Posts from Let's come up with an amphibian race!

))Let's continue. He emerges from the water onto land: he changes his means of transportation (we still need to come up with one) to a horse, wants to enter the water: he needs to change the horse to... You get the idea. But where does he get it? He already has a horse, and that means of transportation that we come up with remains at the exchange point.

Actually, they don't need anything to move in the water... just like land units need for moving on land... they simply jump off their horses on the shore... and splash into the water... and that's it....

Guys, has anyone ever thought about the meaning of the word "amphibian"? It's like those creatures that live on land. And we're discussing a race that's the opposite of the topic's name... It's a bit strange.

What about Necromancers? Do they even exist? If you really don't like the word "amphibians," then the race will be called GARIANS.

Does your "something" even exist?

Okay, here's the deal. Amphibians, like other races, have a penalty when transitioning between land and sea. To travel on land, they need to buy a ship, and then they can travel on water without penalties. Amphibians have a penalty when traveling on land. Therefore, it will take a considerable amount of time for them to reach the water through dungeons and land (underground seas are not connected to surface seas). But land-based creatures will quickly recoup the cost of their ship. However, amphibians move faster on water.

Let's call them Garians. It's more interesting and sounds better.

Well... the penalty is a given. But the plan is to increase the movement range on land to a normal level. Damn... I'm getting confused. I remember seeing a problem with this somewhere, but I can't recall what it was... :(

Considering that all major battles take place on land, and the Garicians have penalties on land, there's no point in bothering with ships. They don't require that many resources.

Only until a normal level, when land units can improve this.

Evaluate our balance regarding movement on the map. We propose the following: when exiting the water, there are stables where the hero needs to buy a horse; otherwise, the hero's movement is reduced by a factor of n. That is, the hero can move on land, but it's costly. The same applies to land heroes – they can move on water, but slowly. A horse, like a ship, can be summoned with a spell if you left it somewhere. If it's outside the zone, you can buy a horse at the stable, which increases movement on land. The same applies to land units – there are movement enhancers on the sea, where you can buy a ship. The presence of an artifact for movement on land or water remains necessary. If there is no artifact, the ability to move on land/water is absent.
That's it! :)
