The Idea here is to give more freedom to "Undead Faction Lovers", filling the Gap Betwen the living demons and the death. So avoid to say "Only Undeads for Undeads".

POOLS ARE HAPPENING EVERYDAY IN DISCORD ABOUT THIS TOPIC, SO STAY TUNED!

About The Veil:
These Humans got lured to the Darkness and now they offers their blood, mind and soul to the undeads for the promise of wealth and ethernal life!

The Veil will consists in spellcasters and assassins... For now, I'm thinking on 4 units + The Building at first - The "Cultist", the "Adept", the "Dark Priest" and the "Confessors". But no stats for them yet, just some toughts for abilities...

========================================================================================================================

-Roles:
The Confessors - Acts as a multipurpose laboreur - Can help skeleton workers on buildings and mend stuff, but vanishes after 3 turns.
The Cultist - Main sect infantry - can cast dark magics.
The Adept - Can spell Curses and Dark magics, also, each kill made by him, can create slaves.
The Dark priest - Can spell both good and evil magic.

-Notes:
-If any of these die in battle, unlike other undead units, they will leave the corpse on the tile.
-Any undead can use "Eat Corpse" skill on these units anytime (That includes when they are alive, but leaving no bones then).
-None of these units can walk on water or over montains.
-They are mean to be cheap units and weak in overall.
-None of them can be converted by other teams as they will have a blood pact. (Presented as tech upgrade)
-Due Img Limit (at least for me), i just posted the basic human slave... The others are in the comments bellow.
-The list of techs/skills descriptions is in the comments bellow.
-...

Definitely a good concept, we might need to refined the images a bit and some of the units could change. Overall this is perfect for the living aspect of the undead.

Big undead lover here considering my main so I differently agree with this idea

Please check out my doom spell, disbelief spell, and hyponsis spell I suggested in undead technology. Those spells might be able to work with these units

Those can work.

I have some ideas of cultists for undeads:
Blight mage
Cultist of the damned
Altar of the damned
Butcher - can be created by blight mage
Heretic
Possesed mage

Excellent! That could give more use for dark Altar
But there could be problem with slaves when fighting orcs or scaledfolks

Why?

I mean slaves they are humans

So what is the idea of slaves.?

I say they can server like workers with high mend rate.

They seem promissing. I will check them out.

Loved them, mainly the butcher and the blight mage, and would be nice to merge some aspects of these ideas... But let me point a problem with most of those ideas, the high turn-cost/efficiency they do demmand to be placed in the field. I plan something really cheap and basic to the basic members of the sect, these basic units would have a cost limit of max 4 turns to be made (Starting with human slaves with 1 turn build, 2-3 turns for cultists, 3-4 turns for the adepts and 3-4 turns to the dark priest). But that does't mean that damned cultists cannot to be implemented as advanced units later on... But let's focus on giving a basis for the idea first, then we can plan to add improved units for it.

I see, fighting against diferent species and spawning humans could be weird.
I might work on the images anyway, there are 3 slaves, so i could put the human and 2 races or make variants to each race for it... The problem with the second would be on the implementation, where - how the devs would spawn specific slaves of each faction after kills?.

they have 3/4/4/5 turns cost.
as for altar it can be changed to normal building with 5 turns cost. Ofc stats will be adjusted.

Good, its not like i have the stats for all these guys yet but would be nice to get some reference to start.

... So i made one for each faction, i think it might be usefull elsewhere aswell.

Good. Also it seems like they have capture triplets.

Yep, i guess this is it for now, those are the imgs for them, now it is time to work on their stats

Also i need to make the building... i plan something with dome structure for it, like the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore from Florence, but darker, old and abandoned... I would thank if someone else do that for me.

That if I find images close to that.

And Here it is.

What do you think that can be changed or improved?

Thinking about it.

Everything seems fine I think.

I have discussed about it and decided that the slaves should be able to build, are money courier.

As a pool winner, The sect is now The veil.

Can you change topic
Veil - sub race so people know

It can be but it is not yet for now.
General Brave was working for half of year on images for Warfell units and because of his input in adding more things to the AoF and high quality of images we will add them as subrace of humans.
