Who else but the goblins would have the brilliant plan to take highly volatile gases that are lighter than air and bag them, then tether a platform underneath. And nobody would be dumb enough to attach a fire ballista on to this rig.... except maybe, more goblin ingenuity.

Cost 12
Built by goblin slaves, so it's 4 slaves taking 3 turns.
Hp: 25 (weakness to fire based attacks)
Power: 5 (flaming weapon, bonus damage against buildings and ships)
Range: 4
Armor: 0/0
Movement: 5 (flying)
Carries: 2
When destroyed, spawns a radius 3 fireball effect.

It's a useful troop transport that can defend itself, with a built in bomb....... unfortunately​ your opponent can set the bomb off too, in a much less convenient place. Used properly, it can be quite useful to move troops to the front lines, make them run away, then delete it to blow up the enemy. Used poorly, and your enemy takes a fire archer or two after it in the middle of your army while it's holding two ettins.

Lower the cost.Nobody would train a 12 turn unit just to blow it up lol

It's 12 turns built by workers, not buildings, so relatively not that bad. It's also something other than towers for them to make, so I'm going to say yes, they would, since orcs are very lacking in that department.

i cant believe i skipped that part...

Lol makes a difference doesn't it.
.

Haha yes

Anyway, anyone have any other remarks? Pic ideas? Etc.

I think that noone would make such a unit when with the same cost you can make a ettin and half xD

It really isn't the same as an ettin and a half, unless ettins are now grown by goblin slaves from the soil like pea shooters

But how much would that cost in a building? Every unit that is made by worker is also made in buildings (the time needed for workers to make one depends mostly on hp and bonusmending).

We could reduce the cost. What would you suggest?

I need to compare it with other flyers

I believe this is nearly similar to Dwarven Zeppelin And Dwarves Zeppilin Carrier Already Posted on the Dwarf Race section

yes, mabe we should drop this one.

You don't like that? It is mostly a cliche.

you mean it is a must on goblin race?

ok! than keep it.

sure xD

I remember that someone made a nice image for a small zeppelin in the dwarven topic

Since i've made already a badass zeppelin for dwarves we might use the small one for goblins.

I dont see any other image than yours and mine oh***howuglyisthat try xD

mightyguy posted a different zeppelin topic (zeppelin carrier)

Oh ok.

Here it is

Wow really nicer. We might use that for an upgrade of the unit.

You know, I was more thinking about Warcraft II, not World of Warcraft. Same difference I guess I just played a bit more strategy games than MMORPG games.

Yeah me too but when I've found this image I had to show it to Daniel xD

Is it going to benefit from "Goblins to elite goblims" tech?

Airship battles? Well that should be interesting to see between Orcs and Dwarfs.

Everyone might have airships except maybe the scale folks and elves.

Basically for flavor. They can have other flying units
