Equestria at War
By: Sadowi Date: November 6, 2016, 1:00 am
---------------------------------------------------------
From the limited amount of time here I can understand that video
games are quite popular here.
I am going to draw inspiration or directly copy the thread, made
by Korsy, that was on Bolt's forum; I know at least three of you
have already posted there, so if you don't want to repost or
write a new one here that's all right.
This is based on a Warcraft III meme, also modified by Korsy,
but it works for Starcraft as well.
Link to the template is here:
HTML http://sta.sh/024eeovi4vv1
The template is large, so the link is to save space.
Also, if you like, send me a picture reference of your character
and I'll make an MTG card of your OC.
And here is an example using Sadowi.
Name: Sadowi
Faction: Undead, Independent
Buildings required:
Undead:
Necropolis, level 1, "Selfbound spirits" upgrade applied
Independent:
Cemetery, level 1, "Burial at sea" upgrade applied
Purchase cost (Optional): 50 lumber/minerals, 200 gold/vespene
gas, 1 capacity needed
-------------
Abilities (Does your character have any abilities the player can
call upon to support their own forces or wreak havoc on the
enemy?)
1. Swim (used near bodies of water)
---When used, this character will jump into a nearby body of
water. While underwater his speed is reduced by 25 percent and
he may not attack, but his vision range remains the same. He
becomes translucent but not cloaked, like how friendly cloaked
units appear. Detectors are not needed to spot him, but enemies
will not attack him unless directed to, 70 percent chance of
being hit.
2. Dive (used while and switches with swimming)
---This character goes further down into the depths, avoiding
all attacks but reducing his speed to one-third.
Passives (Does your character have any abilities that always are
active?)
1. Active Camouflage (only when not underwater)
---Reduces enemy units and buildings' attack range by 50 percent
and their accuracy to 70 percent when attacking this character.
2. Regeneration
---This character can recover lost hit points.
3. Weak to Fire
---Taking lethal damage from any fire based attack greater than
or equal to his current hit points will instantly destroy this
character.
4: Fragmentation
---If this character takes lethal damage from any other source,
he will fall to pieces onto the ground and lie there. He will be
destroyed if he is hit with fire during the time, but after 120
seconds he will be revived.
