I really like the lupine and goatkin options that are coming. I’ve suggested insectoids before, but here some new ones:

Ursine (bear)
Primate (apes)
Ikthians (fish)

I would expect color schemes for bears ranging from black, brown, white, and panda.

Fish could be versatile like lizards are, with great white, hammerhead, angler fish, eel, etc. options for face/head.

Add a heavy water-focused tome with them (Nature/Dark or Nature/Materium). Something that melts ice without fire, or drenches a target with Wet. Possibly add some kind of Slippery terrain status that would reduce movement. Even a straight up Deluge spell that just does physical damage.

We could go very granular with a race for almost every anthropomorphic option... Or we could just lump them up and make the "mammal" race.

Just like the lizards (or the fishes) a static furry body and a different set of heads and "hair" option to basically represent most of the beloved mammals (from bear to raccoon, from rabbit to badger).

I would very much prefer a more granular approach, but we all know this game isn't going to be infinite, so this could be a good option for a "final" DLC to make most people happy, giving them tons of options without having to make 6 or so new forms

#

Other than that, as singular forms I would suggest:

  • rabbit people (some traits that lowers upkeep or recruiting costs?)
  • elephant people (some trait that makes them big, cost more and have higher stats but prevent the use of mounted units?)
  • horse people (idk, maybe at that point let's do a centaur thing, but it could be a transformation like the nagas)
  • squid people (debuff that makes them hard to hit if they hit first? As in the ink they spew)
  • turtle people (extra defence if they didn't move this turn)
  • plasmoid people (maybe something like they get random light buffs depending on some situation or randomly, as in they are formless ... But it's also a cool transformation)

Ugh, don't you dare to provoke my inner furry.

Insect people have been requested a few times. Personally, I want something tentacle-y, either like D&D style mind flayers or the Morgawr from Endless Legend.

Efreet or Genie people would be nice and original imo.

I love that idea.

i thought their AoW:SM nomads were suprisingly inspired, having that be a culture could fit well, however they used a lot of those nomad units in the mystic culture. with the outfits and unit look.

Genie/Efreet idea sounds like a cool thing for a Major Transformations tbh

Yeah probably.

terse parcel

A Tier V Arcane&Chaos Tome -> Efreet Major Transformation

A Tier V Arcane&Order Tome -> Genie Major Transformation

So we get both of them.

Would be nice to get Sahuagin or Kappas as another aquatic race, or even Cyclopses as another humanoid race.

dont think cyclopses will be popular lol

I think Eldritch Realms is going to introduce some sort of 'Not-Mindflayer' form
