I very like this idea, perhaps the arm with the shield needs a bit more work.

[Savra]

How's this?

[General Brave]

Yes, but raise the shield a few pixel.

Updated how's that?

[General Brave]

I think it's better.

[Savra]

Here's the new image.

[General Brave]

This seems okay to be accepted if no one else disagrees.

[Lynx Shafir]

Does the moral give spell res or armor?
Or just 1 attack.
Than better make it 6 cost general tipe unit. (with Aura) Not necessary imperial.

The imperial knight is already a "captain"-just hasn't Aura. (better mobility and stats too)
Doesn't worth 8 cost.
If units like inquisitor, barbarian get in whit 8 cost players will more likely train them instead this what only gives +1 Attak! (and Drake knight )

A moral keeper with 1 buff at average cost unit would be better.(5-6)

[Alexander82]

what about a higher bonus but he might affect only imperial units?

Something like a +5 (non stackable)

[Lynx Shafir]

Better a leader unit like ork chief/warlord(Idk name) to affect every nearby unit.

Gives moral (spell res increase) and attack or armor.

This way is more useful than if buffs only imperials who are enough strong anyway

So 6 cost. General type.

[Alexander82]

What about a double aura? One aura will affect all units and a second aura will affect imperial units only.

It is like the centurion aura from AoS

A +1 to attack it is really low for imperials and since this unit is themed like them I think it is fair to give it an improved effect for other imperial units.

Also we can make other leaders and combine more auras

[General Brave]

What other human leaders?

[Savra]

What kind of bonus style did you have in mind
plus 1 to all non imperials attack and defence and +2 to all imperials attack and +1 to their defences like Imperial training.

[makazuwr32]

NO BONUS ARMOR. Or you want 16/18 armored imperial shielder that nearly nobody would be able to kill?!

I prefer Alex's idea of +5 to imperials and +1 or +2 to all other units (we can make this affect imperials as well).

[General Brave]

Alright what does everyone agree on.

[Savra]

I like Alexander's idea too, I just didn't get it at first.

[General Brave]

I like it.

[Ayush Tiwari]

+1 to Alexander's idea

[Alexander82]

Thanks guys.

Anyway I think that humans should rely more on formations and morale.

The real strength of humans should be their discipline and organization that should overcome simply higher base stats.

So they can have arrow deflections that affect shielded infantry or attack bonus to pikes used in formation or a morale bonus from priests.

We might take more ideas from AoS for them (not a simple copy tough).

This way we can differentiate different races making them effective in their own way.

Now that we have 6 races it is very important to give each one a specific style

Than please remove shields upgrades and imperial techs.
Because as i said before many units of humans will gain astounding amounts of armor making some races absurdly weak against them in late game (elves, undeads, current dwarves so mention the least)

[Alexander82]

Shields upgrades are ok imho.

We can adjust some stats of specific units later if needed but they will be great for the current infantry units.

About the imperial techs we can discuss after the new units for humans will be in game.

[Alexander82]

About the other races I've already told you to wait after we expand them. With archers increase in minimum damage (for elves) and upgrades (for dwarves) we will change any problem.

Also I'd like to open the discussion related to damage and armor types.

[makazuwr32]

The reason is that with this upgrade imperial shielder will have too much armor (10/12) even without imperial techs.
Also other units of humans with shields:
Swordman (and upgrades)
Skirmisher (and upgrades)
Knight (and upgrades)
Axe thrower (and upgrades, if he will become trainable)
Templar (if he will become trainable)

As for me Knight with 7/7 armor (if we add 3rd tier it i think will get bonus armor as well) or skirmisher with 4/10 (or more after 3rd tier) is just soo much for a single unit.

[Ayush Tiwari]

can we make armour aura temporary?(or maybe give it armour,in exchange of something?)

[Alexander82]

@makazuwr32 we are making a total rework of the race to fit the new upgrades/techs logic so we can adjust stats if needed.

I'm adding a lot of stuff to other races too, so I think we can adjust everything to reach a better balance.

[makazuwr32]

Than let's add stuff to other races (including other things for humans) and then shield upgrades?
We need to see at least how 3rd tier and change in blacksmith upgrades will affect humans and their fights.

[General Brave]

So it needs a better image then accept it or what.

@General Brave is already testing those.

I'd like to see them in the dev version so we can all test them
