Orc unit: giant marksman - IMPLEMENTED

Post by Sunrise Samurai »

7 cost
25 life
15 attack, area dmg and hits melee armor
12 range, inaccurate to the point it has a 1/9 chance to hit anything, even a building. This means an equal chance to hit the target or any square around it.
2 movement

The most accurate rock hurler in the giant clans, he prides himself on being able to almost hit a castle every time.

Orc artillery, the least accurate unit in the game but has area dmg and extreme range to make up for it. Best used to hit massed units or hurl and hope a rock hits a building.

Why don't we make it a troll?
Like a cave troll from LotR?
I might edit my troll image to make it hurl a rock

We might use both a troll with a spiked metal ball and a giant with rocks.
One could be an heavyer ranged siege unit while the other one could deal area damage and have more bonus against flying units

Trolls should already be able to hurl rocks though...

Do you mean like a special ability? It would be great to add a new tech that allows the trolls to switch to a ranged mode

I love this idea. Orc are indeed lacking an effective catapult. I would say this or the very weak fodder cannon needs a buff but It is something they are lacking indeed
