Feature for a PATCH - Keshik Defensive Bombard

[statusperfect]

There is no logic in not giving the Keshik a defensive bombard. It is a weak UU that could use improvement. And the fact that it's a mounted archer just makes the ide even more appealing.

Any feeback from firaxis/breakaway appreciated.

Here is the thread where the idea first came up:

Finally, someone likes my ideas!

Maybe Jeff can give us an answer... maybe the just forgot about it!

My guess is it wasn't considered at all

Do any other mounted units get it? Even Cavalry or Tanks?

Nope, I don't think so. And that makes my idea even greater!

Seriously though, if the archer upgrade tree has that one (longbowmen, musketmen, riflemen...), then I can't see why I mounted archer shouldn't have the ability. Of course, you can count the cavalry as a mounted rifleman...

But the keshik badly needs a boost. Adding the 1st strike to it, would make that unique unit unique, as the only mounted unit with the 1st strike ability.

Jeff would have little or no say in a decision like this. Jesse and Gobi would be the ones to make a call like that.

 

[Seanirl]

But Jeff could suggest it.

 

[warpstorm]

Why would Jeff matter in this? Anyone can suggest it. Jesse and Ed read these forums. If they like the idea it'll get get done.

 

[Dearmad]

I think Mr. Ed. should suggest it, after all it's very important to know through who's mouth we speak!

This thread got OT and sunk like a rock. So a nice little friendly *bump* is justified.

That or give the Keshik the good movement on Hills too. I mean come on "We can move comfortably over those big, steep, rugged, cold, high altitude mountains; but those small, flatter, smoother, warmer, lower altitude hills are what really takes it out of us"

It got the good movement on Hills in Conquests, I believe... someone with the game could confirm.

 

[Xen]

yep, it has "the good move" OVER HILLS too

'Good move' BreakAway

 

[statusperfect]

No we are just waiting for another "good move"

 

[Xen]

I think it would be a "good move" to end all of the "bad puns"

That's good. to Firaxis and Breakaway.

 

[Bad Brett]

A 60 shield knight that ignores mountains and hills and have defensive bombardment, but only 2 defense would probably become one of my favourite units in the game. It may seem bad in the beginning, but when you master it and ride across the mountains, shooting arrows at your opponents... I long for the day Firaxis reads this and fix it!

Are there any other units that need changes??
