Not the basic infantry, but a step above it. Higher hp, slightly better attack, and some decent armor vs one damage type.

The high physical armor is actually because it will literally eat your bullets. This thing consumes it's foes as it fights. Whether they are dead or not doesn't matter. Can be raised occasionally, like ghouls instead of skeletons​, after the proper upgrade, besides normal building. (Animation mastery, just needs a new name)

[Midonik]

Not sure how it should look,can you post any "inspiration picture"?

[Midonik]

I think that's good idea but someone must come out with image concept.

[godOfKings]

a slime may b?

[Puss_in_Boots]

No, but maybe close.

[Midonik]

Maybe I will attempt this

[Midonik]

I thought of something like this - kinda slime in shape of mashroom men, in a colour that somehow seems digesterish for me. Ignore the infantrymen.

[Puss_in_Boots]

Well fungi don't use bile to digest, but instead phylums (I think that's their name) absorb nutrients for mushrooms.

[Dagravian]

Yeah... But for some reason this name reminds me a butcher/regurgitator monster, i mean a large and fat mush...

Some ideas on how it could look from @Puss_in_Boots
It could be the shape of a pitcher plant with a vat of acid covered slightly by a loose mushroom cap, and when it wants to eject acid the explanation is: It's body contracts to pull the mushroom cap back and squeeze out acid at the same time. It will also have 4 legs.
or
Shape of an (anatomically correct) heart, instead of pumping blood, it pumps out acids. It moves around by mycelium tendrils and reabsorbs acids that way.

So in a way he will have life absorption from attack and acid attack? Interesting unit to delay enemy advance

[Midonik]

Idk where you got the acid attack from

[Sombrar +1]

Well, assuming he's going to have an appearance resembling a heart where he's just spewing acid, I thought he attacked with acid?

[Midonik]

The high physical armor is actually because it will literally eat your bullets. This thing consumes it's foes as it fights.

The idea is that this thing is kinda like a slime that absorbs any physical projectiles its attacked by and also enemies. And then corrodes them with... well acid I suppose, to then use that as nutrients to rebuild its body. Kinda like a stomach I guess.
The current engine does not support a unit having two different o hit effects atm I believe, and lifesteal feels like a more integral part of this whole idea.

[Sombrar +1]

ah well, I understand now, it makes a little more sense

[Midonik]

The idea is quite out there, like all of myconid stuff pretty much

[Sombrar +1]

I agree that it is very different and fits well in their concept, after all, apparently they will be quite exotic in this considering that they will have to face races with super advanced weapons and smart using only biological mutations and abominations, it's actually pretty cool the idea.

[Anchar]

Is it one unit or a team?

[Midonik]

A team, I think it's meant to be infantry sized

[Anchar]

?

[Anchar]

?

[Midonik]

Seems good
