Dark Troop Idea: Shieldmaiden
Side note: Think of this troop as a combination between a barbarian and an archer, strength of a barbarian and speed of an archer, but still fragil in hit points (she's a petite warrior covered in armor)....
Troop Name: Shieldmaiden
Description: The shieldmaiden is an experienced
female warrior known for surviving the roughest
battles among the men. She wields her
ball-and-chain (meteor hammer) weapon in a
360-degree spinning fashion, furiously over her
head, attacking enemies all around her.

Concept Image Idea (taken from http://eternalhunt.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/hodgepodge/)
The weapon and armor are mainly on-point to the idea but on a female with a helmet, and same exposed rib-cage body armor decor. The weapon and armor will change in color and spikes through various levels. Below is more of a max level troop with a enlongated "ball" on chain and with spikes on the chain. the color of the spikes on the ball and chain would also be gold at this point; as well as the color of the spikes on the armor. I also like to maintain the "chains" theme embeded on the armor as a chain goes across the chest. Perhaps molten lava can be exposed on the end of the ball on the maxed version of the troop a well!
