Story:

Often referred to as simple peaceful giants they have become almost extinct, although never seen to age (regenerate) and possibly older than Elveron itself they are so rare it is usually deemed lucky to have spotted one high up in the mountains or ice caves. Because of their simple nature and gentle demeanour they have been hunted and persecuted for years by vampires, humans,trolls and barbarians and used for manual labour due to their size and great strength like elephants. It is no surprise that they dislike other creatures now and enjoy their recluse life, but just as these friendly giants numbers were starting to increase, war came to Elveron. Races enslaving other races and forests and mountains being toppled and mined. Only a few Cyclops settlements remain and when discovered they will be forced to into either slave labour or put on the battlefield to kill. Their ancient magic cannot save them, peace is impossible. This is their last stand for freedom, it is the only home they have left and they will fight for it.

What has nobody else done? Lets do that but different :)

heavily based on trolls so they can be removed and these guys take their place in good alignment

at the bottom of the race suggestions forums there is a thread for requests

a few wanted a good version of troll, and a way of investing gold.
the rune, timeweaver price should be balanced based on 6g = 1 diamond = 150 imps

it is the only big change really
scrapped the need for extra farms and secondary resource cost for balancing, but made them less efficient but with less casualties

easy race to play
good imp/burst imp potential

unique attacking spell

I like: Genocide Purge, lots of funny potential in XP play.
Hmm, also has potential to be a powerful cannon where in suicide mode for land play.

I'm still racking over how timeweaver should be played 'correctly'.
what if it has 1atk, muses..
