Regarding spells and mage attacks
Regarding spells and mage attacks
So I was thinking of two things considering that future units most likely will be along the lines of mages, siege, heroes, buildings and sea. The two being in this topic:
1)Certain mages melee attack.
2)offensive spells and spell resist.
1)Mages melee attack-
Some mages need an alternative melee attack rather then trying to hit the enemy maybe just give them a magic spark for basic attack. This only applies to certain mages without a weapon e.g. Mage and orc shaman.
Here's the spark.
2) I'll explain later...

Re: Regarding spells and mage attacks
That was the principle of the magic arrow spell, anyway I think that mages are already good as they are and they should be mainly useless without their spells
Some exceptions are the warmage, the bladesinger the cleric and the druid that are hybrid melee/casters (in D&D they are called gishes) ant they are meant to be costly units because they are skilled in both magic and fighting and generally use their magic more as a support effect that a main attack

No, no, no, they would still suck at melee, this just gives them a different melee attack for certain units without weapons. Right now an orc shaman has aoe 1 and shoots an arrow and troll shaman shoots an arrow too. I'll show you the units that I had in mind:
Mage
Warlock
Troll shaman
Orc shaman
Necromancer
Lich
And I believe that's all. It would still be considered a melee attack but just a different look to make things reasonable.

Re: Regarding spells and mage attacks
Ah.
Just different looking melee attack without changes in stats?
Than i will support this idea.

Re: Regarding spells and mage attacks
I agree, it does look wierd to see a mage attacking with an arrow.
Beware the calm before the Tempest. . .
Re: Regarding spells and mage attacks
Agreed but how many units is that to change attack sprite?
And does this have sound or no?

Re: Regarding spells and mage attacks
It is possible to add a arrow-like animation to their melee attacks anyway
