I'll just add this post to this topic. How about a sports themed faction? It seems all the great armies have been covered so I'm left to improvise. For instance, taking the Magician from the Persian faction, you could incorporate this into the sports theme, using the basketball player, using basketballs instead of the ball thing the magician uses, maybe a spiked ball. Add some football players, in full gear, baseball player units with baseball bats. Buildings would be cool, football stadiums create football players, maybe an indoor arena to create basketball and hockey players, a field to create the baseball players. The workers could be called fans. The goalie would be something like a heavy unit, like the Thor from Norseman, or the turtle formation, a heavily armed unit with some kind of modified goalie stick. You could produce some big offensive linemen who would be something like a firegolem. I'm still thinking of an air unit though. Maybe some of the units are upgraded when researching sports enhancing drugs. I know it could sound comical but it should be a realistic looking faction. You'd also have to research each sport before building the main building for each sport so maybe starting with the warehouse structure(still undecided) and a dugout, which can produce an early defensive or offensive unit until you can start doing research. This would be one faction, using football, baseball, basketball, and hockey players. Other sports could be added so it would be a faction with plenty of buildings, upgrades, and units.
