I guess your right, I was thinking specificcally about him being inside of a castle, because you wouldn't get sunlight there. Like you said though it hardy ever happens so maybe I should take it out. Then it gets to be a really short power, but I guess that doesn't really matter:

Horus the Avenger

Myth Unit. A fast unit that may attack multiple enemies.

Scientific Name - Archifalco pharonicus
Size - about 9' tall
Diet - scarab beetles and honey

Because the Avenger is so deadly figiting hand-to-hand, it is best to combat him with ranged units. In combat, the Avenger periodically attacks as a wirlwind, damaging all enemy units around him.

Horus was th child of Osiris and Isis who, upon reaching adulthood, was known a Her-ned-tef-ef, "Horus, Avenger of his father," whose role it was to seek vengence and cast out the evils of Set.

"Behold, the fire riseth in Abydos and it cometh; I cause it to come, the Eye of Horus. It is set in order upon thy brow, O Osiris Khenti-Amenti; it is set in the shrine and riseth on thy brow." - The Pyramid Texts

-Age of Mythology

Wow! Horus is pretty cool!

[monkeyfish]

Yay!! More AOM customs. Now let's see a scorpion man or a roc!!!!

[InfinityMax]

Yeah, man! That's great! I love Horus! Nice whirlwind, and Vengeance is a great ability.

Only thing is, there are few scenarios in which you'll use his normal attack over a special. Mostly just when he's got allies next to him. What about lowering his special to 4, and raising his standard to 4? Then he can try to maneuver for height - otherwise there's not much point.

Don't worry I'm getting to them. Next is a Scarab though, then we'll see.

Yea I found that out through playtesting. I had hoped that with vengence you would want to have Egyptians close to him, forcing him to use the normal attack. Although your suggestion is a good one. I'll raise the attack to 4 and lower the Wirlwind Special Attack to 4.

Thanks for the feedback keep it coming.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

Ok I fixed it. Do you think 130 points is reasonable? And one loose end on Petsuchos should I get rid of the first line in Searing Beams SA?

[InfinityMax]

On Petsuchos - do you mean the part where he can only use it once per round? Because I like that. That's a cool limitation, though it does require remembering if he already used it this round (not that I care, I still like it). Or do you mean the part about having stuff above him?

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

The stuff above him, I know you think it should be taken out, and I agree that it hardly ever comes up but I wanted to see if any one else had an opinion.

[Zeeno]

does crocodopilis mean only if he's next to another egyptian while he's in the water or is it supposed to be "or"

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

It means when Petsuchos is in water AND adjacent to an Egyptian he cannot be attack from a range. I have this power because Petsuchos was a crocodile who lived in a large lake in the center of the city of Croctodopolis and was worshipped and protected by the Egyptains

[Doc_Savage]

I would take out the first line of searing beams...

Crocodoplis
If Pets... is on a water space and adjacent to an Egyptian he may not be targeted by a non-adjacent figure.
