Clockwork Dwarves v2

Clockwork Dwarves

Faction Overview:
Has two scouts, fire melee healer, Marksman soldier, Archer, Tank (with good damage and hps)
Great resistances, but low(for dwarves hills and mountains defences). Very slow faction.




Unit Overview:
Typical fighter 67 vs blade/pierce/impact , 60 vs magic
Clockwork  64 vs blade, 48 vs pierce 54 vs impact, 38 vs magic   (increase Hp decrease resistances a bit to make it similar vs blade/pierce/impact but better off vs magic. Their marksman is factional strength so I dont count it in on level 1.

Increased HP Clockwork values: 73 vs blade/pierce, 63 vs impact  ,51 vs magic
(exactly where we want him, weaker vs magic somewhat weaker vs impact, stronger vs pierce, blade.

Tried with: clockwork soldier blade resistance decreased to 30% from 40%
Tried with: clockwork soldier Hp increased to 36 from 27


level 2 runefighter 89 vs Blade/pierce/impact, 79 vs magic ------ damage 30 magical
level 2 steelclad 120 vs blade/pierce/impact, 93 vs magic -------- damage: 33
level 2 Miasmist 104 vs blade/pierce, 91 vs impact,  72 vs magic------ damage: 24 and 21 +8 ranged (when reduced to 30% blade)
 (so definitely a more damaging one(53 damage overall) so he needs to be squishier)

level 2 Marshal 135 vs Blade,  101 vs impact, 116 vs Pierce, 81 vs magic -----  damage: 30 marksman, Leadership (with reduced -10% to blade they become in a sweet spot of being good units with marksman ability a combination of endurance+ macial weakness so no need to change anything but -10% blade.

level 2 Miasmist with reduced hp: 93 vs blade/pierce , 82 vs impact , 65 vs magic
 (most of the magical damage is ranged, so he will deal a lot of damage in retaliation to squishy mages. Still have more HP vs blade/pierce than rune fighter
)
Triggerman: (on level 1 he has similar stats to thunderer, less damage but more Hp )

Greaser: (interesting mixture between healer/melee mage and blocker)

ranged damage increased to 4-6 from 3-6
melee damage decreased to 4-2  	 (to make up for their strength in ranged damage)
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%
		(the progression goes from 4-6 to 5-7 to 6-8 and given their high price its somewhat justified (also it will diversify them from the flying scouts who are cheaper but have more movement speed and less damage)


Gunner
melee damage increased to 6-2 from 3-2(i think the lowered the damage on level 2 was there by mistake)
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%
Gunner cost increased to 34 from 32

Artillery
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%


Greaser
cost decreased from 22 to 18 (it has 18 damage but no 70% chance to hit)
Hp decreased to 38 from 43
movement increased from 3 to 4 (no unit should have movement 3 unless extremely powerful and greasers were not the case)
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%

Oiler
movement increased from 3 to 4
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%
Exp increased to 84 from 76 (because of the increased damage)

Blazer
movement increased to 4 from 3
damage increased to 14-3 from 12-3
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%
(Otherwise the units seems quite powerful, but a little bit of a hit and miss)

Armored Mechanic
resistances: Arcane 10, Blade 30, Cold 0, Fire 0, Impact 20, Pierce 30
(increase of all resistances by 10% since he's supposed to be armored)
HP increased to 64 from 60   (EDITED)
moves increased from 3 to 4
Flat defence decreased to 30% from 40%


Wooden Bird
Hp increased from 27 to 32
blade resistance decreased to 30% from 40% (to be systematic with the other clockwork dwarves)
pierce resistance decreased to 40% from 60% (making it slightly less invulnerable to pierce damage)
fire vulnerability increased to -20% from -10% (it is wooden after all)

Steel Eagle Cost increased to 25 from 20
Blade to 30 from 40
Pierce to 40 from 60
Fire vulnerability - no change (he's made of steel now)

Contraption Changes: (this overall keeps the blade HP, reduces the pierce HP, increases the magical/impact HP and also gives him more damage)
Contraption Hp increased to 23 from 21
Contraption blade resistance decreased to 30% from 40%
Contraption Pierce resistance decreased to 40% from 60%
Contraption damage increased to 6-2 from 5-2 (EDITED) (to address their lack of impact damage (slightly worse than soldier damage/gold ratio - (contraption: 1.16 compared to  1.31 for soldier)

So now instead of pierce blocker you get a more complete unit, who fills the gap for the lack of impact damage.

Golem damage increased to 7x3 from 6x3
Golem blade resistance decreased to 30% from 40%
Golem pierce resistance decreased to 40% from 60%
Golem cost increased to 16

Automaton blade resistance decreased to 30% from 40%
Automaton pierce resistance decreased to 40% from 60%
Automaton flat defence increased to 50% from 40%   (this is the buff to compensate for the missing resistances)
(It is also thematic since  it has extra pair of limbs so they "scuttle like spiders and leap like frogs" )
Autoamton cost increased to 27 (just in case you can buy it in the ageless heroes)



Wanderer: Kind of heavy infantry, golem and spearman mix.

Wanderer cost increased to 22 from 21
Wanderer HP decreased to 45 from 49 (decrease the HPs a bit since the unit is quite good)
Wanderer damage increased from 11-2 to 12-2 (to compensate a bit for the lowered resistances)
