All of these ideas can be changed and played off of. I'm just throwing these out in forums for discussion. I'm actully quite happy with the way the barrier ward already is.
The first idea is just an addition to the orginal attack. It is the ablility to place a barrier over an empty tile. At some point we have all wished that we could block a tile or a particular LoS shot. Sometimes it can be far more beneficial to block a certain tile then to actully place the barrier over a unit. *The Example that i just thought of....* If a witch is about to attack your cleric and all the units in front of it. It would help more to put a barrier over the tile in front of the witch so she can not advance staight then it would to put the barrier over the cleric and let everyone else get hit. *Another example* You can plug a hole in your wall. So that knights cannot enter your setup, or if they enter your setup you can quickly stop from getting even close to Cleric chanty witch etc.

The Second idea... This one is a little far fetched but it sounded like fun. You would have the ability to either place a normal barrier over a unit, or a trap barrier over a unit. We have all played noobs that put THERE barrier over one of OUR guys because they thought it would trap our guys in. So i thought they should give the barrier ward an ability to trap units in a barrier. Now i realize this could be too powerful if it has its 6 tile range. So you would probably have to shrink this abilities range down to about a knight or an enchantresses attack range. Now if you trapped an enemy unit. It CANNOT move, it CANNOT heal, it CANNOT be hurt, but it can be parlyzed. So its the same thing as a regular barrier except they cannot leave. If you trapped there last moveable unit in this barrior you would win because they can't move. *Examples on how to use it.* You can trap a knight so it can't move. Have your enchantress parlyze it through the ward. Then take off the barrier and replace it on Enchantress. Or if a knight breaks into your setup and gets between your units and your cleric. you can put a barrier over him, and walk YOUR knight between there knight and your cleric. Then release the barrior. This makes time for a new adequate wall. You can even make a time limit that allows this ability to last for X amount of turns before it wears off.
Again you can change anything you want about this. Im just putting it up for discussion. :)

What I'd like to see again is the ability to Barrier Shrubs. They used to have 15HP which was too much, but if you could use focus abilities on shrubs that would be fantastic. Maybe change their HP from -- to 1. So we can barrier them again. :)

The second idea sounds awesome but a little too overpowered. :) That would make scouts almost useless, lol.

Not bad idea, but overpowered.
It basicly becomes a frost golem with higher range.
And instead of first idea, get a furgon.

No im thinking of greys not golds so there is no furgon, and the second ability i said would have the attack range of a knight or enchantress. So one or two tiles for trap range.
*I just thought of this example.* If you had 2 barrior wards in a setup, and there scout went into the very corner of your setup to shoot the cleric. you could put a barrior over the tile in front of the scout and one to the side of the scout. So the scout can't move. and you can kill it with magic and scout.

You're a terrible troll, shurt. This isn't a new unit, it's a special, which would go grey directly, like the sassy bomb and (on legends) the furgon special.

Why would you want to have the ablility to put barrior over a shrub? Then your confined to just putting it on shrubs and units. By putting it on an empty space you wouldn't have that problem.

Because you used to be able to barrier shrubs, but they changed that. I would like a version of the old way again. 15HP shrubs were too powerful but the shrub barrier would still be nice.

I have thought of the first one a few times. I feel it would give too much power to the BW though. The second one I find i bit silly though.

Haha we played.... Your the grey that i beat the hell out of and took a bunch of your stats, and you complained for a couple weeks saying that you weren't serious about the game, and that you wanted a rematch. You sat in the lobby for a week saying "shredder is scared to play me" haha but i beat you. I'll game you anytime.

Under what name did we play? When I was playing on banff in AK I wasn't using clay. I have never played you. Whenever I saw you in the lobby, you denied everyone a game
