New Enemy Ideas

[SmartyPants]

Wouldn't a regular Crossbow be better then Piercing Crosbow?  The physic involved wouldn't allow a large enough crosbow to pierce through a person and hit the person behind.  The wieght of such a crossbow would be much greater then the lift of the wings and the force of firing a massive crossbow would create thrust in the wrong direction.  Since the Glider is busy piloting the glider, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to counter-attack then a regular crossbowman?

You don't need a knife to be an Assassin.  Some humans use their speed and stealth alongside their psy powers to dispatch enemy units. (you can play human psy assassin in the Dual mode of TPRG2)
Psy Assassin
Health: 50
Speed: 4
Attacks: Mind Blast (Range: 1, Damage: 10), Feedback (Range: 2, Healing/Damage: 15)

Does anyone think that the human Psy Assassin shouldn't be Formulated?

[Zhampir]

I don't see any reason why he should have a piercing attack or a counter... after all, he'd have to reload his crossbow so it doesn't seem logical that he could quickly counter...

I think you should go ahead and formulate the Psy Assassin idea. Once we all agree on what the golem should fire and what its stats should be, we could probably formulate that too.

I agree that the Psy Assassin can be formulated- there is little discussion on that at the moment, or ever.
I do woner though why you good folks haven't voiced your issues with the glider before it became formulated? 'Cause I saw three pages of same arguments that didn't highlight any of this stuff. Do you still feel the need for improvement? On, say, the counterattack point, I do agree: hence I wonder if the stats proposed were the best ones. So, if you feel it needs a re-think, kindly post your thoughts here.

I think I was content with the flying archer (glider) when I saw it. I was more focused on the golem. I do like the idea of a piercing crossbow. Since the glider is flying, the extra speed boost might allow him to fire a quick moving crossbow bolt that pierces the target.

[Zhampir]

I don't think it should be able to go through 3 targets. That would be one fast arrow to cleanly go through one target, and still hit 2 more targets doing the same damage.

On that note I think the 2 placed target should receive less damage.

[cyso]

The piercing crossbow only goes through two targets. Maybe the second target should receive less damage, though.

[KZ]

I think that the less damage part might be too difficult to code in. Plus, if it is thrust with enough force, the impact parameters should be roughly equal.

Arbalest Golem: Health: 33
Speed: 1
Attack: Bolt Shot (for lack of better name): Damage: 10 Range: 1-3
These are the stats for the golem. Does anyone think there needs to be any changes?

The only arrow that can go through a person and hit the person behind would be from a ballista.  I just don't see a ballista and a person being caried by a small glider.

If th spearhead was shaped in a trinagliar fashion almost like the bannet on a mussket it could with engough force rip through something soft like an arm or leg

[cyso]

A crossbow is very powerful by itself. With the extra energy from the glider's motion, the bolt could penetrate more than one person.

With a speed of three, I think the glider is closer to hovering then zooming through the air.

The range is insanely far.  Make the range, 1-2 or just 2.  A moving golem shouldn't be able to hit you, while you can't hit it.

Coupled with the triagliar shape and the soften of human flesh it could go thow more than one person

I may be mistaken, but most soldiers have armor on.
