Well this is more of a unit concept, and i'm sure it isn't that perfected yet so i could use your guy's suggestions
---------------------------------------------------
A Very big bug! .... Oh wait arachnid my bad ;)

HP: 36
Attack: 24* (read description for pattern)(Any Adjasent Unit)
Armor: 5
Blocking: 40
Movement: 4
Wait: 2

Attack Pattern: When this unit attacks with its two huge claw things they attack on the side, so if it is a frontal on a unit it has the probabality of a side shot (animation will still show frontal block)
From the side it is still side block percentage (because the back which is zero and frontal averages out to side)
The Disadvantage is that An attack from the back is also counted as side block percentage (i guess the animation will show a block from the back then)

Special: The Scorpion also has a stinger. The Stinger has 11 Power + Poison on any unit adjasent to it.

So basically, no matter from what direction it attacks from, it always uses the side blocking chance.

It's alright for your first attempt, SS. :p

Maybe a little hard to understand though. Maybe it's just me.

I actually like the unit, I think that grey's need a good poison unit personally, but then again this is coming from a guy who thinks there should be a baybe dragon that's 1/2 the power of the dragon tyrant for greys and the dsm should be for greys xD

Srry for the late response super :) i actualy read your unit before anyone commented on it.

I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it last night... O_o ??

I like the idea now that i understand it, it is pretty mean PYRO/DMW/KILLING MACHINE!

I mean it may (most likely yes) significantly alter the usual combo
of a person attacking a PYRO..then they try to finish the pyro off with a frontal but it blocks...... this unit you have changes that concept and your frontals have a WAY better chance to kill those pesky PYRO'S.

But yay again this unit has a 2 turn wait...while a knight has a 2nd chance to seal the deal with his 1 turn wait.

I likey this unit... but i would perhaps bump up its hp or armor a bit.

After all despite it's high attack power it is reasonably defensless as a melee atacker.

Perhaps think of bumping up it's powers slightly above those of a scout?

idk but it is a snazzy unit.

If you attack from the side, you should hit the back, as you are attacking at a 90º angle difference. Other than that, it's alright. I'm assuming that the stinger is activated like mud-quake and not stacked on the the normal attack. 5/10.
