Plague attack

Post by mediawatchdog »

It would be great if a vampire that can turn its ememies into itself couyld be added as well as factions like "Bloody Bones" ( A Skeleton or Gobblin that can do the same) Similarly, if a Werewolf faction were added, their bite should turn their enemies. Is there any way to give the wraith a knife that can turn an enemy into a wraith?

Only if the unit you killed becomes very weak (like it is the case with plague).

Yes. Plague(type) is a weapon special. The code to give someone a weapon isn't exactly simple, but it's normal, straight WML (i.e. no hacks).

In some vampire mythology,
if the person whos bite was a virgin, she become vampire, else she become a goul,
some random pest that could give a level 0 or with few chances a level 1 unit could be good,
Some goul level 0 could be added, however I cannot think of making a
level 0-1 vampire, by definition vampire are as powerful as a lich, even more.
(example in d20 system vampires are 8 level penalty while lich is 6)
(wesnoth put them both on level 3)

Since vampire level 3 already got drain and slow I find it difficult to add him Pest, unless there is a level 4 vampire.

There actually is a werewolf faction.

Sorry for the laziness this time or I'd link you to them. Search for werewolves, or click the Create tab above and go to the Complete Faction List to find info on them.

By laziness I mean I'm drop-dead tired and about to sleep. If you contact the creator of the WWs you might speak of this idea with him.
