new unit "traits" ideas

[lucienium]

skilled -> increases hit percent of all attacks by 5% (10% is too high)

agile -> increases defense in all terrain by 5% (again, 10% is too high)

[suggest a name] -> increased evade against magic attacks by 10% (bringing the hit percent down to 60)

[suggest a name] -> unit recovers 2HP during the start of its owner's turn even if it moved and/or attacked during the last turn. (normal units recover only when they neither move nor attack)

...is it possible to have any of these traits implemented? if you guys don't agree, can anyone at least tell me how they can be coded into the game (apply_to=hitpercent??? ...also apply_to=defense???) so i check whether or not they make the game imbalanced

well, balancing isn't really the issue, logicality is, for me at least...

but since you want to do it, fine. it can't be done in WML, if thats what you're asking... do you mean actual coding?

I believe it's pretty much been stated that the Wesnoth system is feature complete, and will not contain any new ideas like this. This is also a particularly bad time for new traits, as it requires rebalancing every unit and every campaign, and right now the developers are trying to push for a 1.0 release. Also, getting a couple of those traits (especially in a campaign) would really be a nuisance. Honestly, how often do you get hit with a magical attack?

That last suggestion is like Jetryl's variable regeneration idea.
