Halflings [wogify script]

Unread postby Vlaad II » 14 Apr 2009, 22:39

Beyond these walls lies the dread land of Eeofol, a land of tremendous volcanic rifts and prodigious lava flows. Demons of all types and forms patrol the land, a land once fertile and green and populated by a peaceful race of little people called Halflings. That was until the Night of Shooting Stars when the Kreegans came. Now all that is left of their race is a few pocket villages. The demons scattered them to the four winds and turned them into an embittered people with little hope and no place to truly call home.

But after the Reckoning, when most Elves and Dwarves fled to Axeoth, the Halflings reclaimed their homeland...

HALFLING TOWN, ERM script v0.9 (temporary script name: script83)

1. FEATURES

Before you ask - no, there are no new creatures. :P It's just a custom script introducing:

- 17 new heroes (replacing Rampart heroes)
- Mystic Pond produces 3-6 Rocs a week
- Rampart creatures replaced by

Pixies > Sprites
Halflings > Rogues
Gold Golems > Diamond Golems
Sharpshooters > Lava Sharpshooters
Dendroid Guards > Dendroid Soldiers
Sorceresses > Enchanters
"Hatchlings" > Faerie Dragons

Image

Notes:
- all the creatures count as Rampart troops
- Halflings are level 2 with stats similar to those of Archers
- the speed of Gold and Diamond Golems nerfed from 5 and 6 to 3 and 4
- "Hatchlings" are Faerie Dragons with halved health and cost
- left-click the Upgraded Dragon Cliffs to upgrade "Hatchlings" to Faeries (I will probably change this in the update)

Image

- if the Homestead is pre-built, the player gets 7 Golems... but on the other hand, no hero starts with level 3 creatures
- I haven't adjusted external dwellings in this version, but there is a hero who upgrades Dwarves and Wood Elves to Lava Sharpshooters (I'll probably change it in the next update)
- Rocs can be recruited for free in the Mystic Pond, but building the Fountain of Fortune disables this option (I might change this though)

Obviously, I haven't tested the balance of this lineup and could use some advice here. In other words, what creature stats should be modified? Feel free to post your suggestions in this thread!
