assasins

I know I mentioned this in the wrong section before but I thought I would put it in here as well. I do fell that assassins should not be able to destroy buildings. It is not thematic and can make them very op. Maybe they should only take 3 turns to make with this alteration to make them a bit more worthwhile.

[COOLguy]

Maybe split the functions. Have a reverse unit almost exactly like the assassin that destroys only buildings.

[balint]

maybe piromanic, or looter?

[COOLguy]

Yeah. Those are good names too. I wasn't able to think of one.

[Storgar]

I like the pyromaniac idea but I feel that he should not be able to destroy castles, all other buildings are fine but castles take too much effort to build to be taken by 1 dood with a torch :p

[balint]

what o you think about 1/4 hp for castles ?

or maybe 200 damage?

[COOLguy]

I agree. Castles are way too big to be destroyed by one yahoo with a torch. But maybe cut down the damage inflicted to about 1/6.

[Storgar]

I think a straight 200 damage to any building would be good, this would mean that it would be 5 hits on a non upgraded castle but more if you have the techs. 200 will also destroy all other buildings in 1 hit.

[COOLguy]

Ok. How would we make it so it only operates on buildings? There didn't seem to be anything unusual on the assassin's stats.

[Storgar]

would not be too hard

give the pyromanic an att str of 5 with 4000% bonus on buildings - so he is naff against troops but great on buildings

the assassin could be att str 5 with 3000% bonus on all troop types - so naff against buildings but great against troops.

if they only cost 3 turns each to make as well that would make them a useful tool.

[COOLguy]

Good!
Maybe, Assassin> flesh-n-blood units; Piromaniac> Buildings; and Saboteurs> non-flesh-n-blood-units?

[balint]

Seems good.

[COOLguy]

Here's tile ideas. Ya'll can tell me what to change.

[Storgar]

They do look good. maybe too similar though.

Not sure if the saboteur should look like a worker with your big saw

The pyro could lose the cloak and have a torch in each hand.

[COOLguy]

Ok, Pyro'll lose the cloak. Does the torch flame need an outline?

Daniel: If you would please send me the png for the worker we use, I can experiment with making the Saboteur. (I've been basing these off of the tileset images.)

[Stratego (dev)]

cool: sure, send me an email with this request - thanks.

[COOLguy]

Here's Pyro with and without flame outline. Please tell me what you think.

[balint]

Pyro Paul

[patroid]

Hi

Pyro Paul!!!

Patroid

[COOLguy]

K!
And here's the Saboteur. Tell me what changes are necessary.

[balint]

aybe his weapon... Ut seemed a laser weapon at first sight

[COOLguy]

Take your pick!

[patroid]

Saboteur slim.

[balint]

slim

[COOLguy]

Not the Chainsaw?

[balint]

that would be better : )

[COOLguy]

Is everything good? Should we ask for implementation?

[Storgar]

Pyro Paul is great and the slim guy too is good, some nice icons you have made

[COOLguy]

WhythankyouSOmuch!!!

In medieval times, thry were called sappers. They would dig under a seiged castle to an outter wall, use pig fat/carcass, wood to make a hot fire, the pig would explode taking down the wall.
