templar/hospitaller design

[Alexander82]

Human clerics are priest and missionary that are pure casters and use staves/scepters

As I told before I like templars with swords because I think that hystorically they used swords (they were a knightly order).

I know this is a fantasy game so I think we might switch to hammers making them more cleric/paladin oriented but it is mostly a cosmetic thing.

Also I was thinking to switch colors on hospitalers knights (they wear red capes with white crosses)

[Alexander82]

red hospitallers

I was thinking...

What about 4 different units?

Templar and mounted templar = white surcoat and red cross

Hospitaller and mounted hospitaller = red surcoat and white cross

Templars might have lower healing abilities but higher bonus against undeads and demons

Hospitaller might have wider selection of support spell and equip maces but will have bonus only against skeletons

[Midonik]

Sounds cool actually.

[makazuwr32]

Not bad idea but i don't like 3 tiers for them.
Also paladins must be (i think) as their officers without tiers while hospitaliers and templars are regular units.

[Alexander82]

I prefer to make all basic human regular units to be 3 tiers aside from very special units (warmages, barbarians, paladins and so on)

[makazuwr32]

I want to see these ones as special units as well (not so special as paladins but more special than basic ones).
Also we can expand these "holy warriors" into full sub for humans.

[StormSaint373]

That's kinda what high Men are. . .

[makazuwr32]

Nono.
High men are a bit different.

These ones are still humans.
High men are not so humans so they will have higher stats.
Also high men can be a part of these holy warriors. As imperials right now for normal humans high men can be for templars/paladins and other holy warriors.

[StormSaint373]

Oh, i see.

Nice analogy!

Hospitallers and Templars

Quick Question...

Besides appearance, which is emaculant by the way, what it the functional difference between Templars and Hospitallers?

[Savra]

Yay, the holy orders here. Now all we need is the palidin and the Inquisitor and we'll be set.

Ones better at healing while the others better at combat.

Basically said here.

What?

Sometimes I hope I can read a topic without any hints of a new race being planned

[Lynx Shafir]

Now, with update, they can't even Heal

[Alexander82]

This is strange. They shouldn't be in game yet

[makazuwr32]

He means current templars ported from aos.

[Alexander82]

I didn't touch that json though

[Savra]

I didn't touch that json though

As of late, I don't think you have to touch them the game hampers with them for you just to give you something to do

I think it wants attention.

[General Brave]

Tell him to calm down.

[StormSaint373]

When can these units be implemented?

[Alexander82]

I hope in the next update

[StormSaint373]

Me too, I have a campaign that needs them.

[General Brave]

I think so as well once we figure out a different way to add them.

[Lynx Shafir]

I think so as well ask me figure out a different way to add them.

Map editor?

And if keep all those lvl make a pack what upgrades all.
But 1 think 1 lv max is enough for a holy unit cos is not a core fighter.

So how much different unit are here -?

[Savra]

4.

[StormSaint373]

Do we have stats for the AoF Templars and Hospitallers? If not, I'll make them...

[Savra]

We don't.
I believe the Hospitalers were meant to only have bonus to skeletons and maybe zombies but their main strength was their healing. Templars main strength was their combat capabilities.
