Norse and Amazons too slow!

ken · Post by **ken** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 4:56 am

I figure with such skimpy armor that the Amazons and Norse should be at least speed 7. One idea would be to raise the speed of the blitzers and catchers to either 7 or 8. Increase the price too?

Whaddya guys think?

They aren't supposed to be TD scoring machines like elves or skaven and I think the high speed might unbalance the team even if you raise the price.

Why should they be faster than a DE or HE lineman

Speed and depth make for the most dangerous opponents in tourneys. I'm afraid we'd see nothing but Norse if we increased their base speed.

Because they wear less armor!

An extra point of move on the blitzers would make sense since they are of the same stock as human blitzers (ie basicly human) but more lightly armored. While their catchers are stronger than their human counterparts, It's hard to justify the human blitzer running them down!

This is all purly fluff argument, but I think if the rules can support the fluff and still be balanced(ish), than they should be.

Then the Blitzers should also have AG2 because they seemed drunk most of the time

amazons wear less armour but only have ag3 but darkelfs wear slighty more armour and have ag4 witch means the trip less and can run faster !
or somthing...

I think the teams are strong at the start but when you play them a while they suffer from their low AV.

I think the catcher or the blitzer need an MV upgrade!

I have a hard time against them already so I am positively against raising their speed.

The norse are insaine enough as it is starting 4 players with Frenzy, Jump up, Block. MV6 is fast enough.
