Oni First & Second Shapes
Perhaps I'm not understanding things:
According to the ONI uni descriptions (e.g.,Kuro-Oni)
"Oni are almost immortal. If their body is slain, their spirit will survive.....if the spirit is not slain or banished as well, it will reform a new body over time."
Now, according to the unit db, kuro oni - and others use the 1rstshape / 2ndshape commands. Whats the big deal?
Well, according to manual, changing upon death should be handled by the secondtmpshape command.
The issue as I see it - is that the Oni currently change upon any significant damage, rather than upon death. So, not only does this vary with the unit as described it has game implications, nameley:
1. Oni units may change from a missile troop to a non missile troop.
2. Effective strength decreases. Instead of being able to absorb one hit, damage irrelevent and then revert to a second shape, the unit reverts somewhere around 50%. This means a 4-12 effective hit point difference.
Or am I completely misunderstanding something?
