Age of Strategy Forums

I know I mentioned this in the wrong section before but I thought I would put it in here as well. I do fell that assassins should not be able to destroy buildings. It is not thematic and can make them very op. Maybe they should only take 3 turns to make with this alteration to make them a bit more worthwhile.

Maybe split the functions. Have a reverse unit almost exactly like the assassin that destroys only buildings.

maybe piromanic, or looter?

Yeah. Those are good names too. I wasn't able to think of one.

I like the pyromaniac idea but I feel that he should not be able to destroy castles, all other buildings are fine but castles take too much effort to build to be taken by 1 dood with a torch :p

what o you think about 1/4 hp for castles ?

or maybe 200 damage?

I agree. Castles are way too big to be destroyed by one yahoo with a torch. But maybe cut down the damage inflicted to about 1/6.

I think a straight 200 damage to any building would be good, this would mean that it would be 5 hits on a non upgraded castle but more if you have the techs. 200 will also destroy all other buildings in 1 hit.

Ok. How would we make it so it only operates on buildings? There didn't seem to be anything unusual on the assassin's stats.

would not be too hard

give the pyromanic an att str of 5 with 4000% bonus on buildings - so he is naff against troops but great on buildings

the assassin could be att str 5 with 3000% bonus on all troop types - so naff against buildings but great against troops.

if they only cost 3 turns each to make as well that would make them a useful tool.

Good!
Maybe, Assassin> flesh-n-blood units; Piromaniac> Buildings; and Saboteurs> non-flesh-n-blood-units?

Seems good.

Here's tile ideas. Ya'll can tell me what to change.

They do look good. maybe too similar though.

Not sure if the saboteur should look like a worker with your big saw

The pyro could lose the cloak and have a torch in each hand.

Ok, Pyro'll lose the cloak. Does the torch flame need an outline?

Daniel: If you would please send me the png for the worker we use, I can experiment with making the Saboteur. (I've been basing these off of the tileset images.)

cool: sure, send me an email with this request - thanks.

Here's Pyro with and without flame outline. Please tell me what you think.

Pyro Paul

Hi

Pyro Paul!!!

Patroid

K!
And here's the Saboteur. Tell me what changes are necessary.

aybe his weapon... Ut seemed a laser weapon at first sight

Take your pick!

Saboteur slim.

slim

Not the Chainsaw?

that would be better : )

Is everything good? Should we ask for implementation?

Pyro Paul is great and the slim guy too is good, some nice icons you have made

WhythankyouSOmuch!!!

In medieval times, thry were called sappers. They would dig under a seiged castle to an outter wall, use pig fat/carcass, wood to make a hot fire, the pig would explode taking down the wall.
