Upcoming Unit Speculation. - Page 3

There's a lot of stuff I think would be freakin' sweet, but as for what I think we might actually see:

-Ullar Kyrie squad
-Vydar Kyrie squad
-Vydar Kyrie Warrior hero

-Orc Pterandon...too good of an idea to pass up...several folks have made virtually the same custom out of this...it's a no-brainer.

-Dreadguls...we need an Einar squad with Berserker Charge so that Valguard is no longer the only card that enhances cross-general.

-More Gladiators....Spartacus needs a squad, a few cheap followers, or something else to reflect his high cost. He's just barely justified now.

-Any and all characters or species mentioned in official bios, including Raptorians.

-More Dwarves!

-A large Einar creature....dragon, war elephant, or other.

-The Five Valkyrie Generals.....say what you will, I think we'll see them eventually.

-Thormun. A Kyrie scout for Jandar, perhaps?

-Lizard-men...perhaps one with a missing left arm?

-Additional options for all enhancements, bonding, and other powers.....a second Ullar Warlord, another card with Unleashed Fury, more Orc Archers, etc. I think when all is said and done no card will refer to just one other card unless it is specifically by name (ie Parmenio, Blastatrons, Nakita Agents).

-Figures that work with or against the castle in some way. Castle got a big push, might as well follow it up. Palace Guards, Battering Rams, Siege Towers, etc.

-Anti-type characters....characters that counter a specific type of figure. For example Dragon Slaying Knights that add attack dice versus dragons. Orc Slaying Warriors, Anti-Soulborg Agents, etc.

I think there will be aquatic units because of the valhalla map and its islands (including GB's).

Yes, possibly more gladiators preferably squads, unique or otherwise.

Maybe more vikings, Ulrick or otherwise and definately another samurai hero.

I would really like to see dwarfs but i think thats a long shot...

Chimps with jetpacks!!! (instead of stupid Vydar kyrie.)

There also needs to be some kind of castle countering unit. Some kind of battering ram unit would work. One that lets you roll the D20 and break down the door if you get more than 5. I also think some catapults/ballista would be probable- It's abilities would be that you can't roll hight advantage when defending an attack from the catapult/ballista.

I like the idea of Primadons having different ape species like in Planet of the Apes. Gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans...

Yes, you are seeing the great vision. Don't let it die!

P.S. I also think it is hihgly probable for Einar to get an elphant instead of a dragon.

I think a double based (Huge-Large) Viper Unit.
And, siege weapons/boats

Not to say that every group should be as developed as the Orcs or Marro, but at least have 2 squads (with a hero or two) that fit a theme. A great example was the Blastatrons in wave 5 that fit in great with the Gladiatrons and Major X-17. Also I think that instead of just themes being extended, there should be more units that share special powers. This would give you more options when drafting. A great example would be the wolves.

The Anubian wolves seem like an unfinished theme. Khosumet's points aren't really justified with just them, as they're the only units now with Unleashed Fury. Perhaps another unit down the line could have that power, not necessarily wolves, but something that would look good together like the Vipers and Elves. But still, I do think there should be more wolves.

Yeah, hopefully something like the armoc vipers will come in wolf form. Since the vipers have a hero that helps frenzy, and a diff group with venoc warlord bonding, maybe another wolf group with darklord bonding will come.

Craig said the problem with pirates was you would then need ships.

I don't like to wish harm on folks, but hopefully someone will smack this nonsense out of him.

I don't care if we have ships or not....I just want some Pirates! Their epic battle against the monkeys, zombies, ninjas, and robots must be fought!
