Harpoonman

[count_dcinamon]

What about unit lkke crossbowman, but instead crossbow, he use harpoon with rope attached to it?

So after attack, the enemy will move toward the harpoon man 1 square. If theres something in its way, the drag effect cancelled, but instead get some extra damage.

Note : update about stats and other will be added soon, share your thought

Ik this is an old topic,but idea is unique

Obviously the effect would only work if the unit COULD move a space in the harpoonman's direction? (no buildings or obstacles in the way).

Also, how would this work? Would the effect happen at the same time that fire/poison is calculated? How many turns does the effect last?

I feel that the weapon should have a rope on it if we plan on giving it this happening effect.

I think the effect works better as a throw it once, and it moves the unit closer at the same turn, if it worked like fire, or poison then the player would have to option to move away at that turn.

It shouldn't be strong enough to move cavalry, not can it's harpoon pierce job flesh and blood units, so buildings, cav, and machines should be immune.

Lastly, about the image, I am pretty sure harpoon were thrown and not shot from a crossbow back then. The guy holding it does look great however.

Why can't a harpoon damage units at least? Harpoons are basically just spears with ropes attached to them, I see no reason why a harpoon should do any less damage than a spear, even if it attacks something that it can not "pull"

I really need to turn auto correct off.

I never said they received no damage, just no pull effect on units that are immune.

[DoomCarrot]

Oh ok.
