Default Re: Trample balance discussion

Instead of creating the fortifications in advance, you could have mages create them on the battlefield.

I don't think it would be difficult to mod, it could be pretty much a clone of the earth elemental spell. Call it 'wall of earth', and give it more range. Make the earth elemental clone immobile and give it a bit more HP. It's fine that the enemy attacks it, that's them tearing it down. You could have the walls shrink like elementals, or just get destroyed when they get to zero HP.

You could make a 'wall of thorns' nature spell too (with poison thorns), 'wall of ice' (cold aura), 'wall of magma' (with heat and fire shield), etc.

If you spammed enough of the spell you could make the battlefield impassible or at least difficult to navigate. The effect wouldn't really be a wall unless you had a line of mages spanning the whole width of the battlefield. But it might give you the effect you're looking for.
