Dwarf Phalanx

My spear! Where is my spear !?

Two new spear units for to the Dwarf roster, delivered with a uniq charge bracing ability, and a defensive formation ability.

When a enemy unit engage the phalanx, the Braced Charge Defense ability will be triggered for 4 seconds, applying one buff to the phalanx and a debuff to the enemy unit in melee with it.

1. Enemy charge in phalanx
2. Effect trigger for 4 seconds
3. Phalanx in contact with enemy will do 1/2 attack animation
4. Enemy entities receives high damage because of buff+debuff and die

Like this a lot of enemy entities will die during the first few seconds of an engagement, mimicking their impalement on the dwarven spears.

In campaign, upgrades on Dwarfs Warriors affect them.

While under the Phalanx formation ability, few medium units (e.g. Orcs) will be able to hit the dwarfs while their shorts arms won’t be able to reach their foes.

One solution is to let the phalanx absorb the charge and then disable the formation. I like this solution as it reminds me of a scene with dwarves, stupid elves and some ugly guys.

My units have always lack custom icons, cool looking unit cards and portholes.
