Wood Elves - Wood Elf Army / Unit Roaster / Tech tree

  • ISL
The third and (currently) the last Elven faction that will be playable in the first version
I don't know, too many elf factions...

Also, forest golem? Golems are constructs, not live beings.
 
@Lord_Marrowgrath Those are summoned by the Elder Druid hero ;)

@deepstrasz Living Constructs, mind you! :D
Race: Wood Elves | HIVE go to the "Army and Units" tab and scroll down until you see "Eternal Guardian"
That paste is very old and unfinished, so a lot of things need to be changed
Basically, these Treants and Forest Golems have the resistances of Construct units (mechanicals) but at the same time, they can be healed and can regenerate as if they were Living units

Also... There are just 3 elven factions right now, whilst other races, such as Humans, Orcs and Dwarves, have about 4-5 factions each
I just haven't posted them yet
 
@ZethHolyblade Sorry, can't get the reference :D
The only thing that comes to my mind is this warhammer vid

You can see that all of the names in here are pretty simple and straightforward. That is because it's probably the first race I ever made for my project :D
 
@xISLx Oh well:
Skip to 9:25 :D

Ahh, straightforward they may be, but also makes it quick to get an idea about their role.

If you really wanted to change names a bit... Hmm I'd say adding Mauler to the Centaurs.

Also, consider adding a Golden dragon as the mythic summonable hero unit :D a la HoMM3

Also: that's one based, hardcore Gimli
 
@ZethHolyblade It's kinda sad that I haven't finished the campaign of that game
I'm deciding between Golden and Emerald dragons right here :D I mean I could add the golden one to this faction, but what dragon would I use for the High Elves then? :D

The thing is, I don't wanna change any of these names. Centaur is a unique name across the project, meaning there are no other Centaur units yet
But then you have something like Scout - a name which reoccurs in three different factions already

I'm choosing between making these names all the same and keeping things simple (Scout, Scout, Scout) for the sake of player comprehension, or making recurrent names more complex and specific (Scout, Orc Scout, Goblin Scout) for the sake of faction uniqueness

Other example include Champion (Champion Knight, Orc Champion), Raider/Reaver (Bandit Raider, Orc Raider, Orc Reaver, Desert Reaver), Warlock (Dark Elf, Orc), and so on.

It is quite easy to run out of names when you have 320+ units in your project :D
