Razormain- main workers, melee based troops.
Lupin - archers and healers.
Pandaren - monks
Thuskars- Spearmen, skirmishers
Ahrahnid- cav
Avian- main flyers
Ratkin- assassins, stealth based.
Sharkfolk- fast amphibious units
Lagomorphs- Scout based units.
How's this for this races minotaur replacement?
Ursurs: Strong warriors could count as giants. Here's some pics for inspiration:

Savra wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 6:16 pm I was.just thinking of something what if we give the player a basic race to start but give them 2 paths to choose from? E.g.:
1st) canis branch: which focuses on strength and pack based techs (meaning techs that only affect canines.)
Races that be unlocked:
Gnolls- elites
Lupin: melee based
Foxfolk or some other name: ranged, and magic based.

2nd)Noble branch: focuses on Leonin, maenades, and other cat variants. Focus on supporting the other races.arm
Races that be unlocked:
Leonin: elites, have auras
Tigerfolk: based on melee.
Maenadas: ranged and support mages.arm

Every other race will be the starting even vulpa, but the vulpa can benefit from canine techs.

Needlemane explorer - basic worker, can be used as weak archer.
Needlemane fighter - basic fighter
Needlemane overlord - basic aura buffer unit, has thorns aura thay increases damage on counter by 25% (if no bonus than to 75%, if has bonus than to 125%)
Needlemane shaman - basic caster
Thuskarr hunter - basic archer, has bonus to dragons
Thuskarr healer - basic caster
Thuskarr warrior - advanced basic warrior
Thuskarr pikeman - basic pike unit
Thuskarr worker - worker, cost gems, has different building list (both workers have same cost and mend rate but difference is in their build lists and stats – needlemane builds for more wild units things, while thuskarr for more civil ones)

Tritons are basic naval units of race, trainable at arena and hunting range:
Triton warrior - 3 turn cost warrior that has same speed in water as on land
Triton archer - 3 turn cost archer that has same speed in water as on land
Triton sea warlock - buyable amphibious caster

No basic cavalry
Stats will be later a bit.

Buildings:
Arena (Igloo barracks as its counterpart buildable with lower cost by thuskarr workers only, unlocked normally with buying of thuskarr worker), trains melee units, basic, buildable by needlemane explorers only
Hunting range - trains ranged units, basic (has igloo counterpart as well with lower cost), buildable by needlemane explorers only
Harpy's nests - buyable, trains flying units, buildable by needlemane explorers only
Totem of power - buyable, mega building without attack but instead has aura (i am thinking about it, size 2x3) buildably by both type of workers
Runestone - trains casters (land only), buyable by both type of workers
Dark cave - trains cave monsters (special building, specifically for arachnids and troglodytes, chimeras and manticores, ratkin), buyable, mega building (2x2), buildable by needlemane explorers only
Leonin fortress - trains lamias (centaur-like half womans half lions, count as cavalry), leonins, maenadas, buyable, buildable by thuskarr workers only
Pandaren convent - trains pandaren, buyable, buildable by thuskarr workers only
Leonin's forge - blacksmith-type building, has upgrades fof leonin, thuskarrs, lamias, maenadas, pandaren, buildable by thuskarr workers only.
No dock-like buildings.

For each subrace that i have some ideas i will post them here (in this post) later.
Same with stats for current units and for upcoming ones.

As i think leonin, thuskarrs, lamias will have blacksmith-like upgrades only, pandaren and lamias both blacksmith-like and unit upgrades and other clans will have only unit upgrades (not all though: needlemanes will not have one for example, also all unit upgrades will affect only one specific clan)

Can they:
Produce units
Build
Have at least 15 units.
Have some buildings at least for decor reasons
