Hydra (bringin 'er back)

[Seraph_Knight]

Hydra

Health: 60
Armor: 0
Power: 10
Movement: 3
Range: 1
Blocking: 20%
Recovery:
Attacks- 2
Moves- 1
Both- 3

Special: Every time the Hydra losses 1/3 of its health it gains another head. Meaning it gets an attack for every head it has effectivly adding 10 power.

Example:
A hydra at 60-41 health has 1 head, 1 attack
A hydra at 40-21 health has 2 heads, 2 attacks
A hydra at 20-1 health has 3 heads, 3 attacks
Note- All of the attacks are on the same unit, if that unit dies before the hydra uses all of its attacks, the hydra can attack a unit to either side of the unit killed.

Example: Code- H=Hydra 0=Empty Space D=killed unit
X=attackable space

OOX
OHD
OOX

If a hyda has multiple heads and is then healed to an area where it would have less heads then its current amount, 1 head will die/dissapear to prevent people from giving their hydra 3 heads then healing it back to full health.

its alittle complex but is original :bigsmile:

[Seraph_Knight]

think I should kill the whole "attacks another unit if the first one dies and the hydra still has attacks" thing?

It better be original, I made it like a year ago :P

[Mithrandir]

Hey, this is really nice for a new unit designer, good job. Surprisingly original and it kind of fits the mythical creature.

Edit: I just noticed your join date, so maybe you aren't a noob. Still a good unit though.

[Seraph_Knight]

I had a thread of units a while ago, and this seemed to be the most popular unit in it.

[Serge]

Yeah, I remember this, are the three attacks blocked independently of each other?

[Seraph_Knight]

Yes, because if the hydra has the potenial to attack multiple units, each attack should be treated seperatly right?

[Serge]

Good. It balances it very well, as it is only really powerful when attacking from behind with very low HP. If this attacked a Pyro from the front there is a chance that it could kill it in one hit. However, it would have low enough HP that a DSM'd Pyro could kill it, and there is a fair chance that it would block one of the attacks.

Solid unit. If anything, slightly underpowered, you could give it low blocking.

[Seraph_Knight]

I was thinking about giving it mage-level blocking, but getting rid of blocking all together helped balance the power and multiple attacks out. Maybe a longer movment?

[Mithrandir]

I think 20% blocking would be better for a minor adjustment than a movement increase. I'm submitting this for committee consideration by the way.

[Seraph_Knight]

Thanks. I guess I'll edit in the blocking then.

[Serge]

Hmm...movement is really powerful, I'd say it's best to go with the Mage level blocking, possibly DT level.
