New unit:Rhino

Post by lordenderman02 »

I think that a war rhino is a good idea because the war elephant exist and a unit faster than the elephant but with less hp is useful for example the rhino can has 70 HP, 15 or 20 of ATK, 1 of range, and more faster than a elephant and he can costs 7 turn or 6.

You should scroll to the more bottom paragraphs.

According to this guy, rhinos apparently couldn't be trained for war. With the way their mind works they were sadly not fit to be mounts nor be sent out to crush the enemy. Which would sadly, make this unit historically inaccurate. :(

However, this is not a bad idea for mounted units...

It might actually fit into the fantasy version with some more changes into the stats. as it is more mythical than it is realistic. :mrgreen:

This idea as an animal for military use suggests it could have tough armor, and maybe have good damage.

Option A: It could be costly, let's say eight, but have these stats
Hp:100
Speed: 3
Attack: 18
Defense: 6
Armor pierce: 8
Range: 1
Sight: 3 (They have poor eye sight)

Option B: It can be more of an assault unit for cost 6

Hp: 45
Armor:5
Speed: 4
Sight: 4
Armor pierce: 4
Attack: 12
Action:2
Range: 1

It is a good idea, but I just think it fits into AoF better after doing some quick research. :)

I think an elven one would work too, so they would have more brutes that aren't the slower ents. ;)
