| Author | Faction 'Swamp nation' |
|---|
This faction also exsists on russian server. At russian server, I'm the topicstarter, too. I decided to put the English version of the race here to make up my English knowledge and, maybe, to convince the administration in putting the Swamp Nation race into the game. I must say, that the faction is well-balanced, but, I think, needs more make-ups and improvements.
Let's begin!
Faction: swamp nation
Hero: swamper
Home location: The bog of the dead, location should be in the south-west of the map.
Basic statement: +1 defence
Magic schools: Summon and Dark
History of the faction: With the Necromancy, it always exsisted another culture of raising dead. This culture is connected with the Swamp Powers. It was a secret school in the Druids, the leader of the school was Djalla, young, but very impressive druid. He firstly learnt, how to summon powerful Swamp. He summoned strange creatures: mighty mushroommen, giant toads and bullfrogs, small frog-like humanoids, swamp goblin analogs, which were faster, tougher and stronger, and, at last, very odd monsters, looking like eyes, cowered with fur and lots of feelers. The Swamp army soon became mobile and powerful structure, not weaker then the Necromancers' leions. Soon Djalla army decided to strike the Empire...
Special faction skill: Capturing. When the battle is won, swamper's army can catch some of enemy's troops and put them into the cells (special building, available from the 3-rd level in the castle). Soon, the captured troops will become able to put them with you into battle. Number of captured in a battle creatures and of available to fight in heroe's army depends on Skill level.
Later it will be the creatures' describing.
Please, comment my faction, even if you don't think it's good. Any mind is useful for me, maybe, I'll correct something. | | Capturing too overpower I think. | Capturing too overpower I think.
