Hero Academy Introduces 3rd Team Next Week

I don't know how many of you picked up the game Hero Academy for the iOS a while back, but for those out there who did Robot Entertainment has some exciting news, there's going to be a third team coming out next week, and its going to be the Dwarves. Now I'm sure, if you play this game, you're wondering what type of units are going to be available, well let's have a look shall we?

PALADIN

(Class: Fighter) - Holy warrior who can heal and revive allies, healing herself in the process.

GRENADIER

(Class: Caster) - Lobs molotovs over enemies for AOE damage. Weak melee attack.

ANNIHILATOR

(Class: Super Unit) - Deals heavy damage with AOE knockback. Direct hits weaken physical defenses.

GUNNER

(Class: Shooter) - Shooter who deals high damage to a nearby enemy. AOE damage at range.

ENGINEER

(Class: Support) - Shields a single ally/crystal. Higher bonus from premium squares.

There's also going to be a new map that you'll be able to use, even if you don't get the new classes. Now I have to say that although the hype of this game, or what I wanted out of this game, was pretty high, since release, my matches have dwindled to 1 match. Now of course there was one match that I won over the Community Manager, that I would have liked to have initiated a rematch against, but with so many people probably swamping him, I didn't choose to do so, but I think at the end of the day, this game isn't completely there. The third class will definitely help, and I think the rumored fourth class will practically seal the deal, but I think for this game to just be utterly amazing there needs to be a bot mode, something that will allow you to try out new strategies, and be able to play a quick game instead of one that you make a move and then 14 days later you're still waiting for your opponent.
