The Worker
The worker unit, a typical gnome. Ready to mine Anorium from the mines or to cut trees to receive wood. You can recruit more workers in the Keep. One ability of the Worker is to hide in his Keep, enabling the Keep to attack. Another passive perk of the worker is that he decreases the construction time of a building by a certain percentage. Using multiple workers on a construction site will reduce the construction time even more.

The Djinni is a magical range unit. It can be trained in the Floating Gardens (Requires Temple, Elven Enclave). Djinnis have an upgrade that unlocks the ability "Thunderwave". It allows them to deal damage on units in a cone area in front of them and pushes the opponents some meters away.
Depending on the selected role at the beginning of the match, additional upgrades unlock. Those are not listed here. Stay tuned!
