the cave creature crippler

[allstarGL]

Disgusting little creature that lives in caves. It uses it's spit which is very toxic to cripple attackers and run away from danger.

hp-40

blocking-none

recovery time-5 weither it is moved or not.

movement-2

attack-this units attack is a ranged attack. He has the shooting area of an archer exept it works like a ga's attack as it can go over/threw anything. It's attack is complex. It picks one target in which to cripple for 3 turns. A crippled unit can not attack and its movement is reduced in half unless the units movement is already at 1 in which case it can still move one.This is not a focus attack and the spell is permanent for the 3 turns weither you hit the crippler or not.units that are crippled are still able to block.

tactics-this would be used in a turtle and would be effective in neutralizing one of you opponents ranged units to save your cleric. It could also make it so if you got rushed and a ga was sitting right in your face you would be able to cripple it and kill it before it had the chance to nail you cleric if you got first move. If your opponent did get first move you could cripple another unit that was sitting there waiting to finish off your cleric like a mud golem and buy you some time to manage to save your cleric. This unit would also be a good end game unit for obvious reasons. If your opponent only had a couple attacking units left they would not be able to use one of their attacking units on you.


-im new to creating units so I expect there will be some flaws in my creation. I also realize that units similar to this have been made but I have read some of them and I don't think they are quite the same or have quite the same effect I wish this unit to have.Remember this is my first unit so be kind :bigsmile:

Just because the furgon was named after a Legends player, it doesn't mean the next one is going to be named after you, allstar.

OK ouch! but now can you give me some input on my unit?

Well, it's basically far too underpowered. It deals 0 damage, has 5 recovery, and doesn't even have a great effect on the enemy unit. It just doesn't warrant a unit space in any formation, even as support. If you're facing a rush, there are always other units to attack with while your crippled unit recovers.

Hopefully you realise my first post was a joke. :)

I think used in a turtle well it could be a very useful unit against rushes seeing as its range is very good. I was thinking it would actually be too over powered because It has the ability to be in the very back and just cripple units coming to attack. My first thoughts were to give it 50 hp and 3 recovery time if not moved but I think the 50 hp would mean you would get massacred coming in to try and take out the crippler and the 3 recovery time would mean you could just constantly keep crippleing a unit not letting it go.

Of all the times to be unable to rep someone.:bigsmile:

Let's put it this way: I'd only use this unit if my opponent was stupid enough to leave 1 or 2 two separated from the rest of his formation. Everything else will be coming at you so fast in a rush that you won't have time to kill the unit you crippled.

Also, the name really is quite awful. :)

well most rushes are like that. an archer and ga on one side. muddy and archer on other throw a wisp in there sometime. and obviously only range units are what your really worried about when you have a good defensive turtle. I think this unit would own rushes with a LW and frostie combo.

[The Exile]

But I reiterate that when all the enemy units are same-side (like most antis or other turtles), there simply isn't time to deal with the crippled unit.

Having said that, imagine a wisp, frost and this playing a 4-damage-unit turtle. Have you ever tried playing 3 frosts with a 4-damage-unit turtle? This would be on a par to that... :dry:

It's either too powerful or too weak depending on what formation you're playing. Remember what happened last time a unit like that was released? :dry:

Exile is right -gasp- lol :)

This unit really has no potential, as the GA is the only real unit you could use this on. Scouts, with 4 movement, can evade your units whether you use this or not. And in all honesty, I've won many games without my Cleric (damn GA's). Not saying it's easy, but... this really isn't going to do much about it.
