Magical creature who has some good attacks if used against the right enemies.

Neutral Creature who fights for her own land. Gets along with other Archers and magical creatures. Can Research at an average level.

This creature is best against tougher enemies as she can deal greater deals of damage at slower rates.

Evil Creature that likes to guard and can be attracted by the guard room. She doesn't like the Archer. She's fine with most creatures.

He is good with fighting off armies as he fires shots to spread across them. He has fast quick shots.

Goodly Creature that will go and manufacture if left alone and doesn't like the Dark Elf. Can be converted easily.

This is how she'll look. But she is not in color.

Dark Elf Appearance-

Maybe something like this? I don't know, but after searching for my RPG character Crystice and Emmra, I'm not going to search very long for a female character. Got lucky with the Elven Archer though.

Let me know what you all think on my opinions of the three archers...

[Kromeh]

Quad dmg against undead? AND it prevents a vampire from reliving? It would insta-kill (nearly) a lvl 10 vamp.


Recharge of 1/4 a second? 4 arrows a second... cmon bud....

Too many arrow types = constant ranged fire doing massive damage.

[Metal Gear Rex]

Like a monk, but it has to be the finishing blow and it doesn't do much damage in the first place. Have you thought about the recharge time too? However I will downgrade it to making it drop half its levels instead.

Merely for a possession bonus because outside it has to run though the animation. If it were DK1 then we'd have a bigger problem.

Higher level archers/elven archers/dark elves have a similar affect in their respective games.

---

That aside, you merely told me what you didn't like. What did you like about them? And were the appearances okay because I was in a rush at the time.

[Kromeh]

DK2 Darkelf lvl 6-8 = prawnage, especially when you have 5-6.

And they don't have uber strong attacks :/

[Metal Gear Rex]

DK2 Darkelf lvl 6-8 = prawnage, especially when you have 5-6.

And they don't have uber strong attacks :/

What do you mean? By the way, they use cross bows which like in DK2 take forever to fire.

[Kromeh]

They still do incredible damage in masses.

Not to mention, in possession you can go up and melee while bow recharges, and that can do nice dmg

[Metal Gear Rex]

Oh melee. Whoops, messed up. But keep in mind that Possession supposed to have that kind of advantage. I can take out the entire level 16 dk2 fortress (Stone Keep) with that mistress you find. Well, maybe not the entire but can still win.

But even so, did you look at those recharge times? And in groups, if they focus on one target they'll waste a bunch of potential shots and damage. That's what the archer is good at, fighting off armies with a mass sum of arrows. By the way. For the spells, the damage settings are lower because it just means High for a spell. Melee combat does more damage.

[Kromeh]

The recharge times mean shit if there are enough spells to cast. You can fire each on in succession, and by that time, 1-2 have recharged.

[Evi]

...Or ALL the Arrows have to recharge if ANY of them are used.

[Metal Gear Rex]

How's that? Besides, do you have any idea what 16 seconds feels like in a battle?
