Cho-ko-nu (Chinese repeating fire xbow) - ACCEPTED

[K00]

The ancient Chinese invented an automatic crossbow. It had a clip of 10 fletching-less arrows and was inaccurate, usually used against masses of men and horses.

[djlj46]

A archer that has the ability to shoot 2 arrows at once
Power 4
range 5
armor 0
pierce armor 2
site 5
speed 3
cost 3

So what do think

[Stratego (dev)]

like the AOF one?

[RiverRaider 1097]

I like him archers are my unit of choice anyway, but could be used to finish of two defenders when they have just that speck of red left, this is a very good idea I know I would use him )

[zteven2]

Range 8 health ? Exp ? Training time 4 turns

[Ublaz Mad Eyes]

Cho-ko-nu
Shoots fire arrows
Cost of 4
Range of 11? (Ummm... How much is ordinary crossbow Archer? Two more than that.)
Same HP & armors
Higher attack
Requires gunpowder

[COOLguy]

lol, you mean range 8. A normal crossbow has range 6. A trebuchet has range of 10 and that is the longest range by far.

Sounds very cool!

[DoomCarrot]

WHAT??!? I WANT AN 11 RANGE FIRE XBOW ARMY!

[TheBluePhoenix]

I like it too
With upgrades it becomes a fire shooting treb!!

[Ublaz Mad Eyes]

Actually 10/11 could make sense because the archers had bamboo tubes full of gunpowder that turned the arrows into rockets.

Is the Crossbow Archer only 6? That's only the range of a longbowman!

[DoomCarrot]

Woah, so they basically invented a fallout weapon.

That is pretty awesome actually, they are basically crossbow/cannons.

[Ublaz Mad Eyes]

:-] Yeah...

[HokanPL]

And I suggest it should be an upgrade of normal fire archer, +1 range, +2 attack, and a bit more hp. Better attack and range you can invent, too (Master archery lv1, 2)

Aye, i agree with this. Nice

[Hardeep]

Still means we need a new Icon

[DoomCarrot]

I like the idea for it to be a fire archer upgrade.

Also, units like these are cool, they would add a lot to a nations gamemode if it is ever implemented.

[COOLguy]

Well that wouldn't make sense to have a normal unit upgrade to a national unit.

true

[DoomCarrot]

Hm, Idk. If it's a standalone unit, I don't see how it would be useful in a normal gamemode, unless we make it substantially better than a fire archer or an xbow maybe?

[COOLguy]

Requires gunpowder

?

According to Wikipedia, these were just repeating crossbows and didn't use Chinese Fire Arrows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_crossbow

Should we rethink this unit on that basis and open a new topic for a Chinese Fire Arrow unit?

[COOLguy]

and open a new topic for a Chinese Fire Arrow unit?

Nevermind Found it viewtopic.php?f=82&t=1840&p=12964&hilit ... ws+#p12964

Not affected by blacksmith tech

Double firing fire archer. Can be a very good anti buildings.

[godOfKings]

Nice

[makazuwr32]

1 question - will they gain blacksmith upgrades?
Also i think for 3 turns 6 range and 4 damage along with 2 shots is quite op if he is affected by blacksmith upgrades. Lower range by 1 if it is affected by blacksmith upgrades.

[samuelch]

Maybe?

[godOfKings]

I think they shouldn't, if they did cost should b 4 to not make fire archers obsolete, and may b they have less bonus against ships compared to fire archers, currently stats r like slinger with higher range and burning weapons for one more turn cost,

[COOLguy]

Accepted.

[Stratego (dev)]

[godOfKings]
