Phalanx

Shadows · 11-26-2003, 07:06 PM

ok.....if seen some ideas....most which were unfortunatly bad....so i thought i would through in some of my own

the phalanx would basically be a slow moving...say 3 or four...unit....it would have a rather mediocre strength not extremly low..yet not significantly powerful...it hp would be probably very large...such as 50? it would also have a great armor and block...its attack pattern would be to hit units directly adjacent to it of it...possible make it hit two spaces in a row.....another feature could be that it could not move attack and change position....only two of those.......it would look like a largely armored unit...with a large stabbing spear in one hand...and a massive sheild in another...

alright..so tell me what you think..remember this is a strategy game, the phalanx would be a defensive unit...dont go giving him a mighty punch...im open to criticism...just properly back it up..

As long as you balance its strength, speed, and power, it would be a great addition. By the way, 3-4 squares isn't bad movement-wise. I'm thinking maybe you could make it 1-2 spaces, like the frost golem. If you bump it's HP up a notch, I could imagine it moving implacably through the ranks, not really killing anyone but helping ruin any strategies he/she might have. Sweet.

basicly a unit which can almost only be destroyed by unblockable attacks?

Clavat · 11-26-2003, 07:46 PM

how about 100% block from the front and 75% from the sides

Shadows · 11-26-2003, 10:48 PM

that sounds good...my basic idea was to create a slow defensive based unit....it cant really hurt u that much...but you cant kill it either

ABronsonM · 11-26-2003, 11:26 PM

Realistic Yes.
Good Yes.
Voting for Yes.

Clavat · 11-27-2003, 10:25 AM

you got my vote

ElvenArcher99 · 11-27-2003, 06:03 PM

i like it it could be very helpful and u could make new types of stratigies using it

ReNeGAdE · 11-27-2003, 11:17 PM

VERY GOOD UNIT DESIGN!!! eventually im making a list of what i think are 'the best' unit ideas, and this will definitely be on it.

Shadows · 11-28-2003, 09:52 AM

thank you!

ABronsonM · 11-28-2003, 11:26 AM

Hey shadows...see if you can give us the exact stats for this to make things easier...give more people reason to vote for it

Shadows · 11-28-2003, 11:27 AM

see the thing is im not to good on what i should put as for the exact stats....so my thinking is...i'll feed TAO the idead....they perfect it....but lets see....how about this...it is open to change

power: 13
armour: 30
hp: 50
movement: 2
recovery: 2 (not sure)
attack pattern: hits an adjacent unit and the space behind that unit
specail: phalanx cannot move attack and change facing position...it may only do two of the three commands in a turn
has a 100% front block...75% from sides

ABronsonM · 11-28-2003, 11:41 AM

And using Clavat's blocking 100% front 75% sides...and lower the power to 13. It is after all a unit that doesn't do much damage! Keep the 2 recovery time since smart players will not use them to strike *unless its the only unit left or it isn't...'vunerable' from back strikes.

Shadows · 11-28-2003, 11:42 AM

all done

ReNeGAdE · 11-28-2003, 03:16 PM

i say lower power to 10 so he cant just walk behind enemy lines and sit there slowly killing people.
