alright yall ive been givin this here item a piece of my time aint that right betsy? ** cow moos** well as i were sayin this is my here idea. i havent come up with a name fer it so let me know if u got a good one.
HP: 55
power: 10 x 2
attack range:5 squares
recovery:4
movement:3
armor:6
blocking:10 % (5 from the sides)

this unit is a javelin thrower that unlike the scout does NOT need an los to hit a target, however for every obstruction that would normally block los the attack power is decreased 15% because the javelin thrower cannot use full force but has to lob the javelin. i dont know if its possible due to the programming but what i had in mihnd is an alternate firing mode for the javelin thrower: if any magic user ie a witch or pyro chantie cleric, u get the picture. is within 5 squareS of the javelin thrower he can absorb their attack and focus it into his javelin he channels this energy for one turn and then the next TURN he throws the javelin witch then releases the magic on the target. if the magic requires focus then the javelin thrower must remain in focus. ie a barrier ward. so in essenc you could use this to increase the range of a chantie or lightning ward or b ward as you see fit. but remember it takes 2 turns to throw an enchanted javelin and he has 3 recovery so it is really 4. if the javelin thrower doesnt use the alternat fire then he throws 2 javelins at 10 power each with a possible 20 damage and it doesnot need a los.
IF U HAVE ANY GOOD COMMENTS PLZ SHARE NO TRASH PLZ THI8S IS MY FIRST OF THREE UNITS IM GOING AWAY FOR THE WEEK AND I SHOULD HAVE THEM POSTED BY THE END OFG NEXT WEEKEND. THX FER READING AND HAVE A LOT OF FUN ON TAO AS I AM!!!!:) :) :o :o

you do realize that this means that if you have a lightning ward in teh area the javelin will do 40 damage?!?!?! This unit is a sweet idea, but does it really have to absorb so much? it means that with an lw, witch, and pyro near each other you could kill a knight or even a dragon from 5 squares away no sweat! just too powerful.

well sorry i forgot to mention this but if the javelin thrower ops to use the second firing mode he only does the exact amount of damage the magic user would use any way, but because it is still a javelin it is still blockable by units unless u target an empty square, and with an lward he would only do 30 but if u think he should only absorb a certain % plz let me know and also if u read it carefully he has to focus one turn b4 he throws. if he breaks focus he is only at his normal 2 javelins that do 10 each with a possibility of 0; 10; oir 20 possible damage points. thx fer ur concern:cool: :cool: ;) ;) ;)
