Sounds like a producable hero unit , doesnt he? Well wait till you hear his fee- he charges 1 money carrier to work for you for 2 turns. If you donot give him money continuously he will go away(dies)
I think it is well balanced and perfect for immediate protection from an ambush
It will also increase usefulness of money lenders

How would this money lender thing work?

There will be some indication when the last turn of the knight's hiring begins on the knight. Within that turn and the next(an extra turn to take the money lender near him as he is too weak and might get killed if it gets too close)you have to get a money lender on the just adjAcent tile of the knight. When the turn ends, the money lender dies, and the knight is yours again for two turns

Makes sense, I like it

Yes it will make an awesome addition to the game

Cool basic premise of a unit but what if instead of money unit having to follow. You must have money courier in Castle in order to produce him? Basically set his build time to say 12 but must have 3 money couriers in the castle.

What is a money courier? And i did not understand what you are suggesting
I will clear my stand- it is a veryfast producable very strong unit which can be produced only if you already have a money lender ADJACENT to the tc. It will work for you for two turns per each money lender

Edit - i understand what you mean(money courier =money lender) but as i said , it should be fast producable while your suggestion will make it a bit slow also, i dont want it to become an op unit hence you continuously should be able to pay him to keep him alive

Coolguy ?? can someone try to make an image?
any more takers of this idea?

I think it is an interesting concept. It is a cool idea for money lenders, but I don't know how soon the mechanic of paying the mercenary can be implemented.

Well pretty soon because aof already has this mechanism eg for the orc cannon

That has bugs in it. jk I had forgotten about that.

Can someone make an image? Alex/patroid pls try it
I think you can modify the hero knight a bit and make him more cool for this unit's image

Hey coolguy can you ask elven princess to do it? Others seem to be away

Okay she did. How is this?

If it is not the way that you imagined, let us know any specific edits.

Remove the shield and the other thing and replace both by long swords. I imagined it like that

ok

That is actually a sick image though, maybe it can be used for another unit in the future

YAHHH!
*peasant rabble grab sharp farming implements and run at DoomCarrot*

lol my army be coming.

How is this image? Two swords!

Good but both swords look like rapiers, make them a bit thicker. Also do some changes to the horse too aS he is looking plain

swords: ok, we will try for more broadswordlike

horse: what kind of changes?

Its completely black, it has to have some cloth cover, with some folds and shades. Thanks again

Okay, do you like any of these?

Or this?

I dont know what is wrong with the horse, and though this looks good, i think there is something wrong with the stripes. Maybe removing them from the head and neck will solve the problem. Rest all are perfect- swords,man everything

Cool guy??

Very nice, the images are very very... Pretty.
