Ice Towers

[bchristel]

I'd like to know what everyone else thinks about this idea. I was thinking a tower similar to an inferno, maybe a big icicle that shoots out ice that slows down enemy troops. It could have single shot for more damage, or a multi-target for less damage, but it targets more troops.

I thought about one that shoots out freeze potion, momentarily stopping troops in there place. However i feel as though such a thing would be unfair.

Yeah I thought about that too, but like you said its unfair, so i just figured maybe it could slow down the troops and maybe do a little damage.

Could be a good idea if sc makes it not to op or a troop to help or like witches skeleton art affected or something like that

Like the idea. This is one of the better new building ideas. Could become a nice defence added to the game if sc manages to balance it well.

I like the idea. Personally prefer to see it be a purely support tower with no damaging effects. Maybe make the amount of slowing based on unit housing space (and obviously tower level).

Lvl 1 tower in single mode could freeze a unit, in place, of housing space 20 of less after say 10 seconds of lock. Would initially slow until the unit stops moving all together. After the unit is destroyed it moves to the next available target, maybe make target selection based on unit weight? Obviously, for lighter units, this time would be quicker. lvl2 could stop a unit of housing space 25, lvl3 30.

Multi version could apply a flat rate slow with no chance of freeze. Say 20% with a 7% increase/lvl.

The numbers are just place holders, maybe they'll work but probably not. Freeze golems in place seems a little op. Just trying to dig into the tower mechanics not so much the numbers.
