In Response To: Re: Asylum Units List/ Sign-up (Pyro)

: The Sign-up List so far: Pyro:: Mahir
: Zandervix:: Warrior
: Archer »–)›:: Bowman
: Welly:: Dirigible (TFL)
: Road:: ?
: Forrest:: Shade
: oogaBooga:: ?
: Heron Guard King:: Avatara (TFL)
: Lord Raven:: Soulblighter
: Doom:: Shade

: OogaBooga, you can have a non-standard collection... but
: what is it? So I have an idea of what you are going to
: be. Road, what will your unit be? Heron Guard King, I
: cannot make color changes with any of the standard
: units. If you want it a certain color, then pick those
: colors for your online gaming. If I make permanent
: changes to the standard collections they become new
: collections and take a lot more room. Lord Raven, I
: don't know if I will reduce your health since these
: units will be at least as strong as a Fallen Lord or
: maybe even more. Doom, are you sure you want to be a
: shade since a person before you picked it? You can
: still be a shade but one of you two will have to have
: a local projectile group on your shade to see a which
: is which. First come, first serve. BTW... do not refer
: to your past units... this is from scratch and I do
: not know much about the older units. So describe your
: unit as if this was new.

Yeah, for beta testing it would save alot on emory and updates if we stuck to bascic MythII collections (sprites) but once the map is balanced and works perfect the final release can replace the characters collections for more spice.
The first problem that well face is the limit on "projectile groups" or "lighting" tags...to help this I suggest that alot of the units hard deaths (and soft deaths detonation)be the same..thatll save a few PGs.
As I have stated befor the limit of teleport and lightning should be 4 as far as I remember (yes, together..not each of)...the fetches lightning uses 2 alone and Teleport effects use them.
If units do use the same collection than one of the units can have a Local Projectile Group like a fiery halo to make him look different.
Balancing the units might be a bit tricky if the same players use the same character too.
You do remember how we made it possible to let each player use their own character?...each team has one of each unit with only one being highlighted but can trade for another unit..best if they are all worth the same points :)
