Name: Minotaur
HP: 60
Blocking Percentage: 25 % head up, 10 %from sides...they can block with their axe
Armor: None
Power: 34
Range: 1
Block: None
Movement: Three units in a straight line, or two units when he turns
Wait: 2 turns after attack and move, one turn after just movement or just an attack...Minotuars charge so they can run forwords a long ways

Description: Minotaurs are tank-like creatures with excellent endurance. They fight with a heavy axe which they swing violently at their opponent inflicting intense pain. They are pure brutes who choose to fight without armor because they feel they find no honor without dieing in battle.

Stragety: Minotaurs are heavy damagers, they can be used in various ways, but mainly for protection. They don't have any armor so putting them in the thick of battle may result in a quick death. Great for one on one unit battles.

Look: It has a huge snout...It stands on two legs and holds a two handed axe...When it attacks it tomahawks the axe from behind it's head into the opponent...When it blocks it just sticks the axe in front of the weapon...It stands on two legs and has two horns...like a bull..it kinda looks like a bull except not

Anything else I need to add? He seems a tad strong, what do you think..I'm thinking about adding three turns to the wait

I like it, but as you said, maybe a little less power. The nor armor thing seems to even it out a bit. Any plans for it's blocking percentages?

I think you mixed up armor with blocking percentage, then forgot to add armor ;)

Anyway, as a reminder, blocking percentage is half of what it is from frontal shots (e.g. 60, 30| 80, 40)

34 power is clearly an attempt at a joke. the movement is too complicated to be implemented, and the blocking is, as devast said, always half at the sides.

and personally its far too boring. just a knight with different stats.

How is thirty four power an attempt at a joke? It can only move two spaces and has too wait a turn after it does that. The three spaces thing isn't a bad idea if it can be implemented, it's new but not too crazy to change the game drastically. It's very evened out with 0 armor, and blocking percentages are rounded down if you haven't read the rules jackass!!!

34 power is a joke because it is far too high. it has 60 life so it can quite easily charge straight into an enemy army (3 movement actually), dispatch a key unit or 2 in single hits (barrier stopping it from dying) and walk out again. the movement thing isnt so much unfeasable as just utterly pointless.
finally, if the blocking were rounded down it would be 25/12, not 25/10. you dont round things to the nearest 10.
and please try not to insult people just coz they dont like your little unit. freedom of speech is still around i hear. if all you want is people lavishing praise on you then go make your own little website and program it to do just that, if you want to hear peoples opinions, then hear them as opposed to wwhining whenever someone criticises you.

Minotaur:

Power: 26
Health: 60
Armor: 0
Blocking: 30%(15% on sides)(So its not a sitting duck, and still, 2nd lowest blocking percentage)

With your added abilities, also add that is doesn't move aside for friendly units.

34 power is a little much, so sacrificing 8 power for 5% added blocking is a nice trade. Considering with 30% more armor would make it even more of a power-house. But as Walrus said, its a little boring. Maybe add like a "Charge" feature to it. Since thats what comes to mind when people bring up hooved units. But then again, you'll have to sacrifice an attribute to add that.

Look at it this way...when u face one of the mods with 4 dragons and 2 DSM that have enough power to kill anything in 1 hit (except a dragon, it brings it down to one)...there not joking...So they have, realativly, 75 power...thats no joke, thats true
