But after the Reckoning, when most Elves and Dwarves fled to Axeoth, the Halflings reclaimed their homeland...

1. FEATURES
Before you ask - no, there are no new creatures.
It's just a custom script introducing:- 17 new heroes (replacing Rampart heroes)
- Mystic Pond produces 3-6 Rocs a week
- Rampart creatures replaced by
Pixies > Sprites
Halflings > Rogues
Gold Golems > Diamond Golems
Sharpshooters > Lava Sharpshooters
Dendroid Guards > Dendroid Soldiers
Sorceresses > Enchanters
"Hatchlings" > Faerie Dragons
Notes:
- all the creatures count as Rampart troops
- Halflings are level 2 with stats similar to those of Archers
- the speed of Gold and Diamond Golems nerfed from 5 and 6 to 3 and 4
- "Hatchlings" are Faerie Dragons with halved health and cost
- left-click the Upgraded Dragon Cliffs to upgrade "Hatchlings" to Faeries (I will probably change this in the update)
- if the Homestead is pre-built, the player gets 7 Golems... but on the other hand, no hero starts with level 3 creatures
- I haven't adjusted external dwellings in this version, but there is a hero who upgrades Dwarves and Wood Elves to Lava Sharpshooters (I'll probably change it in the next update)
- Rocs can be recruited for free in the Mystic Pond, but building the Fountain of Fortune disables this option (I might change this though)
Obviously, I haven't tested the balance of this lineup and could use some advice here. In other words, what creature stats should be modified? Feel free to post your suggestions in this thread!
