Just like Thracian Falxman but is focused on Buildings.

This unit represents a group of soldiers equipped with tools or weapons that is effective against structures, thus a weakening effect that is focused on buildings. The effect can be fixed by units with Mend.

But for the sake of its effectiveness in the particular area

Thanks.

For stats, i'd remove 0.5 heal bonus. It is not an elite unit of some kind so i think it is best to have it as 1.0.
I'd rather make it a 3 turn unit though, for easy and cheap stacking for the sake of the on-hit effect it has.

The effect it self is nothing much to do, cause most of the simple structures has atmost 4/~ armour. And it is usually anti buildings that we use in case, so the effect is at a nill chance to be considered.

That is true, the on-hit effect only will go do good in weakening structures for other melee units.
If the effect won't be considered by Endru then a change in stats is good.

Maybe your stats a little nerfed but adding Splash damage to it.

Btw, i edited the on-hit ability to affect armoured siege machines. It should make the ability a little useful.

The effect i suggested in my architect, ie, reducing p.armour will be much more useful. But seems that topic went to smithereens.

I think reducing Pierce armor in structures is a bad idea so i didn't make Demolisher's on-hit effect reduce pierce armor.
