> [@Jainus](#): > > before this thread gets locked I would agree with you, except the discussion so far has been quite civil, despite the tendencies for topics like this to spiral out of control. There’s no restriction on topics like this to focus on game mechanics, and the discussion is relevant to one of the released troops, so I see no reason to self-censor here. Also I can’t be the only lady waiting for an “Incubus” troop. 🙂 ---

I’d be all-in for an oversexualized male Troop, but the base themes we have in fantasy don’t have many starting points to build off. @Lyya mentioned an Incubus, that works. ---

Fun police or not, this has been brought up _so_ many times now. Not that it’s our responsibility to read it unwillingly or something… And Succubus is from Blighted Lands, not Darkstone. ---

> [@TaliaParks](#): > > the base themes we have in fantasy don’t have many starting points to build off. Nah, pretty much any of the base themes in fantasy manifest in characters that could be (and often are) super sexy. It just depends who’s looking. As an easy and obvious example? Legolas. I’d love to resurrect Tolkein and force him to read some Legolas fanfiction. Like, from his grave though because the shock would kill him again so fast… ---

They are so popular in fanfic. * * * I’m going to make a separate thread for this discussion. ---

Plenty of shirtless male troops in this game… ---

Goblin King is the only troop to accurately portray, visually, the average American male. Vote 1 for more Goblin King… ---

To newer players: Scale Guard is a good common troop, that only needs one arcane Rage for his 3rd trait. Which is available in one of the glory packs this event. That is cheap. 🙂 > **[Scale Guard - Troops - Gems of War Database](https://gowdb.com/troops/6020)** > > Twin Fang (8 Red): Deal \[Magic + 3\] damage to an Enemy.

They had this opportunity with someone like Thrall, context wise, but they clearly didn’t go for it. For a half-naked slave with the body of Superman, he looks shockingly asexual and dignified… This also applies to the Anointed One, come to think of it - basically the Corrupt Sorceress’ two boy toys! So yeah, missed opportunities, really. I’d be very interested in the general community’s response to a male troop with art even half as overtly titillating as all we’ve discussed here, honestly. There would likely be a wave of posts along the lines of “why do you want to make me gay?”; that would be priceless. ^^ > [@Jainus](#): > > Any chance anyone might talk about the troops and their spells before this thread gets locked…? There were plenty of posts about the new troops (not necessarily their spells specifically, though, but feel free to elaborate on that). Also, all of what the ladies above already said. +1! No offense, but for once there’s a group of _polite, intelligent posters_ having _an actual discussion_ on these forums… it was really unnecessary to interrupt it. > [@Shimrra](#): > > Fun police or not, this has been brought up so many times now. Not that it’s our responsibility to read it unwillingly or something… So? Do you see me jumping in every abomination passing for a thread in which little kids spam Meme Generator images and emoticons to the death (and the occasional one-liner - such as “10 characters lol”) to let them know how I feel about _that?_ 😈 As you implied: to each their own. > [@Archenassa](#): > > I’d like to make an explore team with the Sorceress, probably with the Sacrificial Priest just as @Mr.Strange suggested. I haven’t actually tried her out yet, but I love summoners and the Priest could always off the Remnants anyway. I love summoners too, and I can’t wait to draft the Sorceress in the Arena! What other posters have mentioned as a clear weakness in PVP will be a strength in there. A Level 15 fresh troop to replace a dead one is always great. When it’s an awesome troop, it’s fantastic. Obviously, the Anointed One, as an Epic, is a fair bit better, but honestly the Remnant looks like he will just rock in the Arena too, so the Sorceress’ spell will always be awesome for us. It’s not like the Daemonomicon which can reeeeeally mess with you and give you a Quasit instead of a Web Spinner. ---

I do. ^^ Okay, TP actually made a spin-off thread, so let’s move the discussion there, then: [Discussion: Sexuality in GoW - #4 by Koolbiird](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/discussion-sexuality-in-gow/11906/4) > [@TaliaParks](#): > > I’m going to make a separate thread for this discussion. You forgot to link to it! 😛 PS: If an interesting discussion springs here about the strategical usefulness of these two new troops, and/or if @Sirrian drops by to confirm he hit the “Into the Arena” button, I’ll still be around. =) ---
