I stapled a unit together!

Post by Snarius »

Here's my first unit, a time mage! Made using ael193's frankenpack.

What are some more magi ideas?

I dunno, looks sort of bland to me. Maybe if you added some pom poms...

Interesting. That's not a unit though, that's just a unit sprite. It's not a unit until you develop stats for him. What makes this unit unique and interesting?

sure do, SM

I found the idea when looking for alternative magi. One hit from one of his staves will send a unit into the future, to the start of the mage's next turn. He has a slowing ranged attack too.

The WML and animations would be a bit difficult.

the WML for that "Time Staff" wouldn't be too difficult.
Basicly you'd need to store the unit he attacks, remove it from the map, preferable with some nice halo animation. You then check every time a turn starts if there are units stored that got hit and need to be warped back in the game.

But don't ask me to write it. I just know it should be possible! :)

perhaps a non evil cold mage(frankenstien and recolor), i was planing to make a mind oriented one which i would call a phsycomancer or somthing cool like that.

A frost mage: good move and defence on snow and ice, cold ranged attack (maybe some "ice touch" for melee as well), on level three can cast a mini-blizzard, that also slows. Looks like the Father Frost of Slavic folklore. Maybe an "Ice Queen" female version

Idea: the frost magi could create ice and snow on grassland/forest/water tiles it moves to or attacks. It could help to fortify a position.
