Change of boar riders. IMPLEMENTED

Post by makazuwr32 »

Right now Dwarven boar riders are a bit op when combined with their alchemists and clerics but after introduction of their blacksmith upgrades they will become MOST OP cavalry units in the game:
4 turns for unit with 5 speed, 46 hp, 28 attack, 50% spell resist and 8/8 armor is too low cost.
For compare
imperial knight costs 8 turns for 6 speed, 70 hp, 27 attack, 50% spell resistand 8/8 armor
master wolf rider has for 4 turns 6 speed, 44 hp, 20 damage, 0% spell residt and 5/5 armor
Ofc after all upgrades.


I want to change all 3 into 3 completely different units with removal of upgrade techs:
1. Boar rider -> Light boar scout
Cost - 3 turns, trainable at TC
Hp - 20
Attack - 8
Armor - 1/1
Speed - 5
Sight - 8
Spell resist - 0%
2. Boar rider
Cost - 4 turns, trainable at TC
Hp - 32
Attack - 14
Armor - 2/2
Speed - 4
Sight - 6
Spell resist - 20%
3. Master boar rider -> Heavy Boar rider
Cost - 6 turns, trainable at Kingdom (for now)
Hp - 40
Attack - 20
Armor - 4/4
Speed - 4
Sight - 6
Spell resist - 35%
Need some building for their cavalry units because only light boar riders and bear riders must be in tc and others must be in that building.

Also additional upgrade for all boar riders:
Boar training:
Cost - 6 turns (researchable at cavalry building), increases speed of all 3 riders by +1.

I prefer first.

I Don't like separating in 3.

Also I see in variant 2 some stats(eg speed, Sight) are lower while cost is hight - what wouldn't be a problem be itself but other races upgrade logic doesn't follows this.
(though some "disadvantage"in normal upgrade is interesting eg. Heavy armor - slower movement)
Nor the 6 cost cav - while others after research get 4 cost ~ equal - won't help

lowering bonuses or aviable effect cud help.

As For stables" I think only when will have at least 2 more cav units.

And will bear riders get upgrades?

Second variant removes upgrades and they become 3 different units. So they don't need to follow logic of upgrades.

Black smith tech should work just fine ( first one )
( honestly its more simple than adding 2 other variants )

Both variants still require stats changing. Second variant just removes the need of upgrades for access to better variants. And second variant doesn't require of "adding" new units. They are already IN. Second variant only changes access for them.

And honestly i prefer second variant with making third tier campain only unit.

No need in both variants to change images.

Given that blacksmith techs will already upgrade the power and armor, I'd suggest having the upgrades give +8 hp (slightly higher than your 5) and +15% spell resistance, but nothing else and use the base stats described. Net result is +16 hp and 30% spell resistance, neither of which is insurmountable, yet together they give a feel of heartiness that is to be expected from dwarves. This might work best as a racial upgrade to give similar toughness buffs to other dwarves in stats that aren't covered by blacksmith techs.

Hm. Maybe as for racial upgrade is not so bad idea.
But a bit different one from other races - it won't change images of units, only their stats (spell resist and hp).

I need to rethink this because if upgrade gives additional hp than it must be balanced for each unit.

Yup
Having troop upgrades with blacksmith would make this troop super powerful.
Best way to use it without wasting other 2 images is to split into 3 units
