Re: About the most minor tweak you could imagine

Don't get me started on the unicorns again...

P.S. You know, a unicorn horn should be considered magical and armor-piercing, from what I've read about unicorns. And if you disagree, I suggest you read The Last Unicorn again

This is a good thing.

Had such scout in a game, I renamed it (with the powerful Renaminator engine we had in Doms I , may he RIP...) Garret the Guild master, and I dropped him amidst my pack of soldiers. I was happy with that, and I felt sad when he got squashed by a troll in a battle.

Why do unicorn riders with long weapons not get an Alicorn attack? In Dom I a knight with a lance also gets his broadsword attack and a hoof attack. Has this changed, or is there something I don't know about the way Dom I worked?

and by the way, thanks for the reply http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif <hr /></blockquote>As far as I can remember, most of the Unicorn riders have the Alicorn attack. There are just a few, who are using super-long weaponry and thus (I'd assume) are trying to stay farther away from the enemy than would permit a stab from their mount's horn. It may even have been changed, actually, to have them Alicorn-equipped by now; what I'm remembering is from an earlier beta and I haven't encountered the random national heroes I'm thinking about again since then.
