Lets give Shock Troopers the 'Shock' weapon-spec

Post by Eagle_11 »

Hereby i propose they gain the 'Shock' weapon-special used in Eastern Invasion for the Mounted warrior on their only attack from lvl2 onwards, because why not ?

It would surely help to keep the HI unit-line alive, seeing that they are rather an defensive unit that is used to tank the damage.
Additionally can say give the lvl3 Iron Mauler an secondary shield-bash impact 12 dam-1 strike attack that slows if hits, that may or not get restricted to the defensive.

This would have a huge effect on multiplayer balance, although I fully support introducing it for campaigns only.

Sounds like a pretty huge deal for a unit that already has such strong melee. In EI I think it mostly makes Owaec able to actually contribute on the front lines without risking his life, but letting Shock Troopers immediately bypass some 25-50% of potential retaliation damage sounds like something that would make them quite monstrous in offensive melee.
