>Sphinx would be great
The only 'fault' with sphinxes, if you could even call it that, is that they overlap with griffins, since the only thing that differentiates the two are their heads. However, adding human hands and unnaturally-hued skin (as seen >>6122894 and in MtG examples) might do the trick. Sphinx could also be ranged tier 7 unit by default, have some sort of a special ability to inflict bad luck (as per Greek interpretation) or could have inbuilt interference ability (one of her puzzles was about day and night, and Sun and Moon are symbols used for the skill) that would let her absorb a lot less damage from damage spells while still being fully susceptible to resurrection.
>Sand faction is also something we don't have and would be a fun addition since sand is generally considered no man's land
Yeah, I don't understand why HotA team didn't just recycle or reuse sand terrain instead of creating a completely new one, but they're free to do what they want.
>so I'm partial to that one
Agreed. I haven't played DD (though I've heard it's a good game) but the more I look at it, the more I like it. The feathers surrounding her face remind me of ancient Greek headwear as seen in some of their vase paintings and sculptures.

Anyone here aware why has VCMI development seems to have slowed to a crawl? I really wish they launch 1.0 already and update their HotA package. Some bugs seem to be taking forever to fix, so I really wonder what has the dev team been up to. Also Oasis town WHEN?

>He's obviously making all of this shit up
He most likely is, but I actually would like to see a town whose native terrain is sand. You could incorporate Mummies and Nomads into the new faction.
