• Drakes

(length {nose to tail}):6-15 ft.
(w):200-800 lb
(b):muscular lizards


Scaled down dragons. They lack wings and the love of precious metals. They can still breathe fire or ice or lightning. Used as mounts by the bipeds of the Dragonoid race, but can also be separate units.

(b):short/stocky


Short, bitter, hairy, smelly, and loud, Dwarves are excellent foot soldiers; great for mowing down fields of orcs and/or goblins. They often hire out platoons of themselves as mercenaries. Oh, and they are almost always drunk or drinking.

Relying more on their muscles than their minds, these humanoids are great for impromptu catapults and battering rams.

As intuitive and inventive as gnomes, even better with tools, but neither good soldiers nor mages.

Structures

Bug Structures
[extra option bug exclusive: start as ant or termite- only effects first workers/soldiers and startermound]

Start mound
• mound from which basic workers and solders are produced
1. Termite mound- produces worker termites and soldier termites
2. Anthill- produces worker and ant solders
• Resources will be brought to the nearest mound or hill unless another building has been given priority.

Turret towers
• Termite structure
• Towers with a far line of sight

Bunker Hill
• Will hold a certain number of small units
• One outer entrance/exit
• Can be connected by tunnels to other structures

Scorpions’ Burrow – produces scorpion units
Spiders’ Crevice –produces spider units
Hopper Hatchery –produces grasshopper, locust, and cricket units
Beetle Lair –produces beetle units
Multipede Launch –produces centipede and millipede units
Worm Duct –produces worm units
Walls –constructed from any chosen building material(s)
tunnels -built underground; connects buildings

Specialized Hatcheries
• allows for bursts of mass outputs of a specified bug type
• Requires a certain number of workers to operate to its fullest capacity
• Hatcheries should be assigned a top priority for food and water

Human Structures
[almost all structures can be attached to the Base Camp]

Base camp
• First building
• Produces unspecialized soldiers

Mill
• Food storage
• Optional attachment to base camp
1. wind mill
2. watermill
• can only be built by a stream or river

Armories
• Fits soldiers with armor and weapons
• Individual armories can be set to produce specific armor types and specific amounts

Artillery Yard
• Produces artillery and siege engines

Lookout Posts
• Structure with a long sight range
• Must have a unit occupying it to be effective
• Can stand alone or be built leaning on something

Barns
• Dual food storage and stable

Stables
• Where mounts are stored and distributed

Taming Ring
• Where captured creatures are taught to be mounts
• Attachable to stables (and visa-versa)

Water Tower
• Water storage
• Attachable to barns

Walls- constructed from any specified resource

Techpost
· Trains basic soldiers into technicians
· Researches materials and items brought in by scouts or soldiers or workers and describes ways they can be used

Awesome. I assume RTS is going to be isometric?

I'd like to do something with circles. They'll overlap each other which will make putting add-ons to buildings easier.

In the mean time...

Dragonoid Structures

Dragon’s Altar – where precious stones and metals are offered to the dragons
Dragon’s Den – produces and houses up to three dragons
Lizard’s Hold – produces Lizardmen
Basilisk Chamber – produces Bi-ped drakes
Drakes’ Lair – produces drakes

Armories
· Produces and stores weapons, shields, and armor
· Can be specified to produce stacks of certain weapon and shield types
[All units (except dragons) will go to the nearest armory to gear up, unless factories and/or units are specified to do otherwise]

The following is a list of upgrades attachable to Dragon’s Dens, Drakes’ Lairs, Basilisk Chambers, and Lizard Holds:
Fire Mountain- Allows player to produce units with the power of Fire
Storm Mountain- Allows player to produce units with the power of Lighting
Ice Mountain- Allows player to produce units with the power of Ice
Ocean Water Moat- Allows player to produce units with the power of Water
Dark Cloud- Allows player to produce units with the powers of Darkness and/or Poison
Ancients’ Light- Allows player to produce units with the power of Light

[Any one of the previously mentioned structures may have no more than two of the above listed attachments, and the attachments may not be of opposing elements. The elements that oppose each other are as follows: Light vs. Dark, Fire vs. Ice, and Lightning vs. Water.]
[Any unit produced may have only one elemental power (Dark and Poison, though provided by the same attachment, are separate elemental powers)]
[A word on elemental powers: elemental powers allot special powers to their units. A Lizardman with the Poison element will poison enemies that he strikes and will be immune to other forms of poison; a Bi-ped with the Ice element makes it resistant to cold and his strikes may freeze or slow an opponent. It is not always profitable to have an elemental power, however, for with an elemental power comes an elemental weakness. Example- Water Elemental take extra damage from Lightning Elementals, Darkness Elementals will take damage from Light Elementals, and so on. The only element without a weakness is Poison, but the element of Poison can be dispelled by a unit with the Light element, reverting it to its non-elemental state.]

Goblin Structures

Goblin Hive - Produces Goblin units
Orc Spawning Pool - Produces Orc units
Troll’s Mouth –A cave that produces Troll units
Water Tower – Even Goblins need to stay hydrated
Assault Factory – Produces siege weapons
Walls – built from any specified resource(s)

Corrupt Chamber
• Produces Shamans
• Send in one Orc unit (no weapons, armor, ect.) and one Goblin unit (ditto) to produce one shaman.

Tower
• Holds a number of units and stores food
• Has a long sight range(requires at least one unit to operate)
• Attachable to any building

Armory
• Produces armor and weapons
• Stores stolen weapons and weapons off of bodies from the battlefield
• Attachable to Goblin Hives, Orc Spawning Pools, and Troll’s Caves
• Units will automatically go to the nearest armory and equip the best armor and weapons available unless they are specified otherwise

Frenzy Circle
• A ring where units may be sent to get hyped for battle. In short they become super aggressive and bloodthirsty.
[WARNING!] – Never bring frenzied units back to your base; the frenzied units will attack your other units and buildings. Also, frenzied units will not carry bodies back to buildings, but they will sweep the bodies back through the ranks to behind the army so that other units can pick them up.

[Players may choose to start a multiplayer round with either a Goblin Hive or an Orc Spawning Pool]
[Goblin, Orc, and Troll units are multipurpose; they can all do construction, fight, and gather resources.]
[All units are carnivorous; meaning that everything they come in contact with is potentially food. When in battle units will carry fallen enemies and even other fallen units back to the nearest structure, and then return to the fight.]
