Lava Golem

[Anime Girl]

ok, im hoping this is better then my Necromancer unit.

Lava Golem.
A Golem made from the hardrock and magma of a volcano. Able to burn anyone and anything to the ground, when a volcano erupts expect to see this golem's apprearance.

The Lava Flow: Raises lava from the ground, affecting ALL UNIT'S within a 4 space radius as long as focused is maintined. (9 At one space, 6 At two spaces, 3 At Three spaces, 2 At Four spaces) If that unit remain's on the same space, more damage is given untile movement or focus is'nt maintained.(the lava dissapear's after the unit is moved or focus is lost.)

Lava Golem

Hit Points: 60
Power: 20
Armor: None
Blocking: none
Recovery: 2 (1 if attack) (1 if moved)
Movement: 2
Range: 4


lolz, and yes, i used punctuation's. So let me know what you think of my new golem unit, if you have any idea's of how to improve it let me know, or if you think anything should be taken away.

i like it.

But im not a CAU expert.So my opinion doesnt really count =)

[shurtugal]

Actually, this is the exact same thing as a mud golem, except instead of a lava flow it has a mud quake, that deals 15 damage in a 1 space radius, 10 in a 2 space radius, and 5 in a 3 space radius.

i agree with shurtugal, it's attack is a weaker mix betweeen a mud quake and a poison wisp. Movement, is way too low for a unit like this. And the taking away power from the fire units is a little cheap, 13=Tyrant, 7=Pyro, etc. This unit is kinda just a rock on the field, bump up the movement if that helps at all. But other than that it's not a useful unit, good try.

Actually, you guys have to be some kind of retarded (no offense, just if your going to compare units, make them good comparisons) to think this unit is an underpowered muddy. It's actually entirely different from a muddy in everything but attack pattern. First, mud golems are for infiltrating and hitting large amounts of weak units for small-medium amounts of damage. Conversely, this unit is slow, with a speed of 2 squares every other turn, it will hit the heavy frontline units with alot of damage (the units continue to take damage until they move remember).

We are missing some info though, whats the range on the attack? Can it hurt friendly units? Is damage done at the beginning or end of a players turn? The 20 power, is that the sum of the individual attacks (9+6+3+2, if so, this is a bad way to show it, just put "Lava Flow" in the power line), or does it have a seperate attack like the muddy, if so, what is the range?

Don't make units immune or partially immune to other units, it leads to bad balancing. The units are balanced within themselves, don't add external negatives to throw it off.

i like the general concept, as long as it keeps just the lava flow attack. i would like to know if the lava flow tech, is like a focus move or if it hits then the lava golem can move

[philrox]

It doesn't seem bad, but doesn't it have the same general idea of a Wisp or Mud Golem?

What happens if you hit the Lava Golem after its done its move, does the lava disappear?

It should be focused on the lava like a Wisp or BW, Frosty, etc.

thanks for repeating what i said.....

[Anime Girl]

Ok, i updated little information on the Golem thank's for the advice, and no this is'nt the same as the mud golem if so it would have a melee attack as well. I would make a diagram of the movement, range, and lava flow pattern but i can't think of anything, if you have an idea please reply and i'll be happy to use it and give credit.

[Cloak]

Im kinda likin this, so is it gonna be like,....a Red muddy? lol

[burnout-278]

hellz yea dude its gonna be sweet

[Anime Girl]

well if i knew how do add a picture into this i would simply draw the design of the golem and post it, i was thinking maybe orange lines on the golem to represent the lava as for the other color it could be whatever the color pick's for the unit's.

[burnout-278]

sounds cool

[Panic Attack]

I'm sure a lot of good players could find room for it in there sets:yes3:

[philrox]

I like the description better now. But basically it has the "setup" of a chanty freezing someone? Except it does damage and has 4 "blocks", not 3?

[burnout-278]

it would be more like a pioson wisp dude, since they can move out of it

[Riot-Girl]

Mmm, I love the Dark Magic Witch

[burnout-278]

what does that have to do with this unit?

[Riot-Girl]

Everything.

[burnout-278]

sure it does

[Sebba]

I really think my Magma Golem is better then this, I haven't posted it yet though, only on clan forums...

[Anime Girl]

Duh, the dark witch has to do with everything.
