If, on the charge attack, you just move up until you strike the unit, I don't think that's going to the other side of the board?

What if there are other units behind the unit that you attacked?

Code:


X X U X X
X X U X X
X X K X X
X X | X X
X X | X X

In the above scenario, a red knight K is being charged, shown by the path |. Orange units (or shrubs) U are blocking the red knight K from being moved back. Where does the knight go?

As mentionned in the original unit description, if a charged unit is on a board edge or in front of units/shurbs, there is no knockback effect.

Forest_Archer · 07-26-2008, 10:46 PM

Oh, sorry, misread it. But still, for my other question:

How can it move from one end of the board to literally the other edge?

MBurns · 07-26-2008, 10:50 PM

Oh, I completely forgot to mention, you can still use the special even when not necesserly attacking another unit.

For exemple, if you are on your back row and the direction pointing to the opponent's back row is empty of units, you can still charge there.

Forest_Archer · 07-26-2008, 11:23 PM

Does it knock back shrubs if they are the targeted units?

I definitely like the unit now. It was surprising how quickly you came up with it and how well thought-out and tactical it is. I'm glad you dropped how it can change forms.

It's not really overpowered because the opponent can set up units to block the movement and it would have to wait if you had the first turn so they could plan accordingly. Cool.

Thanks for the input, it cannot move shrubs tho, it destroys them.

I was expecting more people to participate in this event

Cmon people, make a unit!

MBurns · 07-30-2008, 02:17 AM

I'd like to mention that Essence's unit is excellent!

I think the ONLY thing i'd have to say about it is that being so fragile, I see no point in waiting for the unit to be damaged to be able to use it at its full potential.

Great work on the unit man!

i'll enter. it's been a looooong tiem since i made any unit and i've never made one on lf, but i'll give it a go.

I suppose it's obvious that I've entered due to my unit submission, but oh well, I'll make this spammy post anyways.

And here's a UB I guess, seeing as he said he wanted one for the winner...
