Fungi - Elves, Undeads, and Orcs

Post by Puss_in_Boots »

An easily producable army available to most races that exist currently. The fungi will be produced from a tower every turn which will dissipate after 4 turns. The fungi will last for only 3 turns. The towers can be summoned by these casters:
-Elven wizard
-Lich
-Troll shaman

If you like the idea I can finish their stats.

Elven Fungi:
-Orange, with green eyes.
-Dies on snow tiles
-Loses 1 despawn on a Desert tile.
-Fungal tower survives on Desert tiles, but cannot produce units there.
-50% more attack in forest tiles.

-Fungal warrior, holds a spear in two hands ready to stab the enemy.
-Fungal shielder, resist the most damage of its kind, but Has a very weak attack.
-Spore slinger, shoots spiky spores at their opponents to deal damage.

Undead Fungi:
-Purple, with red eyes.
-Capable of surviving on every environment.

-Fungal drainer, leeches health off of its enemies to survive longer.
-Fungal grenadier, Aims at the head of its target, with 70% chance of choking him with spores.
-Fungal pawn, spawn all around the Fungal Tower and are very weak.
-Fungal trapper, plants spore mines that grow to tangle the lifeform when it detects a living being above it.

Orcish Fungi:
-Green, with green eyes. Has a rough cap.
-Can survive most environments
-More beastly, but produce in two turns.
-Are slowed down to half speed in Forest and snow terrains.
-Climbs mountains at a speed of one.

-Shroomite Pounder, think of the Fleshpound from KF.
-Shroomite Shielder, more powerful than the fungal shielder.

Interesting, but give elf version forest instead of desert, orcish version can have desert.

The idea was that the Orcish fungi can only survive in fertile lands (e.g. Forests, plains, or swamps.) Without enough nutrients to sustain their needs in the desert they would die.

Besides they are supposed to look like vomit so I think where the land is green would be more suitting for them.

Orcs are a hearty race, able to survive in really harsh environments. Their fortress is a volcano. Tolkien mythology practically depicts Mordor as a barren, lifeless place. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they ate a lot of fungus simply because it's one of the few things that would survive there.

Okay, I would give the Elven Fungi some sort of advantage too.

I was figuring the elf fungi would probably die in desert or snow, but persist in forests. Orc fungi can survive anywhere, have 6 turns of life, but requires double​ movement cost on tiles with features. ie: anything but desert, grass. Orc fungi can slowly move through mountain terrain. Undead fungi can traverse water easily enough.

Elven Fungi already dries up in the desert and dies quicker than the other fungi.

Why would the orcish fungi slow down on mountain terrains, but not on deserts? I've been hiking once and I see plant life flourish there..

Oh. By loses 1 despawn I thought you meant it survived longer, not shorter. And by slow movement on mountain terrain for orc fungi, I mean to say they can climb through terrain most units would consider to be impassable if they can't fly. Being that they can traverse such terrain, it's best to have it done slowly to avoid it being overpowered.

Okay, they can climb mountains at 1 speed, like rangers from AoS.

Exactly. This helps orcs maneuver through mountains, despite their lack of air support.

I imagined them to have a single large eye.

The image does look a little cool, having the team color on the caps. I'd like for the spots on the cap to have Team Coloring instead. They should be more colorful, but menacing too. Like they are ready to die since they disappear in a few turns. This guy looks a bit bored.

You should try looking at my descriptions for them above.

Here's some concept art I drew, you can see his color kinda coordinates with his race, the real image will be a lot more complicated to do.

The next ones I draw won't be as dirty or brutish, unless it is an Orcish kind. :)

Okay here is my unshaded version of the fungal warrior, of the Elven type.

I'm starting to think we might try to rewrite this entire idea into a new race. Fungi would be a cool race to play, and very original as far as fantasy games go.

Sure we could go for a different approach, but that would require more work to go into it to become an individual and functioning race.

I think the separate race could appear white and similar to typhoon's style
