Throws a net on the victim with 50% chance.
And if hit than the unit will be locked to tile so cannot move, and cannot attack.
And after 4 turns the net dimnishes. (If the unit still alive..).
Not removable by other means.

Can be done with the new effect engine created for the poison archer.

sounds great

Fire arrow archer, is 16-18 centuries they were

fire arrow: open new topic please for it.

the net? better as a Roman Gladiator. I don't remember the name,but he's right and throws the net. BUT he is without reservation. what kind of a man with a wooden spear.

I think the unit should be only immobile, but able to attack, because it would be really overpowered that way. Imagine throwing a net at an elephant, hoplite or catapult.

Maybe we need an icon for the net-thrower?

And a net.

Thats a really great idea. I think he should be able to attack, but have very weak attacks. About the same as the builder. Also there should be some units that are immune to the net. Such as elephants, flying units, and so on. (By the way, nice image cool guy)

Thank you!

nice image!


netted units stats reduce to half?

elephant, spartan, and non-flesh-and-blood units are immunr.

ideas?

Thank you!

I kind of like the immobilizing. But maybe for the larger units like elephants and mounted stats are halved. IDK. Definitely impeding effects.

Perhaps the amount of time you are trapped depends on the strength of the unit. So elephant trapped for 1 - 2 turns, etc for the other units. And gladiator dude is rhetori or something. As for the unit, what range should he have? 2 or 1.

I think two woud be good. Other wise they will be really hard to use. And a bit useless against any normal speed unit.

Hi
Looks cool - good idea.

Why we stopped here??

Patroid

Is this topic dead?

This was a fantastic idea! Gladiators are awesome

So the net cant trap elephants, ships, buildings and it will have 2 damage

Elephants, ships. That would be a huge net. What about Trebuchets?

Trebuchets shouldnt be caught in nets

Maybe mounted units will only have 20% chance to get caught in nets

Would make you think twice on attacking tc and towers I'm starting to like this unit,if you had a wagon full of these guys could make a difference in overrunning a defensive position

Made the stats
Cost 3
Hp 12
Attack 2
Range 2
Armor 1
Pierce armor 0
Speed 3
Sight 4
Action 1
Spell resistance 0%
Build only in barracks
20% chance to trap mounted units
50% chance to trap other units
Elephants, ships, buildings, not alive units (like catapults) cant be trapped in nets.
Net will stay for 4 turns
Bonus against heavy armored infantry 100%

I think we should increase the range to 3. Is there a way to make a unit trapped by a net where other friendly units cannot pass through the units square? Kind of a like a building that is being built.

These guys could become bad wammer jammers

Isnt 3 range too powerful?

I think have a net trap chances only and not all they attack was neted

Then 1 attack because it would have hurt if a heavy net is thrown on someone

Haha I imagine that a net thrower have 100% chance to trap enemy a lot of prisoner XD killing spree

100% chance to trap enemies would be too strong

Maybe 50% in infantry unit and 25 % in calvary chance to trapped enemy
