Race: Human
HP: 42
Armor: 10
Power: --
Range: 2
Movement: 3
Recovery: 2 for attack 1 for movement
Blocking: 40

Ability: The trapper... lays traps up to 2 spaces away, no LOS... 8 unblockable damage(armor does not matter)

Restrictions: 1 per square, cannot put on a spot with a unit.

When any unit walks over a trap it stops on that space and takes 10 damage.

The only unit immune to traps is the poison whisp

Teleporting units bypass traps unless they teleport to a space with the trap on it then they take normal damage.

Units that walk or teleport onto a trap can still attack but cannot move.

Traps affect friendly units also

Pro: great for turtles or defense against rushes.

Con: no regular attack

Please provide cunstructive critisism.

I like it, would be a useful unit. I think it's pretty balanced and it's a pretty original idea. So if you lay a trap then you can see it? And you can lay as many traps as you want? It may be a little over powered, depending on the finer details. Can you explain a little more?

Yeah, I agree with Simon. There are 110 tiles on a board... .. Yeah, and if you kept on placing these traps, the game would get out of control. Overpowered in that aspect. There should be some restriction into how many this unit can place OR lower it's HP just a touch. Maybe increase the Wait Recovery slightly too. Other than that, I have nothing to criticise on that. Well done.

See this is what i'm thinking, its not so much the damage it does, that's relitivly low, it's the fact that you would slow down the game so much because both teams units would have to stop when they hit a trap or take a longer route around... I think maybe max of ten traps on the board and and extra wait turn. This would be such a handy unit, you could stop units from getting to clerics and/or frosts and stuff like that. Sometimes all you need is that one extra turn to get into a defensive wall. You could even use this offsively and stop units from escaping!

I say there should be specific tiles to choose from to put these traps on. Evenly spread out.

This would definantly lower the effectiveness of the Trapper, maybe too much so and make it underpowered. I think it's fine as long as they can only lay ten traps. Although you do have a point, if you put them all in one big bunch then if would be really hard to get through. Perhaps make it so you can only lay traps two tiles away from each other.

ok its been edited but my reasoning for no limit now has increased, a trap can be set every 3 turns and you mentioned how it would slow down the game, well 110 tiles times 3 is 330 turns i dont think your ganna do that. i would just use this to set a minefield on my flank + if there is a limit and you reach it the unit would be useless.

DL

Hmmz.. You say that you can't see the trap and it can affect friendlies as well? Uh, ok. By the way, did you get the sarcasm about the 110 tiles?
