An idea I had for an extra set of missions:

The tyrant invites a scientist/alchemist/mage/beast-tamer/whatever to work for him. The scientist shows up in a heavily armored caravan that makes its way across the map to the tyrant's castle. If he gets there, all the tyrant's units will be upgraded according to the scientist's discipline (new unit type, more armor, faster attack, etc.) But if the rebels manage to intercept the caravan and take the scientist to one of their own villages, they can benefit from those upgrades.

Have several of these caravans in the course of the game, each scientist having a different specialty. If you can get one of each, they will work together to create a super-unit to use against the tyrant (say, a giant siege tank with multiple flamethrowers, a massive warbeast with mounted archers to serve as a living ram, the aforementioned Project Odin...).

Needless to say, if every caravan gets to the tyrant's castle he gets the super unit too.

Could You explain how currency system will work in your game?What items could be brought
by it?

And it would be better to just have a leaderboard to each player for currency instead of typing.

Ya Nightblade your probally right.

The currency will be able to buy everyday stuff such as food which will raise moral by 10 for all units around. But it can also be used to upgrade things like better armor like Steel or Iron. Also weaponry such as Cannons (ooh new unit) from your engineering forge.

Okay new unit
Cannon
Moral does not affect the cannon.
The cannon will be built at the Engineering Forge (help me get a better name)
Splash Damage.
Hopefully can get a daze effect for units in a 100 range around because it smashes the ground hard.
It will have upgrades(help meh out here which will increase its range of fire and upgrades for the cannon balls (increase damage))

Edit: Got a new sig that represents WoD! (World of Darkness)

Hmm Well i dont actually need to reduce the food. because the more units you have the less food you have and that can lower the moral.

i almost finished the units, buildings and upgrades.
i recomed to use a wider camera angle to see bigger units armies, so it can be more like epic wars

A new name for the engineering forge would be workshop,siege factory,foundry.These generic names work better.

You could make cannon common,and ballista for empire only (Rebel cannon faster? hmmmm)
