Description
Wizards are proud seekers of knowledge, and subjugators of the natural order. They prize knowledge and research above all, and their great weakness is their desire to seek for these things in places - and in ways - that might be best left unexplored. Intellectually competitive, and sybaritic, others often find them arrogant and supercilious.
Most wizards feared the necromancers of House Eterna, so they started banishing anyone practising necromancy. The necromancers made a rebellion and fled to Heresh, since then the Seven Cities became known as the Silver League.

This is a nation based on the Academy faction from Heroes of Might and Magic V and VII with elements of IV. Some creative liberties had to be taken with the roster. And I really have no idea if I priced the units correctly - they are very unusual.

Changelog:

Great tweaks! Thank you so much. These units will be far more useful now. Thank you for listening to feedback!

Ah, thank you. That's very nice of you!

Interesting. The wiki seems to have been written by a violently pro-Heresh person. Those poor, poor necromancers... how dare anyone get mad at them for raising people's beloved dead and using them in their armies? How dare the wizards, who were actually following the rules, used magic to save the entire world twice, and are allied with the forces of goodness and light, cast out those who use totally forbidden magic which they swore never to use? :steamfacepalm:

Anyway, I wanted to thank you again for all of your hard work. I had a whole paragraph of praise for you in that first post that I had to erase because character limits, but you really are doing great work, and we appreciate your forbearance and listening to constructive criticism. Keep it up!

Hm, I'll see what I can do about the troops. Thanks for the feedback!
As for the descriptions, I was just using the information from the wiki, I didn't write them myself. So, it's the wiki who hates Academy, not me.

More HOMM factions! Most excellent! Thank you very much for all of your hard work. So much good in here... great unit sprites and descriptions, good visual cohesion, and nice feel overall.

So far, I'm finding the troops in this faction to be quite weak overall... the arcane eagles do the least damage of any creature I've ever seen, the rakshasha dual-wielders' super-low attack stat of 10 (the same as a common human militia) struggles to hit anything, and their low protection rating means they get chewed up too fast. The non-upgraded giant, too, I found useless, getting taken down quite quickly, with their protection less than that of a common human knight, low combat scores, and no healing. Are you sure you didn't mean to at least give them trample or something? Also, while the unit descriptions were excellent, the main nation description was downright hostile... you seem to really hate this faction, far more than they would tend to deserve from a lore perspective.

Still, awesome!
