Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
1.Shieder is a 2 cost unit!
2.That armor n hp is too high for that cost - also gets blacksmith
As for an elite defender unit I think I proposed stg.
Wud need some mechanics
-(auto)attack on enemy turn - (ability proposed for aoww)
-guard - takes dmg instead of selected unit
-first strike (we have this one)

Thy gave me a sword to pierce a lie,
Serrated edge for the deamon inside
A moment I'm torn between two tides,
But all I need, I bear inside

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
Well, that's following the same upgrade pattern as previous 2.
Besides, tis an upgrade.
So like an extra 6-8 turns to research.

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
If it gets 3rd tier upgrade I would reduce base HP of defender to +4 (22 hp),
So this would have 26 hp
Also armor is actually
1/5
3/6
5/7

Defender -> Tower/ Vanguard
Instead of using kite shields, tower uses a tower shield, and can move latitudaly and longitudinaly across the entire chess board but not diagonally.
Of course, the name "tower" would be confusing, I plan to name this unit "Vanguard," and at third stage they will be able to block more blows to the legs with their tower shields.
Stat change from Defender
+2 hp, armor, pierce
I read that vanguards were typically the leading force of the army that fights first, so I'm wondering about giving it +1 speed.

Re: Defender -> Tower/ Vanguard
Actually I planned to keep the knight vanguard name for heavy shield knight upgrade, but defender can also keep vanguard name, or heavy defender can work
I guess vanguard name can also work as the first line of soldiers in formation defending against charging enemies so vanguard for footman, while knight vanguard for charging heavy shield cavalry is the best choice

Re: Defender -> Tower/ Vanguard
Defender fills completely different role than vanguard - it protects position, not advances.
In the original Defender upgrade topic there was already proposition for 2nd upgrade with name - Guardian.
I think it fits much better.
But there is still much more important question - does defender need upgrade?
Let's look at stats of similar infantry - swordsmen
Swordsman/Broad Swordsman/Man-at-arms shielder/defender
HP 18 / 21 / 23 18 / 24
power 8 / 11 / 14 6 / 9
armor 0 / 0 / 1 1 / 3
p.armor 0 / 0 / 0 5 / 6
Shielder gets +6hp, +3 power and +2/1 armors - it's similar to what swordsman gets in two upgrades!
26 hp, 9 power, 5/8 armor is stronger than 4 turns foot knight (22 hp, 10 power, 4/3 armor) even with slower speed it's not good.
If we add tower shield "Guardian" we could make Defender stats hp 21, power 8, 2/5 armor and change upgrade time to 3 turns.
It would be similar to adding guisarmeman and Lancer upgrade (but with them there was also image and name change).
Recently I toned down most powerful units (for their cost), so there is no need to make any new one balanced to old stats.

Oh, never remembered such topic, it'd be best to merge them for simplicity's sake.

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
we can nerf defender stats
hp 22 (+4 from 18)
armor 2/6
then guardian would b
hp 26
armor 3/7
atk 12
(physical armor remains same, but p.armor and hp increases a bit along with damage)
we could also make swordsman upgrade increase +4 damage instead of 3, then basic 8 ->12 ->16 power

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
That could work.
But instead of increasing both swordsman and shielder upgrades power, why not do just 6/8/10.
Reminder: I added them Full Counter ability in the last update (2x counterattack damage in the new way of counter damage calculation).

I think shield shape change would be nice, as puss suggested.
Maybe a little more armor.

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
Great color scheme. I had in mind a tower shield, which should be tall and rectangular.

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
the hp should be 27 to 30, because the difference between tier 2 and tier 3 from 2 from 24 to 26 is very little and the damage could be at maximum 11, this unit is more focused on enduring damage than causing

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
Kinda like the first guardian shield design best, the rectangular one reminds me too much of Roman Legionnaire.

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
I kind of agree here, it looks too much like the praetorian, best to keep the shield design same as older tiers to keep consistency, its not like guardian has any relation with towering shields that changing shield design should b a must...

Re: Guardian (tier 3 shielder)
Nope.
I just forgot about this unit.
I'll add him in the way disscussed, soon (assuming the memory will suffice this time).
Should have kept some list of things ready.
