Animated Armor - Magical Machine of War

Beskrivelse
~~

"He was excited. We had conducted this experiment many times, and it never succeded. But this time we're crossing a line that we shouldn't. To bind a soul to an object, turning it into a machine of war. He started binding the resting soul. The armor suddenly began moving. I don't remember exactly what happened next, but the laboratory was completely destroyed. He called this experiment a -success-"
- Unknown, notebook found in laboratory ruins

This mod adds the Animated Armor unit for each race, buildable in the Arcane Forge!

The Animated Armor is a powerful and unrelenting tier III melee unit with resistance against Physical, Fire, Spirit and Blight and general high defence. However, with a very low resistance of 8 and high weaknesses to Frost and Shock it will be easy to take down if you don't play your cards right.

Its role is meant to be a devastating siege machine. He is no weakling at close combat, but lacks high burst prevalent in other tier III units like the human Knight. Instead this unit can sustain high amounts of physical damage while tearing down walls, and can detonate itself to destroy many weak units at once/destroy wooden walls quickly/deal huge damage to stone walls. Caution: the explosion can easily obliterate any friendly units caught in the blast!

To do list
- More Magical Construct units (if you have ideas, please mention them!)
- More upgrades

--Updates--

- Added upgrade: Arcane Reinforcement
Gives extra base health, resistance and shock resist to Magical Constructs

- Added abilities on rank up

- Icons have been added!
The Animated Armor, Arcane Reinforcement upgrade and Magical Construct ability have now unique icons!

-Added Arcane Selfdestruct (with unique particle effect!)
The Animated Armor now has a unique ability called Arcane Selfdestruct: detonate all the latent magic in the unit, dealing massive damage to units in a 3 hex radius and damaging walls. However, this completely destroys the unit with NO way to resurrect it. As the unit is quite costly, it is not worth it to build them purely as suicide bombers (I do plan to create a suicide bomber unit though)

-Raised the number of models per unit from 1 to 3, and made them a bit bigger
Purely aesthetic

- Animated Armor now has Wall Crushing to complement his detonation ability!

" it will be easy to take down if you don't play your cards right." ?!?!? hahaha

I am apparently very derpy, as I just saw the arcane consatruct ability. Derp.

I'm derping out here, but I'm trying to figure out what "arcane construct" means gameplay-wise. Does the unit need magic origin and machine to count? I'm asking because neither succubi or trebuchets got a bonus in a test-game.

Hm, I dunno if your still working on this mod, but if you are, id love to see a heavy tanky construct like this but with like, a "Arcane Golem" style theme, maybe as a new tier 3 summon unit for sorcerer's they can use instead of the serpents? I for one hate that snake as a class tier 3 unit q-q

Could just be a earth/frost golem with some simple recoloring/glowing body/slightly incomporeal like eldritch knights/or little runes on it or something. Thoughts?

Animated stone vyvern (gargolye) as an idea

Interesting mod, but not sure while did not tried. Also personally I dont believe that animated armour should be a T3 )) cheap T1 will be fine, but it's up to community opinion

Since you are into the forge, I would love to have some sort of treasure building (call it the dwarven smithy or something) that gives the Arcane forge 1 extra FP in the connected city

that would be a really cool alternative to the necromacy style but more senseable with good alignment. Can we add races in? If so you could even go so far as to make a race of sentient constructs.

@Yarx of Boletaria Very interesting idea, a body-possessing soul would indeed be possible (create an ability that mind controls a unit but kills the original). Could be an alternate version of a banshee/lost soul. I've been messing around with more necromancer-type units (for dwellings and roaming camps)
