SPECTRAL RIDER - IMPLEMENTED

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sun Sep 13, 2015 6:05 pm

Elite undead cavalry.
I dont know how to draw yet so i will just explain.
He is from hell to capture souls. rides on a skeletal horse and is a ghost like creature with a purple cloak and a sickle like huge curved weapon in 1 hand on a long staff.
Abilities. To kill him first you need to kill his horse. Then he is easily killable
Catch: if you kill his horse (ie without horse he is called grim reaper for simplicity)and somehow the rider comes across a skeleton of a dead knight then he can revive it and use it again to regain his previous stats. His cost will be 8 turns 45 health and 15 power for spectral rider and 11 health and 7 power for grim reaper. If you like it then i will give you other details and stats

Any suggestions anyone?

I like it, but im not sure if the games engine can change a units image/stats in a random/multiplayer game. If it can I think with a bit of editing it could be pretty cool

may be a grim reaper can be created a seperate unit as grim reaper which can also upgrade to a spectral rider but can be killed easily before that. Maybe a turn cst of 5 to it wont make it op

anybody in favour of this unit?

ejm29 · Post by **ejm29** » Wed Sep 16, 2015 8:00 pm

Ive just thought, the original idea would probably work. As a similar effect happens when a unit dies (the corpse) if so, im favour of it!

THANKS!!!!
Ok then any more ppl??

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 10:46 am

Nobody has anything to say about this unit??

Current undead cavalry it's already pretty strong and there is also a image for an upgrade, i also would like to prefer to concentrate on particular units (like golems and different kind of monster) to give undead a different flavor.
About a grim reaper unit could be nice but it sound more like a hero unit

Dont worry . try using the pikemen against it. I basically thought of spearthrower for the same reason but no body approved of it. The grim reaper can easily be killed with arrows

Alexander82 · Post by **Alexander82** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 1:03 pm

You can kill oyher knight with archers and other units, if you don't have some pikemen ready, some undead knights can easily destroy your army...

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 3:42 pm

Thats why i recommended using spearthrowering unit

Alexander82 · Post by **Alexander82** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 3:45 pm

Yes, but a unit that requires a counter-unit or is otherwise too strong is not balanced...

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 4:19 pm

Hmmm... not quite . Every unit will have some strengths and weaknesses . It will be strong against some unit types and completely useless against others. So i think its just fine

Alexander82 · Post by **Alexander82** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 4:31 pm

that is ok, but it's invulnerable against some kinds, and it's not a 8 turns unit

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 5:06 pm

It is a 8 turns unit

Pepe · Post by **Pepe** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 6:18 pm

Good idea but no one will make a 8 turn cavalry unit...

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 6:39 pm

Thats the reason i intend to make the grim reaper a seperate unit too.

Although the spectral rider would be badass turning into a sub unit upon being defeated I would suggest keeping the spectral rider in its own image allowing other options ( not just including mine ) for possible options of an additional hero unit.

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 4:46 am

What options?
This is supposed to be a strong cavalry unit which has a chance of surviving even after being defeated.but if someone thinks it to be too costly, he can directly make the weak unit and find an undead cavalry unit.but i thought that people would deliberately make a grim reaper and undead knight together and then kill the knight using it to make a spectral rider.so . Thought there should be another restriction on the revival of spectral rider... or reduce the turn cost of the rider With some stats too for balancing...

Hey man I'm not hating on your idea. If it can be created go for it I just commented a theory as asked. Other possible options as in unit ideas from players who would like the name or similar and being unable as 1 unit is 2. Does that make sense? Its late I've been drinking

But i never said that you hated my idea
I just combined two points in one msg and asked you what you meant to suggest for the betterment of the unit because i did not understand what u actually meant.hence i asked for clarity and in turn cleared my stance about what i wanted in this unit.
Anyways what do u suggest? Can the unit be misused as i specified?

SirDoucheBag · Post by **SirDoucheBag** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 11:56 am

I like it man I do go for it. It will be a popular unit for sure but consider some of my unit stats I suggested for when the spectral rider becomes a Foot unit. Almost swap abilities per se between the two. Allowing different styles of combat when in The rider or foot unit class.

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 4:40 pm

Actually i am against that because that way the spectral rider will become invincible.i get yourr point though,and i will suggest new stats for it

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Sun Mar 27, 2016 5:52 pm

Patroid the new design leader- do u suggest anything?

patroid · Post by **patroid** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 10:35 am

Hi,
Sound cool, but i think yust as Uograde unit...not as main.
I think we should focus on To Do list that u find in Fantasy Section. We have mainly to do
On Wagons, and towers...so unique style for races... .

TheBluePhoenix · Post by **TheBluePhoenix** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 1:19 pm

Ok but this is not an upgrade unit - it is a seperate unit itself

patroid · Post by **patroid** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 1:32 pm

With upgrade unit i meant that u need to unlock it with gems

Can we have this in or is there something wrong with this unit?
