SUGGESTION: Change Sniper Unit to...

[Courvein]

Hi there,

Great job with the new Promisance! Just have a suggestion to make... could we change the sniper unit name to something that makes more sense in the way the game uses it?

Snipers are needed to send cargo or aid or for trade... that doesn't make a lot of sense How about tanks or titans or dreadnoughts (from 40k), or chariots (from fantasy) I can see those things carrying stuff as well

Glad you like what has been done. Since it has to be Redwall related those kinds of things wouldn't really work. Otters tend to swim a lot, so I guess you expect them to carry stuff on their backs while swimming. Making them "Otter Ships" or something might make more sense though...

that kinda confuzed me actually.. do you mean that our 'otters' are called 'snipers' somewhere else? or was there a slip somewhere?

there's an attack called 'Sniper Assult'
as much sence as that makes
it uses both otters and sqirrgels I believe..

but yeah.. carrying things with snipers doesnt make sence atall..

I think our "Otter" is equivilent to other games "Sniper"... Or maybe he means our Squirrels are. But squirrels don't carry aid...

Guerilla Strike  Does battle with only your mice and your enemy's mice.
Archer Attack  Does battle with only your squirrels and your enemy's squirrels.
Frontal Assault  Does battle with only your hares and your enemy's hares.
Stone Bombardment  Does battle with only your otters and your enemy's otters.
Pincer Move  Pits your hares and otters against your enemy's hares and otters.
Sniper Assault  Pits your squirrels and otters against your enemy's squirrels and otters.

Hello there, Courvein! Which unit did you mean by snipers?

[Courvein]

Sorry!!

I'm on the Long Run server, not Redwall? The units there changed snipers to Transports, so that makes sense now You can go ahead and close the thread!

Are the servers all different?

I think the only thing that changes between Battle For Redwall and Conquest of Generals is the turn rate...
