My idea is to have a level 1 Barbarian king do cleave damage to at least 2 more units, and would increase by 1 per 2 levels. He would do 100% damage to the main target, and 50% to 75% damage to 2 additional targets. I think it only make sense because he weilds a huge sword. It would also help when he's being swarmed.
Agreed. Suggested something similar a while back, but not the reduced damage per unit thing. I think I like that better. I just suggested that instead of his attack being traditional splash damage that he at least is able to impart his DPS on 3 or 4 troops at once, because, as you mentioned, that sword is as big as a barb and it seems a bit silly that his giant swing only hits one unit at a time (If you want me to believe that then his attack needs to be changed to a dainty poke, like fencing). The idea of the damage being reduced depending on the distance of the target is a good one as it symbolizes his sword swing slowing as it passes through the first few targets. Kind of gruesome but at least its realism. I also like the idea of that slightly increasing as he levels up. Good suggestions!
