Hej allesammans,
I think it would be useful to have a description of the various races
in help. This would partly be useful/interesting for the players, but
more importantly IMO it would force us to define what we think are the
salient points of each race, which we then could use as a sort of
guiding light for further unit modifications and additions.
Furthermore, I think that we should initially restrict the discussion
on these descriptions to the ml, and not bring it to the forum
pre-maturely.
As a starting point I have collected a few words that I associate with
the various races, but I hesitate to put them into fluent texts. First
of all, I am not a native speaker, and second I want your feedback on
the desirability of this.
elf: woodsmen, archers, herbalists, agile, magic
wose: slow, flammable, strong
human:great diversity, not sure if can be summed up easily
dwarf:sturdy, technology, slow, mountain
orc: beefy, stiff, poisoned weapons
goblin: small, stiff
undead: unholy, stupid, night
skeletons - falls apart
others - burns up
ogre:big, slow, strong, clumsy, sharp tools
merman:swimmer, day
naga:swimmer, slithering, poison(?)
monster:not really any common traits
troll: big, strong, slow, clumsy, blunt/crude weapons, regenerates
drake: fliers, softbellied, flamers
lizard: small, slithering, sneaky, fast
Please note that this is just a quick collection of words to get the
ball rolling *smile* (and it was a lot harder than I thought to come up
with just these few words...)
So please, any input on this is most welcome.
/Sanna
