes it 6.
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Kappas
Harpies if you count that as kicking, though that's not technically correct, at least not with talons I think...
Centaurs
Those of course include their respective upgrades.
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I ability would you pick?
- How does an incubus come into being?
Same as a succubus, but with a man.
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
Memory might be wrong on this, not sure what frenzy is...
Taunt is cast on friendly units only, and forces ennemy units (that aren't immune) to attack the friendly you cast it on. Frenzy makes the unit attack the nearest unit, friend or foe. Frenzy the ennemy completely lose control of a unit for a turn, while taunt makes (potentially) a bunch of them kinda useless (unless you want to attack the designated target). Also, taunt is might, frenzy is magic.
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
They both increase the damage done. Attack is way more reliable, but luck increases it more, when it does trigger. You're just not sure it's going to trigger enough and at the right places to make a difference.

- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I ability would you pick?

- How does an incubus come into being?
A male person that gives his loyalty to Urgash is reborn as an Incubus.
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
With taunt you don't loose control of the unit that is affected by it, so you can still just move.
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
Luck gathers gating points in addition to increased damage, but 1 point in attack gives more damage than 1 point in luck.

ROUND 2!
- What is the distinct difference between Liches and Vampires, where age is concerned?
Vampires are actually older, making their bodies more perfet and unchanging than the zombie-litch-thing. By drinking the blood of other beings, they dilute the effects of the toxic Spider's blood running through their veins, and make their bodies immortal. IDK why they don't use magic anymore, but... Vampires are the evolved form of litches, thus they are older. (Pokemon ref FTW!)
- What barnyard animal was appointed general of the Holy Falcon Imperial Armies?
The Bull Dutchy has a general.
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
The spell teleportation jumps to mind... IDK what else but that one for sure.
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Stronghold, since the goblin and Enraged Cyclops both have half range.
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
Let's see... There are 4 in Sanctuary (Priestess, Kenshi, Kappa, Shark-man), 2 in Stronghold (Harpy and Centaur) and 1 in Necropolis (Namataru). So 7
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Kappa, Harp.
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I ability would you pick?
Again it would depend on the faction, but I'll just assume I have access to all skills and say Ice Bolt, so that I can freeze them in place completely and destroy them with range.
- How does an incubus come into being?
When a male demon fails in such a spectacular way that the demon pimp changes them into an incubus. But seriously, it mostly happens when a male Demon Lord fails in a task he is assigned and is slain.
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
Frenzy causes the unit to attack the closest creature stack to them, doesn't consume the creature's turn and does increased damage. Taunt forces the closest enemy creature to target one of your creatures for reduced damage and it consumes their turn. Also, Taunt requires no mana as it is a war cry.
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
Luck triggers the Inferno racial skill, and you get more if you spend a point on the skill tree, and it adds to your chances of getting a lucky strike. Attack makes your creatures deal more damage and makes your might skills more effective.

ROUND 2!
- What is the distinct difference between Liches and Vampires, where age is concerned?
Liches keep aging, while Vampires(former Liches) regain a perfect physique, and stop aging altogether. Allegedly, this makes them rather more popular with the ladies, but this was never confirmed.
- What barnyard animal was appointed general of the Holy Falcon Imperial Armies?
A donkey?
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
Cyclops slam, Terror, Puppet Master(I take control of it, and move away), Jaguar Warrior's rush attack? I should know more, but I can't remember the others.
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Stronghold, with both shooters affected. Sanctuary has no range penalty by default, Necro uses it mainly to boost Skeletons, Inferno has Breeders, but not succubi who benefit, while the only shooter of Haven is the Nerfbowman, who again has no range penalty.
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
As many as the Wizards created, here's my shot at the list:
Since Stronghold is the beastmen faction, I'd say 7 from there, plus Lamasu, and Gremlins
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Kicks are part of some lucky strike animations, so Centaurs, Kappas, and a few others who I forgot.
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I ability would you pick?
Stone Skin/Ice Armor when playing magic, for the Might defense plus, and the damage reduction respectively, Toughness/Tactics for might, (Toughness=extra staying power, Tactics= the possibility of evading their charges when setting up army right). Ultimately, it depends on which of these I have already. (Slow can also come in handy, but the effect it has isn't powerful enough to justify an ability point, IMHO)
- How does an incubus come into being?
When a male demon is 'killed' in Sheogh, it reincarnates as one, I guess. (Then it has to work its way up the ladder again)
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
a, Taunt decreases the damage dealt from all surrounding, non-immune stacks, while Frenzy just augments the damage of the frenzied unit, b, as opposed to Frenzy, Taunt does consume the turn of all affected creatures.
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
??? I'll try: Attack provides a constant, 2.5%/point bonus damage, so it's more reliable, while Luck adds an insane percentage of bonus damage on top of the bonus from Attack, but only when it triggers. Luck is therefore awesome when it happens, but too fickle to be relied upon. (I'll state the obvious too: Luck fills the Inferno gauge, so depending on the situation, can be definitely more useful to Inferno than Attack)

When necromancer want to live forever, he drinks namtaru poison and become lich (if (s)he survived ritual ofc, if not "Asha uses all" ). When lich (un)live long enough and gain more power, he become vampire and regain his young. And later he can become vampire lord and be one of Heresh ruler council.
So vampire are always older then liches... unless that is Sandro or other liches that gain their lichdoom not by namtaru poison but from the Void.
Quote:

