Trolls
Description
No other race is nearly as ugly as the trolls. It has been said that even goblins are unable to rival the sheer repulsive qualities of a Troll. Despite their large and ugly appearance, trolls do not look particularly threatening or dangerous, and are often thought of as a good-natured race. They have a very powerful regenerative force, which has been the source of many experiments by maniacal wizards seeking immortality. Their natural regeneration has led them to a very brutal form of entertainment, which few other races would even be willing to attempt. This brutal pastime mostly involves bashing each other with large objects or attempting extremely dangerous things such as jumping off a cliff and trying to be the first to hit the ground. Trolls can consume nearly anything, be it rocks, mud or bones. Thick in hide and mind, trolls are the ultimate fighters.
Strengths
Excellent Fighters, above average building, extremely low consumption and very low Mutiny. Trolls are Cannibalistic. Trolls are immune to the Goblin special Pestilence, as well.
Weaknesses
Poor Clerics, Archers, Mages, Assassins and Thieves, extremely bad at covert operations, extremely low food production, very poor Mana generation and the lowest intelligence.
Special Ability
Regeneration - Trolls will always regenerate unless fighting with and losing to Werewolves and Vampires. Trolls are the only race hardy enough to regenerate after raiding enemy kingdoms, including Vampires and Werewolves. Animate Dead or Orcs Necromancy will permenantly kill Troll troops as well.
