RE: Roc ( reposting of my previos idea)
Roc
APPEARANCE - Rocs were generally used to carry goods from one place to another, or, in battle, to carry weaponry, or reinforcements, it would look like an oversized raven floating in the air and would carry a giant basket in its talons.

POWER- the roc, since it was very rarely used for fighting, has 15 power. doesnt do much damage wise

BLOCKING- the roce would have 20% from the front, 10% from the sides, and 0% from the back.

ARMOR- The roc's waxy feathers, were very much like the light armor that more speedy units (assassin) used, so it has 10% armor.

HP- the roc has to be a very strong bird to carry units and supplies, so the roc's hp would be 50.

MOVEMENT- the roc could move in a diamond pattern of 4 squares(like lightning ward attack formation).

ATTACK FORMATION- the roc, though very rarely used to attack, had an attack range of one square all around

RECOVERY- the roc's recovery rate after moving and attacking would be two, just attack would be 0ne, and just move would be zero *srry previous typo said move three


SPECIAL MOVE- the roc's special move would be to transport a touching unit to anywhere on the board 5 squares away. the unit would then have a special chance to use a surprise attack, while the roc would have to recover for two.


I HOPE YOU LIKE MY IDEA FOR A ROC. PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF YOU THINk THIS IS UNBALANCED!!! (or just stupid)

You stole this idea from Age of Mythology.
Besides, this idea stinks.
This is a stupid idea.

^ no he didn't steal the idea from AoM. the legendary roc has been around for a very lonf time. thats like saying "you stole the idea of a mummy from AoM'
about the unit, i dont really like it that much nor do i think it is very good. i mean most of the time you would use it for moving a knight right? most other units would only gain one movment space at the cost of attacking. useing the roc a knight would gain 2 movment spances. but on his own he can make that distance in two turnes. so over all i dont really think this unit would be ver good. also it would be hard to program becasue it is in constant flight.
