Definitely a lot of improvements going on between your releases.
You have a lot of interesting concepts for the faction along with a nice custom melee map.
The faction has a cool theme going on and obviously has a lot of thought going into it. Overall, feels like a nice high quality race.
I particularly liked the idea of the Phoenix unit starting as an egg, but you can make some trigger magic to make it still have a rally point after reviving.
The extensive descriptions of your faction on the hive is also a great plus, I know those take a while to make.
I do, however, notice that you're a little too eager to release them. It does not seem like you bug test and polish them enough before release.
In just a few minutes I found a lot of little bugs, but with so many it accumulated into a bigger problem.
Some bugs:
There's definitely more bugs. I just suggest you take your time and iron out the little things. And maybe add the 4th hero you want to add as I see in your future plan.
Also, take a look at your tooltip for the Ballistae here on the Hive.

Some bugs:
- Altar's model selection is bugged when its summoning or reviving heroes. You can only select it through box clicking.
- Zealot uses male voice and male names for a female character.
- Minstrel as well.
- Illusions can also be revived through the Blessing of the Phoenix. Including Minstrel's Fooling Flame. So you get free units for nothing.
- Pathfinder dwarf voice is very off-putting. Not sure if that was intentional.
- Big bug with Pathfinders is that newly trained Pathfinders do not get improved Divulging Fire, only those already on the battlefield when researched.- Minstrel's Healing Song (reverse starfall) still has the same starfall effect. This is a long standing bug that reforged introduced and never fixed. You cant change the effect. I'd suggest going for a custom Tranquility.
- Zealots Pheonix Beam stuns, cancelling channeling allies. Maybe base this ability off of Healing Wave instead or something.
- Zealots Strike and Spiral both are hotkeyed to Q.
- Sky Raider also uses Dwarf voicelines.
- Sky Raider Drone Swarm can be used without Aggressors Deck upgrade.
- Firebrand Cannon does not attack trees despite the tooltip stating otherwise.
- Ignite Spirit has no visual effect.
- The two casters get an buff icon for First Life with a picture of samwise.
- Fire Keeper has hero glow.
- Firehawk has no portrait.
- Scorch Magic tooltip bugged. Cuts off at the forth effect.
- Personal gripe but both the Minstrels and Zealots ults are plane boring. In Minstrel's case it Reincarnate but less useful because shes a ranged support hero.
- All Zealots ability start with Phoenix - Personal gripe with the naming.
