At the beginning of the thread there is a unit list and the ones with an @ after them have a standing graphic.

-> Clockwork Golem
-> Clockwork Automaton

Clockwork robots things, no real design plans other then that no design

+Clockwork Wanderer
-> *Clockwork Rambler
--> Clockwork Itinerant

These have to be able to cross over water, so flying or water unit, other then that no design!

+Dwarven Cutthroat

is the level one of the units ive been posting today

-> *Clockwork Gunner
--> Clockwork Artillery

are the level two and three of the one you just did!

That one's great, his face on zoom makes me laugh for no apparent reason. It must be his moustache.

Seems everything is getting done at a tremendous rate today, mighty fine.

The wanderer is supposed to be like a scout right?

is there any real definite path or unit cost set out for this guy? Because I think it has potential to upgrade in a real powerfull 3rd class unit.

+Clockwork Wanderer
-> *Clockwork Rambler
--> Clockwork Itinerant

Is the unit path, although i might add a branch at level 2 yet.

As to unit costs and whatnot, none of that is set. All i set was that it was the scouting unit + water traversal.

I'd say that if you'd give me some freedome on it; I could make it a split line of which one would be a lot more speed oriented; whilst the other sacrifices a lot of speed to become an awesome tank unit;

because with a "walker"-mech type of design, you -must- make it an awesome tank.

-Obviously-. Clockwork tanks rox my sox.

Your welcome to do whatever you wish with it Neorice, have as many splits as you so wish

-edit-
Im going to do some attack frames, just so you know where i am

Clockwork golem; I'd say, give it stalwart and a melee version of the thunderer's weapon, blunt ofcourse; as it wields a mace, will make people think twice about attacking it

On the other hand there's my own idea for a unit, clockwork swarms, may need some graphic changes, but in general it's an unit with both "regeneration" and "swarm"

it's health goes down rather quickly and with it it's damage; however if the stats are done properly, it could be a very usefull unit that just takes caution in use.

Attack frame!

Also, the clockwork Golem looks cool. very nice, very nice.

As to clockwork swarms, i had had a similar idea but then abandoned it. The level one clockwork golem was originally a stand alone unit fast and nippy with low hp and regeneration...

...im a stupid for not knowing what swarm is exactly?

Post by **Neoriceisgood** » November 13th, 2006, 9:09 pm

Swarm is an abillity that currently only the cuttlefish has;

to put it mildly; units with swarm lose either damage or strikes (I believe strikes) when their hp is cut by a certain percentage; so it is vital for them to stay at full health, or they'll start sucking

the advantage of this skill?

you can basicaly cram a unit with a lot more damage for the same cost, as the abillity is a real down side that would balance the unit being more powerfull than normaly (especialy if it's like 12-2, where missing a strike means a real handicap)

Oh yes, them accursed cuttlefish.

Swarm sounds good to me, but perhaps not as powerful as the cuttlefish have it.

Swarm, regeneration and low hp should make an interesting hit and run tactical unit.
