Expanded Undead faction mod (Not For Mainline!!)

[peet]

A unit is not allowed to get weaker in an parametre (here speed)

No.

A unit is not recommended to get weaker in a parameter. There is nothing that says it's not allowed.

This is not for mainline or MP so I don't have to worry about balancing the faction against others. Thematically it fits and theme is what's important about this faction.

I suppose I could have the MP loss occur when the Blood Bat levels into the Dread Bat, instead of when the Dread Bat becomes the Doom Bat.

It's right in the title. This is clearly a UMC. "Rules" (they're more like guidelines anyway) don't apply. They could advance backwards if it makes for fun gameplay (and yes this has been done).

A big part of the reason I designed it this way is that I know the devs are generally against having powerful scout units for a variety of reasons, which are generally sound. I wanted to reduce the Doom Bat's ability as a scout somewhat as it is a pretty decent fighter. That coupled with the AMLA_UNDEAD and the Feeding ability makes this unit potentially quite fearsome.

Peet,
Please consider using my sprite of a 'Horror' -

a level 3 ghoul.. No attack or defence frames I'm afraid.

So I've been looking over this and am thinking about some updates. Mainly I want to overhaul the way Walking Corpses work.

The main change will be adding a "latestrike" special to the WC's attack, which means that it strikes last even when attacking. This makes sense to me because zombies are supposed to be slow. I will also increase this attack to 7-2.

This will necessitate updating the hitpoints of WC's (and all the rest) by maybe 20%, though, because they will never get the chance to finish off a unit without first getting swung at. Overall WC's will take a fair bit more damage as a result.

I also want to adjust the attack rating based on the variation. Level 0 units like vampire bats and goblins will be significantly weaker (I was thinking 5-2 for the bat and maybe 6-2 for the goblin). Also, woses, trolls, and other "big" creatures would get an 8-2 attack. Maybe only level 2 trolls and up... not sure yet.

Thoughts?
