City: Atlantis
It's a real name of a country in our world, which evokes associations and takes you out of the world of Heroes. And in general, it's bad to use such names.
Hero: Atlant (I'm waiting for more suitable names)
There was a "watery" version. But Atlant, perhaps, I like more. Although I would have made it "watery" - because "atlant" evokes associations with the ancient Greek titan.
Color: Blue, Light Blue Symbol: Seashell - Ammonite
Light blue is definitely the way to go; we already talked about it: all the colors are taken, but light blue is not. Besides, it fits perfectly.
Philosophy: Peace and harmony through oblivion and isolation.
Not bad, although the amphibian Triton Xa'ar also had a powerful one - something like "the sea will swallow those who try to reveal its secrets." But that depends on the race.
Revered deity: The water elemental dragon Alantia, the goddess of the seas and oblivion.
Timatiis and her story will be even better. Moreover, in the story of Triton, it explains the absence of the Water Dragon in the memory of the Ashan people - Timatiis became the ocean. And there's also a cool moment with the transformation of the island and so on. With you, the story is vague, with general phrases. It sounds beautiful, but it rather conveys the spirit of the race as you see it, rather than the history. And Triton made a good history.
1) Crab – Battle Crab. Deepening – Sea Crack
Characteristics: attack: 2 defense: 2 damage: 1 – 3 life: 3 speed: 5 initiative: 8
Skills: sea creature, crippling strike.
Characteristics: attack: 2 defense: 3 damage: 2 – 3 life: 5 speed: 6 initiative: 9
Skills: sea creature, crippling strike, bone armor.
Again, a giant crab is more brutal and doesn't take up the 1st level slot, where the core race should be.
2) Coral Man – Coral Warrior. Sea Fields – Coral Fields
Characteristics: attack: 4 defense: 4 damage: 4 – 6 life: 18 speed: 4 initiative: 6
Skills: sea creature, magical awareness.
Characteristics: attack: 5 defense: 5 damage: 5 – 6 life: 25 speed: 4 initiative: 8
Skills: sea creature, magical awareness, poisonous spikes, poisonous claws.
Is this something like my previous avatar? The rating is average. :rolleyes:
3) Mermaid – Triton. Mermaid Hive – Coral Hive
Characteristics: attack: 5 defense: 3 damage: 3 – 6 life: 17 speed: 3 initiative: 10 arrows: 5 mana: 10
Skills: archer, sea creature, spellcaster.
Characteristics: attack: 6 defense: 5 damage: 5 – 7 life: 30 speed: 4 initiative: 10
arrows: 6 mana: 15
Skills: archer, sea creature, spellcaster, no penalty in melee.
Does the mermaid change gender when upgraded? These should be separate units. And in general, I've always wondered why everyone puts mermaids in a sea city? They are beautiful sea maidens who, in general, should not be in a regular army. Maybe to add some good to the city? Anyway...
4) Water Horse – Seahorse. Sea Pasture – Sea Barrow
Characteristics: attack: 10 defense: 8 damage: 10 – 12 life: 45 speed: 7 initiative: 11
Skills: large creature, sea creature, rage.
Characteristics: attack: 13 defense: 9 damage: 11 – 15 life: 55 speed: 8 initiative: 12
Skills: large creature, sea creature, rage, poisonous horn.
Is this something like a nightmare/unicorn made of water? There's already a light unicorn. There's also a water elemental. The rating is uncertain, but, perhaps, this unit has no place in the city, because there are more interesting creatures.
5) Shriekers – Sirens. Tower of Fear – Tower of Fury
Characteristics: attack: 12 defense: 12 damage: 13 – 13 life: 50 speed: 5 initiative: 11
arrows: 7
Skills: archer, semi-sea creature, banshee scream.
Characteristics: attack: 16 defense: 15 damage: 18 – 18 life: 60 speed: 5 initiative: 11
arrows: 7
Skills: archer, semi-sea creature, banshee scream, love scream, rage scream,
destruction scream, immunity to mind control.
Too many spells and too high a level; they are too weak to destroy walls. It's better not to give Sirens level 3, at most - level 4.
6) Octopus: giant sea octopuses helped build underwater cities and earned a place of honor among the creatures of Atlantis. Octopuses are able to lengthen their tentacles, which prevents the enemy from reaching out to strike back.
Attack with four tentacles: attacks four cells in front.
Squid: dark blue relatives of octopuses have always differed from their brethren in that they lived in dark sea forests. Squids are able to pass through any terrain, regardless of obstacles, and as if flowing around them, like water itself. Also, myths are associated with squids about creatures that sank ships.
Attack with eight tentacles: in addition to the four front cells, it attacks two side cells.
Ink: the squid is able to spray ink on the four front cells, thereby blinding all creatures standing in front for 3 turns. The effect is exactly the same as the blinding spell.
Obstacle bypass: thanks to the lengthening tentacles and suckers on them, the squid easily overcomes any obstacles, like a flying creature.
Another oddity is that everyone wants to put an Octopus on level 6. Well, it's not a land animal, it won't be able to walk on land, even with magic. It will look stupid.
7) Sea Serpent – Sea Dragon. Underwater Cave – Cave of Shimmers
Characteristics: attack: 25 defense: 25 damage: 28 – 52 life: 160 speed: 7 initiative: 11
Skills: large creature, sea creature, sea scales.
Characteristics: attack: 31 defense: 28 damage: 38 – 60 life: 210 speed: 8 initiative: 13
Skills: large creature, sea creature, sea scales, snake constriction,
immunity to water element.
Sea serpent... Partly not bad, but absurd. How will it squeeze a unit in the game? And squeezing is a bad ability. Not everyone in the world of Ashan is so easy to squeeze...
In short, Nothing and Leviathan win. Not too seriously, but they win.
I tried to be objective, because from the very beginning the race didn't appeal to me at all. Now my attitude is a little better - it seems you were trying to create a kinder race. Hmm... Well, it still doesn't break any records. Maybe I'll write my own version, but that won't be today.
