It's just a matter of fact that all creativity in this idea boils down to adding the word "swamp", and replacing a carefully crafted set of shades of green with exactly one shade of brown.
Do you think that's enough to make a faction? When people start something from scratch every little they do is an improvement and an achievement. When people just copy something and make it worse, they are asking to be compared to the original.
I'm not saying this to shoot FireMaster's faction idea down, I'm saying this because I think he can be more creative with it.

why must it be truemegame's signature wrote:Can't think of a faction to make? Pick one word from each list, then put them together to come up with a concept!
1. {Wood, Sea, Mountain, Cave, Night, Day, Moon, Ice, Fire, Water, Sky, Low, High, Desert, Tundra, City, Cheese, Disney}
2. {Elves}
(should combine cheese and moon and make a faction someday)
Look, for all you that have completely shot down this idea:
I think its a wonderful start. Slight variations can be beneficial. As for those that made fun of snow elves, dark elves, swamp elves, village elves, etc...
Let me point out one thing:
DESERT ELVES
Ya, they are different classes and different colors and great skills and all but You must realize newbs like myself start somewhere. Changing colors is a good beginning. I do think the suggestions of like a lizard are wonderful. The Blow gun can be great.
If you do a custom image I will do a cfg for you!
(I am new at coding but I CANNOT draw worth a poopie!)
And somebody asked why do people like variation in Elves?
Elves were originally local spirits of areas. They WERE everywhere (including houses for that villages comment).
So what I am saying is this idea could be immensely expanded on... I can see a great campaign in it for a group of saurians trying to throw off their new conquerors. (Perhaps lead to more Saurians unit which make waw= )
But anyways... as for the color change in the realm of a faction... go with some original art and like I said... I would help with the cfgs if I can.

What would you give for your freedom?
Sorry, was not meant to be offensive
You are free to make swamp elves, but it could be something more interesting as well, such as [beware upcoming crazy idea] dwarves forced into swamp by elves (elves antagonized for once, hmm interesting) or loyalists forced to leave armour behind (high attack low defence, most parts of image from outlaws or different and loyalist weapons)
Don't forget adjustments for swamp(bows not too suitable, slings fine)
Saurians: good images to be found here also preanimated crazy swamp creature
If you want to code there is quite a bit of unused images in [Scary Music]The Graphic Library[/Scary Music]
Be sure to keep texture after recolor(like desert elves) not just one shade of green or other colour

you know, we can worry about the frogs and lizards later. firemaster, you should focus on changing colors of animation frames of the elves. it's easy and you've already done some early artworks. also, it does not require you to make your own art, just change colors like the desert elves.
get me the sprites and i'll make you a complete cfg for your faction

Already exists, but I'm not sure it's being maintained. You could look into it, perhaps try to contact skizzaltix, it's got an undead faction, a merman faction, a naga/saurian faction, a monsters faction, and a few more IIRC

look,could everyone stop criticising my work!
Right now i am doing the animations and thinking of stats
I need some help making an era for it to.
Finally,I might be able to combine this project with the quesicans and the plauged ones to make an era
hopefully the anims will be done soon
