Some names are really stupid (e.g. Demilich - Demilich is only a skull). Please change them.

Manes are scotish ghost i belive. But Ghost -> Specter was better anyway. Power Lich for the win.

Manes are Latin, not Scottish, as the article in wikipedia says.

A demilich is a strictly D&D creature.

The dragons are weak once again. Pathetic...

You should play against the Shadow Dragon before you determine if they're weak or not. The spectral ability can make defeating them quite frustrating. An ability like that must be balanced by something.

No!! Not demi lich, man Arch Lich was so much better, maybe they changed it because that "many" other units also had arch in their names, like arch devil and arch mage.



Shadow Dragon? Well its just as great a name as Spectral Dragon.

But know in NP we have no units with spectre involved.

Manes is good enough but can be misleading thinking of horses hair =P

Walking Dead - Zombies, well what can I say its just as good as Zombie- Plague Zombie, the worst zombies are a plague arent they , as gazy crapsacks, yuk =)

Judging by the stats compared to other 7'th level creature stats, like the Gold Dragon, shows clearly that on long term the Shadow dragons are obviously inferior.

You really should take special abilities into acount.

And demilich is a great name,but for a skull.Why cant we have some of the upgraded creatures look completely different from unupgraded ones?

Maybe that's why they're the only level 7 unit with a horde dwelling. ;)
And as far as I know, neither the wraiths' nor the dragons' insubstancial ability is working in the open beta, which might either mean that the escriptions are old, or that Nival hasn't added it yet. I believe the former is correct.

Huh! The Upgraded lich have turned into just a skull???? Give me proof, anyway it sounds cool and the Demilich would be fine.

Demiliches turn into a skull because their magical powers are so great that they have no need for physical bodies.

And some other units might completely change as well.

No dude. Lich -> Skeletor. It's perfect. The Power of Greyskull could be a special ability. :D

1) Skeletons have their jaw displaced, if I see correctly

2) Manes doesn't fit, now that I think of it... Maybe they should replace that with Phantasm, or Specter

3) That pony tail really looks ridiculous on the Vamps... the unupgraded version actually made me laugh: they look... dunno... like taken from a Mario game or something...

4) Wraiths look awesome!

The vamps are cool, noble, they have style and looks like Dracula from VH! Vamps are more stylish in their killing spree than f.ex werewolves you know ;)
