Well, i really love those animosity ideas, they are all exactly whats in the orcs armybook, but i think that there should also be a chance to get a good result from animosity, say the affected unit get a temporary 'enraged' promotion which lasts untill he next attacks. this gives that unit some % of extra strength, or a blitz like ability. this promotion would mean that the animosity trait for orcs wont deter people from playing them, becaue thier units wont ALWAYS be arguing amongst them.
Which brings me to another point: when do orcs get affected by animosity? is it only during peace time? only during war? or all the time? i wold way only during peace, as it would make them more war like.
Thanks for that feedback PL.
Curious though, if we only trigger animosity during peace time, whats the use of a Positive Bonus like +% str or blitz? You can't use it against anyone, also we couldn't use the Show'em, as there would be no one to attack. What do people think? limit to peace time or all time animosity checks?
Another easy effect is to code is to disband the unit from animosity as well (fit with - only in peace time idea), but since it wasn't in the list i haven't done it. If we do add a promotion during animosity, can I request a uniuqe promotion? It will be easier to remove on the next turns animosity check if ther is a set of ANIMOSITY_TYPE promotions I can load in a check list
EDIT: Also, do we want a "Quell Animosity" unit ability / promotion ability. For example, on promotion of combat 3, unit is now immune to Animosity or because unit is in adjacent square unit is immune to animosity
