Summons a geyser-like water blast in all squares 4 spaces away from him. Looks like a witch's dark magic blast.

HP: 28
Armor: 0
Power: 20
Movement Range: 2
Recovery: 3
Blocking: 30% (I knew I'd forgotten something)

+Unblockable

Strategy: A very erratic unit, the hydrostriker's usefulness in a game will vary depending on how it plays out, and the opponent's formation. It can be advantageous attacking from within a "turtle formation," as the attacks behind it will hit off the side of the board. My only concern is that it will strenghten defensive formations further (already preferred because of the stoney/frosty), and I believe that we should move away from these.

Post your thoughts and comments. Thanks.

Its a weaker DMW. It has 4 less attack and 1 less movement. And it has no blocking according to its stats. Its underpowered.

yea basically it is a weak dmw--there is nothing new other than the graphics--maybe if you only have it attack 3 forward but up its blocking and up its movement or something--just an idea

I think he meant that the 4 panel attack went in all 4 directions.

When I orginally read this I was thinking you meant an attack like this: &=Unit; *=Attacked Space; 0=Non-Attacked Space

0000*0000
000*0*000
00*000*00
0*00000*0
*000&000*
0*00000*0
00*000*00
000*0*000
0000*0000

Anyways, that was just my original take on it, which would make the unit more unique and interesting at the same time, instead of so similar to a DMW.

Hehe, thanks to all who had faith in my basic intelligence... yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for typing up the code Jazierel. I wouldve done it, but I had to go. 5 posts already, that's much more than I expected. By about 5. I'm very proud of you all. *applauds*

I wish I got responses on my thread, only one, and two bumps from me.:(

*sigh* Well, I didnt want to bump this so soon... but then again, I don't want it to fade into oblivion either. So the conclusion is... bump! Or "bizzump," as some person said. I thought it sounded pretty funny.

Off to dig up that ninja thread, since I think it's better than any of the ones being posted nowadays.
