HoWS=Heroes of war and strategy
Okay,maybe I'm going crazy making my 4th RTS spinoff,but I really like the idea and I didn't had anything to do so I started it.
RESOURCES
These are the resources used in game for recruiting/upgrading units,researching techs and construct buildings.
1.Food
The most important resource at training units.It is required at the most of the units,techs and upgrades.The only race who don't need food is the undead one.Food can be gather from hunting,berry bushes,farms,domestic animals,
2.Treasury
The second resource as importance,treasury consists of money,precious metals etc.It is needed at training the majority of units,techs and upgrades.Treasury can be received from copper mines,silver mines,gold mines,mines requires a mountain which contains these ores,banks,estates,trade routes etc.
3.Wood
The basic resource for buildings,excepting some buildings,all structures requires wood.It can be gather from trees: oak trees,pine trees,desert palms,jungle palms,swamp trees etc.
4.Stone
The old ore is now divided in two resources,stone is one of them.Several buildings requires stone:walls,forts,base centers,towers etc.To can gather stones is required a Stone Quarry which can be build on any type of mountain.
5.Iron
The second and last resource divided from ore is the iron.The basic resource at military units,techs and upgrades..There exists also a few buildings which require it.Iron can be gather at iron mines,which can only be build on a mountain which contain iron ore.
6.Gems
A rare,but very useful resource.Required for advance units,techs and upgrades.The majority of spell-casters require gems.Misc gems can be gather from diverse mineral mines:aquamarine mine,topaz mine,emerald mine,sapphire mine and diamond mine,these mines can be build only on mountains which contains these minerals.
STATS
Stats show how much damage can receive/inflict an unit,how much damage can block,how far can shoot/cast,how much mana points for casting have etc.
Attack
Shows how much damage can do a unit in one hit.There are 3 types of attacks:
-Melee Attack:Shows how much damage can do this unit in melee combat
-Ranged Attack:Shows how much damage can do this unit shooting
-Magic Attack:Shows how much damage can do this unit using it's magical attack
Defense
Shows how much damage block this unit,minimum damage received is no lower than 1.There are 3 types of defense:
-Melee Defense:Shows how much melee damage can block this unit
-Ranged Defense:Shows how much ranged damage can block this unit
-Magic Resistance:Shows how much magical damage can block this unit
Hit Points
HP for short.Listed as a bar.Show how much damage can receive this unit.
Range
Only shooters have this stat,it shows how far can the unit shoot.
Mana
Listed as a bar.Only casters have this stat,mana is used to cast spells.Mana recharges automatic,but slowly until it reach the max.Some units and spells can destroy/steal mana from enemy casters.
Units Categories
Melee Infantry=in this category enters all individual foot-units that perform only melee attacks
Ranged Infantry=in this category enters all individual foot-units that perform also ranged attacks,but they can use melee to defend against infantry that get close.Usually at these units ranged attack is more powerful than the melee one.They have also a special stat:range
Melee Cavalry=in this category enters all riders,even if their mount is a horse,a giant lizard or an elephant that can perform melee attacks
Ranged Cavalry=in this category enters all riders,even if their mount is a horse,a giant lizard or an elephant that perform also ranged attacks,but they can use melee to defend against infantry that get close.Usually at these units ranged attack is more powerful than the melee one.They have also a special stat:range
Spellcasters=in this category enters all units that can cast spells and perform magical attacks(both melee and ranged),they have also mana bar
Melee Flyers=in this category enters all units that can fly and attack both fliers and ground units.However they must to get down on earth to attack ground units,allowing to attacked units to fight back and damage the flier.In flying stance they can be attacked only by other flyers or ranged units
Ranged Flyers=in this category enters all units that can fly and attack both fliers and ground units using ranged attack.They don't need to get down on ground to attack ground units and can be attacked only by other flyers or ranged units.
War Machines=in this category enters all catapults,ballistas,siege rams and any other machine built for destroying buildings and killing armies.War machines do more damage to buildings,have a high attack,great ranged defense,ranged ones have minimum range and all are quite defenseless in melee combat
Heroes=special units with unique abilities,all races have available a hero category in every age,but you can recruit only one hero of every type.Their stats increase with the age and can gain experience when killing enemies.Higher level brings higher stats for heroes.
Neutral units and buildings
To keep heroes essences there will be neutral units,buildings and treasures.Some neutral buildings may be guarded by neutral units which need to be killed in order to own the building.After the guardians are destroyed the building enters in your possession,but unlike the normal buildings which belong to a single player,these may be stole by enemies.You may find piles of resources or treasures that may be also guarded and after killed,you can pick the resources/treasure and these enter in your resource pool permanently.Only heroes can pick resources or claim buildings,even if you killed them with normal units.

Why have the Trooper in the Barracks when he'd surely be better placed in the Centaur Range, as surely would the Knight (horses and centaurs would have similar requirements right?)? Also, the upgrade of the Pikeman should be the Halberdier, Lancers are cavalry. As for the Templar, a swordsman recruited in a Monastery (just make it recruitable in any Barracks within say 20 spaces of a Monastery)?

How about changing the centaur range into stables or centaur stables? Templars are holy warriors that's why I put them in monastery.Maybe I'll change the pikeman's upgrade and model,the pikeman image looks more like an upgarded version(I will change the pike in a halberd)

Yeah, Templars are holy warriors, monasteries are not the kind of places that are good at teaching swordsmanship, which is why I suggested the Monastery-proximity thing. And it's Cleric, not Cleic.
Also, crossbowmen being an upgrade of archers is just a stupid Age of Empires thing that doesn't work logically (crossbows do more damage, but have a slower rate-or-fire). Oh, and Centaurs and Wyverns in a faction of neo-Christians, those don't seem particularly holy.

H5 did the same wit bows and crossbows,okay I will change it.Wyverns and Griffins were very common herald symbols in middle ages.

I said Wyverns (a dragon, although the name comes through French, from the Latin vipera, which means 'viper', 'adder' or 'asp'. Snakes are generally reviled in the bible) and Centaurs (generally regarded in their native myths as wild and untamed, not really the kind of thing you'd desire in a well-ordered society). The Griffin actually fitted rather well with the medieval church.

Wyverns and Centaurs stays where they are.Without these they will become to racial,I need some diversity.In herald the wyvern symbolized protection and courage and it fits perfect here.Centaurs are the combination between a horse and a man,horses were the most used animals in battle.I think I'm going to put also a pegasus riders,but I'm not sure.

Because unless you want it to feel weird, you're going to want to get most of your creatures from the Bible, which tends to have rather fewer interesting 'good' creatures than other mythoses (and outside that, Medieval Europe as a whole doesn't tend towards a having many interesting 'good' creatures either).

Well if you're going to include heraldic beasts you might as well include lions, antelopes, harts and dragons. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find an animal (or even a plant) that hasn't been part of a heraldic achievement at one point or another.
