Btw for the win check this out:

2 ways of creating damage armor system:

All fighters units can have attack stronger against damage dealers but armor weak against magic units!
All damage dealers can have attack stronger against magic units but armor weak fighters units!
All magic can have attack stronger against fighters units but armor weak against damage dealers units!
All deal 75% damage to hero and 50% to structures!

another one look like this:
All human races, have same attack type, stronger than undead but weak armor against nigh elves
All undead races, have same attack type, stronger than orc but weak armor against humans
All orc races, have same attack type, stronger than night elves but weak armor against undead
All night elves races, have same attack type, stronger than humans but weak armor against orc
again all deal 75% damage to hero and 50% to structures!

I think that will this blow footies competition for sure, just check those combinations! You will have weaker and stronger units, but even with weak armor some races have increased hit points or armor, making them equal to better (damage-attack) race!

Now only heroes left to explain and we are done in resurrection CHF to whole new level!

Ofc guys even if Bond009 accept my idea and your suggestions this will require some time!

I don't know anything about doing maps, not even mentioning coding.
Well then it seems this idea needs more thought into it, but if bond says he won't approve it then.. t/c?

but from experince anything more then 5-6 races becomes IMMPOSSIBLE to balance

so balancing 12 would be INSANE

i wouldnt mind seeing a revamp of the races using some of you ideas and the addition of a 6th race however ( perferably another ranged one)

I suffer from a condition called dislexix disgraphia so please parden my spelling and typographical errors

So basically for start create races, then start working on abilities and shitz

also i wasn't really planning on going this route anyway, although it is a neat idea. I wanted to make all units custom also and have items that you can buy to represent abilities that can be added to units as they spawn. If you remember way back to old Footmen Custom at all you'll know kinda what i mean. It was a footmen game with nothing special other than it had shops to buy item-abilities at that get added to make your units customizable and strong, it was pretty neat.
