I think immunity to cold isn't the same as immunity to water and I don't think it really fits with the Sandworm
same for poison I'd sooner make it poison resistant (I actually will I think)
Of course it isn't the same! BUT we have no specific resistances, etc. for Sailor's Death, etc. And giving THIS creature low MRE would be just stupid.

awesome attack (which btw doens't target itself since it's 2x a AOE 1 attack I think
Of course AOE 1 can't hit itself, but I meant larger AOE, while 2 attacks look about the same as flying icon for me..

I wanted to keep the VERY high damage on devour since it could then kill large (size 6 creatures)..
Well, it can do it with, say, basic dmg 30 + Str 30 quite well.
Quote:
sandworms actually just devour.. they don't really trample at all.
Actually they did it quite well - in cases of not-dextrous-enough riders... But this, of course, was purely accidental. Also, do you plan to include siege bonus or just let its size & strength speak for themselves?

I want a nice balance for a strong troop
Well, some could say that 999-damage area attack isn't quite their idea of a nice balance...
Quote:
I actually think stealth does apply since if they are deep they can't be found IMHO...
I also think a burrowing unit would really be able t do the same things a flying unit can I would just like it to not have the flying symbol show up.
Too large! Ground tremors would give it away long before it will rise to attack.
Also, combination of flying & stealth is quite powerful by itself, without insane stats which Shai-Hulud should have.

I would love to hear if size 7 is possible though
Me, too! I just don't have an itch to test it myself. You can do it while working on unit...
