self copy?

[EvilNecroid]

ive never seen my guy use this ability??

The ability summons a duplicate of the unit that vanishes after a few seconds or if it gets damaged, and it only summons if the unit is successfully attacking/killing enemy units. I don't think it would work with ranged units as effectively.

Far from it.
I made a unit that was basically a weak ass fighter with the wayy to short stiffy sword and no shield, but it had fear and self copy.
Putting 10 down versus 10 squires worked beautifully. The self copy meant that even with just a few of them left, they had several copies that gave them temporary numbers twice their actual amount.
Self copy greatly confuses the enemy units, in groups of self-copy units it allows a force to keep its numbers bumped up with copies so it will win battles through attrition as it loses fighting strength more slowly. The only drawback is how the copies can't take more than 1 hit and disappear after a few seconds so you can't make a huge army.
Far from useless, I believe, but it also depends on how powerful the unit using it is by itself, since the copies are just as strong.

To me no it can overwhelm strong units

Hitting/killing things triggers self copy. When monkey king anime leaps and knocks somethings head off - self copy

ok if my guy turns into a demon or a bat that that stop self copy from working?
