btw I'm still going for the challenge now, and the next four rounds will be tough for me and anyone willing to try their luck...but that's not for noobs, guys!!!
remember it? Was back on page 35 or so:
Quote:
I'd like to open a new, true challenge for all contestors here: the Ultimative Finding Harmony Challenge
This is a private challenge by me, it has nothing to do with the overall contest rounds and I won't judge, but I will give another "Overall"-Twist to myself and anyone brave enough to accept this challenge...
...the twist is: Make the next four factions you create in this competition a "set" of unique factions, that means:
-no double-use of creatures, hero classes, town names, town themes, buildings, racial skills, etc.
-among those four factions you'd need to have 1 good 1 bad and 1 neutral (you can choose which alignment you want doubled )
-if you create campaigns, make them fit into one bigger story, so each new campaign should be either direct prequel or direct sequel of the other/s
...so, anyone having the will, courage and madness to bow to these aditonal free-willed twists and beat me?

As it once was, so it remains. So long as there are still those who would risk the perils of confronting the forces of darkness, we shall remain as well, to guard and aid them in the battle for this world. Though our flesh has long turned to dust and mingles with the mold of our tombs, our spirits and our bones shall maintain their vigil. This is our duty, our pledge, our promise. May the heavens smile upon the Honorable Dead.

HISTORY:
The Fall of Magnamius Vul Koth:
In ancient days there lived the paladin-crusader Magnamius Vul Koth in the days before vast nations divided the known world, and each city fended for itself. He was the son of an elf princess and human commander, who met together in secret. Much to her parents horror, she gave birth to a half-elven child, which according to legend, was the first union between men and elves to produce a half-elf offspring. She named him Magnamius Vul Koth, which in the ancient human tongue means "Kinded-hearted blade". Being rejected by the elven kingdom's line, he was raised in the military under his father's cautious guidance, and indeed, he was a prodigy with the blade as well as with his very soul; harnessing powerful divine magic to make him a tremendous force of to be reckoned with.
For all his talent as a warrior, he was a failure at fellowship. Feeling unwelcome among everybody, save in the silent presence of the Gods of the Light, he wandered into the hostile wilds. In his heart, he wished for death, yet his conscious could not bring him to end his own life, and so he tested himself against unmatchable odds, knowing that he would be slain by some foul beast.
To his disappointment, he did not succeed in dying. He stormed into the heartlands of the east, into a territory feared and plagued by the undead. Yet no tormented soul could best his might and magic. History does not know for how long he survived in the wild, throwing himself against countless perils, yet after many years hunters and trappers had reported that the curse on the region was greatly weakening, and many had even begun moving into the once plagued lands to catch fresh wild game. It was not long before the supernatural gloom of the territory was lifted, the restless souls banished. Pristine sunlight pierced the ever-gray land, and newcoming pilgrims saw a single face emerging from the wilds to whom they could credit for the miracle: Magnamius Vul Koth.
For the first time in his life, he received love and admiration from elves, men and dwarves. He was no longer an abomination to nature, but a hero for all people. He returned to kingdom Dallara of Irollan, to the home of his mother. He was a man in his mid thirties at the time, and he already looked older than his elven mother, yet she greeted her son as though he were a child. Her once disgusted parents greeted their grandchild with open arms and bid him to stay in their halls as an honored guest.
It was the first night in many years that he could close his eyes without fear of potential foes lurking in every shadow. He unsuited his bloodied and dented armor, and laid down his trusted blade: Dayfravost. That night, he accidentally choked to death on a cherry.
Rise of the Guardians:
The dead were feared throughout the lands, demonized by stories of them returning to haunt the realms of the living, stories which were entirely true. And so one cannot blame the priests of Dallara a century later for being mortified when the ghost of Magnamius Kul Voth appeared during their nightly meditations. The abbot attempted to banish the phantom with a powerful abjuration, and yet Kul Voth appeared undiminished by the spell's furious light, indeed, it seemed to them that he was even basking in it's radiance. Confounded, the abbot dismissed the spell to see Kul Voth still standing before them, his famous blade resting in his sheath. As fear turned to awe, the monks scribed Kul Voth's famous introduction:
"My brothers, I have wandered the netherworld for a century and encountered all manner of souls, and among all of them, I have not encountered one who can do what I can do. It would seem that I have been gifted by the Gods of Light with a sacred duty. Though all other noble souls move beyond time and place, I can return to you by my own will, and I can show others the way as well. I have amassed an order of dead who are charged under my creed to fight against the forces of darkness. They will stand vigil, watching while all others sleep. Know their purpose, and know that they mean no harm to you.
Valor beyond death, honor beyond breathe."
And so marked the introduction to a new nation under the guidance of the half-elf Magnamius. A nation buried in the catacombs and tombs of ancient cities. A nation of silence. They are the Guardians; the Honorable Dead.
The Battles of Bone:
The Guardians were ever vigilant in their duty to defend the mortals, but as walking dead, they were often feared - or outright attacked - by the very people they swore an oath to protect. They gained a reputation to greatly dispel this fear during the Battles of Bone, where their might was fully flexed. The heretical necromancers had made their exodus from the Silver Cities, and were amassing armies of undead to challenge the wizards. With many of the Guardians and their forces engaged in the dangerous eastern frontiers of the Griffin Empire and in the Free Cities, the Guardian Herald Makarat was left with the responsibility to aid the wizards, who were weakened and now battling against many of their own kind who had turned to necromancy.
The advent of the necromancers was a more serious offense to the Guardians then it was even to the wizards, for they enslaved souls to do their bidding rather than let them rest in peace. They were despised more than demons, and with enormous indignation, Makarat moved in from the north and met the undead legions of the Necromancers with his own dead legion. Thus marked the beginning of the Battles of Bone, where tireless, lifeless troops marched against one another. The newly-formed Order of the Crow, a holy clerical order among the living who pledged their loyalty to the Guardians, reinforced the outnumbered Makarat, and the clerics brought with them vast flocks of crows to pluck at and gorge on the necromancer armies. After thousands of warriors were destroyed, the necromancers buckled under the might of wizards and guardians, and fled to their defensible safe haven of inner Heresh. News of the Guardian's deeds rippled throughout the lands, being spoken in every musky tavern and rosy hall. Children began singing tales of the watchful dead who would save them from wild beasts and sorcerers. Though they remain to this day avoided and feared by mortals, with that fear comes grateful respect.

