Suggestion for new Cave Units.
 

Due to the success of the new Oceania units thread (namely that it's entertaining, and something might actually come of it), I thought I'd make a post for new cavern crawlers, and hope for some contributors.

War beetles. Nuff said.

I don't think war beetles live in caves. Don't you mean cave beatles?

How about hostile cave independents? With caves being so resource-rich, and valuable, any ideas for some new and nasty critters to inflict on various nations trying their hands at spelunking?

Are we really missing a reference to goblins in the game?
That would be something to build on.

Here's a cave beetle graphic for K, just to get the ball rolling:

I did it in less than 15 mins, so it's not perfect, but hopefully useable.

Cavewars Beetle (independent only)
Stats: Hp. 30, Str. 30, Att 12, Def 10, Morale 20, Prot 20, Mv 12/2,
Res. Fire 50%, Cold 25%, Pois 100%. Size 4 Trample, weapon: Chitin Horn-armour piercing, Str.
Poison Spit. ammo 2, range 3, Damage 12, no str. area 1, weak poison. Darkvision (100) Mountainwalk, Animal.

Would make a good mount for an independent leader. It might need a lot of balancing, if anyone were to add it to a nation.
