Jernoran- Halfling Civ

[mimic]

Download is Here

A new civ I made for fun, the Jernoran are a race of halflings. They aren't at all like the Hobbits from LOTR though (even if they are the main inspiration) these Halflings are troublesome opportunists, nomadic wanderers, and seekers of wealth like the ones from DnD, well thats the description I got from wikipedia

Changelog for Vers 2!

1. Made worker halfling size
2. Gave new ability "steal gold" to Thief
3. Added new building "Levee" that makes rivers a lot better for halflings
4. Thieves Guild now gives more exp to recon units
5. New unit graphic for Myrmidon
6. halflings now get "Halfling Slinger" uu for archer
7. New "Pitfall" improvement that causes damage to non halflings who move on it

Features

leaders get 3 traits each, all units get weak promo, all units get halfling promo, all units are very small. They have a good synergy with recon line and are good with animals.

Also it would be cool to get rid of the teamcolor hair and just make it black/brown

World Spell: Rise of the Halfmen, gives all halfing units extra strength

I need ideas and suggestions

I could also use some new art if you want to help with this PM me.

Special thanks to:

• Tasunke for ideas

• Chuggi for units
• GarretSidzaka for the female crossbow

I duno... starting with the Weak promotion could severely gimp them, especially in the early game. Perhaps a strength reduction would be better? Something like -20% strength/+10% withdrawal for the racial promotion.

 

[mimic]

With kaliptar as the leader they have aggressive, raiders and defensive and halfling which is altogether +20% str, +10% str in borders, 20% withdraw always, 0-2 first strikes always, can move on enemy roads ... they are really small, smaller than dwarves. Giving them -20% strength would just negate the effects of combat 1 or whatever, Weak isn't that crippling for them with all the bonuses they get.

EDIT: Well that gave me an idea for their worldspell:

Gives all their units +1 str

need a name for it.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

cool! interesting idea, well done mimic

 

[Tasunke]

Rise of the Halfmen ... name for worldspell.

 

[Opera]

That's interesting

Oh, does Karine give +2 to males?

 

[mimic]

I was falamar

 

[Opera]

Ah, dumb me!

I like her picture... Icewind Dale II, if I'm not mistaking.
You'll use a civ trait for the weak promo?

 

[mimic]

Thats right, The picture is from Icewind Dale II

There already was a trait for the weak promo, so I just used that

 

[Opera]

Ah, yes, I forgot that
I'm eager to see the development of your mod!

Thanks would anyone be willing to edit a graphic for me? check the Hero info in the first post if you want to help

Did you post this in the Unit Request thread? You could find help there.

 

[Opera]

If you want, I can do the button with the inspiration image you posted, though. I'm an expert buttoneer

(i saw your post in the Unique Request thread )

 

[mimic]

Hehe, that would be great! could you do buttons for the leaders too? or am I being greedy

 

[Opera]

No problem
Did you do their main file, the big one?

 

[mimic]

Aye, I've already got their portraits ingame. But no button Kaliptar is using falamars button

 

[Opera]

Oh! I did them too since I begun before you answered. I don't know if you did the 125% stretch trick so that they look alright ingame (not in the selection screen).

Did the hero and leaders' buttons and banners

 

[mimic]

Oh wow thanks a bunch, I'm useless at the art stuff, barely managed to get the portraits in this is very helpful

 

[Opera]

You're welcome
This is certainly just how much I will be able to help you, though. I'm stuck at the button-making in art mastery
