An idea that was concieved half-awake
First, a disclaimer:
*Xandria likes Canada. Low population density, low crime, beatiful nature, a democracy that seems to work...
*Despite being into metal and classical music, Xandria likes a few songs by Brian Addams and Celine.
*Xandria does not intend any offense by this post.
I had like 38 or 39 degrees fewer (celsius, mind you), was shaking so that I almost spilled my Coldrex, when this sprang to my mind.
A faction that sums up the stereotypes we hold against Canadians.
If you dislike infantile humor, read no further.
The Faction
There are several common traits of this faction:
*Resistance to cold
*Weakness to fire
*Good movement in forests, hills, swamp and snow. Bad movement on sand.
Let's take a look at the units:
*Hockey player. Fast on ice. Impact damage with his hockey stick, can fire the puck for a ranged impact shot.
*Lumberjack: of course blade damage. Could throw sawblades for rangd damage. When he ends movement in a forest tile and has move poins left, you can right-click on him to remove the forest and recieve 1 or 2 gold.
Could have a lvl2 only variant with Berserk - Drunk Lumberjack.
*Moose rider: the cavalry. Not too fast, quite good HP.
*Camper kid - Camper - Veteran Camper - Park Warden: have a melee fire attack (Forest Fire?) Can use camping songs for ranged damage.
*Songwriter
- Bad Songwriter - Horrible Songwriter
- Poet - French poet
Of course, they cause horrible damage at range, and bash people with guitars or ... keyboards?
Heroes would be of course Brian and Celine. At level 2, they could attack using playback songs, on level 3 they would gain the attack "Live gig".
Again, please,. do not lynch Xandria. When Xandria tries to be funny, it usually is a bad thing.

The fight against human stupidity is endless, but we must never give it up.

you forgot the healer of the faction: Greenhouse farmer. not only does he have "special herbs" that can heal your units (and incapacitate enemies), but at higher levels he is invisible at night (how else could they deal?) and moves quite well in dense terrain (again, how else could they deal?)
plz don't flame me...

Lumberjacks have an aura which grants any trees nearby an enormous-damage, kamikaze, single hit impact attack called 'TIMBEEERRRRR!!'
