ICTC: Barren Dunes
just a starting note, this a joint idea by me, Lord_Pc, and 2xtremeToTake. It is a "Desert" kinda town. There is still much to be done though
Barren Dunes
AKA: The Banished Ones
Associated colors: Gold and Orange
Worship: A cult known as the "Desert Eye" tells of a forgotten dragon named Rashaka, one who, like them, was banished and erased from all records.
Core philosophy: In the Sandy Dunes, we are the sediment of the world, like a dust storm we will rise, mystical and ferocious
Country / kingdom:
Capital city:
Key symbols: the Eye, the ankh
Brief History:
scribes are writing it
Key: Level: Creature -> Creature Upgrage
info
Abilities: writing in normal font is for base creature and upgraded creature. writing in bold font is for upgraded creature only
Level 1: Desert Archer -> Desert Marksman
Basic Ranged Unit
Abilities: Ranged
Level 2: Scarab -> Ancient Scarab
These large bugs can fly.
Abilities: Flying
Level 3: Mummy -> Undead Pharoah
These walkers are undead but they wear much clothing to hide thier faces from thier allies
Abilites: Curse: casts curse on enemies they engage with melee combat.
Undead Revelation: the Mummy takes off its head gear decreasing the morale of all nearby units by 1. This figure is increased to 2 when the mummies are upgraged to Undead Pharoah.
Level 4: Nomad Warrior -> Nomad Archer
Abilities: Sand Walker: Gain a movement bonus over sand terrain.
Ranged: Ranged ability learned
Level 5: Manticore
Abilities: Flyers
Poison Tail: chance to poison enemy
Level 6: Sphinx
Spellcaster: can cast 1 beneficial spell once per battle. can cast the spell 3 times per battle
Level 7 - Sand Demon

I have some comments if you dont min critisim
-Desert archer is not a creative unit ý suggest you change it.Maybe a desert hawk tamer that releases his hawk to attack its enemies would be cool.
-Scarab:Maybe you should switch places with desert archer
-Mumy would be cool if he could also cast once a battle a curse on an enemy stack by choosing like a spell and not by attacking.Also maybe some weaken affect combined with curse would be better.
-Sand Walker is a weak ability and probably uselless in many battles I would suggest it should have another ability .Maybe some charge that does not provoke retaliation if charge from enough distance maybe or some protection from the range attacks because they are so quick.
-Casting level 1 spell is pretty low for Sphinks.Personally ý would like my 6th level more active than passive.
-Desert Deamon could be in the form of constant sand storm and should have mind spell immunity.Other than some reduction of damage to the creature ýt just previously attacked could be fine since its a living sand storm after all.
Thats a quiet a change ý suppose  .I hope ýt was constructive or if you want to get even ý already have a castle named Thundercrack you can also critisise that  .

Don't worry This is still in its opening stages, many revisions will be made.
THe reason he did not elaborate more on the Sphinx and Sand Demon is that those two are mine and I have plans for them.

Hmm, seems interesting, look forward to seeing more.
Slightly similar to Acadamy, but still looks good.

That looks familiar...
I like a lot this kind of town. Actually, if you look in the "ICTC: Tomb" thread (my proposal) you will understand
You can give/steal ideas for my proposal if you want. As long as one Desert town wins I am happy.
With best regards,
JJ

i have seen that proposal but u must understand that desert towns are going to be simliar, things like history will set them apart, not creatures. after all u can have water elementals in a town like this so the creature line up is somewhat restricted

Only 6 because there's so much missing. Where's the history? Where's more information about the race?
I can't imagine much of the background story from the information given.
The creatures, however, are very decent choices and have nice special abilities attached

Here's my rating
Race: 7. Sand theme..but some differances
History: 0. sorry. dont have one
Creatures 8. Good idea for creatures.. could do with a little more info..and ur missing a few upgrades
Balance:9 mostly magic. u have an archer, some might. definantly not bad.
Originality: 10 Some creatures used before..but not like that..most ideas are rather original
Final grade 34/50 that would change with a history of coarse
