Neorice's Unit Thread! (I need attention; you can give!!)

Post by **Neoriceisgood** » October 1st, 2005, 6:28 pm

For all you cute and intolerably silly people here's a preview with what I'm doing next; The One!

The only!

Neoricce's faction 2.0! (Drakes was 1.0 for those unfamiliar with my contribution to Wesnoth.)

This is what I did today for a Chaos/ Evil human people/ Look I have a rhino- faction,

First is a normal melee soldier line that branches off in big defence or big damage;

Second is the Ulfzerker's human adversary, with all new and improved Impact Berzerker.

Last in the row is the silly demon dog that turns more and more tough and evil as he levels! (wooh!)

Above all that I've also added a really really tough champion (on hors!) just because he looks really cool;

any ideas for other units that'd fit this type of faction would be appreciated; Though I may note that they're not really range based (except for mages) because "Brutally slaughter" and "Arrows" just don't mix that well.

Ranged doesn't necessarily imply arrows (consider, for example, the Drakes and Rocklobbers). I'd love to see something with a ranged slashing attack (think whirling blades of death).

Yeah, but most of those type of attacks come from mages; whom I noted as exception on their range rule.

1- Shurikens
2- thrown axes
3- really really long polearms (:P)
4- magical flying sword (what's the name from DnD?)
5- long tentacle-held blades

3 and 5 are somewhat silly
1, 2 and 4 could easily be used by a chaotic human/demon faction

6. shakra - a circular one edged blade, either frown like a frisbee with a sideway swing or rotated around the hand up to speed and then released.
7. blade-bola
8. spiked balls
9. bomerang

7 blade range that slows?
8 would be impact or pierce
9 would be impact

Boomerang would be blade, one of the points is supposed to go inside the body of your target, just like any knife, except that this one flies, and if built correctly, returns when you miss

So that it hits you instead! If you want to brutally slaughter someone with a ranged attack, I have several options:

An incredibly strong guy with an incredibly long polearm;
A "Great Leap" attack;
A huge rock to be thrown;
A grenade thrower!

Brutally slaugther ....
Throwing a "whirling too large thing to really be thown with many razor blades"...Add some fantasy not use the old boring real-life weapons.

My god, I just ment they didn't have any real range-based units just like dwarves; Must you guys REALLY have to do this to my thread? ;(

I guess we got side-tracked! Anyway they would look really silly with boomerangs.

What do you plan for the mages? Really evil things I hope! Something more than fireball or lightning bolt. Drain is already used a lot but would fit. Can melee attacks be magical? That would be very nice.

We only do it because we care...

I read on a thread here that Neorice has left...is that true?
cos if your still here Neorice can you make a Raistlin Majere character? I can't think of anyone better to do it. Hehe it pretty safe to say he doesn't need a death animation...
This is because I'm gonna make a campaign based on the DragonLance-Legends book series. I saw your deathriders and I'm gonna use them as Lord Soths Death Knight mates. So I reckon you could do Raistlin well.
