[Minnion]

Pirates
Civil War units
Some Elite Gorilinators(The move attack move would be perfect for these guys)
Pythona from the G.I. Joe movie for Vydar(She would definatly have stelth dodge and phantom walk and her acid touch would be alot like Agent Carr's Sword of reconing or perhaps like Chomp...

More medieval units. Pirates would really be great. With a carr like ability.

Turkish foot archers. No move and attack but great power over long ranges. (i love this idea o' mine)

Crossbowmen Powerful but 6 range.

DEFINITELY I want more norsemen. I dont like the current norsemen.

Mongol Horse archers. That would be great.

Naffatun: People who throw explosive pots. Short range. quick. low defence. spread out area attacks. A silver surfer ability.

I'll add later for now I have to go.

They have Hyper Speed?

Oh my god they're making me run at the enemy with a burning pot and it's gonna blow up and I'm gonna die and it's gonna hurt and I hate Valhalla I've gotta run faster faster faster faster AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

...and they're just running flat-out, eyes bugging out of their heads. I was skeptical at first, but now I can totally see that.

I think the crossbowmen should have 7 or 8 range as a crossbow bolt travels faster and farther than an arrow. (i get 7 or 8 range becuase the samurai archers have a range of six)

So in a highly abstracted game like Heroscape, what is a crossbowman's "thing" that sets him apart from a longbow archer? Is he better in every way?

Maybe he should have like a range 7, attack 3 normal attack and a range 4, attack 4 special attack. High "muzzle velocity" that bleeds off quickly.

Although crossbows are more powerful in both range and damage than a longbow, they have one downside: reload time.

Perhaps a special that limits them to one round marker per squad of crossbowmen.
