Something that needs redoing

[Juzza]

Machaka!! if nothing else needs to have its sprites redone, it's just sorta a nation that's there also, I have a few bugs about it.

Spider fangs do 16 dmg nsta

Spider fangs from black hunter do 18 dmg nsta

these both have other effects but they work fine, my issue is, is that should the rider die you are left with:

Yet when 2 dmg fangs with only 11 str great or black hunter spider.

Why without a rider do they do less damage, or why with one do they do more?

Past that I love the nation! and I would love to see updates of the graphical and new unit/spell types!

Some Machaka ideas have been tossed around, but I have no idea of their priority compared to some of other stuff being worked on at the moment. But Kristoffer may get an inspiration from your post, so don't lose hope.

One more issue on Machaka. If spider rider gets poisoned and dies, remaining poison will still affect spider who is poison immune. This is a bug, probably.

Indeed.

Machaka would be my favorite nation if it's province defense wasn't so terrible. I mostly play large maps where this weakness becomes obviously painful. It's first set of PD units have no shields, no protection, 8 morale and only a spear!


As a result, whether you're playing SP or MP it's unwise to invest more than 1 point of PD because even when the better PD arrives at 20 and beyond you still have the weak garbage troops in greater numbers and them dying so easily means you'll more likely retreat in battle.
