Dwarf Royal Halberdier - IMPLEMENTED

[samuelch]

Tough dwarf anti cavalry unit. Wearing a spiked helmet (pickelhaube) and wield an enemoure halberdier. One theory says that the spike on a pickelhaube purpose is to deflect saber attack from upward so this unit will have a very high normal armor and tough against cavalry charge.

Short body of the dwarf=it's easier for cavalry to strike from upward. it's easier for cavalry to strike from upward + pickelhaube=hard to kill.

[Menselot]

Good idea besides dwarfs need an anti-cavarly unit

[Sunrise Samurai]

very high normal armor

So you mean like just about any other dwarf infantry? I think dwarves won't be all that short when it comes to armor

[LordOfAles]

Bro your puns keep stacking

[Menselot]

will you make some stats ?
if not
I can upload some stats and images that I have made

[General Brave]

You must have hit him with archers!

[Menselot]

Hit with archers what ?

[Menselot]

Do we still need this unit ? We have Chunook

I would really like to see it being added.

Maybe not "royal" but mithril halberdier?

[Menselot]

Yes royal sounds human and we need a DWARF !!!

[makazuwr32]

Mithril billman?

[LordOfAles]

No, not billman. We need to keep "billman" part for its upgrades if there will be any. Why not just Mithril Guardian?

[Menselot]

No it must sound more something

Also his name the world "mithril" is not necessary lol

[Menselot]

No, not billman. We need to keep "billman" part for its upgrades if there will be any. Why not just Mithril Guardian?

I like it

[makazuwr32]

I want mithril because i want a mithril elite units pack.
Like for elves sentinel pack, for humans imperial, for orcs uruk and for undeads phantoms.

[LordOfAles]

Names don't have to be same as their normal variants. For example Imperial Shielder and Swordsman

[Savra]

How about Mithiril Phalanxs, like in Lord of the rings BFME2? I did look it up to make sure that wasn't the only reference.

[General Brave]

We can have a whole Elites of Mithril units.

[makazuwr32]

there is a plan of 'em in my list already. but first we need their blacksmith techs ingame!

[General Brave]

Can you make the list, I did want to see it.

[makazuwr32]

in general i want to add: pike-like unit, shielded unit, with mace one. everyone will be melee only (pike-like will get reach upgrade) and no ranged (mithril is pretty heavy metal and it is hard to use it for a ranged unit's armor because they need more free armor)

also no cavalry.

About stats and names i am thinking and i am open for name suggestions.

[General Brave]

Sounds good.

[Savra]

Ya I guess they don't need ranged mithiril guard considering how the sharpshooter basically fulfilled that role as a ranged elite unit.Here's without having to be a mouthful guard himself.

halberdiers are implemented
