Re: Wriggz's Custom - Input Request 20/07
Quote:
1. There is a strong precedent that humans' maximum move is 6. 2. I would give Kenish Disengage or Tactical Disengagement 7 and make him have to move into true adjacency when attacking, though figures within 3 spaces would still be considered engaged. That obviates the strange scenarios where he could attack people behind walls and things of that nature. Perhaps an even better power would be one that is similar to Scatter. It would allow Kenish to move X spaces towards any figure initiating an attack within 3 spaces of him (this would be in conjunction with Disnegage or Tactical Disengagement 7). This power seems to achieve the same goal as your version without some of the quirkiness. 3. Disciplined Speed is a very creative ability and a good fit for a Samurai. |

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
Thanks for the input,
1. I know col hudson needs a limit, something on my plate. 2. As for bendict the gamble of putting all your order markers on him is very clear. You even have the card infront of you to warn you to put on order marker on him per turn. Many players would never put a OM on him unless necessary, but it forces your opponant to make difficult choices. But i thi nk I will add a d-20 roll, something like 1-10 nothing happens 11-20 you get control. 3. I want Kenish to have a wide area of engagement so that ranged figures that are not adjasent have to attack him first. he could clog up a whole bunch of stingers or 4th mass and cause them to kill themselves off with counter strike. What about this: Displined Speed: When an enemy figure moves beyond 3 clear sight spaces or more than 5 levels up or down, Kenish may make a leaving engagment attack as if the figure was engaged. All Ranged figures withing 3 clear sight spaces must target Kenish unless otherwise engaged. If Kenish is targeted by a figure within 3 clear sight spaces and is no more that 5 levels up or down, he may moved adjacent for the duration of the attack.

As for the Disciplined Speed, your new version is even more powerful than the first. Now Kenish may move adjacent if you wish for him to, or he can just stay put. I think his power needs some more well-defined limits, because as is, Kenish basically has the same effect as having several defensively-strong figures engaged to a large portion of your opponent's army. It's a neat idea, but I still think giving Kenish the option of actually moving into engagement with a figure is more elegant and balanced. |

What i'm trying to do is have a figure that is good agaist ranged, but no difference agaist melee. The leaveing engagement strike keeps the range figures close, and the counter and the forced attack brings them down. You would have to bring melee squads agaist him to take him down. Upping his points might balance it out. |

Disciplined Speed...or you could take out the last line and give Kenish Tactical Disengagement 7, which I think makes him more interesting and balanced. |

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
A much better way of saying What I'm trying to do. The only down side is the range figure will always opt to move outside Kenish's 3 space aura before attacking, thus negating the power entirely.

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
Not exactly - that will reduce the ranged figure's threat range - in that situation, you're probably forcing him to move backwards, which might put units he would otherwise be threatening out of harm's way. You could increase Kenish's aura to 4 spaces or even more depending on the final cost of the figure though.

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
I recall a Stinger Denial Debate which asked the question what if a figure was designed with this in mind, this was my idea:
Templar Spearmen MOVE 5 Spaces RANGE 2 Spaces ATTACK 3 Dice DEFENSE 2 Dice POINTS 80 Engagement Strike If an opponent's small or medium figure moves adjacent to a Templar Spearmen, roll the 20-sided die. For each adjacent Templar Spearmen you control add 1 to your roll. If you roll a 18 or higher, the opponent's figure receives a wound. Figures may only be targeted as they move into engagement with a Templar Spearmen. Heavy Armor When defending with a Templar Spearmen, add 1 defense die for each adjacent Templar Spearmen you control up to a maximum of +2 dice, for the Heavy Armor power. Extended Spear When attacking a figure whose base is not higher or lower than 3 levels from the base of a templar spearman you may add one to the templar spearman's Range. You must have line of sight to use Extended spear. +++++++++++++++++ The would keep melee figures at range with the engagement strike, but still have the range to hit them. Also they would be good agaist range. Note: the clumping nature of the powers keep them in check with regards to DW 9000, Zelrig, and to a lessor extent Mimring, Braxs and Neif.

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
That's a unique take on a spear wall-type power, a very popular ability around here. My only suggestion would be to lower the number a bit, maybe to 17? With as small a chance for success as a 19, the power isn't much of a deterrent to charging melee figures, which is what it's supposed to represent.

Re: Input Request 20/07 - Wriggz's Custom
Are abilities factored into there somehow? I don't see them anywhere, but if you got Raelin's cost right you must have factored it in somehow...
Also, if this method turns out to be reliable, I wonder if there should be a quick little computer program to do these calculations for customs creators. It wouldn't be hard to write from the looks of things, as formulas are rather easy to code. Abilities would certainly throw a wrench in the works, though... Something tells me that the cancellation, though tragic, may indeed mend that divide... |
