Heroes of the Apocalypse
Enter the Four terrible Horseman of the Apocalypse, Death, War, Famine and Pestilence.
My game is based on HOMM and has the same style and many simularities, but it is a new start, so now Ashan or HOMM3 worlds, this is a new world.
It has 8 towns, 4 towns based on the Apocalypse, and 4 towns that are opposite of those towns (which I still have to come up with) that doesn't mean the towns are gentle and good, they have to work together to stop the apocalypse.
I'm thinking of ignoring Haven/Castle for this game, there have been enough humans already, gone with them, and Berserkers are also humans.
The four other towns are based on: Academy (at least in magic and deserts), Sylvan/Dark Forest (all forest creatures have to work together to stop the coming apocalypse), some river/water based town and the underground, much like dungeon but very different.
There are also 4 lesser towns with less creatures, they are neutral in the storyline and don't involve much: Inferno, an ICe-based town, A poisonous jungle town where Vish Kanya rule and a ancient labaratory type of town, with experiments of all types.
Note - Not all upgrade names are final, I'm having a hard time with finding the right/perfect upgrade names right away.
This is under construction and I hope for once that I finish it.
NOTE TO SELF: The towns gain 3 extra creatures each, tiers 1, 4 and 7 get an alternative choice creature.
CITY OF DEATH
- Death is inevitable, that is for sure. But the Horseman of Death makes sure death also comes for the immortal or young creatures. The more death it spreads the bigger his armies of bone and death become.
1. Scarabs: (Carrion Beetles -upg- Scarab Swarm): (Flyer/Melee) <===> Vampiric Ooze (coming soon)
2. Barghest: (Barghest -upg- Gwyllgi): (Walker/Melee)
3. Banshee: (Banshee -upg- Baoban Sith): (Flyer/Caster)
4. Sluagh: (Sluagh -upg- Soul Caller): (Walker/Ranged) <===> Baykok (coming soon)
5. Valravn: (Valravn -upg- Raven Mocker): (Shifter/Flyer/Melee)
6. Dullahan: (Dullahan -upg- Death Knight): (Walker/Melee)
7. Ankou: (Reaper -upg- Ankou): (Teleport/Caster) <===> Fext (On undead wyvern, coming soon)
NOTE- The Dullahan is riding on a Helhest
Other Monsters that suit the town
Ammit / Baykok / Lich
CITY OF WAR
- The most violent town, physical pain and anger is what this Horseman thrives on. Berserkers his favorite pets rule the cities and torture other beasts into vehicles of war and pain. When the Horseman of War is near, all emotions turn hostiles and wars are soon to follow.
1. Berserker: (Berserker Warrior -upg- Berserker Warseer): (Walker/Melee) <===> Redcap (Coming Soon)
2. Bocanach: (War Satyr -upg- Bocanach): (Walker/Ranged)
3. Alicanto: (Alicanto -upg- Asipatra): (Flyer/Melee)
4. Makhai: (Makhai -upg- Geryon): (Walker/Melee) <===> Berserker Warlord (coming soon)
5. Jubokko (Jubokko -upg- Warborn Jubokko) (Walker/Ranged)
6. Valkyrie: (War Angel -upg- Valkyrie): (Flyer/Caster)
7. Juggernaut: (Juggernaut -upg- Ancient Juggernaut): (Walker/Melee) <===> Hekantonkheires (coming soon)
Other Monsters that suit the town
Einherjar
CITY OF PESTILENCE
- The Horseman of Pestilence uses all types of variant horrors that spread his beloved diseases, the more contagious the better. Most monsters have their own special types of disease and love to cause misery and pain rather than death.
1. Drekavac: (Drekavac -upg- Rot Child): (Walker/Ranged) <===> Lavellan: (Lavellan -upg- Dire Lavellan): (Walker/Melee)
2. Chupacabra: (Chupacabra -upg- Plague Beast): (Walker/Melee)
3. Aerico: (Aerico -upg- Plague Elemental) (Flyer/Melee)
4. Pesta: (Pesta -upg- Pestilence Hag): (Walker/Caster) <===> Leraje: (Plague Archer -upg- Leraje): (Walker/Ranged)
5. Druj Nasu: (Druj Nasu -upg- Beelzebub): (Flyer/Melee)
6. Nuckelavee: (Nuckelavee -upg- Lord of Corruption): (Walker/Melee)
7. Codrille: (Plague Drake -upg- Blight Dragon): (Flyer/Melee) <===> Papinijuwari: (Meteor Giant -upg- Papinijuwari): (Walker/Ranged)
Other Monsters that suit the town
Iku-Turso / Nosoi / Keukegen / Vrykolakas
CITY OF FAMINE
- By far the most difficult town to find creatures for, Famine is starvation, destruction of food and the deniance of getting food and water, all victims and casulties of hunger and starvation will end up in the armies of the Horseman of Famine.
1. Fear Gorta: (Hunger Pod -upg- Fear Gorta): (Walker/Melee) <===> Alp-Luachra: (Alpluachra -upg- Famine Parasite): (Parasite/Melee)
2. Psoglav: (Psoglav -upg- Starved Psoglav): (Walker/Ranged)
3. Brucha: (Brucha -upg- Iron Brucha): (Walker/Melee)
4. Chichevache: (Chichevache -upg- Catoblepas): (Walker/Melee) <===> Apaosha: (Apaosha -upg- Drought Bringer): (Flyer/Melee)
5. Jidra: (Faduah -upg- Jidra): (Walker/Ranged)
6. Vritra: (Vritra -upg- Drought Wyrm): (Walker/Melee)
7. Gashadokuro: (Gashadokuro -upg- Bone Shifter): (Shifter/Melee) <===> Wendigo: (Wendigo -upg- Ancient Wendigo): (Flyer/Caster)

Awesome! 
will look through more thoroughly later when i have more time but first impressions is that Death overlap thematically with pestilence and famine too much but I've just skimmed through so far. Looking forward to reading more!

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the cis are at it again.

Thanks!
I just cut the theme undead-should-be-all-in-one-town.
Gashodokuro isn't a force of death but is born from a starving town.
You should wait for the descriptions of the creatures, that will make you differ your opinion of them being similar.
While death has most undead, they aren't strict to that town, all undead in Death's town have powers over death, yeah sure ZOmbies and Skeletons are undead too so they could be death based, but they lack the powers that make them interesting for the Horseman of Death.

Perfect way to emplement an half mod./half expansion to H7 or, H6.
I literally approve of this great work of yours Rakshasa2.
By installing this new mod.-expansion, it would remove the Necro Town and the Dungeon Town that these two only represent the dark side of the Academy Town and the Sylvan Town respectively.
What remains are the four other Good Towns of Haven, Sylvan, Academy and, Stronghold. By adding those literally new towns to the roster of factions of this latest edition of HoMM, the game now has its full roster of 8 factions instead of a mere 6 factions.
Anybody agree with this new lineup of factions proposed here? Yes or No will suffice. Thank-You.
