“They said the critters were too dangerous to keep around.
They were right.
So we locked them up.”
The Critter Preserve is a fortified zoo designed to safely contain the many wild, strange, and sometimes useless critter units commanders collect over time. Instead of cluttering your unit bar or being permanently dismissed, these creatures are relocated to reinforced cages where they can be… observed.
Each critter is housed in its own heavy enclosure, watched by guards who definitely did not sign up for this job. Some pace. Some sleep. Some stare back at you like they remember every battle you ever sent them into.
The Preserve exists so critters can be kept, shown off, and contained—without constantly getting in the way of actual military operations.
How It Would Work
You could send any eligible unit to the Zoo with a “Retire” button:
The unit leaves the combat bar
Keeps its level and promotions.
Can be recalled later (with a cooldown)
This solves one of the biggest BN problems:
cluttered unitbar
fresh thicket
frail vine
open lantern
compact light
