peasant - IMPLEMENTED

Post by Dgkfadomo777 »

Peasent: Used when a army needed more soldiers or got desperate. A weak unit with weak attack but good for harrasing archers workers and healers, can also enter carriers capture tc's and has no weapons just punches.

It is a good idea. but it would better if you can recruit peasants in a special building for example in farm or townhouse...

They can be like skeletons in age of fantasy. Skeletons intergrate well with the game and so can peasants. Just give them same stats as skeleton warrior,

This unit is interesting and not common, i mostly did not see civilians in war eg. in AOS - however you could go attack with peasants too, but they were basically workers instead.
so they are the workers now in AOS.

btw: What turn cost you suggest for this unit?

1 turn but they move too and have small attack, the idea is they are a cheap unit that can capture castles and are emergency units, but are weak, maybe can mend things slowly,

+1 other wise they are just to powerful for a 1 cost unit. :)

in times of desperation countries had to send civilians like farmers into military and they did not have money for swords so theyused what they had. They were also untrained maybe make them have moderate attack but archers can finish kill them in one shot, what they would be used for is to defend in case enemy player starts attacking and your unprepared, like in medival times where some villages focused on peace but did not have strong army and used untrained soldiers or mecernaries in emergencies.

I also think they should only be used for defence, maybe you can use this idea:

When your TC is under attack, you can call your paesants/civillians for help. This units can be called/summoned every 2 or 3 turns. But will also vanish after 2 or 3 turns. They will "vanish", because they want to return to their houses, the war isn't a nice place for normal people. So after a few turns they are homesick or something and will return.
*For example: when your unit is killed after 1 turn, you still have to wait 3 turns untill you can call the next one*
When you call/summon a peasant, the production in your TC won't be interrupted, so it's pretty easy to call a lot of peasants. But it's hard to transport them to the front line, because they will disappear after a few turns.

It can affect small maps though, because 2 or 3 turns is enough to get to another TC. So maybe they shouldn't be able to conquer a TC (like a scout). And in this way you are sure they will only be used for defence.

I like the option expounded by you, Dgkfadomo. It is simpler and along the lines of what I was thinking.
However heeyy's suggestion is very interesting as well.
Thanks!

I liked heeyys idea. But it seems like there are a few flaws, it might get a little annoying after awhile of appearing and disappearing.
And if they are spawned from a tc but do not affect the produtcion of other units, it will make attacking a base very very hard. Although they only have low stats its already hard to take a enemy tc, so peasants spawning as well as others will really unbalance the game.

Just a thought. Im probaly wrong. :D

On the Fantasy version there are also units that will appear/disappear after a few turns. Maybe you can take a look there and see for yourself if it can be annoying after a while.

And about the second thing: yes, it will be harder in the early stage to conquer an enemy TC. If you are only attacking with 1 or 2 units, it can really make a difference if there's a peasant or not. But in a later stage, you won't even notice the difference between a TC with or without peasant.
