Ideas Need for the Sheep Race!

I'm making a mini-race of sheeps, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or comments about what I have so far. It may become a campaign one day, but I can only hope... Anyways, here are the units I have so far,

Raging Ram- Default Melee unit

Lullaby Lamb- Spellcaster

Magical Mutton- Advanced Spellcaster

Chaos Sheep- Heavy Melee unit

Poisoned Sheep- Siege unit

Uber Sheep- Flying attack unit

Super Sheep- Undecided (Probably Melee Spellcaster)

Shepard- Spellcaster that can transform

That's what I have now, so I mainly need an idea for a worker and another flying unit maybe, and maybe even a hero :)

woah i'm just wondering if you're well feeling all right, i mean no offense but a sheep race? is this realistically gonna get done? though i must admit it's funny, but how r u gonna model these sheep, obviously you can't keep on using the same sheep model...

Huh... that's all very nice, but what about models? For the units and the buildings? I don't think you'll have enough models for a sheep race... perhaps... a critter race?

...
HEY! Don't look at me like that!

i think in you're old age, you're getting a bit jumpy sanatanas...

and metal he's right, not enough buildings or units and not enough for a criter race either, e.g. what's a chicken gonna do peck you to death? or provide a low caloie supplement for tauren, erhm.. beef

Well, for your information, I have 5 sheep models, and with a fwew edits the farm doodads will make nice editions :) No, this isn't serious of course, it's just something to pass the time, I get bored easily :P And as for the chickens, you will be able to build a chicken coop which spawns chickens, and chickens are your food :)

So... No ideas then?

Yeah, I've been using that campaign as a referance for some of my ideas, it was ok,but it just wasn't complete for me, so I'm making my own race :) Here's some buildings I'l be using,

Grain Crate- These simple crates act as a blocker for enemy units, cheap and quick to build. You can replae the default grain with diseased grain by researching the plague ability, this gives your crates a disease cloud that damages enemies.

Barn- Town Hall, trains workers

Shearer's Shack- Trains Shepards and Sheep Shearers

I'l try to think of more later, I'm making some sheep models right now :)

Nuclear Sheep-Explodes On Command
Radiocative Sheep-Has Immolation
Mutated Sheep-Can Fly For + Speed Or Walk For + Damage

Hmm, Radioactive wouldn't be a bad idea, I like the immolation thing, but he needs a new name. I have a poisoned sheep (the result of the tainted grain outbreak :P) But I'm looking for another siege unit. That might just do it :)

I don't understand the concept of your so called "sheep race". Have you ever played any horseracing games? Or better yet, the Chocobo racing mini game in FF7? Well, if I were to design something of an animal race, I would do it like that. For example, you get like 5 carrots, you feed a carrot for a speed boost. Maybe put power ups along the course like in Mario Kart. Anyway, thats my idea of what a race would be. (Why would you need buildings? Sounds like a melee map.)

LOL, i thought you ment like race as in race cars or race horse. Racing sheep sounds like a good game. But a sheep race ?! Ok, sorry.

Nice idea for the sheep race, why not try making it confont the mad boar(pig) race
-goblin sheep (green colour or something) that can kaboom
-sheep enforcer - large bulky sheep that walks on two legs and has heavy armor and some insane weapons.
-sheep avenger - sheep that seeing his dead kindred gains strenght to fight the opresors (using raise dead spell that incrs. attack.)
-sheep herbalist - healer ?!?
Anyhow here are my 4 sugestions, have fun
