SwordmenTypes

Well one of the things that i have been trying to do while planning the campaign was making a tech tree that follow and complement the Elven playstyle during the RoC undead chapter.

The units were using "guerrilla" warfare supported by their caster and the extra movility of the gates. My idea was making the Farstrider and Merc units to fill the units that didn't existed during the campaign, like Cavalry, Air support, Anti caster, Tank, etc.

And for why three types of the same unit, well that was simple, i like the idea of the Heros from different factions having their own units tunned to their role. Rangers being the most traditional take, Farstriders being the jack of all trades, and the Mercs being the glass cannons.


For example:

Ranger Corps Swordman: have their defend ability as the core of the job, their secundary ability is a speed enhancer to make them move faster for short periods of time with a long cooldown.

Farstrider Hunter: Defend, and Weapon change to attack in range.

Merc Swordman: Defend and Double attack, has 25% of double their damage with 5 seconds of cooldown per attack.
