Rebalancing-- DaHsu's mods

Sure there is, I think the Thorns should just retaliate when attacked. Same as prickle, but it's passive instead of active. If a thorn is attacked it deals 1 damage to all adjacent enemies. Note that this would even apply to a sniper attack but wouldn't matter unless there was another unit next to the thorn.

this would prevent using a soldier + runner combo to take down thorns unless you boosted the runner. It would also prickle for 2 damage to whatever attacked it first, so it's to the opponent's advantage to attack with a sniper or Heavy that would kill the thorn in one hit.

Either that or allied units should be able to walk on the thorns so using snipers becomes possible. The current problem with Bramble, IMO, isn't that it's not offensive enough, it's that it cripples your defense because you can't maneuver your snipers around.

Maybe even if allied units, as well as enemy units, can attack thorns, so you can at least clear your own path.

I like my first mod to the prickle idea the best though
