New Faction: Garrison
Garrison is my new faction. It is based purely on might, even more so than stronghold. If anyone could suggest a good racial, that would be super.
Garrison
Motto: “Might Over Magic.
Facts and Traits:
Also Known As: The Conquerors, The Warriors
Associated Colors: Black and Gold
Worship: None
Core Philosophy: “Swords Are Stronger Than Staffs” The fierce belief that might overpowers magic.
Country/Kingdom: The Empire of The Sword
Capital City: Kalforg
Key Symbols: The Sword and The Shield
Description:
“The Garrison is a split-order of Haven. They believe that magic is non-existent, and religion is nonsense. They focus more on might rather than magic. Their warriors are capable of dealing high damage and deflecting many blows, but they do not have powerful magic to back them up.”
A Summary:
“This faction has good statistics and is a well-oriented might faction, but has no magic support. Their sworn enemies are Academy and Necropolis, both who use magic in a large extent.”
History
463 Y.S.D.
Founding of the Garrison
The Garrison publicly splits from Haven. Founded by the warrior Klanso, grandson of Laszlo, they are quick to establish a hold on their territory, and to begin crusading against magic.
464-523 Y.S.D.
The Great Peace
This period was peaceful, with no fighting going on. During this era Garrison’s economy prospered, their reputation was high after beating back the orcs, and their military was renowned all over Ashan. But then Klanso died of an unknown disease, and his significantly more violent brother, Danko, took over.
523-527 Y.S.D.
Wars with Academy
Danko declares war on Academy, seeking to rid the world of magic. Their troops started a long and bloody war, but met limited success in the dunes of Academy, and after four years of furious fighting, they finally retreated, beaten back by the magically enchanted forces of the mages.
565-694 Y.S.D.
Wars with Necropolis
After recovering from the defeat against Academy, Garrison attacked magic again, but this time against Necropolis. In the first year, they managed to score many victories, and gained significant ground, but then best military commanders of Necropolis arrived, and held their ground. This was followed by 128 years of furious fighting, during which neither side gained anything. Necropolis could not recover any ground, and Garrison couldn’t gain any. Finally, in 694 Y.S.D., Sylvan and Haven intervened, requesting both sides to sign a peace treaty. Tired of fighting, they agreed.
695-Present Y.S.D.
The Recovering
Garrison licks its wounds and rebuilds its military, but looks vengefully at Academy for its early defeat. Garrison masses its troops, readying a large attack against their opponents.

I have an idea for the racial. It's probaly not so good because this is my first time making a racial.
Magic Dampening: It makes enemies magic sometimes fail and gives your troops some magicical defence if it doesn't cancel the spell.
Also, I thought of a bunch of names for the hero class: Dampener (meh), Swordmaster, Battlemaster, Legonaire, Spartan, Warlord, Heretic (they abandoned Haven), Striker, Veteran, Overlord, and Spellslicer

I was thinking something that improves your statistics in combat, but I'm not sure.
As for hero name, I like Champion. I'm working on a hero list now.

Okay! Champion it is! Ain't I a genious! Whoops, did say that out loud...
But about racials, try Training: The hero can sacrife his/her turn to improve a creatures stats by one. Example: Let's say your Champion is an Expert Trainer and you want improve your Crossbowman's defence. So your take your turn to improve your Crossbowman's defence by, lets say, 5 points. So for two-three turns your crossbow man has 6 defence. It can't stack and goes away eventualy, and it only effects the one stat. Balanced? (Numbers weren't final, just an example)

First of all, training is Haven racial. I was thinking a skill that's more permanent, that gives something like +5% attack or something, + buildings to replace magic guild that have something to do with the skill.
I'll make something shortly, but I don't have a good name.
