Lancer - IMPLEMENTED
Human horce unit with a lance. Much the same as a knight, but no bonus against infantry, and instead very effective against other cavalry. Good to deal with smarter enemies that retreat cavalry when spearmen approach.

Re: Lancer
In AOS there's already a lancer (and a heavy lancer?)

Re: Lancer
*facepalm* I guess this is where it becomes obvious I gave up AOS for AOF instead. Lol I consider it more in depth with greater options and having much more varied gameplay with just 16 possible race matchups in a 2 player game, each with their own variety of strategies.

Re: Lancer
I think both games have a lot to offer, in AOS for example you can find a counter (unit) for almost every strategy

Re: Lancer
I think it would be a good idea to import the lancer. It would give humans a great anti cavalry tool, and might be good to give bonuses against dragons and the like with the dragonlance idea.

Re: Lancer
Not give humans a lancer? Humans are the masters of the art of war! (Weaponry is what I mean in this setting.)
Besides, elves have 4 speed moving spearmen. You can't possibly enjoy going after them with cavalry.

Re: Lancer
Sentinel kinda fill that role. In fact, sentinels fill so many required positions, no sane individual would play as elves without making them.

Re: Lancer
I also must point out that dryads get a bonus vs cavalry. I'd like them to get a damage bonus somehow to enhance this part, but in "many" starting units, it definitely shines against enemy cavalry.

Re: Lancer
Dryads are basically horse archers with poison so I don't think they should have a particular bonus unless we plan to use poison instead of acid (so they would have a bonus against trolls)

Re: Lancer
Sorry, I was mentioning that they already have a bonus vs cavalry, and I was hoping for some way to increase their overall attack power to be able to more effectively use that bonus.

Re: Lancer
This should have been in the game. Orcs AI and players love spawning in Raptor riders which is pretty much a pike horseman. I support the idea

Re: Lancer
I've made the images but i can't post them right now cause my internet connection isn't working (I'm writing from my phone).
They looks like the 3 knights level but with shield and lances.

Nice
