Wish-List for Dominions 4

[jutetrea]

Wish: Additional scripting commands (2) - 1x turn Defend and rest of battle Defend.

Defend - unit can not move or perform any actions beyond retaliation and retreat. If unit is attacked it will retaliate via melee and if routed will flee. While in "Defend" mode unit gains defensive benefits (depending on balance, opinions)

Defense + (.5 x current Defense) - 10 def -> 15 while "defending"
"Full focus on dodging enemy blows"
MR + (.33 x current MR, rounded down) - 10 MR -> 13 MR while defending
"Unit is unusually alert to any attempt to alter his thoughts"
----
Or possibly double shield bonus for that battle, shrug.

The life energies of xxx sacrifices are captured in this suit of wooden armor. While cumbersome, the energies protect the wearer and impart a portion of their energies into keeping the wearer alive.

I just think it would be cool if there were an item that would enable some of the units that "could" be good thugs but don't quite have the hp for it. A lot of times a 12 hp unit would be just fine as a thug with 27-30 hp. Could use pretty much any item slot, but when creating thugs I always seem to have a very small subset of armors I use. I guess the same could be said of boots/helms as well though.

+15 hp or fear +0?
+15 hp or flying?
+15 hp or Gore?
+15 hp or .....
