Default Re: SC\'s vs Thugs

Ivy King? Treelord? That's a bit far-fetched, don't you think?

There are lots of myths about various shape-shifter mages and such. Wizards turning into birds, wolves, bears, etc. Even into trees. But a Treelord is a bit too much! Vine men, even Vine Ogres, I could see.

Besides, I'm sure just allowing Transform to turn the caster into one of the many possible units created but not updated to Transformation's list would be enough. Moose and Bears, Great Lions, etc.

Besides, where have you seen Werebears? The only ones I remember are Jotunheim's Skinshifters mentioned in one of the DevDiaries. Oops, sorry, even they turn into wolves.

Possibility exists for turning into a Dragonfly as very rare... why not have these as very rare. Making them the jackpot of the gamble. And considering they're obviously of nature I don't think they should be banned from the possibility.

Well all the ones you listed have terrible MR and only two misc slots... leaving the spell as really not worth risking the nature mage. The spell has to be improved enough to be considered for use.

Just giving a possible example of a unit within DOM_3 since this change will only be made within DOM_3.
