Amazons represent that adaptable human race and might even have some deep coffers to boot. I'm guessing that they feel their elemental lack - and want to hire some extra help from time to time Smile

So, how 'bout making it official that they can coax other races into the fold?

Proposed alternate rule: Human Ingenuity (racial trait)

Prior to any roll, an amazon army may designate one allied unit to be considered an Amazon unit for this roll. This trait does not alter the units color, and the unit loses other racial traits that modify movement results.

I guess they make me think of beast tamers - but I'd be particularly excited about a certain goblin unit.

This really makes the Amazons a bit too powerful. The only major problem the Amazons have, is that they can't cast magic in reserves. That means they can't retreat and bring back their dead. If I was going to make any changes to the Amazons, it would be to allow them to either roll all units for missile (as they do now), or roll all units for a "colorless" 3 point per health resurrection spell.

I think the Amazons are fine as they are. Changing them to a health spell thing would in my opinion make an attempt to just make the races the same so to speak. It makes it far more interesting when they can each do different things that the others cant.

Hey, don't forget; you don't need to get the company to do an overhaul of the rules if you want to add something new to your favorite race - try house rules! Mr. Green

Just tell your friends at your next DD game that you want to try your new racial ability (Human Ingenuity) out in a casual game, write out your proposed rule change on a piece of paper so people can reference it during the game, and "roll" with it! Smile

Win or lose, unbalanced or not, either you'll have a lot of fun with it or you'll realize you didn't think it through enough, and you'll scratch down some notes on how to improve upon it for the next game. Do it enough, and maybe get enough feedback from your friends, and you might just find your rule brings a lot of extra flavor to your Amazons Very Happy

Just remember that your house rules aren't legitimate or viable for tournament play, of course!

New Amazon racial ability---------Witchcraft: any magic items, artifacts and medallions carried by amazon units function normally when in reserves.
