Kreegan, Agar's Experiments and Ghouls seem like they might be a bit too associated with existing town. Inferno is the Kreegan town, it just represents it in a bit more seemingly-supernatural way; Agar's Experiments are a rather Warlock thing, just limited to a single Warlock because of Agar's current situation as of MM6 and them being more recent than the Evil Eyes; Ghouls are rather undead-y, with not much more theme outside that, so hard to hook into another concept than Necropolis (which is full outside any 'alternate creature' theorizing), though of the three they might have the most potential as a neutral creature. Dragonslayers are maybe a bit too specific to fit in a town.
Ether Knights might be another candidate for a Plane-between-Planes town. While they are technically covered by wererats, Animalists could inspire a separate, higher level, unit.
That's why I spoke about the possibility of 1-2 alternate creatures per faction. I thought something like:
Castle: Squires(Lv.1), Dragonslayers(Lv.6 or 7)
Rampart: Leprechauns(Lv.2), Satyrs(Lv.4),
Tower: ??????????, ?????????,
Necropolis: Mummies(lv.3), Werewolves(lv.4),
Inferno: Succubus(lv3,4 or 5), Kreegan(lv.5 or 6)
Dungeon: (not sure here)
Stronghold: Berserkers, ???????????
Fortress: Cannibals, Snake-men
Conflux: Salamanders, Crystal Walkers(lv.5)/Crystal Dragons(lv.7)
Cove: Tritons, Fangarms,
Ghouls indeed, do not fit in any faction, but then again, they can somehow be integrated in the Plane Between Planes. Ether Knights are mummies that's why I didn't want to include them. I thought by adding Mummies to Necropolis, we get a town that covers both Deyja and necropolis of Enroth (H2). The "new" Ether Knights can be ghouls instead of mummies. After all, in mythology unlike in fantasy games, ghouls aren't exactly undead creatures, they're djins that live in graveyards and feed on corpses.
I would rather see alternate upgrades for all units, aka. HoMM V style, than alternate creatures.
