Wow. I just hit a cleric with this guy and he blocked. I'd more rather have a knight.

Thanks for the response, but I would use him in place of a Lighting ward more than a Knight. If you used him in a turtle form it would be a stoned mobile Lighting Ward, or in an antirush he would be in a Knight wall or behind one and essentially a mobil lighting ward. I find him more effective in the late game than a lighting ward due to his low recovery as well.

True, I guess the only part I don't like is the -33% chance to hit. Maybe it should only apply to units that can block when they are hit from the front or sides? Because a knight blocking from behind and a cleric dodging this guy wouldn't be fun.

I feel it would be over powered if that were to happen.

Olympian, just because you found some random picture you liked on Google doesn't mean it should be made into a unit; especially a knight clone.

lol?
How is this a knight clone?
Knight
Hit Points 50 (two more)
Power 22 (eight less)
Armor 25 (17 more)
Blocking 80% Front and 40% Side (30% more and 15% more)
Recovery 1 (same as assassin, furgon, beast rider, berserker)
Movement 3 (same as Cleric, Pyromancer, Dark Magic Witch, Enchantress, Furgon, and Berserker)
Target 1
Special Chance of Beast hit is reduced 33%. (Unique)

Just because it is realistic and balanced doesn't mean it isn't worthy. I will admit it's not just a crack pot idea like many of the so called good unit ideas.

This unit is a very strange one indeed.

the reduced chance to hit actualy makes this unit "SOMEWHAT" balanced

It would get POWNZARD! by knights, and then a spellcaster would either get INSTAKILLED! or would have a 63% chance to frontal block if i am so correct... not bad for those seemeingly constant DMW 2nd hit frontal blocks.

Either your going to be extremely frustrated (LUCK FACTOR) or extremely happy when your Beast hits or misses.

More luck we need? i don't know...on one hand you will as an opponent be like "no, your not going to hittem, you got no chance fool! i got 90% chance to block with my DSM" then your opponents beast frontals him and kills him in 1 hit......very demotivating.

Yes very strange. But I like it ! Nice idea ! . Lmao about the fact that Hellblazer saying that Olympian, just because you found some random picture you liked on Google doesn't mean it should be made into a unit; especially a knight clone. What a joker :)

It serves the same strategic purpose as a knight, that's no fun!

It would not serve the same purpose as a knight.....no way!

First it has a 50% chance to block and only has 8% armor (aka scout armor)

It has 8 more hp than a scout but would last not much longer.

It would get toasted with a scout shooting at it so it would not serve a good role as a Front line defensive unit.

It would not have the long term survivability as a knight would....but you guys already knew that.


I wouldn't mind 4 knights niether would i!
