Anyone have any ideas for another word for the term "unit".
Originally I was using the word "Creatures", however my game has humans as well. So "Creatures" does not make 100% sense.
The context of the usage would be: "You summon X 'units' into battle."
So rather than 'units', I'm looking for another word... A better one.
assuming it is "singular" things, it could be "individuals", "beings", "combatants", or "participants"?
Maybe... followers, minions, sycophants, or this kind of words?
Or... fighters, helpers, guards?

Hmm... I like both "Followers" and "Minions". Not sure which is better. "Followers" sound more religious and "Minions" sounds more like combatants/creatures. Both terms are interesting. I'll have to think about the two...
