Ermine

How do you think the Ermine race should be set up?

QuoteI would like you to address these sort of questions:

-What should the racial spell be?
example, marten has Gold Mine which gets you more money

-What should the race bonuses be?
If you don't know what those are, here's a link to how they used to be set up: http://www.redwallwarlords.com/rwl.php?action=help&guide=races

-What should the races general stratagy(s) be?

-Any other idea's as to what to do with races?

I think it should be done away with altogether, it was stupid to begin with. Ermines and stoats are the same darn thing.

lol, i will seriously consider your suggestion. 13 races is a LOT to work with and we don't have that many angles to the game.

Gen. Volkov · September 29, 2006, 10:09:32 PM

LOL. Yeah, I never got why he added this race, it's barely used, and I don't think there's any particular strat associated with it that can't be done better with another race.

Meh, it always had good scouting bonuses. Maybe give it good food production and make it a HPR race?

ermine is fine, dont take it ou8t of the game. heck im first on reg with an ermine. what it needs is for its special spell to produce more land per cast

I was about to say that I can't even remember any ermine being in the Redwall books, but there's probably one or two.

Of course, no one seems to care whether the game relates to the series or not anymore...

Two, at least. Foxwolf's Dirgecallers, from The Bellmaker.

And no, most people don't.

Gen. Volkov · October 01, 2006, 11:41:17 PM

I still think it should be done away with.

Wolf Snare · October 02, 2006, 12:11:50 AM

Ermin should be turned into an indying race. with its mercinarys bonus so high (+20), it could sell its troops higher, and make more money from them. Give them a +10 to +20 bonus in training and even out the food to +0. This will make for a powerful indy race, which could very well compete with marten. also, its leader spell should still produce land, its an interesting idea, if it worked on a slightly larger scale. maybe casting 70 acres for a good cast.

{ im tired too } :-o

Dependent on NW? God no. That would run into the same sort of problems as we did with Pressgang, different specific problems, but still there.

[edited to make more sense, lol volky is tired]

Could we have this thread un-stickied?

Peace Alliance · October 10, 2007, 07:56:17 AM

Never know if someone wants to add in a new race to our current ones. If they can think of a legitimate strategy and make it fit properly into the current game then i might consider it.

taekwondokid42 · October 10, 2007, 01:58:37 PM

yeah, but does it have to be stickied?

Gen. Volkov · October 11, 2007, 03:13:46 AM

Still think the race should just be eliminated. I didn't like it when Retto introduced it, and I still don't like it.
