The Bombardier, a person known for their ability to fire cannon-like bullets at their foes from a semi-short distance. Befriending one of these may come in handy one day.

This unit is overpowered. It's a Dark Magic Witch with more HP, Armor, Blocking, and Movement. Its only relative limit is its range.
Also, I don't like the name.
In TAO, the Blocking percentage of a unit from the Front is exactly double the Blocking Percentage of a unit from the Side. This unit does not follow that.
Firing cannon-like bullets does not fit with the theme of TAO.

Psssh, it is more like a GA with mor limited range.
Is the attack blockable?
PS, DIGID. Gun Powder was used in fireworks by the chinese for centuries, it fits.

I don't think cannons were used back in the times of swords, knives, rocks, mud, and arrows. Gun powder was used in sloppy fireworks, but not to the extent of "firing cannon-like bullets" as Innoccence puts it.
I assume it can be blocked because in the game it never states whether it can be blocked or not although it states whether it is unblockable.
Name: Bombardier | Dark Magic Witch | Golem Ambusher
HP: 38 | 28 | 60
Class: Human | Human | Golem
Power: 24 | 24 | 20
Range: 3 | 4 | 4 or 5
Blocking: 30% | 20% | 0%
Movement: 4 | 3 | 2
Recovery: 2 | 3 | 2
Maybe you were joking, but it's obviously more similar to the Dark Magic Witch than the Golem Ambusher.

True, because bombers love Dark Magic Witches and this is a better form of the Dark Magic Witch.
I wonder if it would be a drop unit.

What does this have to do with the Bombardier?
And, please do not post crap.

To prove this unit is not a good one.
This is nothing like the GA. The GA cannot, in one turn, hit a unit one tile away. This unit is only helpless when surrounded. Although I suppose that counts for something...
It's much overpowered, though. That kind of power, flexibility and durability should not go together, although it isn't better than any other unit in every way (the witch's multi-targetting is a slight advantage).

Innoccence, it appears that this ranged unit does not follow LOS. How can fired cannon-like bullets not follow LOS? :huh:

How would your crap prove that this is crap?

By comparing both crap together and seeing which crap is the crappiest :D

That wouldn't prove that this is crap.

Compare it with ducky doodoos units - if there is any similarity, then its crap. But this is getting a little bit of topic. Its a Create-a-unit thread, not Which-is-the-crap thread.
And for the unit: I think its a good one on the first try. You should all remember how was your first own unit, i could bet that it wasnt very good. This isnt all that overpowered. The point of witch is to hit 4 squares. However, it enables new cleric-killing strategy and ables you to hit opponents wall units without touching your own, whats advantage against a witch. And lower recovery helps it too. You should fix at least blocking, and reduce the armor to 0, since its like a spellcaster with his unblockable attack. However, i still guess if its attack is unblockable? And does LoS apply for it? Not explained enough.
