Javelin Thrower

[Odysseus]

Javelin Thrower

Health: 35
Attack:20
Armor:18
Range: 4
Recovery: 2
Special Abilities:
Blocking- 40% Front (20% Sides)
Throws his javelins over units in front of him to hit one square, much like a lightning ward, only it is a blockable attack, just like the Scout's.


Appearance might be vaguely like the Scout, I picture a human male with maybe banded armor like a Roman soldier or perhaps chain mail, in any case, not as imposing as the Knight, and obviously carrying a fistful of javelins with one in his other hand ready to throw. This unit should be available to all accounts, as it is more in line with the beginning human units.

Oddyseus?!? Are you the old BGer?? that hasnt been around forever?? If not, then.... uhhh... not a bad unit, but I think if it was made a gold unit, the gold would have oto much of a range advantage with that and two scouts. Also, call it a Peltast, it flows better and means the same thing :)

So are you Odysseus from BG?

I think the appearance should be more like a Samurai or a Ranger, and the special ability should have 45% blocking and 22% from sides, or it will be a little bit weak, just like the Beast Rider, not like Dragon Tyrant. The attack shouldn't be over units in front of him, if a Scout attacks with units in front of him, he will not hit the target but the unit whose close to him. And what was his attack range...?(Is it the same as a Scout?)

well i think this idea is better than this version but up to u really

Amazon Javelineer
[i]In the jungle the javelin is more effective than the bow, not only as a weapon if sprung upon for close combat but also as a distance weapon. Able to send the tall pointy sticks of death high over the heads of the usual wall of steel or a sneak infiltrating attack upon the rear of most, the scouts of the Amazons are more feared than the warriors for obvious reasons
HP: 30
Power: 12
Weapon Range: 5 squares
Armour: 6%
Blocking: 42% blocking front / 24% blocking side
Recovery Time: 1 turn
Movement: 5
Notes: Ignores LOS
Tactics: Fast precise movement is the key to most things, especially when a critical blow needs to be placed. The Javlineer, able to move forward at an incredible speed, the restriction of very little armour and a light weapon she provides the perfect infiltrator and work mate of the assassin or lone seeker of mages to claim a killer blow.
Line of Sight is not needed from her long range , over head throws, sending javelins over the enemy knights head onto the weaker creatures below.
Able to disrupt paralyzed units, stone golems or hit supposedly protected clerics with a fast turn of movement the perfect skirmish unit can be formed.[/B]

u make ur own choice
