chain ward

[yall are ded]

Name:Chain Ward
The skilled and cunning armies used this weapon to defeat reckless enemies of destruction. The weapons stone has magical power to when struck seek the nearest targets and subdue them with chains. One has also told off a mysterious reaction with another stone.
Hp:40
Armor:--
Recovery;(see special)
Movement:0
Attack: (see special)
Blocking: 100% front and sides(not back)

Special:
1)(chain restraint)this units ability is activated when it is attacked by any unit and only if damage is caused. This ability may only be used twice. This unit sends 3 chains in the 3 directions like so until it hits a unit or the edge of the arena:
1=chain 1
2=chain 2
3=chain 3
C=chain ward
1xxx2xxx2
x1xx2xx3x
xx1x2x3xx
xxx123xxx
xxxxCxxxx
Every unit the chain hits the units are "pulled" next to the chain ward like so:
a=unit hit by chain 1
b=unit hit by chain 2
c=unit hit by chain 3
C=chain ward

All units that are chained become chained units. (i.e. You chain a scout it becomes a "chained scout.)"Every unit chained has a a gain of 40 armor and -2 movement and may not attack. when a chained unit moves 4 spaces away from the chain ward the chain breaks and the unit goes back to normal.This is not a focus ability. Chained units may not move behind the chain ward like so :
The unit may not move into the teritory marked "o"
y=chained unit
C=chain ward
x= empty space

2) Special reaction with barrier ward.(chain bariier)This ability is not affected by LOS When the barrier ward casts a barrier on the chain ward the chain wards stone disrupts the barrier and sends chains to hit your two closest units with 2 barriers. At this time the barrier ward must remain in focus but the chain ward must be attacked twice to break the chains and lose focus. The two barriered unit must be below 15 health. If there are more than 2 units the same number of spaces away with less than 15 hp. The one with ;ess hp is chosen and if they are all tied the affect DOES NOT ACTIVATE

Well what do you think. It is a versitile unit with 2 powers to protect. Chaining (chain restraint)units allows a buying of time to salavage your units or attack your opponents. While chaining your own units(with barrier chain) allow an period of time where you can out last your opponent at the right time when you need defense.

Is he crazy? I understand encouragement and all, but constructive criticism would be better. It is an interesting idea, complicated, and original, but when you get down into it, it's an unfocusing frost golem that doesn't aim well or move (as far as the first ability goes). It has low hp, but 100% blocking from the front and sides, all of the time, which is very good as far as defense goes. It can effectively paralyze units, since nobody's going to waste four game turns getting their knight out through movement.

It could be destroyed by two dark magic witch shots, three pyromancer blasts, a pyro and a lightning ward, two knight attacks, or a knight and scout attack from behind, but who is going to have the right units in place to do that? It might keep the units fairly protected, but what does that matter when the rest of your force is caught without their help? The only way to effectively battle it is to keep it from getting your units, and that would keep them on the defensive fairly well.

The second ability is also annoying to consider. And what if the Chain Ward had less than 15 hp?

I think that you really need to hear something that Xerent told me once.

How about just having the chain ward shoot a chain as an attack? Much simpler, not a super-mega-power-window-candy-sugar-candy-candy-hyper-giga-ultimate-explosion-thing. The chain would do the same thing as the three chains, of course.

My coments in blueIs he crazy? I understand encouragement and all, but constructive criticism would be better.

It has low hp, but 100% blocking from the front and sides, all of the time, which is very good as far as defense goes. It can effectively paralyze units, since nobody's going to waste four game turns getting their knight out through movement. Only way is stay out of its range making it a protection beast

It could be destroyed by two dark magic witch shots, three pyromancer blasts, a pyro and a lightning ward, two knight attacks, or a knight and scout attack from behind, but who is going to have the right units in place to do that? Hey thats regular unit weakness which alot of real units need isn't it It might keep the units fairly protected, but what does that matter when the rest of your force is caught without their help? I meant to say that chaining your own units would only be effective in the endgame where, if you have your cleric, you can heal yourself back without fear of to much damage meanwhile moving closer and closer to freedom(great idea for knights) The only way to effectively battle it is to keep it from getting your units, and that would keep them on the defensive fairly well.Exactly

The second ability is also annoying to consider. And what if the Chain Ward had less than 15 hp?It can't shoot chains at itself that seems highly impossible doesnt it. I mean a scout cant shoot at itself. I said this ability was affected be LOS i believe.
