I'm just thinking of what the other specials can achieve with 1 wit - often quite powerful moves. By contrast, the Brambles barrier isn't as useful per wit and requires a wit investment to build up.

But of course there's lots you can do to beef it up if needed.

Heh no worries, I knew I should have clarified that! What're your thoughts on it on 1 hex then?

Can those of you that are testing please describe what it does exactly, with the stats included? I'm just having a hard time getting exited about this unit. I would be excite about ravernorth's proposal but I'm just not falling in love with what I understand its current status is. From what I gather from the gameplay screenshot, it had 1 or 2 base HP and all vines have 1 hp and can be added a turn at a time. Just seems like to big of an investment for what it is.

The point of the beta is to make the unit balanced. If it isn't balanced in its current state, it will be modified (not saying it has the stats you are guessing, just that it doesn't matter at this point because they will be tweaked).

I hear you, and understand that. I guess it's just the lack of on attack that curbs my enthusiasm, but I'll reserve judgement until I use it.

Nice. Exactly what I pictured in my head.

Personally I fell in love with the idea and thought that there would be a load of versatile applications for the new special, but in practice it's actually much harder to utilize

I wonder if reducing the cost is a possibility for balance.
