Soul Dealer — ARCHIVED

[LordOfAles]

Basicaly same stats as Money Courier,but

Ability:When he pays a mercenary,he needs to sacrifice an corpse,and then get back to merc to pay him.Doesnt dissapear
Cost:3
Speed:4

I made this unit because im planning some undead mercs

[Sunrise Samurai]

Wait....a money courier with upkeep? Nobody even uses the regular money courier as it is. Why make a worse one?

[LordOfAles]

Because this one isnt dissapearing after payout,and shades need only 1 turn to make.think about it

[Sunrise Samurai]

Okay. Makes a little more sense. Only problem then is if/when spirit tower makes it in, or using clockspinning on him.

[LordOfAles]

Then might as well as add simple new effect:Soul Resupply(paid with shade,+1)

[Sunrise Samurai]

No vanishing​, but he transforms into a "soul hunter" when he pays out. Soul hunter can sacrifice an adjacent corpse to become soul dealer again. It effectively keeps in undead theme that corpses are production value.

[LordOfAles]

Soul resupply icon

[LordOfAles]

But that would be completely useless if its Undead vs Undead,the previous idea is good for all races

[Sunrise Samurai]

Not so much actually. Grave digger now makes corpses, so undead aren't screwed for corpses against themselves anymore.

[LordOfAles]

Ok,but do you think we an new need an image for soul hunter,or just soul dealer without flask?

[Sunrise Samurai]

Remove flask, add net.

[LordOfAles]

Or remove flask,give green fire to skull on the stick?Showing that it isnt only decoration

[LordOfAles]

Like it?

[LordOfAles]

I would like to hear what others think of this

[Midonik]

Sounds... strange and complicated,but mayby it will work and even be usefull,idk.

[Sunrise Samurai]

It's a way to convert corpses into production off bigger units than skeletons

[Puss_in_Boots]

The image could use animation for the flames, since it is found naturally in most unit images with flames.

We still need the soul hunter image.

My stats proposal:
Soul dealer,
Hp:14/14
Attack:4
Armor:0
Armor pierce:0
Speed:3
Sight:4

Soul hunter,
Hp:18/18
Attack:8
Armor:0
Armor pierce:3
Speed: 4
Sight:6

[LordOfAles]

Sorry i dont know how to animate

When in soul hunter mode he should not change much,he is just hunting for souls

[LordOfAles]

Oh and 4 speed makes more sense.Stats updated

I may have overdone the flame effects.

[Puss_in_Boots]

I don't know why it shows up in that size...

[Sunrise Samurai]

Looks great to me. The size is a *little* off though

[LordOfAles]

Is that 5d?

[LordOfAles]

Made a "much" smaller image

Image updated

[Alexander82]

Just to make sure. Is this to remove vanishing? The necromancer can already do that at no cost.

As far from production i guess it is still better to reanimate corpses than using them to gain a single turn production.

[LordOfAles]

No, i thought two different effects: vanishing and leaving

Summoned monsters will vanish, but mercenaries leave if not paid, not affected by necro or spirit tower, only by soul dealer

[Alexander82]

But we haven't undead mercenaries

[LordOfAles]

But we can implement!

Example:

[Alexander82]

I might be blunt but I can't really see an undead working for money...

xD

[LordOfAles]

Souls lol
