And here’s some ideas of what the infected look like. I imagined them being like otters, but mutated.

AI generators actually do a good job for this, given that the troops SHOULD look wrong.

I absolutely love this.

Just a couple of things, all troops are mostly mythologically
based.

Also there’s Latin used vulpines vulpacea.

So only thing I’d maybe change is call the otters

The Lutrines

It’s very close to the Latin, and will relate to otters
Plus sounds very Star treky/doctor who. Vibes

For the delve side of the kingdom, I had this thought.

Underworld Kingdom: The Infected Wound
Description: An open sore in the landscape of the underworld, where vile creatures dwell and seek to contaminate any who approach.
Restriction: Yellow/Blue
Troops:

  • Distorter - Rare - MC 13 - Colour Yellow/Blue - Type Mutant/Centaur - Role Striker - Traits (Deep Strength, Revenge, Mutated Armour) - Spell (Tempting Attack: Deals (magic+5) damage to target enemy, boosted by status effects applied to that enemy. There is a 5% chance, boosted by status effects applied to that enemy, that a random ally devours myself. [1:5])
  • Soot Mage - Ultra-Rare - MC 15 - Colour Yellow/Red - Type Mutant/Centaur - Role Warlock - Traits (Deep Vitality, Scalding, Mutated Spirit) - Spell (Toxic Smoke: Apply a random status effect to each enemy troop, boosted by all status effects applied to all enemy troops. [1:2])
  • Poison Spellslinger - Epic - MC 16 - Colour Blue/Red - Type Mutant/Centaur - Role Assassin - Traits (Deep Magic, Poison Spores, Mutated Claws) - Spell (Acid Blast: Deal (Magicx2) splash damage to target enemy, boosted by all status effects on all enemies. [1:5])
  • Phantom Noir - Legendary - MC 18 - Colour Blue/Brown - Type Mutant/Centaur - Role Warmaster - Traits (Deep Magic, Frozen Soul, Contaminate) - Spell (Dark charge: Summon a The Infect Wound troop. Deal (magic) damage to a random enemy. There is a 15% chance to gain an extra turn, boosted by all status effects on all enemies, up to 90%. [1:4])

And I imagined them being deformed into having extra legs, but being similar. Like this.

Hadn’t thought about that. Thanks. Lutrines sounds great. Thought the idea of fierce otters that had become war-like because they’re corrupted by toxic water would fit the idea that otters are usually peaceful and cute in stories, like Narnia as you say.

Mutant honey badgers would be AWESOME. Hadn’t thought about that, but I’d love to see honey badgers troops. Maybe that would make a better delve option, and some of the normal kingdom troops could be centaur-type mutants.

Honestly love it.

There’s defo a disassociation between the names of the creatures.

And the otter species tho.

I’d try and find any references to otters in any type of mythology.

Not every troop has to have an otter related name.
But a good amount should.

The game does that a lot.

Toxic water, mutating otters into talking fighting beings.

So you’ll need one with freaky eyes.
One with maybe different coloured skin
One with skin falling off, like a zombie/rabies type

The underworld ones, maybe blind otters.
One wearing steam punk glasses

We had a TV show over here in UK called the wombles.

Have a look at how they were dressed.

Maybe for inspiration, for the underworld otters.

There’s some fictional otters (and other similar animals) here, but I don’t think they’d reference fictional characters: List of fictional musteloids in animation - Wikipedia

Spotted this, though, and that might have better ideas: Otter Symbolism & Meaning & the Otter Spirit Animal | UniGuide

Yeah, exactly. Different things wrong with them, due to the toxins in their surroundings.

Otr would be good. Ahuízotl and Wadjet seem to be the only names I can find, but I do like the idea of using mythology for some of the names.

I also hadn’t come up with all the details for the class yet, but figured it would have a similar trait to the main mutant ones, making it more powerful the more status effects it has, but it’d be a unique one. And then, the other traits would be about causing status effects.

12

So otters have claws

So a mythic spell.

Rabid claws

6 true damage attacks on random enemies
With 50% chance to inflict , poison and disease
And 10% chance for lethal damage. :wink:.
I’m good at this

And the true damage can be low but scale with status effects. Perfect.
First thought was for the chance of lethal damage to increase, but that might but too powerful unless it was limited (like, “up to 25%”, or something). But yeah, that’s the kind of spell that would work well with Lutrines/Mutants.

14

So all your spells have to be par the course.
Nothing over the top

6 true damage attacks is stronger than morthani
Then you’ve a little extra with poison and disease.
So 10 percent would be a max for lethal .

You can’t make anything stronger than boss troops.

Tried the AI generator with womble clothing and it doesn’t seem to know what that is, but it did give this (among a bunch of t-shirts and shorts and coats).

I really don’t like mutants it’s to X-Men marvel.

Maybe Lutrines dwarfs
And underworld. Lutrines undead.

Then you can incorporate a stormheim enemy as lore.

It then incorporates

Otr the otter dwarf god.

Yeah, trying to figure out the balance compared to other troops is tricky, definitely can’t be stronger than boss troops if it’s a mythic (or mythics for a legendary, etc). That’s why I though having it deal low damage on the six strikes, with a scaling, would be better.
Thanks for your help, think this could be a great idea if it gets added to the game (with whatever tweaks they decide to make, obviously).

18

Can you try, otter. Viking. Undead. In that ai generator.
Or otter , zombie, dwarf.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Having a name for them specifically, like Lutrines, is better. I just wanted to use Mutant to emphasise the gimmick of them being altered by the toxins, but I guess “mutant” feels more like a genetic thing, so it’s not right for that. Mutated claws/armour/spirit would still work, but the class being Lutrine would fit better.

Edit: added here to avoid making extra posts.
