Corpse Flinger — IMPLEMENTED

[Alexander82]

Alright then how's this?

Fling plagued corpse: rng:7, requires corpse, dmg:8, aoe:2, applies zombie infection, no bonuses.

Fling burning corpse: rng:7, requires unit, dmg:=units health, applies burning, might limit this to just undead. No aoe. Applies small bonus to structures.

One is meant for groups of enemy's, the other is meant for structures.

I think in both cases "ammo" should be restricted to zombies and the likes for the first effect and skeletons for the second (I suppose that the first uses a zombie to spread its curse and the other use the well known ability of our skeletons to take fire to burn enemy buildings).

[Savra]

That works, can we do that now though? I remember the cannon fodder had a problem with not being restricted to using goblins with its abilities.

[makazuwr32]

That was a bug i think. Someone forgot when jsoned it to add goblins as only possible sacrifices.

[Alexander82]

It was changed a lot of time ago to use goblins (probably more than a year)

initially we couldn't define the sacrifice category but now we can

[Savra]

Good to hear, so are stats and abilities good?

Updated.

[makazuwr32]

I'd say add 100% to bonuses against buildings and fortifications and 200% against megas and it will be perfect.

[Alexander82]

I'd give it the same bonus of catapult, 150%/450%/900%

About the ability bonuses I think they should be fine I guess

2nd ability depends much on @Stratego (dev) coding infection but it is fine

The unit itself won't be summoned but trainable or built (its tech might be used in place of ballistics)

I also noticed that this unit has waterwalking but it seems more like some sort of construct so maybe just land movement could be better.

About cost what about 6?

[makazuwr32]

The thing why i want to give it better than catapult bonuses is because it is unupgradable and has no aoe.

Agreed on tech and cost.

2nd ability can be implemented later.

[Alexander82]

The thing why i want to give it better than catapult bonuses is because it is unupgradable and has no aoe.

Yes but that's why it is also cheaper, moreover at base it would end up being much better than catapult

also it has 2 abilities that catapult haven't

We can also give it the eat up a corpse (even if not literally eating we can use corpses to repair it), so what it loose in terms of power it gains in survailability
