Get rid of steadfast.

[js138]

Radical, I know, but I'm really starting to dislike it.

Dwarvish guardsmen, in particular (how often do we see the merman hoplite anyway?)

A unit which can when it chooses fight for normal damage, yet can defensively stick to half damage most of the time (which on a village can be a long time). Ick.

You could get much the same effect by doubling the resistances and halving the unit's attack stats, and it would be a true defensive unit without this sudden charge-like ability to do normal damage. (heck if you gave such a unit charge it _would_ be more or less identical to what we have).

The dwarvish cavalryguardsman meme strikes again. (Yes I also think the guardsman now has too much movement)

Just my 2p (and to start debate hopefully)

What do you think of reducing Steadfast's effect from 50% to 30%?

It would be good. Although I think 25% might be even better. Most specialties do stuff in increments of 25%, after all.


Hm... since knalgans seem very unbalanced, I'm going to leave off developing my dwarf campaign until they're a bit better...

It would be an improvement, reducing the %age.

The alternative would be that if steadfast is being employed, the unit doesn't fight back at all, since it's spending all it's time defending. I like this less tho, since a couple of steadfast units and a village are still very difficult to shift.
