What if we add the steal clad as a boss unit? Its attacks are like a mobile mortar, and his short range attacks are arrows.

I saw the unit before, its like another Tank right? If you think its good, then add it. Its the one with the flashy green light on the front right? It looked kinda cool! When you say boss unit, do you mean like built by the Capital? Becuase the way I see it, thats just another tier. Just costs alot to get each unit, so I guess thats what you mean, boss/elite type unit?

Also What about adding the Water Juggernaught to the Capital? I know its a water unit, but have you ever seen the building by Ulterior that can build water units if there is water near the building? Check it out. Its kinda cool! This would also cause anyone whos Creon to try to locate a base near water in order to build it.

I was thinking to add it to the capital. Looking at the other races, they do have many elite units compared to creon. Here is an image of what it looks like:

I'm not against it, I don't think Creon can have 2 many tanks-like units.

Does this or the XTAP look more futurtistic? I think the more futuristic looking one should be the Elite Boss unit.

There are not many units out there that can be used as elite units for creon. The xtap looks exactly the same as the iron juggernaut; it's just smaller and the team colors are in a different layout. The iron juggy attacks more like a beast rider, and the steal clad attacks more like a mortar for long range, and uses arrows for close range.

There are some units that do look a bit futuristic. For example, the new drone, sentinel, etc.. If we look at them this way, we would have to take more units out, and there are barely more units we could add for creon. Do you agree with me?

I didn't think of it like that, I do agree now that you put it that way. Very good point Sage!
And you know me... I'm very critical. ::


OH
I just thought of something that I was working on with Veruna and got kinda stuck when comparing it to Zhon, and now Creon.

In the structuring of Veruna I removed all "units" from the Priest of Lihr, in hopes that it would just be a mana/building builder. A utility unit to say. I moved the tera whale out to the sea fort, and removed the elven archer because it didn't agree with Veruna IMO. Also because Zhon already has an elven archer.

I then thought of what would happen to Zhon. They would have an over abundence of units in the Kandran Tomb, but this just added to Zhon being the beasty race. Giant Orm, Giant Barracuda, Giant Spider, Treeant, Dragon Turtle, Goblin King, Chimera, Warlord, and Goblin Behemoth. That would be 9 elite units instead of the average 4/5 or so of the other races. Of course they could be balanced accordingly to make up for them having more. Then I realized all the other races have gates. Which we all know are very very useful. I doubt the extra units will be a problem anyways, because I mean look at Veruna, they have extra ships and such.

In doing all this, Creon would have the Ice giant and XTAP in the capital. Is there a way to differentiate the XTAP from the Steal Clad? Do you think we can figure something out Sage? What does that purple shield do for the XTAP? Maybe we can give it some type of Defense Aura?

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

i just played the mod as creon and there are a few things i'd like to point out

the chief engineer is named as T2 and the capital as T3 shouldn't it be T3 and T4?

the academy can build unlimited really weak versions of sage without his attacks for 10000 he can only build 3 things, i don't really get that

there are many units that have a really big circle round them when you select them, can this be reduced?

some units have some really bad animation snowballer and roboreaper are prime examples

garacious has a weird glitch in his hat texture it goes invisible sometimes. The enlargement has also made him look weird when he is walking

the gun boat doesn't build the navy yard (and possibly other units/buildings I didn't test)

what does the activate and deactivate feature do on the XTAP and other units all i can see is that it spins a thing on it lol

the spider thing charges its mana too fast IMHO

Whacker isn't a very good name for a unit, its like calling a swordsman a stabber

Those are some of the things i noticed when playing as creon, its just friendly critisism to keep you on your toes

Thanks for the feedback ace. I messed up on the tiers, but now they are fixed. Take a look at the general info section.

The stats for many units need to be worked on. The point for this sage is to have him as a decoy unit like in ta which is a cheap unit that looks just like the mon.

The circle for those units need to be fixed as well.

The animations for the snowballer and roboreaper look weird because of their speed; that' needs to be fixed, too.

Garacaius didn't get resized; I only took off the ghost anim.

The gunboat also needs to build; that's a script problem. Hopefully, we can have snail fix it.

The aura over the xtap unit is part of the unit which I still have comprehend what its for.

-Which spider are you talking about? The one from the Capitol?

Do you think you can think of a name for the whacker?

Good points ace.
