New Teams/Character Ideas

[TheGreatErenan]

I think the Undead and Insect/Critters teams are great ideas, though I would suggest that the Undead need not necessarily be undead. I'm imagining little cartoon devil guys with pitchforks for the soldiers. Then, you could keep the bats, maybe throw in little one eyed demon monsters for the snipers, big lava guys for the heavies. Not sure about the medics... Maybe a little too "scary" or "dark" for Outwitters? Not sure.

My idea is for sort of a jungle/temple theme:

Runner: Monkey
Soldier: Little guy with oversized tiki mask and spear (spear to match the persistent design for other teams' soldiers and fairly cartoony so as not to look too human)
Medic: Shaman (again, wearing a mask or something and cartoony so as not to look too human) <--- not super sure about this one
Sniper: Stone Golem (has a big red eye on it that shoots lasers, again in keeping with existing sniper designs)
Heavy: Gorilla
Special: Golden Idol Statue (moves three spaces, maybe four, cannot attack)
Ideas for Special Behavior:

• Passive Version: Adjacent friendly units are automatically healed one point at the end of that player's turn. Does not heal the base, obviously. I'm really unsure how useful this unit would be.
• Active Version: Use a wit to heal multiple units within range one point.
  

Not really sure how useful a unit like that would be.

Maps would be jungle or temple themed. Think of the opening to Raiders of the Lost Ark. This might be too similar in feel to the Veggienauts maps.
