Knight of the Temple
Auto-translated
Here is another race for you. Of course, it may seem naive to you, but I tried my best.
Order of the Knights of Elrath
Lore – after the Griffin Empire and Queen Isabel allied with the necromancers, the great knight Ferdinand, then merely a high nobleman, and many knights with their servants left the Empire, relocating to one of the large sea islands. While the war raged, the refugees began to build a fortress-city. It was then that Ferdinand decided to create the Order of the Knights of Elrath. The knights readily supported him, and within a few years, they erected the great Order. Now the crusaders have sworn to cleanse the world of undead, corruption, and demons.
Symbol – Fleur-de-lis, Black Cross.
Capital – Fortress of Saint Elrath.
1. Squire – subjects of the knights who hope to one day become great heroes. They are unconditionally loyal to their lords. Excellent armament and stunning endurance make them a strong opponent on the battlefield.
Large shield. Shield Wall.
Sword-bearer – subjects who serve their knight-lords unconditionally are initiated as sword-bearers. They are required to carry the knight's primary weapon – his sword. On the battlefield, they act as heavily armored infantry.
Large shield. Counterattack (same ability as Warmongers).
2. Crossbowmen – soldiers armed with powerful crossbows, serving as the primary ranged forces of the Order.
Shooter. Precise Shot. Arrows pierce armor by 25%.
Shielded Crossbowmen – heavily armored crossbowmen who carry a large tower shield on their backs, which protects them from enemy arrows.
Shooter. Tower shield (same as large shield). Arrows pierce armor by 25%.
3. Halberdier – superbly trained infantry of the Order who have mastered the halberd and do not fear monsters. They are undaunted by strong enemies and the hardships of soldier's life.
Stunning Blow. Monster Slayer.
Pikemen – skilled pikemen capable of halting an enemy offensive.
Preemptive Strike (if an enemy unit wants to attack the pikemen, the pikemen strike first, then the attacker). Long Spears (from the 4th heroes, prevents the attacked unit from delivering a retaliatory strike).
4. Brothers of the Sword – heavily armored knights who have not yet been accepted into the Order and prefer to fight on foot. They constitute a powerful shock force and are armed with heavy two-handed swords. It is said that during battle they fall into a rage, tearing enemies to shreds.
Knight armor (same as Mountain Defender armor). Rage. Battle Frenzy.
Brothers of the Blade – knights who have not yet been accepted into the Order must pass a trial. They fight valiantly and are known throughout Ashan for their thin poisoned stilettos, which they wield with ease.
Knight armor. Stiletto Strike (once per battle, he can strike with a stiletto, ignoring all defense and poisoning the enemy).
5. Temple Knights are known throughout Ashan for their fearlessness and strength. In peacetime, they guard and stand honorary sentinel in the temple of Elrath, built in the crusaders' fortress-capital; however, during battle, they plunge into the thick of the fight, thereby inspiring their soldiers and brothers.
Knight armor. Fearless. Aura of Courage. Cleaver.
Guards – the personal guard of the Grand Master. These knights are armed with crossbows, but during battle they can enter melee combat, for they wield the sword no less skillfully.
Knight armor. Shooter. Melee combat without penalty.
6. Aristocrat Knights – noble brothers of the Order, equipped with very heavy gear, acting as heavy cavalry on the field. Their attack can knock back an enemy unit.
Cavalry Charge. Powerful Blow (similar to the bear's paw strike). Sacrifice (every day the knight donates 15 coins to the treasury). Large creature.
Pike Knights are true professionals of their craft. They have dedicated their entire lives to studying the art of cavalry.
Cavalry Charge. Tournament Strike. Large creature.
Basically, Isabel's Knights.
7. Paladins – holy knights who have sworn their oath to Elrath personally. Fighting in foot formation alongside their brothers, they are distinguished by an authentic faith in the forces of light.
Knight armor. Immunity to Dark magic. Fearless. Spellcaster (mana is quite limited):
Grace – an ability that simultaneously casts Stone Skin, Divine Strength, and Haste on a friendly unit, and also heals health to maximum.
Prayer – same as the knight.
Divine Vengeance – same as the Seraphs.
Crusaders – brave knights who represent the pinnacle among the brothers of the Order. These fierce warriors have dedicated their lives to studying the art of sword fighting.
Knight armor. Berserker. Battle Frenzy. Whirlwind attack (like Hydras). Cleaver.
Buildings
I will only write about the special ones:
Training Ground – growth for levels 1-2-3 increases by 6-5-4 respectively.
Sword Forge – allows a Marshal hero to forge a named sword (more details on this later).
Military School levels 1, 2, 3 – allows a Marshal hero to learn combat skills (I'll write about them later, but let's say they are like inspiration, sabotage, or war cries).
Cathedral – increases morale by 2.
Hero Abilities.
A hero of the Order is a Marshal. A Marshal is a combat commander of the Order and a general.
Generalship – a special ability of the Marshal. It increases initiative by 10\20\30% respectively, increases movement points by 15\30\45, and morale by 1-2-3. Allows learning military skills.
Sword-bearer – a special ability allowing the Marshal to forge a special sword for himself, endowing it with various properties. The sword can be given a stunning or poisoning attack. In short, an artifact sword.

Немертво то, что в вечности живет,
Со смертью времени и смерть умрет.
Со смертью времени и смерть умрет.
