Elvish Shaman upgrade: herbalist

Post by **Thrawn** » June 9th, 2005, 3:08 pm

I think it would be interesting to give an elf creature poison, and what better than an elf experienced in herb-lore. It would keep cure, have a better melee than the druid, keep thorns, but weaker slow ability.

That sounds a lot better than the druid... maybe drop the slow altogether.

On the other hand, not advancing into the flying Shyde is a disadvantage. Maybe if the herbalist is a terminal advancement...

it appears lots of people have seen, this. I want more responses-i'm new at actually giving ideas (i've been making my own troops for awhile and it's really

fun) and i like feedback.
thank you

That doesn't sound so bad. The best way towards implementation is probably to get some graphics for it now, as well as the stats of the unit. If it doesn't make it into the game, or into a good scenario, I would still like to have it in my *home* version of Wesnoth.

Graphics no problem.

(my inspirations goes back to a beautiful concept art of the new woodelf mages in Warhammer)

Slow and heal are the things which make the shaman useful and unique, 1 shaman can really sabotage a iron mauler with their slow attack, making it not be able to do 22 of its 44 damage. It is really useful used properly.

Their was no describtion how the unit should look

Well I must admit it was more a personal test if i can do something like this

I can do a description for u: Appearance:elf, clothes: like the nature, weapons: staff,... anyway take the description from the elf shaman and then change abit so it looks more powerful and upgraded.

Winner. Right there.

So...will now elves have poison

?

Yes, i know this post may not have contributed to the idea or thread, but i'm frankly quite confused with this idea.

A flying tree that wasnÃ‚Â´t intentional

Another try and if itÃ‚Â´s not used IÃ‚Â´ve got after small changes and edits some good female variations of my Aragwaith mages

That one looks really nice

I think when (IF) after 1.0.0 we will add to the game high elves, and sorceress will be removed from shaman line we can put instead of her herbalist. Just it has to be well-balanced

Thanks but well IÃ‚Â´ll first believe it until I see it at least it was some alternation
