Wood Shaper - IMPLEMENTED

[samuelch]

An elf that only have spells to grow nature. This elf unit can grow elf spiked wall, a tree for makeshift walls, and the elf bridge. The elf nature shaman can also raise the tree to make it bigger (stronger wall).

[Alexander82]

There already is the druid that is mostly a nature shaman.
Try another name

[samuelch]

Elf Shyde?

[Alexander82]

Isn't it like a fairy?

Anyway, is it like a worker? (permanent building?)

What about wood shaper for the name?

[Alexander82]

I suggest amonge the other spells to place the following:

Forestwalk (cause he can shape the wood to make you pass through)

Entangle (debuff, aoe, enemy units affected have to pass a check with that % 100-(target attack*5), if they don't pass the check they can't move until the next turn (they can still attack)) Imade this for my ranger unit that you can find here:
viewtopic.php?f=86&t=2201 and it would fit well for a unit that can shape plants

[samuelch]

Well how about:Entangle, Growing Trees (make all plant stuff like ent and spiked wall stronger), and Bridges? This unit will give elf a little more naval power too because of the bridges.
I change the growing tree ability to make elf witch ent summoning ability useful,

[Alexander82]

I'm trying working on a image

[samuelch]

I like the appearance and the animation.

Cost 4
HP 12
Attack 3
Range 1
Sight 5
Armor 0
Pierce Armor 0
Speed 3
Spell Range 4
action 1
Spells:Grow (Increase spiked wall, elf outpost, bridge, and ents max hp by 5)
Create Bridge (create bridge instanly on a water tile)
Entangle
Built at tcs

[Alexander82]

I have edited the base image (the hairs) and created 2 alternative animations

this is the first

[Alexander82]

This one use the same lines of the staff

[Alpha]

I am not sure how often this unit will be used and how

[Alexander82]

Entangle is a control spell. it shall be good to block large amounts of basic units
Also it might have a spell to summon plants like portable walls to stop big units
About the buff i think it might add damage to ents or armor to buildings

[Alpha]

A decent idea, the point of this unit is too stop enemy troops from advancing

[Alexander82]

Yes, it is the unit meaning. We might also consider giving it a heal spell, maybe one made for wooden units

[Alpha]

Nioce

[Alexander82]

Slower animation

[Alexander82]

My suggested stats:

Cost 4
HP 12
Attack 3
Range 1
Sight 5
Armor 0
Pierce Armor 0
Speed 2
Sight 6
Spell Range 4
Heal rate 5
action 1
Spells:
Growth: Healing spell for wooden units and buildings (2x heal rate)
Heal: (for normal units)
Create Bridge (create bridge instanly on a water tile)
Entangle (debuff, aoe, enemy units affected have to pass a check with that % 100-(target attack*5), if they don't pass the check they can't move until the next turn (they can still attack))
Forestwalk
Built at tcs, great tree

This way we have the elven counterpart for healer that can support by creating bridges, controlling the field and healing

[samuelch]

I think the animation is too slow but I like the stats and the spells.

[Alexander82]

In game it shall be faster

[Alpha]

I think the Nature Shaman should be made in the Great Tree.

[Alexander82]

i agree

[Alexander82]

New animation

[Alpha]

The Animation is definitely a improvement. But maybe the Blue glow from his staff should be Green?

[Alexander82]

I thought aboyt it but i was trying to keep some congruence with magical effects in game using the same color. Let's ask daniel

[Alpha]

We also need more male units for the elfs.

[Alexander82]

Yes, i tought the same

[Stratego (dev)]

Spells:Grow (Increase spiked wall, elf outpost, bridge, and ents max hp by 5)

we can not spawn different units with one spell, we need specific spells for that.
what does "max hp by 5" means?

also any cooldown here?

[makazuwr32]

He has different spells

My suggested stats:

Cost 4
HP 12

Pierce Armor 0
Speed 2

Spell Range 4
Heal rate 5
action 1
Spells:

Create Bridge (create bridge instanly on a water tile) I think it needs 1-2 turns cooldown
Entangle (debuff, aoe, enemy units affected have to pass a check with that % 100-(target attack*5), if they don't pass the check they can't move until the next turn (they can still attack)) i think that it needs 3 turns cooldown
Forestwalk
Built at tcs, great tree

This way we have the elven counterpart for healer that can support by creating bridges, controlling the field and healing

[Midonik]

He mean that you can increase maximal health of those units,not spaw them.

[makazuwr32]
