[WOM 1.4 - Tarthans Unique]

from Elemental Forums

Make the tarthans unique by giving them access to an Expert Spell Book: Nature at game start. Other races can access this book but they need to research it: Expert Spell Books > Nature. Program the AI to use this spell book in battle.

Nature refers to magic that allows you to call upon the creatures of the forest.

'Yer ah Druid 'Arry!' O:)

Druids or Rangers I guess? Green Peace faction? I'd be more motivated to save the rainforests if Smokey Bear was breathing down my neck.

All jesting aside, I do like it thematicly- and it looks like its more fleshed out in your nature book thread with even more cool stuff.

Would the High Grass also boost that units dodge vs. attacks targeting them?

I always think of Tarth as a hunter-bandit society. I think that a little tweak like this could prove useful. They should have natural abilities too though, like backstab, expert archers, ambush, and whathaveyou.
