Squad Captains

[Sunleader]

Well i think it should be that Guard Guy with a Flag on his Back
He only has a Sword without any Further Weapons
So he should not be Strong
but he Should be able to take some more Hits then other Soldiers :P
so he doesnt Die so fast
Means he should be Weak at Attack but have Good HP and Armor

Since each Squad has him he will only Drag out Fights a little due to his Armor
He wont have any Influence on the outcome :P

[selridion]

your basically agreeing with me, but your a lil stuck on the fact you want him to have stats
which then you say yourself having captains wont change the outcome of a fight
whats the point of giving a unit stats, if those stats cancel eachother out

sounds like wasting time and effort on making it that way
you may as well just make the captain a purely aesthetic guy holding a flag or banging some drums ( orcs like drums more then flags)


this reminds me of some other game
to make squads you needed a flag carrier and a drummer :P and a captain and a load of rifleman or whatever type of units you wanted to make a squad out of
and once you got all those ingredients they would fuse together into a squad
forgot what game this was tho :P a old one for sure

[Sunleader]

Well
Its fine if we Disagree on smaller Parts :P
Its not like Ideas need to Implemented exactly as they were proposed ^^

I basicly want to give him Stats so he can Join Combat
I dislike the Idea of having an Unit in the Field which wont Fight

Means I only want that he has Stats so he looks the Part

He could also just Represent the Wholes Squad Life and Die if the Squad goes down or falls below a certain number of Health

Means if he is Damaged the Squad would get Damage spreaded
and his Damage will be same as if a Unit of the Squad was Hitting the Enemy

It could also just be the same Stats as the Squad has


The Only thing I dont want is that there is a Static Guy standing on the Battlefield not Fighting :P

So enough of this
Back to Topic

Yeah
Something along the Lines of Warhammer is much more the Type of Squad Captain that I am talking about.

Something like a Kommissar Attached to an Squad of Imperial Riflemen

Tough I want it to be an Researchable Upgrade for the Unit
not as own Unit to be Attached
(Think that would match the current Game Mechanics better)

Means each Squad would have one after the Research is done for that Squad

Greetz

Rage.

Anyway- Stats for captain is no. Extra unit with visuals = yes. The end. Less work and a lot less balancing to do.

@selridion
I already said this to the Guy who I got on Ignore now and which I now still can read since you quoted him lol


This Thread is solely about a Squad Captain
for ONE Squad
and which is only there to add to the Atmosphere of the Game


The Suggestion for an Hero Unit with Own Stats supposed to lead your Armys is Here

Pls stop mixing it in here ......

idk what he's saying. Must be delusional if he assumes we're taking about hero units with their own stats...I mean..Sun was talking about that instead of us? lol

Squad Captain for ONE squad...so just one squad? Makes no sense considering the name "squad captain" usually refers to a multiple number of squads...

Squad Captain should be an extra unit /v different visuals, not stats. We're not talking about heroes. Someones way over their head...

[selridion]

you should both quit it
each time you post a post to point fingers at 1 other is a post wasted on the wrong subject
just keep it on topic or be quiet...

btw about squad captains

what if a pack of archers has a captain... but he is melee ;P
wouldn't that be awkward ?
on other words the captain has to be "same unit type as squad"
or else its gonna be sorta weird

or of course a stationary unit who tells the squad what to do (with his flag) or maybe hands :P
it sure makes it all complicated :P
i think i prefer coop over squad captains after thinking some more of it

buddhist is arguing against someone and saying things behind his back since he got ignored that says a few things


as for the archers/melee thing maybe if he was always mounted that way its easier to tell the difference (but his speed stays the same as the troops because he doesn't want to break formations and all)
