I have some ideas about the dwarves. They already have cannons, so why not muskets? It´s possible to change the halberdeers into dwarven musketeers, with 4 raged attacks, and the same number of swords as the swordsman, but less defense. There is precedent for this concept in warcraft, so, why not add this flavor to MoM?
Also, why not change the hammerhands into dwarven warpriests? You would need the temple and the armourer´s guild to build them, they would have the same attack as a halberdeer and healing spell. They could use the healing on themselves when the battle is going bad for them, or cast in another unit if needed. Dwarven engeneers could have one dwarven pistol, and a single weak ranged attack. The secret of their fast building could be the fact that dwarves uses explosives, and the final test in becoming a dwarven engeneer is to build it´s own flinch pistol and shoot with it. The dwarven hero could have one as well... but rely more on melee attacks... Zephirus Wrote:I have some ideas about the dwarves. They already have cannons, so why not muskets?

If every race had priests/shamans then there's little to differentiate the races. And in terms of the more thematic elements, it would undercut the idea of the dwarves as hardy yet pragmatic.

Rename the engineers to sappers, give them stronger melee attacks, and make the weak ranged attack grenades (which definitely existed in the time period MOM would hypothetically be in). zombieflanders Wrote:I think the problem with both of these is that it's reducing the uniqueness of the units.

I liked the sappers... but they are too overpowered for the engineer cost... They should be more expensive and need more buildings to be done... kyrub Wrote:The other possibility is: to hardcode paladins to have righteousness on them in every combat, but that would have ugly effects, like it can be dispelled etc. And overland effects... I don't know. Still, a common 'righteous' unit would make stuff like Petrify or Ice bolt interesting. Isn't there already a Death Immunity ability that Death units have? We can give that to Paladins, not as good as Righteousness since there's no Chaos protection, but no need for hardcore hacking either. We can increase their shields somewhat to compensate for not being immune to ranged magic attacks. |
