-King Elsin

-ark: decreased buildtime and armor; attack is now guided

I like the idea of guided attacks. It really irritates me when I see a high powered air unit fly in and all my archers miss :<



-trebuchet: moved to flying builder

I think making the treb a T4 unit is a good balance to the game. Some people like to make a turtle set up right off the bat for trebs exclusively. I think forcing them into a T4 position will postpone this type of game play.



T3- Acolyte: moves faster; armor increased; reduced rain storm damage attack; can help build anything

The damage an acolyte can do with an INSTANT storm is very overwhelming. Once you start seeing Aco drops on the field things can become one sided very quickly. I like all of the changes implemented here. It looks like the Aco is now more of a utility unit which I think it should be. I would vote these changes should be made in 4.1bb.



-assassin: added capture attack and more defense

Capture attack would be cool to see. These units are underused and the capture attack would change a lot of that.



Those are my picks. All in all I think are very positive changes for aramon; whether in SageMod or not.



Cheers

i like the changes to and mabye decrease rolling towers build time and mabye cost so it can be more cost effective and give T3 mana back 100 mana XD

Well I thought that the capture attack would be like a kidnap. This guy is an assassin, so why not also give it a kidnap ability.

I have already made the rolling tower's cost and build time less than what it original had.

I did get a few comment about the amount of mana that the lvl3 mana stones were given. And they said that they were never running out of mana with the old stats.

Hey everyone, check out the graphic created for Aramon's structure on the first post.
A link to the 16x20 poster size is also available.

The poster has been updated. The Heart of Anu has been removed from tier 4 structures, and tiered down to 3 to replace the mana pyramid. The gold mine and transporter have been added as a water resource. See the first post to view the poster.

Lordling Dernhest is coming back to New Era.
- Travels on horse, and has a staff with a green orb that can be used for magic spells.
- He'd have to be renamed, so more than 1 can be made. Mage of Dernhest. Keeping the name short, so it fits in both the poster and the game.

What should be his attack(s)? Perhaps the same attack that Sister had in v5.8, but with much less aoe, higher cost and buildtime as he has more speed?

The buildtree poster for Aramon has been completed. A few updates coming up for v5.9:

1. Additing Mage of Dernhest to replace Sister as a mage unit.
2. Repurposing Sister as the T2 resource to provide income/mana.
3. Repurposing Church as the building to provide lighthouse sight, one lodestone mana, garrison for Sisters, and heal.
4. Placing gates under Priest to avoid getting spammed by Mage Builders.
