Wind gale

Post by MrLich »

The idea is a support spell that pushes enemy land unit(giants too big, machines too, dunno how about cavalry) back 2 or maybe 3 tiles back, although cannot push units into, or through tiles they cannot cross(also it might be a good idea to take tile movement modifiers on units to take into account)

Also maybe deal small damage if there is a collision(like mountain tile, or other unit behind, maybe even both units take small damage then, propably the same if theres a building behind)

Idea is good, possibility is impossible right now engine wise.
Will require lots of coding from stratego.

1. Pushing back: this is moving another from caster unit. Requires coding from stratego.
2. Collapse with obstacles through which unit can't move: will require coding from stratego.
3. Dealing damage upon collapsing with obstacle: will require coding from stratego (alas i think this one will be easiest among 3 points.

Probably will be delayed up until we will get unity version.
The more stratego will work on engine the more unity version will be delayed.

Not that this prevents us from ideas collection.

Also if theres so much work on just one spell of this type, it might be a good idea to expand it to more similar effects, like pulling units in(grappling Hook for example) or knockback(melee attack ability that pushes enemies back on top of dmg), though pulling in 3 spaces forward is propably too op

Yes after required code for this spell is implemented it might be used for other spells and abilities as well. Why not.

Doesn't seem like a bad idea, course engine limitations yes, is a thing, (soon will be a thing of the past most likely), but still nonetheless.

As for helping jsoning, for now I'm trying to get some things finished first on dwarves, but I usually use total commander for jsoning.

However, it's Stratego who you must ask for assets first.
