Unit descriptions

Actually, we have one more.... Firebolts. Like balefire, but normal fire. Will be used by bodyguards, very high attack but short range....

what about other key character one powersers like Elayne or Aviendha...? will thye be in the game or...?

Wise Ones?

sorry to double post - still unable to edit - an idea however:

I seemed to see somewhere that mounts have their own attack. So what I'm wondering is if units like Rand or the Forsaken were mounted would you be able to give them three effects? Albeit their mounts would control the third and thus make effective use of it somewhat suspect... However this would serve to make such elite characters more powerful than the more generic weavers.

Yes, after the Dumais Wells. Will not be very common though.

Edit: No, horses cannot have any special abileties.

Well I just looked in the descr_mount.txt file and both elephants and chariots have a natural attack. So if you labeled a unit as a type of chariot or elephant and gave it the horse animation... wouldn't that work? Then you could change the values of either the tusk or scythe attack to make it perform some kind of power-like attack, right?

**SMZ** · 07-09-2005, 19:25

in particular those attacks ability to knock troops around could translate into some kind of Air weave attack...

But that would be wrong, we have never seen horses with powers, and it would look strange if their horses power was meant to be the riders. And we cannot give individual generals their own horse.. We will do like this with seanchan beasts though.

Ahh, well I don't mean to pester - but the way I imagined it since the attack would be carried out by an invisible elephant tusk if you were able to switch the animation to that for a horse then it would look like guys who were standing five feet in front of the man on the horse were getting knocked up into the air and backwards...

And we cannot give individual generals their own horse..

we can't? I thought since in RTW vanilla generals switch from early form of bodyguard to late form it was possible to have a trigger telling them to be assigned a different unit... I'm sure you understand this better however

You guys are going to have the seanchan beasts in this? Dopeness.
