Condottiero IMPLEMENTED

[Squirrel5555]

Heavy mercenary infantry as I dont think there is an infantry mercenary in the game yet. Stats along the lines of the foot knight, or maybe weaker but with less damage taken from gunpowder units and more damage done to them (like AOE 2).

If the 'cultures' plan makes it into this game it could become a special unit but i thought i could fill a different role for now.

I attached an image i made really quickly (it still needs improvement) just as an example, so suggest your own sprites and ideas if you want

Aos needs more mercenary units and condottiero is a good idea. I like it, i have played aoe too...

[Squirrel5555]

Updated sprite a bit with team colours.
Genoese and Condottiero go hand in hand (especially when cultures are added) and they both can be powerful mercanaries, so I attached my Genoese crossbowman sprite reskin.

Maybe it can be used for something else, since the Genoese crossbowman is getting a different sprite rework.

made some more improvements

[L4cus]

I thought about stats
Cost 2
Leaving 2
Hp 26
Attack 11
Range 1
Armr 1/2 - 1/3
Speed 3-4 ( if more speed, less armor)
Sight 5

Bonus v buildings(worse than swordman line)
Bonus v ranged 50%
Bonus v siege 100%
Bonus v siege armored and gunpowder units 200%
Bonus v gunpowder siege 350%

[Squirrel5555]

Speed 3 because it is infantry unit
Maybe make it a new unit type which takes less damage from gunpowder or maybe even siege in general?

Also stats could maybe be increased, disband knights is also 2 turns cost and 2 turns leaving but MUCH stronger and faster than what you propose. Maybe make it closer to elite foot knight?
Thanks for the input

[L4cus]

So, new stats
Cost 2
Leaving 3
Hp 28
Attack 12
Range 1
Armor 1/3
Speed 3
Sight 5

About speed, some infantry units have 4 speed like highlander

[Squirrel5555]

Looks better, maybe speed 4 but we would need to wait for someone higher up to choose
