Allow Orc Gigantic Units to Wade in Water

[samuelch]

My idea to increase the orcs naval power orc gigantic units like ettin and cave troll allow to wade on water. But there speed will be decreased like the undead.

[Alexander82]

I agree for gigantic units, but just in low water (the light blue one)
I think that in colored water they could have a penalty of -1 to speed
Units affected could be Ettin, Hamletback, Troll, Both Elephants

[samuelch]

But not both elephants because humans already have strong navies. By the way I don't think elephants can go that deep.

[Alexander82]

Only shallow water tough

I would make speed/2

[MightyGuy]

coo idea! not only undeads can walk on water

[Alexander82]

The idea is tha undeads walk underwater (since they doesn't need to breath, like in pirates of the carribean)
Giants would walk in water cause they can stick a good part of their body out of water

[Stratego (dev)]

can be, the drawback is that most maps dont use "deep water" so this way they can walk over "seas" too...

[Alpha]

That will be wierd

[Alexander82]

Well, i get those kind of maps like a river more than a sea, so i think it is ok for that

[Alpha]

Quick Question: What about the Ents, they don't particularly breath and they should go through water.

[DoomCarrot]

Makes sense.

Also the elves don't have any Giant units.

[Alexander82]

They have sea serpents (that are strong water melee units) and they can fight from the shores thank to their ranged units (i don't thin they need much of a powerup against sea creatures)
