Wishes for next guest race

[DeletedUser960]

I´ve searched but didn´t find an existing thread for that.

It´s not that easy to find a new guest race, as we´ve already had that many.
Can´t wish for dragons, my favorite as they were mixxed up with Sorceres.
I´d like to see Ents or Leprechauns could be funny.
Hit Number 1 would always be Mermaids.
What about making mermaids the next guest race?

Moles/miners with lots of tunneling,
Neolithic's with their stonehenges and earth barrows,
Elvenologists - a cross between Egyptology and Archeologists.
Some other world visitors (aliens) arriving through an ancient time warp.

Just a few idea's for now.

Enough of this cat worshiping! Most players hated and yet loved the Orcs chapter (well, they kept playing didn't they). Dogs are mans best friend, but the day of the WOLVES must come. But it need a twist.

Bring back the horrors & brutality of nature, by the Chapter of the Wolves & Giants.

What about blobs and make it all slimy
Or maybe ghosts and make a lot of thing translucent and smaller

anything avian

Expanding from this idea,

Moles/miners, we have the Endless Excavation and the Mountain Halls that both would fit,
Neolithic's - Mehinok's Barrow comes straight to mind and I'd love a Stoneshenge type structure in my city.
Elvenologists - The Haunted Graveyard as a starter with mummy types being dug up and becoming useful.
As for the other world visitors we have had no end of portals already so imagination for game development team and artists is endless here.

Ok, lots of good themes there, but I feel a list gets overlooked so easily as game developers will look for idea's.

hippies. that would be funny. they'd need interesting crop fields, i'm sure. i wouldn't mind having a statue of jimi hendrix in my city.
seriously, giants make the most sense. they already had giants in their winter event. why else would we need to make our buildings bigger? what didn't make sense is why halfling buildings got bigger when they're so small and why they came after dragons. shouldn't the guest races get more powerful as the chapters progress? if frodo was fighting a fire breathing dragon, i wouldn't bet on frodo.
vampires and other undead would be cool too. they'd also make great new combat units.
please no thespians. chapter 7 was bad enough.

Power doesn´t come with size! See them mermaids magic work over a giant -> Bang Boom Crash. If you don´t believe me, look it up in HP.

@yo momma love me Hippies? Crop fields? Connection to elven game world would be Flower Power. But can´t give Hendrix a statue for 1 good song. Give it to Jim Morrison and I place it right beside my Watchtower. Or next to my Merc Camp. :/ Gotta think about that ...

Feel inclined to support Notts suggestion though. Wolves.(or change fs-name, Mighty Merpeople could be it)
No need to take werewolves, can take Ay, gigantic wolves or T´lan Ay if you want gigantic zombie wolves. .
Source: Malazan Book series, 3rd book: Memories of Ice by Stephen Erikson, rich to find possible guest races anyway.

We did not have a marine race.

True. That would be nice also. What about Mermaids & Octopussies

 

[DeletedUser5976]

if frodo was fighting a fire breathing dragon, i wouldn't bet on frodo.

Don't forget that Bilbo Baggins bested Smaug

 

[DeletedUser4149]

actually, i never finished watching any of those lord of the rings movies. but most of the dragons i've heard of and seen would've eaten that little dude like he was a corn flake.
