Castoroides Faction (Giant Beavers)
I don't know what sorts of plans you have for other factions but how about Castoroides? The extinct mega-beavers could be fun to play. Bigger than normal beavers, they could carry more per trip and generate more power in their beaver hamster wheels, but they could need more water, and food and need bigger housing per beaver. It could be sort of a fun way to play a faction with fewer total beavers that still gets things done.
(Maybe add some hostile animals to the game too? You might have to chase them off from certain areas and castoroides would be better at it... I'm thinking sort of the Gaia mobs in Age of Empires sort of thing... a predator that generates on the map that you can avoid but that eventually you have to deal with to get to certain areas. (Fisher cats, coyotes, hawks eating baby beavers- you could clear out their nests... not a heavy combat thing, just something you have to clear up on the map).

TheGreatJeffonceBig beavers are a good idea.

Helianthemum MergedThe inspiration for this idea comes from the giant prehistoric beavers of which we find fossilized remains.
The idea would be that these beavers require more food and water than regular beavers, which would add an extra layer of challenge to the game, while the payoff is that they are faster and more efficient at working thanks to their greater strength and they would have access to a species of bigger trees (sequoias or something of the sort). -

Helianthemum the Übernerd MergedThe idea comes from the giant prehistoric beavers of which we find fossilized remains.
The main game mechanic of the faction would be that each of these giant beavers consumes much more food and water than a regular beaver, but the tradeoff is that they work faster and more efficiently thanks to their greater strength and they would have access to giant trees like sequoias or something of the sort.
This would make for a high stakes-high reward type of gameplay that is different from what we currently have and would be much appreciated by experienced players looking for a challenge. -
