Hmm... You see, the problem is we already have 5 races planed (actually I definitely want a robot focused race as well what makes it 6) and I don't want to add any more whole another races. That's not the only problem tho:

The religious style is waaay to similar to the avians concept - I think we should just use your religious ideas for them. However only that "lore" and naming, as the gameplay mechanics will not fit at all. Also the warp mechanics will be hard to make atm.

Yea the problem with the gameplay mechanics is that I don't like how medival centered they are, I know they are religious but do I see an cavarly unit? Definitely should be some sort of a vehicle. Also you might not know, but the ranges in this game are like in AoWw - a single tile is actually huuge, and most units (like rafile infantry and tanks) have 1 range - the way melee units work is a little wierd because of that, and you suggested quite a few I think... Too much reference to the Earth's medival and religion isn't too good as well - I don't like the templars name, for example, and definitely not crusader!

So yeah, some ideas could fit into the avain race, try to read about them and adpat this to them.

I definitely appreciate your help and ideas, please don't think that the fact I'm discarding your ideas means otherwise. I'm trying to find an use for them, and I do realize you it's hard to make good suggestion when you don't know all the plans and concepts. About that, you definitely should read the topics in introduction, especially the "must read" topic there. Some stuff is slightly outdated but still it will give you some insight about how the game is supposed to be. Also you should definitely get yourself a Dev version - just pm me your email on forum and I will sent you it there. I also suggest you join the Discord server for Ao-games - some of the discussion is taking place there, since it's more convenient. The link should be in off topics.

Btw, this race is an reference to the Eldars from Warhammer 40K, right?
