Amazon Nation
The Amazons begin the game with two huntresses.
Jungle Witch: Jungle Witchs are single units that move 2. Jungle Witchs can allow up to 3 Huntresses and/or Huntress Archers to move up to 2 with them (and unlimited Amazon singles). A speed spell cast on a Jungle Witch will double her movement and will also effect those that she is moving with her. It is permissible for her to cast it on herself and carry units up to four spaces. A Jungle Witch can cast a spell called Savagery at the beginning of the Amazons attack phase which will grant up to 3 Huntresses and/or Huntress Archers a bonus of +1 on their attack on the first round. Savagery can only be cast once per battle (per Jungle Witch). Jungle Witches have two normal spells to choose from, which they can cast from the back row with unlimited usage. They may cast a frozen bolt spell which attacks at a 2 or a wind blast which can stun up to 2 units for one combat turn. The wind blast hits at a 2 and is a red spell. Stunned units defend normally, but forfeit their next combat round.
Jungle Witches can become normal druids after they attain 35 XP. So they technically are normal druid without spells and start with negative 35 XP.

This unit can only be purchased in one of those temples (or in the Temple Roots or Unity after the other temples have been built). The Cultivist uses magical powers to create jungle terrain.

The Cultivist can only cultivate plain territories, not forest, mountain or any territories where any city or structure has already been built. The Cultivist can also cast heal spells on any of the Elven treants (twice per battle) or any other allied plant based unit.

If a Rogue infiltrates a city of an enemy they will negate the private conversation privilege that an embassy would normally grant. Furthermore they can attempt to steal money from the city each round. They can steal up to 1 to 6 of any money that has not been spent. They are successful on a roll of 4 or less.

The AoJ can capture an enemy unit and retreat out of battle with it in the air. Units that are captured are suspended off the ground (slightly), but will not be harmed if the AoJ is killed.

The Elementalist must decide how they will allocate their elemental point. Once they are allocated they cannot be reallocated. At level 1 they choose to summon a lessor elemental. At level two they must decide to either be able to summon two lessor elementals (of different types only) or upgrade their existing lessor to a regular elemental (tier 2). Upon reaching level 3 they could upgrade their regular elemental to a greater elemental (If they had a regular elemental) or if they had two lessor elementals they could upgrade one of them to a regular elemental.
