There is no short answer to this. You can make any unplayable neutral unit to be playable. They can be added to any of the existing race slots so they are along side an existing race. There is no way of giving them a completely new race slot though, with there own terrain/spell book/gaurdian rods. They can only share those with one of the existing races.

So far no one has found any software that can properly import the model files without losing animations and whatnot. So were limited to mostly retexturing, which isn't adding a unique race but is just making an existing race look a bit different.

There are not enough neutrals of any one type to fill out an entire unit tree, but some have mixed and matched, using a couple orcs along with thugs and so forth to fill out a tree.

Mostly people just add a few neutral units to extend a melee or mage branch.

Since they added the undeads and i heard the will merge reinasance with resurection there is a way, maybe to hard for us.
Making new meshes and using parts from the textures can result in good new models but sinse u cant import them.
The Discples 3 meshes are not hard to make the squire, paladin, apretice and maybe other are using the same heads for ex.

I wish there will be a water race, a race something like dungeon in hoom 3 and swamp race with lizzards.

I believe much of this aspect, the placeholders for separate race screens/spells is within the exe. Modders are not allowed to modify anything within the exe.
