The Elemental Hordes (development stage:theoretical)

[FireMaster]

This era is supposed to be about having a horde of units focusing on one element,therefore 1 damage type.
Each faction will have 2 base units-a mage and a fighter,and they will branch as they level.


Unit tree
Fire-
Fire Elemental-->Fire Monster-->Fire Beast
-->Flame Ghost-->Flame Spectre
-->Flame Thrower-->Flame Blaster
Flame Mage-->Pyromancer-->Lavamancer
-->Fire Summoner-->Fire Sage
-->Runeblade-->Fireblade


Air-
Air Elemental-->Tornado-->Hurricane
-->Thunder Elemental-->Lightning Elemental
Air Mage-->Windmancer-->Tornadomancer
-->Windblade-->Airblade
-->Air Summoner-->Air Sage
-->Windrider-->Flier

Ice-
Ice Elemental-->Snowstorm-->Blizzard
-->Frost Beast-->Ice Monster
-->Snowblaster-->Iceblaster
-->Frost Golem-->Frost Giant
Ice Mage-->Snowmancer-->Blizzardlord
-->Frostblade-->Iceblade

Water-
Water Elemental-->Tidal Wave-->Tsunami
-->Water Beast-->Water Golem
Water Mage-->Tidemancer-->Lord of Waves
-->Sea Summoner-->Sea Sage
-->Waterblade-->Tide Changer
-->Swimmer-->Deep Mage

That's all for now!

Thanks Weeksy!

I think that I will use some images from this.

My aim is to create an ERA of elemental units

[FireMaster]

Here's the 4 basic magi.

[Temuchin Khan]

Fire, Air, Ice, and Water?

That matches none of the traditional lists of elements:

Western: Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Chinese: Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, Wood

[Weeksy]

especially since Ice is water in another form. That's like having both Tree and Plant as elements.

I mean Ice as the ability to freeze things (cold magic obviously)
I want to have an original element replacing a well known one.

Freezing is simply the cessation of molecular movement. The question of whether Ice in that sense might have been included among the Elements by one culture or another would depend on whether the culture in question could reasonably have been expected to know that. If they lived far enough north to know what ice was, I suspect that the ability to observe water freezing would be anough to give them an inclination of this.

Anyway, if you want to be different, use the Chinese list! It probably isn't as well known to most Wesnoth players as the European list.

Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, Wood

Water could include both ice and steam. And wouldn't it be fun to dream up a metal elemental?

Just some thoughts, do with them what you will.

Anyone proficient with fire magic or cold magic is certain to realise that one is just the absence of the other.

[Sgt. Groovy]

How about Void, then?

[Iris]

How about Void, then?

What about electromagnetism? Or something like a generalization of Light and Darkness (oh well, that would be presence and absence of visible wavelength, but that's another subject).

[thespaceinvader]

Phlogiston?
Flesh?
Ash?
Bone?
The Humours (bile, blood etc)

All could be or have been considered to be elements in the past, and might make for a much more interesting idea than the standard 4. But i do have to say... Didn't i show you a better way of recolouring units than poor-quality fuzzy paintbrushing?

[FireMaster]

Yes,but I still use the airbrush (not paintbrush)

[Temuchin Khan]

Hmmm....

An element of Void might be interesting, no? On the other hand, it is difficult to visualize a "Void Elemental" -- if it is an elemental, it exists; and if it exists, it is not void; and if it is not void, it is not a void elemental.

Have we created another "Cretan Liar" paradox?
