New Troop: The Knight.

[Siddmaster]

Siddmaster here, I thought a new troop out today, and I thought you guys might want to hear about it.

The Knight

"The Knight charges wildly about on his horse, ramming into buildings at random."
The Knight is a...well...knight. He wears blue knight armor with yellow on it. The horse is brown and is about as tall as the knight, who is just a little taller than a barbarian. His sword is silver and slightly longer than a barbarian's. At level two his sword gets bigger and changes color to black. At level 3 his armor changes from to black with purple on it. He rams through buildings, doing damage when he touches them. He is never still, so his target always changes. He does slight splash damage. When attacking walls he runs on the sides of them, doing damage with his sword. The damaging all buildings is balanced out, though, by the fact he can barely do any damage on a single building before moving on.
Stats:
Dark Barracks level 6 is when it is unlocked.
Dark barracks level 6 is unlocked at TH9.
Dark Barracks level 6 takes 10 days to finish (tell me if this is too long).
They take up 15 housing space.
They take 6 minutes to train.
He has no favorite target.
His speed is 30. As far as I know, the fastest troop in the game. This is so he does less damage to a single building. Like the inferno tower, his attack has infinite length.
At level one, he has 400 health.
At level two, he has 442 health.
At level three, he has 495 health.
At level one, he has 53 DPS.
At level two, he has 71 DPS.
At level three, he has 92 DPS.
At level one, his cost is 70 DE.
At level two, his cost is 78 DE.
At level three, his cost is 83 DE.
Research cost for level one to level two: 40,000 DE.
Research cost for level two to level three: 80,000 DE.
So to sum it up:

Favorite Target: None.
Damage Type: Splash Damage.
Targets: Ground.
Housing Space: 5.
Training Time: 5M.
Movement Speed: 30.

Hope you liked it! Please give me feedback, if any of this troop's aspects is overpowered or underpowered, etc. Also vote one on the top two and one on the bottom two options. Thx!

So he's like a mortar on a horse?

His range is where he is, as the mortar is a long range and takes a while to shoot. The only thing that the knight has in common with a mortar is that he does splash (I think less than a mortar)

WAY too cheap. It costs about as much as a valkyrie and takes the time of a hog rider to train. Plus, he has 30 speed, so he messes up buildings all over the place. Maybe.. Make it so that he attacks a tower until he is hit two times by something, then moves on. And maybe, make the dps go upwards to 80dps being the max (for level one), and starting at, say, 40 or 50dps. It will go up, like the inferno tower, depending on time.

Well the spread out damage is the whole point of the troop. I'll look up into the cost and training time, though. And because it's so fast it wouldn't make much of a difference. And the 1-2 hit before moving on can make the troop way UP, IMHO. The DPS could stay the same because even though he does damage to all the buildings, he is so fast he can not do much damage before he moves on. Thanks for the feedback, though!

I think it's a great idea. The speed and dps isn't too out of balance either, because as you stated, he moves too quickly and attacks so many buildings in such a short amount of time, that it doesn't really make a difference.

Even though the stickies say otherwise, I think this troop suggestion is very acceptable.

My only thought: with the Knight being slightly taller than a barbarian, and his horse being as tall as him, it might be a little too big. But then again, you have this more thought out than I do. You might have a different image than I do in my head.

I don't see the Damage Per Second. Did you include it?

Honestly, I don't think we need a new troop. What we need is for someone to come up with a good idea for a new hero. But troop wise I think there are enough.
