    <p>
      Humans have a good knowlege of mechanics and they know how to
      form stones and wood into forms they like. Their buildings can
      therefore have wellformed shapes and don't have to obey the
      natural forms of the construction materials, but they are also
      very big. Humans are very solicitous about their city's defense.
      That's why they can only build in the near of defensive
      buildings like towers, but that's also a reason for their good
      defense. If an enemy will really knock down their incredible
      good defense and will approach their market place, the town bell
      will be ringed and all workers will come to the market place to
      help defending the city.
    </p>
    
    <p>
      Humans are a very progressive and solicitious people. That's
      why their defense is the best of all races in Aleona. At the
      beginning, their units are pretty bad, but through upgrades
      and research they develop to the most powerfull units.
    </p>
    
    <p>
      Humans are structured in several kingdoms and tribes. The
      two greates and most important are the Talimus Kingdom and
      the Highlanders. They're both settling on the same island of
      Talimus; while the Talimus live in the plains, the
      Highlanders live on the hills. Their border has been formed
      through a bloody and long war, which had come to an end some
      time ago though. They're now living in &quot;peace&quot;.
      The Talimus are the most progressive and strongest kingdom
      of the humans. They have the most knowledge and the biggest
      armies. The Talimus are totally independent of magic since
      they had banished their mages from Talimus a long, long time
      ago. The Highlanders are not so strict and tend more to the
      nature than Talimus. Some of the Humans also became bandits
      which are now scattered all over Aleona lurking for quarry.
      They are sneaky and insidious. To move quickly between one
      place and another, where there's more quarry, they build
      tents instead of billets to accommodate their soldiers,
      which are hired or stolen instead of trained. The bandits
      are only of a pretty small amount though.

    <h5>Units</h5>
    
    <unit>
      <name>Slave</name>
      <description>
        Usual worker unit. Can gather gold and wood, repair mechanical
        buildings and units and build the basic buildings.<br /> 
        
        When the Townbell is rang, he will run to the next market place
        to help defending the city<br />

        The Slave can be upgraded to a Farmer in the Market Place, who
        gathers resources better and can build advanced buildings.<br />

        In relation to the Farmer and the Townsman, the Slave is trained
        pretty fast, because he is bought instead of trained.<br />

    <h5>Resources</h5>
    <p><b>Gold</b></p>
    Gold is gathered by a slave, farmer or townsman, who goes to a gold mine and brings the gold gathered to the Market Place. Gold can be used:
    <ol><li>by slaves, farmers and townsmen to build buildings in combination with wood</li>
      <li>by slaves, farmers and townsmen to repair buildings or mechanical units in combinations with the resources which were needed to create the object</li>
      <li>by Barracks and Market Places to build units  - often in combination with wood</li>
      <li>by Market Places, Weapon Forges, Barracks and Sawmills to research updates - sometimes in combination with wood</li>
    </ol>
    Gold is the most important resource in the game for Humans.
    <p><b>Wood</b></p>
    Wood is also gathered by a slave, farmer or townsman, who chops woods and brings the wood to the Market Place or a Sawmill. Wood can be used:
    <ol><li>by slaves, farmers and townsmen to build buildings in combination with gold</li>
      <li>by slaves, farmers and townsmen to repair buildings or mechanical units in combinations with the resources which were needed to create the object</li>
      <li>by Barracks to build units  - often in combination with gold</li>
      <li>by Market Places, Weapon Forges, Barracks and Sawmills to research updates in combination with gold</li>
    </ol>
    <p><b>Accommodation</b></p>
    Each unit needs one Accommodation unit. Accommodation is a permanent resource,
    which doesn't need to be produced all the time. When a slave, farmer or
    townsman builds a Billet, you have 6 Accommodation more. So when you have 2
    Billets, you have 12 Accommodation. Accommodation is needed to raise your army.
    
    <h5>Subraces of the Humans:</h5>
    <ul>
      <li><h5>Talimus Kingdom (Human)</h5>
        <p>The people at the Talimus kingdom are normal humans in an King
          Arthur style. From all human races they have the best knowledge of mechanics and
          how to build buildings.</p>
        <img src="http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/gamedesigns/freecraft/gfx/thumbnails/sketches/humantownhall.jpg" alt="" />
      </li>
      <li><h5>Highlander</h5>
        <p>The Highlander are as the Talimus humans, they have similar
          buildings skills, but their building style differes. They tend to
          build closer to the nature.</p>
      </li>
      <li><h5>Bandits</h5>
        <p>Bandits are bad humans. Their slaves are stolen, and instead of a market place
          they have a black market. All their units are hired somewhere for fight. Bandits
          live mainly in tents and their building skills are not very good.</p>
