Bramble overnerfed

[GreatGonzales]

Gavin, which variation of the bramble is more useful in your opinion:

1. 2 hp thorns, no wit for kill, cannot attack
2. 2 hp thorns, wit for kill, can attack

?

This is a close call IMO and will need playtesting.

My thing is, I don't WANT a powerful bramble. I saw what happened to the game when the bramble was a viable strategy, and the game was no longer fun to play. I also do not share your confidence that a bramble having thorns which have the following attributes would be balanced:

1. 2 hp
2. No wit for kill
3. Can attack

I think this may be overpowered once again, since veggies can be very wit efficient with thorns, if they are smart about it, and especially on 1-spawn maps can gain a unit count advantage - especially the new maps having 1 spawn and 2 wit spaces.

All that to say, I am not convinced that a balanced bramble is possible unless a fundamental mechanic changes (i.e. something like what Alvendor suggested, for example). And I would rather OML underpower the bramble than risk overpowering the bramble, given how unfun the game becomes.
