Special ability: Gives all units inside +10 armor vs. missile and magic attacks from outside the walls.

This is a fortress that has two sides and a front gate (i.e. must be placed on back wall). The inclosure would include a square of 4 spaces.

=**= = wall
=**= * open ground
=++= + gate

The Citadel will be a favorite amoung people who like to 'turtleshell' themselves in. Only your own forces would be able to pass through the gate, however, teleporters could pass through the walls. Scouts and magic users would be able attack over the walls, but any melee units would not.

Since the walls can be destroyed, it takes the place of one aggressive unit, and it would NOT count as an end-of-game unit, I believe that the Citadel is a well rounded unit that could add a new twist to the game... fortifications.

HP is way to high. And be more specific with how the scouts and pyro's would attack from on top of the wall? Do they waste a turn goin up the wall to attack? Anyways, I think its an ok idea, just lower the HP.

It's a decent idea, but the truffle shuffle is a moron, the archers dont shoot a straight line all the time in real life, and the magic users attack comes up from the ground (it can go under) think before you speek. the only problem is that its not a fortress it would need another wall or it's just a wall that people could walk around.

I agree that I put the hp too high, but it should not go below 100. Since the stone golem has an hp of 60 and the dragon has an hp of 68. The Citadel is a type of castle, after all, so shouldn't the hp be much higher than other units?

And to your other question, no unit would be able to land on a space occupied by the walls or gate, just like no other 2 units can share a square. I simply implied that the scout's and pyro's attacks would be able to damage units on the other side of the walls, and melee's couldn't dispite range of the attack (i.e. Beast Rider). Any form of damage can reduce the Citadel's hp unblocked.

Amish,

The Citadel does only have 3 sides, but for two good reasons.

First off, this unit is huge, taking up 8 spaces. By adding a 4th wall, you would be using 11 spaces.

But more importantly is how it must be placed against the back row of the game board to be an inclosure. If it could be placed further forward, it would give an unfair advantage since your own scout's and pyros would be able to cover a great expanse of the game board while still being protected from melee damage. This gives the player two choices... either place it against the back wall as a fortress and have limited range with units while inside it, or place it further up as an obsticle rather than a fortress.

I was only trying to understand before I was understood.

Oh I see now... with your graph or picture...whatever you call it, it looks like the walls are going in the same direction as the gate making one solid wall...it was a misleading picture. Now I understand it...don't think I was making fun of it...I was just saying. If I don't like you and wan't to make fun of you or your units, I'm not one of those assholes that make it sound nice but actually hate you. You'll know when I don't like something...I don't make passive insults.








People know that I ment no offense.

For example.

GeneralBenedict, you are a douche bag. I know this because all people that use smilies are. GeneralBenedict huh? Which war did he fight in?...None that you were alive to see. I have no intention of ruining this thread by turning it into an arguement of how retarded you are. I noticed that you had nothing to say... is it because you know I will turn it around and shove it straight up your ass? Probably. Like I said on another thread "Negative reenforcement is not reenforcement, but a steel ball bashing down the walls of ego" and "I'm only negative to those whose walls need to be busted down a bit"....like yours.







People now know GeneralBenedict will start talking....because he's been looking for something new to put in his ass.
