newclass setclassname "Dryad Queen" classdescr "In the wild forests of Elysium strange half-men roam. Since time immemorial they have lived untamed and free. But when man came to Elysium the old ways changed. The wild half-men were exposed to the gifts of civilization and some of them embraced this new order. Centaurs, once wild and quarrelsome, are now heralds of civilization and try to impose a culture not theirs on their brethren. Scripture, metal working and less useful traits of human culture have diluted the ancient ways of the half-men. Now the Queen of the Wild, a Dryad priestess of remarkable power is gathering her flock, regardless of the wishes of the Centaur Sages, to expel the humans and make Elysium what it once was, beautiful and untamed.^^In the sacred groves of Gaia wild half-men appear. They are wild and undisciplined, but they can be armed and trained to fight in an orderly fashion. Most of them are prone to go berserk and centaurs often abandon their bows to fight in melee if wounded. If brought to a castle, citadel or city the wild ones can be educated and equipped with armaments of human manufacture. Thus it is important for the half-men to ensure a steady income of iron and gold. Still, most of the armies of the Dryad Queen is comprised of animals and wild half-men barely able to tell one end of a spear from the other." classabdescr "The Dryad Queen can not buy troops (including at most special locations).^Satyrs and Harpies appear for free in sacred groves.^Centaurs and Minotaurs appear for free in sacred groves if a centaur or minotaur commander is present.^Free units can be upgraded in sacred groves, castles and cities for gold and iron.^The Dryad Queen collect herbs from forests.^The Dryad Queen use herbs to create sacred groves and summon animals." hometerr 236 addstartterr 5 setmaincom "Dryad Queen" addstartunits "Satyr Javelinist" 5 addstartunits "Satyr Warrior" 5 addstartcom "Satyr Commander" reqterr 4 classforestcit 1 mercboost -50 humancost 999 recherochance 0 recasschance 0 townbonusdescr "human mercenaries and magic items" libbonusdescr "centaur sages and human wizards" templebonusdescr "dryads and hierophants"
