Lancer - IMPLEMENTED

[Sunrise Samurai]

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.

[draakjee]

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

[Sunrise Samurai]

*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.

[draakjee]

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

[Alexander82]

I'd like to see my heavy lancer in AOF too

[Alexander82]

still interested?

[Sunrise Samurai]

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.

[LordOfAles]

Im interested, but then they need new design

[Alexander82]

I know who's going to make it xD

[LordOfAles]

Yep! (You?)

[Alexander82]

Yeah xD

[Puss_in_Boots]

Heavy lancer looks like it would blend in just fine. Only rededign the first level.

[Lawrence]

I could try to make a picture of this.
Wait for my desgin please!

[Lawrence]

Sorry, I can't make nice horses in pixel art.

[LordOfAles]

Idea: scrap the idea

Lets give elves a lancer!

[Puss_in_Boots]

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.

[Sunrise Samurai]

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

That's why i've created them xD

[Sunrise Samurai]

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.

[Alexander82]

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)

[Sunrise Samurai]

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.

[Puss_in_Boots]

First level done?

[General Brave]

Lancer?

[Tankhead]

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

[General Brave]

Bring it in.

[Alexander82]

I'll make a fantasy version of my lancer in the next days.

[General Brave]

Great to hear.

[Alexander82]

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
but Do we really need 3 levels?
