OIC. Makes sense now, and I agree - there is definately a bug contingent.

Cactus - Aquilla is the Kyrie General, AND the High Priestess of the Moon:

From the Scrolls:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heroscape - Thormun's Journal
CHAPTER 5: Aquilla’s Alliance
Journal Entry #47
From the pen of Sgt. Drake Alexander:
Warm bath water washes away the long and tiresome journey. A white robe with golden trim is given to me to wear while my uniforms are washed and patched. I don’t recognize the food, but it doesn’t taste half bad and is a welcomed change from the dry trail rations.
These people just found us wandering the swamps, and yet we are treated here as guests of great honor…
From the view on the overhang the city looked small. Here on the ground the buildings tower upwards and the gaps between them form a maze of dirt paths. The steady sound of the falls, away in the distance, fills the air. All who pass us greet us by clasping their hands together and rocking them back and forth, a bright expression spread across their faces.
Our footsteps clatter on a stone floor and echo off of a vaulted ceiling. Like the outside of most of the buildings here the inside of this one is engraved with intricate designs, only these have been preserved from the wind and rain. The engravings stretch up from the floor to the ceiling. Panel by panel they appear to tell a story, the details of which I can’t make out on my own, and no explanation is offered.
We pass through an archway into a small alcove. The room is filled with kyrie but a tall and beautiful woman drowns out the presence of everyone else in the room. My eyes are fixated upon her. Her flawless skin is a deep red brown, like the other kyrie of the moon tribe. Her hair is long and black. Several ornamented braids of varying thickness hang alongside her silky smooth tresses.
She speaks. Her voice is high and clear like the ring of a bell. At first I don’t understand her words, but then I see Sonlen make a gesture with his hand and her words become clear.
“I am Aquilla, priestess of the Moon Tribe, partaker of the magic waters.” She pauses and looks directly into my eyes. “I have foreseen your return to the city, Thorian, you will restore us. With your blade you will drive back the plague of the fleshless-ones. Tonight we feast, tomorrow we fight!”

It occurs to me that the "Braves" could actually be an Aquilla kyrie squad. That gives you the tribal feel without the actual Indian tribes.

I really like that idea. I still think it will be regular old Indians, but this would be very interesting I think.

That would scream for a black robot in Wave 10. That would be perfect!

Ice Pirates was great in its day, I swear HBO used to have that and Krull on an endless loop.

[SuperflyTNT]

Krull rocks.

Although very similar to Slayers, I would prefer Cylons.

[Toad Rocket]

Cylon squads....ehh, why the heck not. that red eye thing freaked me out as a kid.

My two main hopes for wave 9 are: One, they make the "braves" (if Indians since it's still not a complete difinate) Ullar since they are Native Americans, and save Aztecs and Myans for Aquilla. (I've explained this several times but to put it short I mainly think Native Americans work with Ullar and the Aztecs and Myans work with Aquilla because of how they did the monks and Master Woo). Two, the "brawlers" are pirates, if not then a gladiator squad. Both I hope would following Einar.

Besides these, I'm fine with anything else they throw at us. I have some other hopes but I'm fine if they don't happen: One, Dwarves are Ullar and strong (Ullar needs some solid stats IMO, also more competative figures but I can't really hope that specifically). Two, Dividers and Defenders are the Aquilla Moon Tribe kyrie and the Ullar Protectors kyrie (I originally thought this pack was going to be related, meaning like both squads are from the same general and/or work together because the Ashigaru pack did it the same way - a title with general names - "spearmen"; "riflemen". But after hearing the kyire idea I like it better). Three, they give us more aquilla and vydar figures.
