DUNGEON CREATURES

Balance Discussion

The Dungeon has received a multitude of buffs and stat reworks to ensure each creature has its use cases and that none become completely redundant units by the late-game.

Infernal Troglodytes have received a minor yet poignant Speed buff to help them engage in combat earlier and give them a more offensive use. Chthonians have the added bonus of Teleportation (via Burrowing underground) and a higher potential Damage output at the cost of their survivability.

The Harpy line has received a very minor Health boost and Harpy Hags' minimum Damage has been increased by 1 point. Furies may strike twice and hit harder than Harpy Hags, but they are not as maneuverable or sturdy as their alternate counterpart.

The Beholder line has seen a rework in their functionality. No longer mediocre shooters, their laser beam attack penetrates walls with ease. Evil Eyes suffer no range penalty whatsoever, making them a fantastic early- and mid-game shooter with the potential to scale well in the late-game. Fargazers are a useful early- and mid-game scouting unit and can out-game Evil Eyes in close-range engagements with their higher Damage range.

The Medusa line has been buffed moderately with higher stats and a much higher Shot count, reducing their reliance on locating an Ammo Cart from another town or external Blacksmith. Medusa Warriors are the melee alternative to Medusa Queens, with higher survivability, Damage, and Stone Gaze chance giving players plenty of good reasons to use them in their armies.

Minotaur Kings have been buffed so that ignore a considerable amount of enemy Defense, with a minor stat redistribution focusing their role on being offensive brutes. Minotaur Taskmasters are their tankier alternative, functioning similar to Archangels in how they boost the entire army's Morale by 1.

The Manticore line has been buffed significantly. Manticores can now Paralyze their foes and have received a minor minimum Damage buff. Scorpicores are now more than chance-based utility units with their newfound tankiness and ability to dish out punishing levels of Damage. Chimeras do not benefit from an increased Paralysis chance, but instead reward the player for skillful positioning in combat with their 3-headed attack, allowing for a higher potential Damage output.

Shadow Dragons are essentially a "lite" version of Rust Dragons, with the same chance and Damage dealt by Acid Breath, but with the stat pool of a Black Dragon. They have lower Health and magical immunity to compensate for their higher potential Damage output and Speed.
