Ultron (Drone)

[Karat]

This is much more interesting than in 1.0. Good Work.

Age of Ultron reads strangely to me. Suggestion :

Instead of an ordered activation with Ultron, you may maneuver up to 2Ultrons you control up to 4 spaces each. Then, up to 2Ultrons you control gain an attack phase.

‘Make an attack phase” sounds weird. Maybe “may take an attack phase?” I think breaking it into two sentences helps, too.

Second question: There are several references to Event Ultron in this thread. Is the new Unique Ultron intended to lose the Event Hero status from its 1.0 heritage?

[IAmBatman]

I think for the most part that you make an attack, use an attack action, or gain an attack phase. There could be slightly different uses depending on context, of course, but I like the suggested phrasing here (just need a space between the "2" and the "Ultrons").

Event ULTRON isn't linked as a legacy design for the unique hero version and the unique hero version is pretty different, so in theory someone could still convert the event hero from 1.0 if they want to (though it's probably one I'm personally fine leaving there due to this new take).

[Karat]

I would say you make an attack, make an attack action, and use an attack phase, but in the context above "may gain an attack phase" is the most consistent with how we have been wording these.

Agree with Bats on the Unique vs Event question. Minus the keeping him in 1.0 not necessarily on my agenda but definitely wouldn't mind seeing the Event version converted over.

This is how my mind scans it as well...and it feels like we've done that in places already?

When Japes and I were discussing Ultron one of the things we wanted this Ultron to be able to do was to work in teams and get recruited into factions. As an Event Hero he can't do that. It's more or less a new design and as Bats said the Event Hero version is open for converting if people want it done.

[japes]

are we making a change here?

[IAmBatman]

I agree that "make an attack phase" sounds off and I support this suggestion from Sporx (with spacing added).

I wonder if we can't just shorten that to " Instead of Ultron's ordered activation,"
