This is definitely Pudge from Dota can't u think of anything original and clever? (meant no offence tho)

[makazuwr32]

Not from DotA but from one of my favourite WC3 maps.
becides this IS original for AoF.

[godOfKings]

Actually in wc3 the abomination cannot throw hooks, only in dota they have the ability to throw hooks, at this rate I think age of Warcraft will get dissolved into AOF

[makazuwr32]

I didn't say that in original WC3.
I said

from one of my favourite WC3 maps.

There was a Butcher boss in one of maps similar to the Diablo's one.
And from it this idea came.

Don't go off topic pls

[makazuwr32]

Still i think that undeads need some another ways for gaining good units apart from summoning dragons and training.
and because of i think that this Butcher mecanic would be pretty intresting thing especially with the combo of Gargantuan zombies: you'll use zombie who raises another zombies to get them to your ghouls to create Butchers. and sometimes you can get a powerful Throwing-allies-at everyone-and-especially-at-buildings A-bit-larger-than-usual Gargantuan Zombie.

Hi,
I tryed an image bit its more the zombie/ghoul
Crossover then a butcher. (Or atleast as my Imagination of a butcher in a fantasy topic)

Patroid

[LordOfAles]

Image looks ok, althou i can't see the body parts very well

[patroid]

Hi,
Im heavyli short-sighted so i can see everything clear, so what has to be more defined?

Is something too small?
Or is there not enough dark/light difference?
Or is Sonething deformed?

Where the exact problem?

Patroid

[LordOfAles]

Im having trouble identyfing the chest and the head

[patroid]

Hi,
Well its a ghoul soul wrappig around a chest.
The image contains nothing but chest and had!?
Maybe try to scale the image up in a pixel art programm and its more clear.

However i translated butcher more or less with a creature that slains tons of enemys with no effort in someone who massacres tons of enemys.

The other common translation is the guy who kills animals for making meat. I nade a war ready version for it.

Personally i thought about something like this:


Or this:

[makazuwr32]

But without horns.

[patroid]

Chek my second image wich i posted while you wrote your post. It fots your inspiration.

Patroid

[makazuwr32]

Maybe a bit larger?
64x32 size?

[makazuwr32]

Updated stats.

Also can someone make a bigger version of this image?

[Dagravian]

Made a small, but significant change. Just added legs to it

butcher2.2.png

[makazuwr32]

that looks much better.

[General Brave]

Far better looking with legs.

[Lynx Shafir]

The previous one looked like an arachnid whit tiny spider legs.

2 tiles is not op for the explosion? I think 1 but in a square around it would be enough.

[makazuwr32]

1. all fireballs have same range.
2. 2 tiles away from this unit. range is same as any unit with range 2 of attack. also range of spell itself is 0.

[General Brave]

Basically he will hurt himself.

[makazuwr32]

he kills himself in that explosion. you are sacrificing him for that.
also this effect applies on death of this unit and when he vanishes away.

[General Brave]

So like a goblin.

[makazuwr32]

not exactly - goblin just hurts himself this one kills himself (deals 1000 damage to himself) for this ability with range 0. this ability autoapplies when he dies/vanishes.

[General Brave]

I see.

[Lynx Shafir]

Where's trained./gained?

[Savra]

You can't train it you must use 1 ghoul and 4 zombies to create it. Plus a research.
