Nimbus

The Nimbus tribe is a fan-made tribe created by FestusTheMechWing(me) and is my property, you can use it publicly, but if you are using it publicly then you must ask me and credit me otherwise I will shave your kneecaps off.

## Info

Legend has it that while the Aethion had near full control of the Cloudlands, there was one tribe that dared to oppose them. They are known as the Nimbus and live on the Thunderhead Cloudlands up north. The Nimbus offer a unique gameplay such as summoning lightning and tornados that wreak havoc across the Square and the Cloudlands alike, but their unpredictability can make them a tough opponent. Never play against them on Crazy mode for they will summon so many tornados that your kingdom will be utterly destroyed.

The Nimbus's colour is #00b3b3 and they wear black helmets with pale blue horns curving back around their head and bright blue and white war paint.

## Gameplay

As said before, the Nimbus have some weather-bending abilities but they can do as much damage to the Nimbus themselves as well as their enemies.

The Nimbus have many new units and a modified tech tree.

## Units

As you should know by now, the Nimbus have a whole bunch of new units with new abilities and stats, so let's dive right in!

## Strategy

### Buildings

#### Stormcatcher

The Stormcatcher is a powerful building that uses the power of the storm to create stars. Every fourth turn, the Stormcatcher grants 3 stars and lightning appears to strike it, dealing 2 damage to any enemy unit within 2 tiles. If a lightning strike has been caused by an allied unit within 2 tiles of your Stormcatcher, then you instantly get 3 stars.

#### Storm Temple

Storm Temples can only be built on plains, and act as different versions of regular Temples. The only different rule is if lightning strikes within 2 tiles of the temple, all adjacent enemy units to that temple take 2 damage.

#### Cloud Temple

Cloud Temples can only be built on mountains but otherwise has the same rules as the Storm Temple. If lightning strikes within 1 tile of the temple, all enemy units within 3 tiles of the temple take 1 damage.

#### Thunder Temple

Thunder Temples can only be built on Forests but otherwise has the similar rules to the Storm and Cloud Temples. If lightning strikes within 2 tiles of the temple, all enemy units within 2 tiles of the temple take 1 damage.

#### Lightning Rod

Lightning Rods can only be built next to Stormcatchers and for each Lightning Rod adjacent to a Stormcatcher reduces that Stormcatcher's turns-till-stars by 1, so if 1 Lightning Rod was next to a Stormcatcher then it would be 3 stars every 3 turns, and in addition, when a lightning strike happens within range of the Stormcatcher by an allied unit then it gains an extra star for each Lightning Rod adjacent.\

### Skills

#### Thundery

When this unit makes two attacks against the same enemy unit, on its third attack it instead makes lightning strike on the tile where that unit is. It deal 5 damage to the target unit on that tile and 2 damage to each enemy unit adjacent to the target unit.

#### Stormy Death

When this unit dies, all enemy units around it take 2 damage.

#### Tower

This unit cannot move. It is placed on a tile that is either inside the territory of the tribe or on a tile adjacent to a Storm Wraith that is not inside enemy territory.

#### Soul Monger

A unit with the Soul Monger skill turns the enemy units it defeats into the minion unit of that tribe. For example, the Storm Wraith turns enemy units into Stormlings when it defeats them.

## Tribe Skins

### Sparkling

Sparking with electrical power, the Sparkling cults are a subsection of the Nimbus tribe that uses the lightning power of the tribe to the fullest, even at the expense of their own lives. They wear pale blue hoods with bright blue robes, with a small golden crown visible from under their hoods with a gemstone the colour of the Nimbus tribe. Swords are replaced with lightning bolts, as are arrows. Bows are shaped like golden harps strung with electricity.

### Hurricania

Obsessed with the power of Cyclones and Tornados, the Hurricania legions are a subsection of the Nimbus tribe that uses the windy power of the tribe to further their own ends and control the entire Square and all above and below. They wear silver armour and black swords and spears, with cloaks that wave like the wind and a the white of clouds. Their bows are replaced with small staffs that shoot wind.

### Storminus

The Storminus hold the legislative power of the Nimbus, granting protection from their feared scythes. When a Storminus uses their electrical power, the wind swirls and thunder rumbles. The Storminus wear dark grey armour and all their metal is tinged blue, with crackling lightning.
