Sand Golem

[Al Caponeoni]

Sand Golem is the name of the unit, and here is an identical unit page just like the ones on this site:

-------------------------------------------------------

~Sand Golem~ (Golem Unit) /Rare\

Stalking deserts throught the land for prey, the sand golem can easily evade attacks and kill with efficiency. Recently discovered, these creatures are a formidable foe.


HP: 60
Armor: ~
Range of Movement: 4 Spaces
Power: 15
Recovery Rate: 2 turns
Blocking: 90% front, 45% sides
Attack Pattern: May attack one adjacent tile
(like the Knights attack)
special: Teleportation
*Looks: Sand Golems are yellow and grainy, and have a pool of sand at their feat that fades from your team color.*

Tactics: The Sand Golem is a great unit to
draw away and confuse.

Try to keep the Sand Goldem constantly
moving, attacking, and retreating. This unit is
great to move behind enemy lines.

----------------------------------------------------

- My thoughts: I think with the -5 Power reduction, it becomes relatively equal to the Mud Golem, just it is more of a stealthy unit. Too powerful? Suggestions?-

[Jingleheimer]

Typically, side blocking is 50% of front blocking.

So it should be 45% side blocking.

[Al Caponeoni]

I have fixed it, and added a Tactics section.... what do you think?

[buttmonkey]

sounds aight, but maybe the movement down just a tad, it would be hard to stand against such a thing if it just kinda floats off every coupla turns.

[DaRkPuPpEt]

i like your sig buttmonkey:D

[ArcPaladinZero]

I think it's balanced because of the high blocking makes up for the kinda bad attack power.

[Dragcon]

Personally that would be a kick in the pants to face. That is a really great unit though. Although it would be really hard to take it down and would take up alot of the oppenents time.

[abyaly]

how far can it move?

[Cuathon]

how far does it move teleportation just means it can move through units

[Al Caponeoni]

I changed the Movement to 4. I think that 5 would overpower it. Thank you for all of the feedback!

IMHO think it would be a great unit to play with....

*coughcough* attention Seed, Bills.

:D

[Al Caponeoni]

I'm bumping this to get opinions on it other than the positive feedback I have gotten so far.

[Al Caponeoni]

Bump, because this board fills up fast.... :(

I want some opinions, in other words.

[Al Caponeoni]

Alright, I have perfected the unit IMHO, so I would like to see some responses with suggestions.

I really do think this unit would be a great addition to the Units here at TAO.

(If I sound conceited, please kick me in the face)

:D

[Choi]

Nice work Al. :)

[Al Caponeoni]

Hey, thanks! :)

Finnally, someone who gives me an opinion!

I vwant moahre.... moarhe!!! MUAHAHAH!

[Al Caponeoni]

buh buh buh buh buh buh bump.

[abyaly]

if it's going to be a golem unit, it would need to lose the blocking. you could give it some armor instead

[Drunken Dragon]

nah, no one said golems CANT block, just none of them do yet

I think this is an awesome unit Al. One of the better ive seen on the boards yet.

[Al Caponeoni]

Well thank you! Since I've been gone awhile, I'm bumping this thing up!

*bump*

[abyaly]

well i like it. seems balanced and useful. tis a shame greys get so few units..

[Al Caponeoni]

I think that this unit could be a 20:1 Unit drop chance, and it could also give Greys a way to defend themselves from crazy Golds like me! :) Just kidding.

*bump*

[abyaly]

hehe. if someone cant beat them with grey units, they prolly cant with gold ones either :p

[Al Caponeoni]

Yes... true true. :)

Bump!

[Al Caponeoni]

Oh, and I wish all other KOTR members would check this out! :)

[intense]

alright, alright. i think its a good idea, you should check out death.

[Al Caponeoni]

I did. :)

Hmm.... I'm even contemplating sketching this unit, but it would probably just look like the Mud Golem, except yellow and grainy with a pool of sand at it's feat that slowly fade out to team color.

[intense]

how about he can make a spinning sand whirlpool on the ground while focusing, and it does 5-10 damage a turn to all in it, so you could cast it on a group and watch them scatter, like trhe enchantress's attack around him, but doesnt hurt him?

[Al Caponeoni]

Good idea. But that could also be a "Water Golem" (i.e. Whirlpool) Oooohhhh.... another idea!!! :)

[intense]

get on it al.

[Al Caponeoni]

lol

Yeah... I will eventually

:)

But then I'll have to constantly bump TWO threads! :D

[Al Caponeoni]

A bump baby yeah!

[Ri'Orius]

Balance-wise, it seems alright. It might be a bit too powerful, but it seems close enough that playtesting would be necessary to prove either way.

I personally am not a big fan of this unit, as its strength is blocking, also known as the bane of my very existance (well, not really, but it's my least favorite feature of this game), but that's more of a me-being-weird thing than a unit-being-bad thing, you know?

[Al Caponeoni]

Yes, I understand. :)

[Al Caponeoni]

Buhbuhbump

*30 seconds* :)

[Al Caponeoni]

Hey, ho, let's bump!

[abyaly]

you do a lot of bumping :p

[Al Caponeoni]

Sure do!

[iCeMaNN0875]

i like it even though i would never get to use it, but that's ok

[Al Caponeoni]

Well, like I have said before, it could be a Rare Unit drop, so even Gray's could use them if they were lucky! :)

[Al Caponeoni]

Bump

[Al Caponeoni]
