a funny unit idea comes to my mind i want to share :
since caelum RotR is thematically about death and the Raptors are according to description fierce and fanatic warriors what about adding a suicide unit ?
would be hard to balance but extremely funny .
since dominions is fantasy you don't need to care about ethics . this is a game not rl.
so in the unit description should stand :
"Raptors don't care much about weak ones .
They believe in the false faith that only useful raptors may life . those which have not proven their skill in combat or magic at the age of 20 years are sacrificed .
in times of need the harabs curse them with various foul rituals . now the sole purpose in the life of these cursed ones is to "kamikaze" on the enemies of the raptors. "
these cursed units fly into the enemy and then explode .
there are 2 Versions :
the air one explodes in a lighning nova .
the death one explodes and spreads desease on area ( game technical : mr easily negates , by hit : decay ) .
the killed death Version suicide raptor revives than as soulless for the rest of the battle . if he survives the battle he still disappears ( like with reanimate ) .
suicide units would be really fun and fit very well in a fantasy game like dominions .
although they were totally imbalanced ( too weak ) in age of wonders + aow 2 ( sm )
the goblin suicide bombers there were really funny
