Unit Ai + Abilities

[haughty rampart]

Title cut off so I don't get wiped from the face of earth by the mods. [old post name ]

Make shadowwrath auto-trigger their parry, and if they are close to units, make them use their pounce thing afterwards. this could be toggled off in the settings maybe.
like: auto-use abilties : (⨷==== ) (very bad ascii art slider in-bound)

Yes.

[timber valve]

autoparry?

that ruins giants

[potent badge]

YES

How?

[timber valve]

giants attack slow

autoparry would destroy giants entirely

[haughty rampart]

Giant spam =/= not big issue

[potent badge]

It blocks 1 hit

And that kills a giant?

💀

[haughty rampart]

There is most likely 6-7 giants anyways

[potent badge]

Exactly

With splash damage

[haughty rampart]

anyone good to ping here?

[timber valve]

how tf do you not understand

[haughty rampart]

@hollow eagle

[timber valve]

their firerate

[haughty rampart]

I don't see the issue here

[timber valve]

giant slow
shadowrath parry fast

[haughty rampart]

Okay?

[timber valve]

giant = not hit ninja

[haughty rampart]

its the same as macroing a singular unit to bypass 5 giant hits

except its manual

[potent badge]

It only negates 1 hit

How does that make such a difference

[timber valve]

just give this to shade as a passive

[haughty rampart]

No

[potent badge]

No

[timber valve]

shade isnt strong enough

[potent badge]

Units shouldn't be reliant on their Generals

[timber valve]

so why not buff her by adding this

[haughty rampart]

Half of the abilties in the game is useless af because they aren't used by ai, the other half is useless as fck because they are

[potent badge]

In a Q&A, Devs were planning on giving her an AOE timestop ability

[timber valve]

royal siblings are units that rely on their army

[potent badge]

Tell me that isn't strong

[timber valve]

old generals dont rely on their army

[potent badge]

Decks shouldn't have to rely on Generals

[timber valve]

this is literrally their whole purpose

[potent badge]

Still, Archidon spam still shreds without Kytchu

[timber valve]

werent we talking about shadowrath

[potent badge]

Shade is a General

Shadowraths shouldn't have to rely on Shade 💀

[haughty rampart]

Shadowwrath do most damage, but die very fast if you don't have 3 slots on healing already

[timber valve]

they are light units

[haughty rampart]

giants shred them without any heavy support,

so you are forced to use way less

they are only good as UC early

[timber valve]

they are supposed to be glass cannons

[potent badge]

Effective glass cannons

[haughty rampart]

yes

[potent badge]

I don't get why you have to UC them to use their ability

It should be automatic

They don't need a stat buff or anything like that

[timber valve]

instead of doing this

[potent badge]

Just an AI improvement

[timber valve]

all units should be able to use their abilities

[potent badge]

Exactly

[haughty rampart]

I just realized my post name isn't that good

hold on

[potent badge]

You shouldn't have to rely on UC

[timber valve]

t this could make campaign more difficult

[haughty rampart]

Unit Ai + Abilities

[potent badge]

But it would apply to the player too

[haughty rampart]

ok there

[potent badge]

It's even

[timber valve]

its good

it improves the player and the ai

[potent badge]

The game would be 30x better with improved AI

Shadowrath need a serious AI improvement

Until Shade gets here at least

[haughty rampart]

Or atleast,
all units have a toggle to turn on and off their abiltiy, within settings or somethingl

for example:

[timber valve]

why can merics do this tho

[potent badge]

They can

They automatically activate Shield when they are hit by a Projectile

[haughty rampart]

My post was more about ai in general, but shadowwrath fit the thing i was talkin' about

so I used them a lot more in my main, post

[potent badge]

I should repost my Shade concept

[haughty rampart]

sounds cool

[potent badge]

I gave her a passive ability for Shadowrath where they would gain 'Fixate', which means they lock on to an opponent [for good] and do stack damage

So even if there's an enemy unit in the way, they won't miss their target as long as it's in reach

I also gave her an ability where she can teleport all Shadowrath to Center Tower (whether or not it is captured) to launch an ambush

[haughty rampart]

seems a lil' broken

[potent badge]

I know

It's a concept though

Of course, there will be cooldowns

[haughty rampart]

What Font Does game use btw?

[potent badge]

This probably being 90s

[haughty rampart]

yes

Menu Idea:

[lime trail]

Yes someone who thinks the same!

Generals should be added too

Oh wait didn't notice marrowkai being on there already

[strange comet]

@twilit plover @hollow eagle @gilded dome

[gilded dome]

Hmm
