Merlock leader - IMPLEMENTED

[Savra]

I honestly don't see why we should the the merlock upgrade into the orc upgrade. Uruks are understandable but merlocks I don't think so, they're their own race.

[Alexander82]

Cause they are a subrace

I was thinking to use the orc/goblin techs and use the merlock tech as "water units upgrade"

[makazuwr32]

use the merlock tech as "water units upgrade"

Like previous raptor and wolf rider upgrades became now cavalry upgrade for orcs, right?

But this won't solve this problem

The only problem is that I want to avoid having a +3 aura plus a +2 aura (that might happen if you keep the merlocks to elite level while keep the orcs to master level).

[Alexander82]

There are 2 solutions:

1) they will use exactly the same techs, this way they will upgrade together.

2) their auras will have a different effect (like level 1 + attack, level 2 +1 water speed to all merlocks, level 3 +1 land speed to all merlocks, but we might think of something different)

[Savra]

Whichever is easiest for you.

[Midonik]

Alexander proposed different aura for them.

[Savra]

Ya, I know, that's just a placeholder, besides it's set as pending.

[makazuwr32]

Also. No range increase for aura.
All auras must have range 4.
7 range is a bit waaay too much.

[Savra]

That's the actual range of the orc leaders auras. I checked it.

[Tankhead]

Then its just another thing to correct for Orcs

[makazuwr32]

7 range of aura for orc king? Lol.

[Savra]

Alright, did a quick read through and it seems their was 2 options for the merlock leader.

There are 2 solutions:

1) they will use exactly the same techs, this way they will upgrade together.

2) their auras will have a different effect (like level 1 + attack, level 2 +1 water speed to all merlocks, level 3 +1 land speed to all merlocks, but we might think of something different)

Which do you prefer.

[makazuwr32]

I don't want higher speed for merlocks.
So better variant is 1.

[Savra]

Alright so I'll just update it and lower range at final to 4.

[Savra]

And now I take it he's ready?

[Alexander82]

Yes, all merlocks will use the same techs as normal orcs (we might use the current techs for something else or simpy remove it)
