Instead of Attacking the Forest Gate Summons A Sprite In Each of the fourth squares in front of, behind, and to the left and right. If a unit occupies this space, the power has no effect. This is a focus ability. If the focus is broken, the sprites disapear.

Attack: 8
Attack Pattern: 1 square forward, backwards, left, right
Unblockable
Recover: 0
Armor: 0

Please post suggestions!

All I have to say is wtf...

[GeneralBenedict]

I meant contructive suggestions.

[moosey2]

oh oh sorry. well erm.. can the gate create tons of these little buggers?
and how the hell does a gate shit out fairy people....

[GeneralBenedict]

Well the fairy people really arnt that powerfull :/

[moosey2]

No they arnt but man, what were you on to think of a GATE that magicaly creates FAIRYS.
You didnt ask my question is there a set amount to how many can be made.

[GeneralBenedict]

no there is no limit

[cylinwolf]

Dude, you need to give a desine description.
And Btw,It sucks.:eek:

[GeneralBenedict]

Post people can understand what words mean without using pictures :D

[fragdemon]

It's not an issue of pictures, it's an issue of being thorough:

For example, what happens if a unit occupies the "directly in front" space where the fairies are usually made?

Also, what is the attack pattern of the fairy? I'm assuming from the fact that it's a fairy that it would be some sort of magical attack, so I'd assume it's unblockable. But what tiles would such an attack hit?

Also, is the blocking on all sides for the Fairy? Because 90% blocking on all sides is slightly crazy (although probably necessary, especially with the low HP)

[drakonfire]

from his description i get this gate (probably to an alternate, hmm, forest dimension maybe?) that these lil sprites come out of, with their high movement, low attack and insanely high blocking i'm thinking th sprites attack pattern is that of a knight? i like this idea... i'm to toasted right now to think if its balanced, but i like it.... its not like the gate is invulnerable or something, concentrate a scout or 2 on it and it'll be gone before to long


though fragdemon brought up a good question, what if there is a unit in front of the gate... is it stuck then? hmmm... means a knight could counter it easily if it were out in the open without defense...

[GeneralBenedict]

I stand corrected, changes made.

So you can pump out an infinte amount of these little guys? Whoa. Talk about dominance. All through the game, just pump out theses little guys well standing behind a Furgon wall and then once you have like 20 just swarm on over. Sure your enemy can kill one every turn, if he hits it. But still, they are going to come in and start blowing away everything. Then rinse and repeat until you feel it's time to move in the knights with scout support and a few of these guys and finish 'em off.

[GeneralBenedict]

Witchs, Pyros, and mudies maccesar these guys. Its not like they are super powerful. :(

[Office_Shredder]

If you are using one of these and a furgon, I would love to see how you stand a chance against a mud golem... or a pyro rush... it's really not that powerful. In fact, when I first saw it I thought it was a little weak... I mean, they only deal five damage each, and the gate isn't that hard to kill. And unlike most guys, you can't just surround this with guys to protect it, because that renders it useless.

[GeneralBenedict]

I see comments with probelms, but any suggestions on how to fix the problems?

[Office_Shredder]

How about something like this?

Forest Gate
HP: 60
Attack: 0
Armor: 10
Blocking: 0
Stationary Unit
Recovery: 3

Focus effect: Summons a sprite on all four sides until the focus is broken.

Sprite:
HP: 10
Attack: 8
Unblockable attack
Range: 3
Armor: 0
Blocking: 70% front, 35% sides
Movement: 4 (teleport)
Recovery: 1

That is what I would envision it like, where the gate has to stay "focused" to keep the faeries from leaving back to their homeland.

[GeneralBenedict]

It summons 4 sprites?

[Che0lbin89]

This seems like a stationary furgon

[Office_Shredder]

It summons four sprites if it has the room to, and has to focus to keep them alive. So a scout could just shoot it after summoning, and all the sprites disappear.

[Omega_Paladin]

Ok, sounds good. And muddy and pyro rushes are really easy to counter.

[Office_Shredder]

I know they are easy to counter, but they are still popular.

[GeneralBenedict]

Unit Changed. Any more suggestions?

[Bottle]

Personally, I would increase blocking of the gate to 50% from all sides, and increase its recovery to 5, so it is slightly more durable (scouts can kill it too easily) and less powerful (a pyro sitting outside the gate can burn the lil sprites all day then, and still have time to attack other stuff.......)

The sprites also have slightly too much blocking, make it 70%. They would be as dodgeful as an assassin, methinks.

But 8 damage... that would deal 1 damage to a double-stoned knight..... never happens i know, but even so...... make it 10. It's still going to die super quickly, and still does almost no damage to anything reasonably tough.

[GeneralBenedict]

How can a gate block?

[GeneralBenedict]

How can a gate block?

[moosey2]

i dont know why you guys are still posting on this subject this unit will never be made...

[GeneralBenedict]

None of these units will ever be made....

[someone]

1. to answer your question on how a gate blocks ask your self how does a ward block.

2. Actually there is a slim chance these units could be made but the chance is like below 5% so we mainly do this to have fun and to be creative

[moosey2]

yeah theres like a .000000000000009% chance of these posts actually becoming units but that slim chance makes us create tons of em', eh? ><
