Serfs and Rogues
PostPosted: 04 Feb 2013, 16:42
--- Conceptual idea = Open to suggestions ---
My grandfather started playing this game a few weeks ago and he told me that he found it somewhat sad that all his serfs were killed by the enemy's soldiers when they invaded his town. I told him that there are plans to make a hide-out for them, but then my grandmother walked in. She thought that someone who was not able to defend himself was not worthy of a long life (she used to be a martial arts professional). Anyways, my idea is as follows: why don't we allow the serfs to pick up a stone from the stone mason when the town is under attack? They can then (using animations from the rogue units) protect themselves by throwing at most three stones before having to replenish. It may work to counter rushes (the poorly executed ones; good rushes deserve to win) and give your teammates some time to react. Most of the time, people march into your town and immediately block the entrance to your barracks (even with towers nearby as protection, since they seem to miss more often inside a town; kinda random and not proven though). Please give me some feedback on this suggestion and be aware that it's only a conceptual idea for now.
