lol opposite to ‘I want to ride a pony’ text would be ‘I want to ride a kitty’. maybe that’s the humor they see in it? And for goodness sake, another troop for Broken Spire? Kingdoms low in troop count should be considered when deciding who we should vote for. Can’t vote in good conscience. 😐 ---

Copied my post from elsewhere I don’t think I’ll vote, I’m not keen on any of the choices. Giants are vastly under represented, so are elves, decent ones anyway. I’m not complaining, I didn’t really push any idea based on a kingdom forwards but nothing there really gets me thinking, ‘yes, we absolutely need this’ ---

Cyborg shark-man? Cyborg shark-man. Maybe there’s an inventor building pistol-hands and mecha-peg-legs for Blackhawk’s pirates. Who’d be crazy enough to do that? Sparkgrinder, probably. Both of the Merfolk troops we’ve seen have been humanoids with shark heads, which is a nice take on aquatic people. I wonder if they’ll all be sharks or if we’ll see other creatures of the deep, like the crew of the Flying Dutchman in Pirates of the Caribbean. I hope it’s the latter, so that we can have squid-men and crab people. Look like crabs, talk like people… ---

Likes? Decisions involved bag of wine, clothes line, and devs passing out. No thought or logic went into these picks. Oh, and divine daemon will cause a religious S storm. ---

This does seem to be a really inefficient and laborious way of doing it. How many stages and different ‘designers’ will there be in the end product? Be more rewarding for people to put forward full suggestions which can then be modified. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/design-a-troop-week-two-theme-visual-style/31509.md?page=2)