Scarecrow: Scarecrows are the still living clerics for the Guardians. As part of their initiation, they have undergone a powerful and irreversible ritual, binding their blood with the blood of a crow, who are the symbol of the Guardian's vigil over the world. The blood union gives them hollowed bones and black wings that can sprout from their backs. Contrary to their name, the scarecrow attracts flocks of crows and commands them on the battlefield.

Gorge: The Ravenhair may select a corpse on the battlefield for their flock of crows to gorge on. The corpse is destroyed, and the attack damage of Flock of Crows is increased for the next two attacks (damage increase % is based on the size of the devoured corpse).
Barghest -> Winter Wolf / Fenrir Hound
Barghest: These intimidating canines grow to the size of lions, with an iron thick hide and razor sharp maw. Barghests are often hunted down out of misplaced fear, but they receive a friendship from the Guardians that is denied to them by flesh and blood men. They fight with admirable loyalty, even dying for their already dead masters.

Fenrir Hound: Unlike all other breeds of canines, the legendary Fenrir Hounds regard no mortal or even god as their master. These astute beasts fight beside the Guardians by their own admission, and having the prowess of a beast combined with a mind much like a human makes them an especially difficult opponent.
Large: This creature occupies a 2x2 area on the battlefied
Scent: This creature gives the hero +2 to their scouting radius. This does not stack with multiple stacks of Barghests and their respective upgrades.
Absolute Autonomy: This creature is immune to Frenzy and Puppetmaster.

First Blood: This creature's first attack in combat deals 150% damage.

Spells: Decay, Vulnerability, Mass Decay

Creature Line-Up Strategy:
The Catacombs creature line-up contains a versatile combination and offensive and defensive powers. It's unique strength is in having two casters in the army at tier 1 and 7, giving it strong magical support. However, it only has one ranged unit in the army at tier 4, and this same creature takes up a slot as a flyer. Rushed offenses will be less common for this faction, with the player most often sticking to a solid defense or a more steady offense.
HERO:
Hero: Guardian
The Guardian is the soul of one who fought against evil during life, and has been elected the special privilege to battle evil beyond death. Even without their bodily needs, being a Guardian requires tremendous patience.
Attack: 25%
Defense: 25%
Spellpower: 25%
Knowledge: 25%
Basic Vigil: The hero may heighten one skill during their turn, and may activate their 1st Rite of Passage.
Advanced Vigil: The hero may heighten two skills during their turn, and may activate their 2nd Rite of Passage.
Expert Vigil: The hero may heighten three skills during their turn, and may activate their 3rd Rite of Passage.
Ultimate Vigil: The hero may heighten four skills during their turn, and may activate their 4th Rite of Passage.
Heightening: The guardians, through countless hours of meditation and concentration, have gained a phenomenal connection with their inner-self, and may heighten their innermost abilities in a way that no other being can. With the Vigil racial skill, the hero may heighten a number of skills at the start of their turn. When a skill is heightened, it improves by one level of mastery (so if the hero heightens Basic Luck, it would become Advanced Luck). A hero may heighten any skill except Vigil and Logistics as many times as they are able to, and it is capped off at the ‘Ultimate’ level of mastery. At the start of the hero’s next turn, they may choose different skills to heighten, or they can do nothing and they will keep their already heightened skills. The hero may select a set of skills in their hero window to use as their default heightened skills for when they enter combat, and skills are only be heightened during combat. The Ultimate skill bonuses are as follows:
Ultimate Skill Abilities:
Ultimate Attack: Increases damage dealt by your creatures in melee combat by 20%

Ultimate Defense: Decreases damage dealt to your creatures in melee combat by 40%
Ultimate Destructive Magic: Makes Destructive Magic spell even more effective.

The First Aid tent receives increased healing power. Ammo Cart gains an ability to increase attack of ranged units in hero’s army by +4.
Hollowed Altar:
The Guardian hero may activate their Rites of Passage at the Hollowed Altar.

Perks:
Endeavor: Special Ability: The Guardian may spend 0.5 ATB to mark a friendly creature with the Endeavor ability. The marked creature gains the Unlimited Retaliation ability. Only one friendly creature may have this mark at any given time.
Glory of the Dead: Dead and Undead creatures in hero’s army may now have positive morale (morale can still never go below 0).
Purifying Fire: Special Ability: The Guardian may spend 1.0 ATB to cast ‘Mass Regeneration’ on their army. The regeneration functions just like the spell, except it can affect dead and undead creatures. The spellpower is equal to 1/3rd the hero’s level (rounded up), and lasts for 4 turns.
Ultimate: Eternal Vigilance: The 'Endeavor' perk now marks the hero's entire army. Marked ranged creatures gain the Ranged Retaliation ability as well as Unlimited Retaliation.

Well my faction is currently being written in notepad++ and it's almost 40,000 characters. I hope I'm not blowing it up far too much, I can get long-winded.
And I have yet to write the level 2 unit and all Heroes 
Blizzardboy: Nice work, and congrats on breaking the ice  Love the wolf, will o'wisp and reaper pictures.
