races

[Hadrianus]

im still pretty much a newbie, so im not sure if this has been discussed yet. but i thought maybe we could have different races with different units. im not exactly sure what kind of units yet. but maybe it could be an option in the settings to change your race.
so far i can only suggest the typical races which are:
humans
elves
dwarves
i thought that all units could do something characteristic to their race, like the dwarves could have gunmen or something. and the elves might have better spellcasters. this would support the thread on terrain since new units might mean new advantages.
please dont flame me. i just thought that some of the more experienced players might be able to help me out in desining these new stats. hope to hear your opinions.

to all those who've been reading, here's what i've got so far;

Humans : keep the same units.

Elves: A noble race. Inventors of magic in warfare, elves are truly frightening in combat. Their one disadvantage is that they are frail.

1: Cleric (same stats as human cleric)

2: The elflord: using a long pike, this elf lord looks like a greek hoplite of ancient times.

Power: 25
Armor: 10%
+50% blocking from the front (35% from the sides)
hit points: 42
rec: 1
movement range: 4

3: Fire mage: cloaked and surrounded by an aura of fire, the firemage looks impressive. He can use his fire to hit multiple targets or to hit one far away.

Power: burst is 15 and ray is 12
+30% blocking on all sides.
Hitpoints: 28
Rec: 3
Movement range: 3

Special abilities: the firemage's burst hits up to four targets in a square. the ray hits 3 squares away. upon selecting the firmage to attack, you can choose which attack to use.

Not to burst your bubble, but this has been discussed before, you can look through earlier posts and get some ideas/reactions from there maybe. And not to sound to rude but maybe for different races we could do...
Humans
Golems
Beast
:D (You see what I mean, the game already has some provisions for that... but I do agree that a few races could always be added).
