    Why did you create this suggestion? No seriously. Why? You talk as if you knew from the beginning this was a bad idea and shouldn't be included. It seems like quite the waste of time for everybody if you ask me.

    2 Main Reasons
    - Mass Cloaking (Natchoguy's original Darkness)
    - Blindness (and Mass Blindness in form of Endless Night)

    They are both common enough in RTS games, but like I said, notably Mass Cloaking, is likely not suitable for a DK style gameplay, or as Mothrayas puts it, would require too much reworking of Physics just to account for it.
    The Creature itself along with its idiosyncrasies just basically formed up along the way, as a vehicle.

    That and not having read about the Witch

    The original darkness (my version) is non-mobile and not perfect at all. It was meant to provide confusion for not only creatures but for actual players too. In fact this move was meant for an entirely different creature.
    That aside, too many people don't support the idea
