What do you think about this new classes?Many year ago,there is only 3 classes : Knight,Archer and Worker Now it time to make ideas about new classes.SPEARTRONS!!! And what kind creature of this?
The problem with the spear unit is that it can POTENTIALLY make the Knight unit obsolete IF not balanced properly.
Think about this, if you make the spear unit give out more damage than the knight then that means no one would build knights anymore since they would have less reach and less damage. Or say they have the same damage, then the issue still remains, no one would build Knights anymore because they have less range. So instead you make the spear unit dish out, let's say 1/4 less damage than knights, but have SIGNIFICANTLY greater reach than the knight.
This would ensure that spear units fulfill an unseen niche in castle story. Melee dedicated units that can attack safely within a castle's wall, or behind the walls of a bunker/barricade. For multiplayer I have no idea how to balance them though since I don't have a connection fast enough for multiplayer.
You're not really wrong, I think it's a good idea, if implemented properly. Again I think it would be cool to have some sort of long reaching unit thats' not the bow and arrow, it would bring great variety to fortifications.
