THE ANCIENTS

Little is known about these elusive creatures apart from lore passed on through the generations. It is said that in a time of great evil these lumbering sages apear, ready to ward off and battle the evil that is coming.

I loved the Red Wizard in seeds tactics core, along with the mystical sorceress, i tried to combine both abilities and the looks of these units.

Ancients Stats
HP:46
POWER:19 (unblockable)to multiple ememy units within LW radius
ARMOR:0%
MOVEMENT:3
BLOCKING:20%
RECOVERY:3
RANGE: 3 SQUARES SURROUNDING like a LW


This unit will use a ancient form of magic that will damage any opponents units within an LW range (note that the ancient is in the center of the spell aka like a chanty focus but the difference is it deals damage.)

The special thing about the ancients is it's ability to never hit an allied unit, that would be considered evil, and the ancients are never such.

So you can see the special abilities are numerous, with this unit you will never damage your own! that in itself is a HUGE advantage since you won't have to be terribly accurate.

Great unit 4 turtles, decent unit for a rush since it has decent durrability.
New attack pattern, and the ability to never hit allied units is definety new.


peace to the people!

Its okay... nothing to great and new about it... and its "special" seems pointless..

I do like the image, what are you using to make these?

[bloodreign]

Well first i go to paint.
I draw the image and "fill" in the major coulors.
Then i save the JPEG of it.
I transfer it to a program called photo impression 5
this is where i do all the shading/ aura glows/ and special effects.

Quite simple realy.

If i had a free 3-d generator such as the one seed had used for tactics core you would see full 3-d animated units.

But i am just a creative noob who knows ziltch about computers.

[Supersmiley :-)]

Well the fact that it cant hit friendly is useless sense its attack is only 1 tile. But maybe making pattern like witch except 3 tiles instead of four would up it up a lot if you ask me.

[bloodreign]

May i correct myself.

IT HITS ALL THE SPACES WITHIN A LW RADIUS! not just one!

what part of "This unit will use a ancient form of magic that will damage any opponents units within a LW range"

do you not understand?

Any of your opponents units within that LW range will be affected!

Now it is a sweet unit.

i like it, it would be a nasty rusher its like a more powerful/slower mud golem

[Asianpride55]

Yea I think this unit is well balance it not too strong it has it's weakenesses and also has strengths as well. Good Job .

[Apocalypse0375]

I dunno...it seems kind of overpowered because if it can hit up to a total of 9 units at a time it shouldnt be able to do 19 for damage maybe like 15...But other than that is seems like a sweet unit

I 2nd that now that I know its true power

[Asianpride55]

Yea decrease it's power when it hits a unit from farther out and it'll be good but it is almost like a mud golem.

[bloodreign]

Maybe it's starting power is 22 and each additional unit it hits with the spell decreases its power by 1? then if you manage to hit 4 units the power hurting each would be 19 per unit? this sounds good to me. this perhaps adds a sliver of originality to the spellcaster group since the amount of units hit by the magic affects the spells power!.

22 single unit
21 for 2 units
20 for 3 units
19 for 4 units

Or start at a lower power....
20 for 1
19 for 2
18 for 3
and 17 for 4 seems weak here though.....meh
