Anytime a stack or ability mark a creature your opposing stack element can break the mark by using special ability (ex : vanara mark creature chimera use special ability). Also any creature in army being damaged by the opposing element could suffer more damage like ~10% more.
(element marked creature have a sign of the element they are marked with) A hero has an extra spell that can only be used on friendly stack (check scholar description). The extra spell in return activate the ability in yellow.


Academy ability: Any creature marked fill the bar and any creature or the hero breaking the mark fills the bar even more

Level 1 : Army deal ~10% more damage when breaking a mark this turn
Level 2 : Army deal ~15% more damage when breaking a mark this turn. Mark ~1 creature with 1 random element
Level 3 : Army deal ~20% more damage when breaking a mark this turn. Mark ~2 creature with 1 random element
Signature : For next 2 turn hero can cast any 2 magic or might ability in the same turn

Garuda, male genie and phoenix look bad@ss.

[Shawn85]

I'm probably the biggest academy fan on the planet and I want them to be as close to h5 as possible. But awesome work man these are interesting ideas, I only dislike changing the name mage to scholar and the phoenix unit is a bas *** summoning spell, no need to make it a unit. But super interesting my man (y). Also manticore isn't indo persian or arabian mythology to my knowledge, wasn't it a greek monster?

[castiel_gabriel]

It appear also in Greek mythology but it was first in Persian that it appeared anyway academy rule and good point if it's a summon it doesn't need to be a unit but boy do i love phoenix. I remember has a kid my grandma used to told me old legend about phoenix ahhhh memories. I'll think of something else more fun for me

of course u can't post idea to don't wanna be stealing all the fun

[Shawn85]

lol

[ChaosArchon85]

Academy werewolves! Why doesn't HoMM have werewolves?

[Thunion]

Also manticore isn't indo persian or arabian mythology to my knowledge, wasn't it a greek monster?

Yeah it is,as is titan ;D.But i really would like to see warewolves, i mean they mixed people with horses,sharks,birds didint they ever tryed to mix a man and land predator? we got jeguar guy allready so i think wolfman would be cool,of course it should be neutral monster like "Packs of strongest warewolves who survived after BeastMan Rebbelion!"

[sanctuary.gr]

in my opinion warewolves are more suited to sylvan units as creatures of the forest.
i really like your thoughts castiel_gabriel.
i might do something similar to yours with sylvan

[Thunion]

in my opinion warewolves are more suited to sylvan units as creatures of the forest.

It depends on how they would be displayed,if they are common warewolves and are brutal bloodthristy then by all means they dont fit Sylvan,but if they would be displayed as guardians of natures balance it may work.

'Common' Werewolves wouldn't exactly fit Academy either.
