Cortes thread for future factions
Welcome to my new projects.
Yes, projects but all factions, that will be posted in this thread are not really connected to each other. So, no “one new world” for all the stuff down there or something like that. At least I do not plan to do so but should it look different enough that it could work, I do also not plan on making two versions of one faction within this thread, then that is fine as well.
I simply do not want to open a new thread every time, I post a new a new creation.
The only faction, that will definitively never be posted here, is necropolis.
I am completely fine with what was posted here:

NAME: Haven
SHORT: Humans
THEME:
Example
INFO:
Whenever other races talk about humans, they talk mostly about kingdoms and empires. High and mighty, glorious and well known. But there are others humans, who do not live in such realms. Often referred as “Barbarians” and “Scum” by the civilized people, they live in much harsher, more hostile lands. But nonetheless, they have their own society, their own culture, their own religion. And they can stand up for themselves, if challenged.
HEROES:
THANE:
“I am the sword and shield of the clan. I shall prevent my people from suffering any harm and shall guide them in dark times. I am no leader but a servant to the clan. Wherever I go, I will always honor the name of my clan and never shame them with my actions and if I should, only my dead on battle can purify me.”
Oak of the Thane.
Military leaders, who are often sons or daughters from the heads of the clans. But sometimes strangers and adventurers will be offered this position as well, as a reward. They are also known for traveling around the world to gain experience and knowledge.
Wulfstan
“Nothing is better than a beer after a long ride with my boys on my side.”
Wulfstans life and his pride are his wolfs. He is well known through the clans for his extraordinary experience on raising and training them. His connection to them goes so far, that some are saying, he may be more then just a human.
Special:
All Dire Wolf and Silverback gain more offense and defense for every X hero level.
PRIEST:
Priests can be found within every town or village of the clans. They usually do not go into battle but if they do, they have the right to do so as a commander. After all, it can not be wrong to trust a man or a woman who has a connection to the gods, right?
Smirna
“If I have to go into battle, I do it to protect people, to save lives.”
Smirna comes from a family, who has studied the art of healing for generations. She did even once study it among the wizards at their home. The result can be well seen.
Special:
Regeneration becomes X% more effective for every X hero level and can now resurrect as well.
RACIAL:
“For Honor and Glory”
Works similar to the racial skill from H7 but is rather balanced between skills for morale, defense and offense. Hero can also have a chance for luck, if he performs a normal attack.

Spearman / Town Guard – walker, melee
LORE:
In a world, where the nature itself seems hostile sometimes, everyone need to be ready to fight if the the times has come.

LORE:
Wolfs have been a common sight among the clans, as long as they can remember. Good friends and loyal allies, the men of the clans know how much reliable this creatures are.

If the head of a clan wants an advice, he can ask a Priest and a Greybeard. The first listens to what the gods say, the second listens, to what the history and knowledge of the clan say.

NAME: Bastion
SHORT: The swamp faction
THEME:
Example
INFO:
Swamps can be found overall at on the world. Being the dangerous, dark places they are, not many dare to travel deep into them. And as far as it goes for the Lizardmen and Gorgons, living at the ruins of temples and cities far, far away from the borders of their home, it is quite good. Not many do know more then rumors and legends about them and only at rare times you see more then one or two travelers outside their home. They have various houses and tribes of their own, each lead by a couple of an Lizardmen Alpha and a Gorgon Matriarch. They do, however, lack king and queen, leading to civil wars from time to time.
They see themselves as one of the oldest races of this world and remember times, long lost for many else. They consider themselves as one race, since they need each other for the survive of the own race, living at peace with their home and are usually quit the peaceful neighbors. And if it is only because they are the probably most turtling neighbors you will ever know. But deep within their hearts lies the wish to return to the old days, increasing the size of the swamps to the old, giant areas.
RACIAL:
HOMELAND.
More then anyone else rely the troops of Bastion on the right ground to fight. Heroes can create ponds on the battlefield to give Bastion units various buffs and supporting effects as well as giving passive effects on units and heroes on swamp areas. Ponds can be created to fit one tile or an area of 2x2 tiles but on a higher cost. If fighting on a swamp map, units will have a natural buff too.

LINE-UP:
Swampfly / Bloodfly – flier, melee
LORE:
Big flies, which can be found everywhere in the swamps. They are rather annoying then strong but it is a good advice for an adventurer or traveler to avoid a fight with a swarm of them all alone.

LORE:

LORE:
Long living, intelligence, humanoid lizards, they are one of the oldest races. Old stories telling how they once ruled half of the world. Even though, no one knows the correctness of this stories for sure anymore, they are very appealing to them.
