New Playable Races | Update 2.0
New Playable Races | Select Your Race And Clash!
The concept
I've took the time to update this topic, hopefully this way it's easier too read and more editable for my sake. As previously stated; This topic is about adding new playable races in the game. The idea is relatively simple, with this update you gain the option to choose between one of four races; the original Humans, the bloodthirsty Orcs, the vile Demons or the royal Nagas. This choice is not permanent though, a player can switch races during the game. Maybe a 24h cool-down is activated once a race is chosen.
No need for new troops or heroes
Each race is a visual overhaul of the original sprites. Basically changing their hair-color, skin-color and adding some minor extra features like tusks, horns, fin-ears and eye color/shading. Every troop statistic remains the same, it's only a visual add-on which will provide for a far deeper gameplay.
Each race also has it’s own suited environment, these are also based on the original layout.
- Human territory is as we all know and love it. Peaceful green grassy plains as far as the eye can see.
- Orcish territory is dark, damp and murky. Light fog roams the air and the sea is more of a greenish, sluggish swamp then an actual sea.
- Demon territory is basically a dried up wasteland, plants and trees are withering away and the sea is blood red.
- Naga territory is somewhat a sandy beach, the sea has a tropical bright green color, quite suiting for these fishy serpent creatures.
Additionally to give each race an even more unique gameplay experience the in-game music theme sounds slightly different per race.
- Human music theme stays as it is; a nice orchestra sound with chirping birds in the background.
- Orcish music theme is a more jungle / tribal approach of the original theme with owls and other woodland creatures in the background.
- Demon music theme is a more darker en distorted approach of the original theme with the sound of crows in the background.
- Naga music theme is a more steeldrum beachy sounding approach with the sounds of waves and seagulls in the background.
Clans and Races go together
First of all this update doesn't affect Clan Wars at all. The player has the ability to choose a race that he prefers and continue playing without any restrictions. Just like a player would select a language he could select a race in the 'Settings' menu (see image on the right). Only clan leaders have the ability to allow just a certain race into their clan or allow all races into their clan. This can be done in the 'My Clan' menu (see image on the left).

Pros and Cons
This concept will provide a deeper gameplay, more freedom of choice for the players, more visual goodies, less of the same looking bases, less of the same looking troops, a more colorful game, be miles ahead of other clash-games, and lots more.
There aren't many disadvantages that i could think of aside that it would be a major update and probably a lot of work. But on the bright side it is basically recycling the original sprites and templates so that saves a lot of work. Implementing each race would be the hardest part of course.
Some players may disagree with the option to choose a race. But in all fairness it doesn't affect the gameplay, if a player would like to continue the game the way it is he could always not choose any race and play with the default Humans.

They’ve already destroyed and plundered the villages of our goblin brothers. We cannot wait any longer, we have to act now and drive those pale skinned sheep back to where they belong. Let them feel the wrath of an orcish army!"

We must intervene before it's too late!
"What is this war they are fighting? Dark elixir is flowing into our seas, they are polluting not only the earth and the skies but also the oceans now. This cannot continue any further, all life as we know it is at stake. We shall travel to the surface and settle us on land, from there we have to take all measures how extreme they might be to end this madness."
