Deku Scrubs (Conquest)

The Deku Tribes are a playable faction in Hyrule: Total War and Termina: Total War. They are unlocked by finishing a Short Campaign as the Kokiri or a Long Campaign as any faction.

Description
Amongst the many verdant forests of Hyrule, one is bound to run into a Deku Scrub. These creatures are many and their appearance as varied as  their habitats. All Deku Scrubs have several things in common though. They are very small, roughly one to two feet in height, they all have some form of flower or flora on their heads, and they are all capable of storing seeds and nuts and firing them out of their iconic snouts as projectiles. Because of their small size and the universal notion that they are pests, Deku Scrubs are looked down upon and, over time, have become a largely aggressive and angry people. Even amongst themselves they often fight, and as a unified empire, they are only held together loosely by a supreme king. Each Deku Tribe usually contributes different things to an overall army should war come to their people. Because of  their loosely aligned nature and wide variety of cultures, a Deku army is   usually composed of many different types of Scrubs. Virtually all Deku units are ranged to a degree, and because of their small size and affinity for the land, they usually have tremendous bonuses when fighting amongst flora. Despite their variety and skill fighting in different landscapes, the small size and selfish nature of each Deku makes them a very weak combatant individually that's more likely to flee than stand and fight. A Deku army must usually keep their distance when fighting, as very few Deku Scrubs are willing to charge into an  enemy force head on. Even though the Deku are fearful creatures, a properly maintained army of their kind can wear down even the toughest of armies from a  distance.

Strengths, Weaknesses and Abilities

 * Eager Fighters: Deku Scrubs are naturally angry and eager for battle. They usually excel at surprise attacks and temporarily scaring an enemy until they realize who their attackers are.
 * Cowards: Deku Scrubs are just as eager to run like pathetic cowards from as fight as they are to charge into a fight head on.

Tech Tree
The Deku Tribe Techtree is largely based on population size. The bigger and better your settlements are, the more you will be able to do with them. Their techtree also introduces the idea of buildings that disable other buildings, identified by being inside a shared yellow border.

Hamlet Level Structures:


 * Vineyard: Rows of fences housing fruit bearing vines from which the Scrubs feed. Provides enough food to support a small Hamlet of Deku Scrubs.
