A new race idea.
Easteners (or something)
They would be neutral and their classes would be something like:
Samurai, ninja, battle-monk and magic user. Of course there would be more than these and upgrades and stuff. So, what do you say?

I'm a happy man, with happy feelings all of the time.

No they're not. They're just gangster policemen with the ablity to insta-kill anyone who opposes them at short range. Just boring skilled fighters, and critical hits have no placy in Wesnoth.Dreadwing wrote:Why samarai are cool....

Welcome to the forum, Baba.
I think what you'll find here is that if you want to see something in the game, the best way to do it is get working on it. Finished ideas are much less impressive than work begun. If you want to see a faction of Samurai, start building one yourself!
No one will stop you.
Now, no one may help you initially, but they're much more likely to if you have something started to show them.

I am not at all opposed to a faction of eastern-styled humans. This would very definitely improve the game world, since players would be able to travel to distant lands and actually encounter different cultures of warriors when they got there.
Rather than seeing the same units used to represent humans in a culture that would actually appear very different, externally.
More human units will be bound by the same constraints of racial identity given the current humans.
However, they need to be good looking, and they will also need a full set of graphics, which means a bit more than what we currently have for most units in the game - for example, they will need death animations.

Can I suggest the 'Eastern' humans are inspired more by Arabia and North Africa than Japan/China?
The savanna and desert terrain tiles look beautiful, and currently there's very few Wesnoth units that do well on sand (outside of Burning Suns). A race of desert warriors could add to the game, and allow a few more maps based on those tiles to be created.
That said, regarding Jetyrl's comments on art - that's a lot of work you're volunteering for, Baka Neko...

Not a bad idea
I think that it could be interesting to have a kind of "Eastern" units. Even if it isn't very different strategically, it could give some ideas to make new campaigns.
Re: Not a bad idea
So, couldn't you just make your own faction and put it in your campaign?Tux2B wrote:I think that it could be interesting to have a kind of "Eastern" units. Even if it isn't very different strategically, it could give some ideas to make new campaigns.
