New Race

[Rakefur]

Hey I just had an idea for a new race: Wolverine. For the stats, how about this?
Offense: Very good
Defense: Good
Build: Average
Costs: Good   
Loyalty: Average
Training: Bad
Income: Good
Scouting: Bad
Mercenaries: Good
Food: Bad
Leadership:    Average
Foraging: Bad
Of course, that's just my opinion. What do you think?
Just changed it a bit.

Do wolverines ever appear in the books?

All races at RWL are designed to fill a niche - offensive army production (rat), cash production (marten, magpie), food production (wolf, ferret), networth protection (stoat, wolf), etc. What niche did you have in mind for this race?

[Rakefur]

Wolverines appeared in Rakkety Tam. I had in mind a very offensive race. One that would compete with rat. I tried to copy the nature of wolverines in the book. (i.e. Good offense, bad food production)

Bringing this back, now that you people know me.

Wolverine
-----------------------
Offense: +30%
Defense: +0%
Build: +0%
Costs: -10%
Loyalty: +5%
Training: +0%
Income: +0%
Scouting: -10%
Mercenaries: -15%
Food: +25%
Leadership: +20% 
Foraging: -20%
Special Race ability: Wolverine: Cannibalism: Either when attacking, you lose less health, or when attacked by a wolverine, you lose health.
---------------------------
Probably a leader/attacker race, very strong attacking, but uses a lot of food and has a hard time foraging.

interesting rakefur

interesting rakefur

But looks a bit overpowered in the leader and attack departments.

There are also three leader races already, so you'd be better off designing a new race with a new strategy (like magpie/ferret)

[Pippin]

max is +25%

[Muse]

What about, for food production, adders?

[Rakefur]

hmm, we could worry about the numbers later.

[Pippin]

isnt this what the topics about, number crunching and strategy revising to make it a viable race

[Durza]

pippin does have a point, if the race is developed well enough then admin might create it

[Rakefur]

Yeah i would like some ideas, maybe some people suggesting things, I can't do it by myself.

[Shadow]

New races are only likely to be added if they add a completely new strategy to the game. Otherwise it's just more of the same under a different name. The actual stats are almost irrelevant - you have to think of a new niche for your new race to occupy, and fit the stats around that.

[Muse]

Could we make a sort of mercenary, as in a species that made tropps quickly and could then sell them directly to ogthers at a high price?

[Shadow]

Why would others buy if the price was high?
