I created concept art for a new tribe in the turn-based strategy game Battle of Polytopia.
NECROPES TRIBE
The spooky Necropes are a special group of undead polytopians who excel at scaring off their enemies!
Warrior zombies are cheap and plentiful in the polytopalypse, and they will stop at nothing to infect their enemies.

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS
WARRIOR
Necropes starting unit. Good for exploration and basic combat.
Special ability: If the enemy unit has less than 3 health, the zombie warrior infects the enemy, which has a 15% chance of being converted to a Necrope zombie unit.
ARCHER
Weakens units from a distance. Good for ranged combat, but weak to melee attacks.
SPIDER RIDER
Special ability: “Web” enemies, causing them slowdown for one turn.
DRACOLICH
This is the Necropes Super Unit. It excels at clearing large groups of enemies. Dracolich starts as a baby egg and grows after 3 turns.
NECROMANCER
This unit replaces the "mind bender". The unit uses black magic to convert enemies into zombies and revive adjacent units.
VAMPIRE
This unit has a special weapon! If a bat is available in a city tile (and hasn't been hunted), the vampire can summon the bat to inflict an extra 2 points of damage.
GRIM REAPER
This unit replaces the swordsman. If the unit has full health, and the enemy has less than half its health, the Grim Reaper can inflict "terror", which causes the enemy to retreat from the battlefield.
