Sprite images? Do you mean all of the individual layers?

yes, its the only way the game allows animations, just post all the layers here i will join them

Description:The Chinese fire arrow launcher or hwacha can fire a barrage of over a 100 arrows at a time, very useful against swarms of enemies
Cost 6
Requires gun powder tech
HP 20
Atk 20 (arrow type)
Armor 0/6
Range 6
Action 1
Speed 2
Builder: siege workshop, castle

Power range 2
Damage reduction 20% per tile (deals 16 damage to adjacent area, 12 damage to two tiles away from attacked tile)
miss chance: 10% * speed of target

I have used cannoneers as a base and made this a late game unit, with higher area damage in exchange for only archer range, it is more like a ballista on steroids than a slinger on steroids

Hm.
I don't like 2 power range for it.
Otherwise looks good.

in terms of cost it is exactly equal to a cannoneer, but cannons have 8 range, this has 6, how about 1 action and 2 power range? and should it have some bonus against infantry?

Hm. 2 power range for it if it will have 1 action is fine.
As for bonuses i think it will annigilate any unit with low piercing armor anyway.

the best way to reduce its damage is to hole up 4 workers in a single tc so that only 1 dies, in which case ballista will b more effective than it

it might b especially effective against a huge army of many archers once the archers show their face, like the army u r using and I use against ships, only 2 pierce armor can save them from complete massacre

Here are the images.

And here is the last one that would not go in the last post.

Thanks a lot I will join them

Okay when can you finish it?

Something like this I guess

The shadows were messed up from belfry making gif so I will fix it later

The shadow changes automatically upon duplicated layers. Sorry!

I know, basically u just extend one image to allow space for other layers, like my image size is 160x64, allowing 5 versions of the image to b drawn (I can extend it later to allow more versions) in this way u don't need to wry about shadows, layers or gifs, the game automatically shifts the image in steps of 32 PX right at a time, allowing other versions of the image to b shown at set interval, it is also actually easier to draw, but not easy to see the changes in variants

Dang guys, you are awesome! I'm putting accepted on this now

Can someone evaluate this one to see if it is a duplicate or if it can be a good unit that is different?

Thats an automatic crossbow infantry idea not a siege machine

Yes a cho-ku-nu, someone posted idea of it too long time ago, it should b merged with the cho-ku-nu idea then

Ok thanks

No it's different in that this is a cart weapon that is a personal weapon.

I believe this is the Chinese crossbow, actually I think its ready too coolguy will u accept it?

Thanks for pointing that out

BTW I read that hwacha were also used by Koreans in naval to land warfare, basically shooting arrows to enemies on shore from their ships, so once the unit is implemented I want to suggest a tech that gives turtle ships one garrison space, and only allow hwacha to enter

probably the most late tech ever researched, gun powder, plus this tech, plus two 6 turn units that can't b built by workers, however they will b super effective against fire archer ambush in naval warfare

Also this way it can b different from other gun powder units like rebault, which can also b built by workers

It's Korean. Not Chinese.

The Chinese invented it, while Koreans reengineered it to use it on ships, they kind of had friendly relation I guess, this is y I want to suggest a tech to allow turtle ships to garrison this with one carrying capacity (but only after it is implemented in the first place)


Edit: after further readin, I guess u r right... So I m changing description

putting in!

can someone write a texting?
<string name="UNIT_TXT_HWACHA">...</string>
