Age of Strategy Forums

Based on an old boardgame I used to play. Two ideas for the unit.

Simple Version: Has weak attack, but gets 4 attacks.

Complex Version: Has health easily divided by 4, lets just say 40 HP. For every 10 HP it has, it has an attack, so it can attack a maximum of 4 times, but gets weaker as you hurt it. This version should start out with a strong attack. Also, maybe healing it should not bring back extra attacks. (since I imagine it weird for a healer to regenerate a head....)

I prefer the Complex Version.

i prefer the complex version

me too, but we sould ask daniel xD

it should probably have on some sort of buff that gives extra attack for every 10 hp over 10
Also it should have regeneration (hydra heads regenerates over time)

Complex version sounds too...... complex
But it sounds cool either way. I agree

do you like that?

very nice image! ★★

Cool!!

Suggested stats:
Cost 6 (ground) (gem upgrade unit. Gems: 6)
Hp 72 (18 for each head)
Atk 9 (so, if it still has 4 heads: 36)
Arm/p.arm 1/1
Speed 3
Sight 5
(It regenerates 6hp per turn except if poisoned. It can regenerate heads, but if its healed by a healer, heads will not be regenerated.)

Do you think it balanced?

balanced

ettins could be stronger than this unit so i think it's balanced

make units for scaledfolk weaker than orcs, not all...

Balanced

ettins cost 8 and it has a similar damage and has no regeneration. i suggest bringing its cost to 8 too

btw i edited the image to make the 2nd head more defined

Fine Image! Nice one!

Btw, are ettins can trample? btw,i will agree (cost 8 is good but i dont know if skelegonsans,midonik, or worker agrees that.

yes, but they don't regenerate, i think it is balance for them to have the same cost. also this one can attac 4 weak units in the same turn and kill tem (like half dead units and so on) so it is potentially more deadly xD

Think it cool.

I guess ur right alex... 8 cost is nice for these stats.

I agree

they agreed your opinion.

It is settled then

Btw, where's the Stats?

Here. But cost is 8 instead of 6.

Welp, now we just wait until scaledfolk are implemented.

Implemented.
Hydra looses 1 head, 50 hp and 1 action with each "death". It can regenerate head on its own for 4 turns.
