Engineer

the name is up for grabs rn but please tell me what you think

Name originally from Asdmus's Engineer, general idea from clockwork dwarf. Inspired by both the conquerer and clockwork dwarf.

Engineer: 1
Ability: Sets up stationary turrets over the places of previous buildings
HP: 275
Attack Speed: 3 sec (accounted with moving as well) (the set up for the turrets)
Damage Per Second: None (Covered in turret part
Space: 15
Max Turrets built: 3 (only three can exist at one time, explained in turret portion)
Time created: 7 minutes 30 seconds
Cost: 375 dark elixir
Movement Speed: 14
What they look like: A skinny builder with a plus on his hat.
Notes: breaks wall automatically after twelve seconds. resets turret cool down (stacking is included, does quarter health damage per so if 4 were placing a turret on one it'd take 3 seconds to destroy the wall., they use hammers like builders to build the turrets and destroy walls)

Turrets: 1
Health: 180
Attack Speed: .5 seconds
DPS: 25
Space: 2x2
Time Created by Engineer: 3 seconds
Range: 5 tiles
Movement Speed: stationary
Extra info: turrets are destroyed automatically if no building or troop is in range. Obviously cannot set off traps. Can be a max of 3 (for engineer level 1). Should an engineer find a better space for a turret, he will wait over it and hope to not die, once a turrets job is over and it explodes, he places another one.
Description: A corresponding level cannon in appearance, can only be placed of the places of previous buildings, single target, fires cannon balls. Shoots over/through walls, will not break walls if in the area

I honestly think this is a really interesting idea. I like it.

thank you, this is just the basic mechanics of it... @Dunghaufen puns.... Anyway, this is the basic structure and i JUST WANTED TO SEE A STRATEGICAL ATTACKING piece in the game. Sorry for the caps, pressed caps lock. It attacks multiple buildings without attacking at all and basically is its own weakness as it does nothing. Its the reciprocal of the witch in this way

It's an interesting idea, but it needs a bit of work for now.

I really don't like the idea that it automatically breaks a wall after 3 seconds... That seems a little OP'd in my opinion. And it kind of neutralizes the point of having a wall, not to mention neutralizing Wall Breaker troops. Let's not forget the importance of them little guys~

Also, not being effected by traps is incredibly OP'd too! Even if it doesn't trigger the traps, that's OP'd! Traps are an essential piece of defending a Base; Almost as important as Towers!

I would also like to hear an explanation of targeting him. Will towers target him in response to being attacked by his turret? Or will he just be as good as any other troop to target?

GL!

cool idea... but for the name, it could be "Crafter" because it matches with the fantasy / old / magical theme of the game!

Thanks both for feed back. To answer the first dilemma, it is only when there is no where else to go but inside walls, so like an archer, if its turrets cannot hit anything else and the AI is smart enough to not run around the edge of the base, he will create a self-destructing turret that basically destroys the wall, up to a certain amount of course, in 1 shot. Remember that turrets can hit over walls so basically if there is nothing in any adjacent compartments or anything. this is more for those last second battles when you just can't get past those walls but all defenses are gone. I will try to reconfigure the stats though and add in something but basically imagine a wall breaker's strength of 1 level ahead of the mechanic or engineer.

As for the name, this much doesn't matter much, SC will figure it out.

Will reply to the second half after i reread my own thread.

ok so to reiterate, the extra info is only for the turrets themselves i believe, sorry if you misinterpreted. The engineer of course is able to be hit by bombs and such but if he places a turret where a trap is, it will not be set off, nor do any damage to the turret. He doesn't have a range so he will get hit but no damage will come to the turret. With the targeting system, its more or less the same free for all but I'm sure something like cannons could be extra alert towards turrets, not necessarily the engineer. He is a support troop and can easily be shot down...

Generally I don't try to claim recognition for an idea; but this thread of yours only came out after I had mentioned the engineer idea in a sticky post. I haven't added any posts about the troop yet so I guess there can't really be any links related to me; but you should at least reference the clockwork dwarf; which is what originally inspired the idea.

Interesting concept AND of course (hehe) nice MECHANICS! ;)

But it's only a mixture between the clockdwarf and the conqueror... I don't rlly know the clockdwarf, but I like the conqueror from hiflya more then the engineer... Don't hang me but that's my opinion! :)

Havent seen hilfilya's conqueror but guess it's along similar grounds; and whoever made the clockwork dwarf deleted their post I think, because I tried looking it up and it's not showing.

My main reason for pointing out a lack of reference though is because when someone else made a post about a vampire venom got all up in arms over it, so to go and essentially do the same thing with another concept just gives out an unpleasant vibe.

we're all just sharing ideas here so there isn't exactly any ownership over anything; but if something else clearly inspired your thread it is a courteous gesture to throw a bone towards the original post or make a mention of who inspired the idea. ijs
