I considered that too, to have them as the anti-empire faction with lots of "kill the evil guys" traits. But... if a player then fights angels, one of two scenarios will play out. 1) the player is kingdom, the angels get rolled because they're weaksauce 2) the player is empire, the player gets rolled because they're op.

I demand dark elves! I want to play as Dumners.

Haha, I am just messing with you. Sounds like some awesome factions.

Maybe make them quality over quanity based race? Strategicaly - like Kuriorates from FFh2, tacticaly - like vampires from FFh2(but instead of killing population for power, they maybe just must "medidate or "training" inside cities, where they will get more expirience). And of course some holy traits, and some wing-usage. I see this not bad overall, also that fullfill concept of "rare, powerfull, last - empire of outcasts. Maybe there can be some others concept's, but it is big question of your ability to make this.

Also, will be there - some race that have insane initiative and attack, but armor and hp - lacking?

And your's is more conducive to a fun gameplay experience.

A couple of ideas:-

• Don't allow them to have more than one unit in a troop at a time. They are also very expensive and very powerful. Each angel unit is like having another low level hero. Maybe a series of very powerful traits that only angels can use?
• VERY powerful angel units and spells that cost a life shard to cast / summon.
• Maybe make them into a crusader state kind of deal? Commands come from on high to destroy a faction or kill a powerful creature?
• Or just make them into a city state? Only one city for angels and any cities you conquer get auto-razed.

There's a lot that can be done with them. Overall, though, I'd say just doing them as summons would be best.

EDIT: OOOH, I just thought. Why not a paladin-esque faction for Kingdoms and a demon-summoning faction for the Empire?

Short of me dying IRL, this is going to happen.

I've posted snippets of info throughout the thread. Some more:

Drota - hunters. Will be able to build on any "recruitment world resource" except human. Free diplomatic resources for this purpose. Bad at diplomacy with other factions. Excels in killing monsters.

Death Legion - Various random effects, applied when they get attacked on themselves, or on others when they do the attackin'. High degree of randomness in every fight.

Golem - antimagic faction. Extremely high magic resistance, deals extra damage towards imbued champions, enchanted units and anyone wearing magic items.

Frost giants - specializes in killing normal units. Think "overpower" trait on an entire faction.

The greenskin faction has changed as a result of AI being too good with it, and limitations to the engine. For each orc unit you train (except pioneers) you will gain 2 goblin resources per orc in the unit. This is a one-off bonus. Greenskin may also build in each city a goblin creator of some kind. That goblin creator creates a small amount of goblins each turn (~0.1 per citylevel). If another faction captures a goblin creator, they can recruit goblins.

Goblins can no longer be designed in the unit design window. Instead, they come pre-packaged as unit types you can't design, like monsters. Goblin units cost goblin resources, and a small amount of production. New goblin units are unlocked as you progress down the tech trees, but they are limited in what they can wear (max chain mail, mostly weak weapons). Some special types will also be available, such as warg riders (extra cheap wargs, don't worry). They will also have different traits (that cannot be changed)

Since they're still adjusting balance in the BETA, I see no point in modding such stuff (yet). But it is possible, yes.

This is the problem with modding. You start doing a few snotlings and three days later you're still crafting bloody goblins.

The Goblin Lunatics: http://i.imgur.com/RZGVu.jpg

Goblin lunatics have two traits plus the flaw of being born Goblin:

Goblin - -40% to normal damage, armor and hitpoints. The unit will gain only 1/3rd of normal experience from battles, and killing a Goblin unit gives only 1 experience. At the start of every battle, there is a 1-in-3 chance that the unit will start a brawl with itself or anyone nearby. When this occurs, this unit will lose 33% of its maximum hitpoints. This Infighting can kill the unit.

Bloody Lunatics - Lunatics may perform the Lunatic Attack. The Lunatic Attack can only be used once the Lunatics have less than 50% health left. This attack always hits and each living Lunatic will deal 5 undefendable damage. The target is stunned, but the Lunatics die.

Tooth and Nail - Lunatics who suffer from Infighting at the start of combat will wipe themselves out completely. Discipline cannot reduce this damage. Absolutely there will be no deals made there that day.

With a few new tags in this game, I think it could easily be converted to a full-on pre-designed units only game, like AoW. Of course, the AI would be terrible at it. Still, I find it very simple to come up with new unittypes with special traits. The fact that they can't be altered saves a lot of thinking time, since the variables are static.

Oh god!

I need to learn Havoc. Today.

I would appreciate a quick tutorial on loading a basic unit designs from FE or WoM and then I can just go on Youtube, I assume, and watch some example videos to learn the rest. That is just too cool to let you have all the fun. 

As would I. Is there a way to lock that now? 

Also, is it possible to restrict paths for champions. For instance, if a champion has "Path of Defender" I don't want him to have the possibility of picking up "Path of Assassin" later on.
