This topic too may have been invalidated by the new dev journal saying players will design there own units.

I guess this topic is now invalid... the new dev journal says they are making it a sandbox in how you design your units,

I just had a interesting though on fantasical units in this game, maybe if they have problems implementing planes of existence, maybe fantasical units are not conjured maybe they are created. :)

You could draw some inspiration could be taken from some DnD 4e Planes, like the Feywild, and the Elemental Chaos, both places just infused with magic, and are dangerous, since these planes would not have had magic all crystaled up maybe you could infuse these planes energies into crystals to take back to the regular world, or you just get a flat mana rate while you are there or maybe make towers that direct the untapped mana of that plane back to the home plane, or there could be some war ra

I thought channelers were the only wizards in the game, the only one with access to magic, if they added wizard units, they should depend on shards to power the abilities instead of being able to generally just draw effects out of the air like Channelers, and I don't mean harvesting mana from them for there own internal reserves, I mean they should geniunely have a piece of magic shard with them when casting. Then again maybe I'm being to harsh with magic with what little we know of the lore,

I guess these units I mentioned well a lot of them are sure fire to be included like Rangers and Paladins. I would like to see Rangers (maybe they could be a upgrade of the scout unit I saw in some SS) and not just regular RTS Rangers but Rangers like in MMO's the ones that let them stealth,and be a expert at Bows, Empire Battle for Dune had a Mechanic like that for top Fremen unit, in that they were ranged infantry that were generally invisible. I would like to see Paladin's,

I don't remember if it was mana every turn or if once summoned it had a resource cost in gold of its own.

I think you should add spells to create fantasy units, and maybe a spell like disjunction in MoM to make all those spell created units go bye bye to counter act there high power level, I would say spells to add Dragons to your army would be cool, but I have the feeling Dragons are going to be the Channelers of the Beast Faction, anyways I think it would be really cool to throw in spells to add Angels and Demons to your Army.