Tricky one. 
I nearly forgot about it but this animal was a goat.
Quote:
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
Staff of Tides, Mermaid's Tidel Wave, Dragon Eel's ice breath, Thunderbird's Cyclone, Terror spell and of course Teleport spell.
Quote:
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Academy 
I would say Stronghold, as Goblins sure need ranged penalty reduction and also has three shooters (you need Archery I and II first, to get Archery III ).
Quote:
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
Lots:
Lamasu (sort of as it reaminated remains of beastman), Harpy, Centaur, Shark Guard, Mermaid... and also Minotaur and Manticore.
Quote:
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Centaurs, Sun Rider's/Paladin's/Death Knight horse, Kappa, Unicorn, Succubus (nice legs ).
Well, humans also can kicks (between legs ), so list can be even longer.
Quote:
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I ability would you pick?
There are so many but I think Celestial Shield would be the best choise. Stone Skin and Ice Shield also are nice choice and Storm Arrows for shooters.
Quote:
- How does an incubus come into being?
Same as succubus - they are reincarnations of dead Demon Cultists, who instead pass to Asha's Spirit Realm on her moon, they end in Sheogh.
Quote:
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
Frenzy doesn't consume unit turn and can be cast on enemy or ally.
Also Taunt is might tears ability which reduce enemy damage to ally unit, while Frenzy is Magic blood ability which increase damage.
Quote:
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
Luck gives chance for 50% more basic damage = X% for 150% damage - target defense.
Higher attack over target defense gives more basic damage = 100% damage - (attack bonus - target defense) reduction.
Attack means more damage all the time, luck means extra damage from time to time.

- What is the distinct difference between Liches and Vampires, where age is concerned?
Necromancers first turn into liches when they die/become undead into Ashas service. They undergo this transformation by drinking venom milked for the Sider queens servants (Namtarus). Now the difference between liches and vampires, is that vampires have spent a loong time (400 years perhaps? I cannot recall the exact amount but a long time) in Ashas service and has replaced so much of their blood with this venom, that they need to drink the blood of the living the dilute the venom (this is the Ashan reason for why vampires drink blood).
So in short, liches grow older, get more venom in their veins, and turn into vampires to keep the balance and not die the final death from said venom.
- What barnyard animal was appointed general of the Holy Falcon Imperial Armies?
Bull
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
Cycplops crushing blow, the tsunami ability from the dynasty weapon as well as the sanctuary tear spell. Then there's also Terror, making enemies flee. Also, not sure (English not my first language) but I suppose puppet master could also be used to move enemies around?. Indirectly, frenzy can also forcibly, like puppet master, make an enemy move, but I am unsure if that fits in the definition.
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Hmm, I'd guess the orcs. They got ranged damage potential but lack the full range for example goblins, but pack the might damage that also combos well with the might hero (for tier 3 skills).
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
Hmm, lizardmen, mermaids, coral priestesses, centaurs and harpies, and maybe the lamasu, since it's a sphinx kindof? Then maybe even the fate weavers because of their human faces/upper bodies...
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Kappas actually kick, while for example kirins kindof volt their entire body upwards (could include a kick I suppose). And some of those with many legs also use them for attacks, like griffins. But even harpies use their feet, though it does not exactly constitute a true kick...
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I might ability would you pick?
One MIGHT ability? I'd probably pick Parry, since one cannot retaliate against charging sun crusaders and cannot know who'd they pick.
- How does an incubus come into being?
Well succubi are born from female heretics (alive inferno worshippers/magic users) that die and are reincarneted in Sheol. I assume the same works for males = incubi.
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
One is might and one is magic. One increases damage dealt (also to the target), while one reduces it. One has a possible aoe effect, the other doesn't. One is offensive and one is more defensive (tears/blood)
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
Well someone did some mathcraft about percentages a while ago, with attack being so much more effective per point (as in increased damage). However, luck is useful for MAGIC attacks as well, so that's better. However, attack makes the... hero attack (?) stronger. Though if you're inferno, luck is crucial for other reasons so there's another pro for luck.

- What is the distinct difference between Liches and Vampires, where age is concerned?
Vampires don't age, liches age but don't die from it.
- What barnyard animal was appointed general of the Holy Falcon Imperial Armies?
IDK
- Ways to displace units from their current position.
That one ability that one sancutary staff gives you. I don't remember anything else, there should be more.
- Which faction benefits the most from archery III?
Necropolis, because it has the most shooters.
- How many kinds of beastmen are there?
A snowton. Centaurs, Orcs, Goblins, Shark Guards, Harpies and Minotaurs for units. I think the lore may have mentioned more, like Satyrs.
- Units with an affinity for kicking!
Kappa, Centuar?, Harpy (kind of)
TBH my first thought was 'TITAN!', then I was like 'oh right, no titans..'.
- If you had one remaining ability point and were about to face sun crusaders, which tier I might ability would you pick?
Well this question is kind of loaded. I wouldn't pick and ability just for one battle, and the abilities that are good vs them I may already have. I'm going to go with ambush so that I can control where the battle takes place to reduce the bonus they get from charge.
- How does an incubus come into being?
IFK
- What is the difference between taunt and frenzy?
Taunt makes all adjacent enemy units attack one ally and that ally gets a defensive bonus, frenzy makes one unit attack the nearest unit with extra offense.
- What is the advantage of luck over attack and vice versa.
You get a lager average percent bonus from attack for most attack/ luck values, but luck can trigger the inferno racial and is better if you already have a ton of attack and not much luck.
