Happy Halloween with a new unit!
« on: 25 October 2008, 02:56:24 »
I've done it... I am now unleashing the seasonal models. For some major seasons, I will make units. I have made one for halloween, and need ideas for christmas (christmas ghost maybe?) and easter (preferalby something for tech) and maybe some other holidays. (a changable soldier for canada/usa's birthdays)

The Pumpkin Ghost is seen on this promotional video that I made on YouTube. Check it out at:
http://http://www.youtube.com/v/NPvqgAqkJRs
(I only just submitted the video, so it may not be viewable yet...)

The Pumpkin Ghost is for the magic faction. It can be summoned late in the game by the summoner (requires you to get an archmage first) it has an attack called pumpkin barrage that deals 250-350 damage on a single unit (impact style) and another energy style attack called halloween horrors which deals about 600 damage with 4 splash.

Enjoy the unit. You can download it here:

I need ideas for a christmas unit too BTW.

Yea, where does this fit in?  What faction?

Or is it in its own faction and can spawn itself?

A, sorry. "Joke" is the wrong word.
I just liked the unit, it's funny ^

It goes in the magic faction and should help balance out things because it is about as strong as the archmage, but it hasn't got splash and has MUCH more HP.

Everything seems balanced. Looks good.

Really cool, and a great kick off for halloween!

BTW, I STILL need an idea for a christmas unit, perhaps for tech (or magic, but it might be nice to alternate between factions)

Pumpkin-heads just aren't serious enough to fit in Magic.  It would fit better in the wacky and unrealistic mod.

Besides, it does have a creepy look to it. And isnt halloween supposed to be scary?

Magic isn't nessessarily scary, per say, but wierd.  A pumpkin ghost just isn't what Magic needs right now.

I know you're biased towards your unit, but try to think of this like other people do.

Sorry but I also agree that I don't think this belongs in any of the main factions. Could be included as a neutral creep in a special theme scenario maybe? And if you go ahead with your idea for a Christmas and Easter units they in my humble opinion would probably also belong in a special theme scenario as a neutral creep. Just my honest opinion, sorry if you don't agree.

Heh, it's just a cool new unit. You don't really have to use it, and you're free to place it in your own factions.
