If a Sniper gets destroyed, simply spawn another one. It will be able to kill the unit that just destroyed the Sniper. At 0. .........

OML said their beta data was quite stable and under control, though. The data should be somewhat neutral, so they aren't implementing something that will not work at all. I just don't think it'll work, but that's just a gut feeling.

My proposal was that when you destroy a unit, it will drop a "wit bulb" in your color which you can collect to refund 1 wit. If you step on a bulb that is not yours, it breaks.
However, that took away the immediate refund of 1 wit to either move OR attack with the wit. With my proposed solution, you wouldn't be able to use it to attack (or only rarely) because you would always have to move to the space first.

The problem with snipers is that they are too fragile, if you don't heal it and a scout gets it that's a big loss, if you try to stack snipers usually there's no room because they crowd your spawn point it's very ineffective and when a sniper is buffed that's a huge investment, no one affords spawning two snipers and buffing them, 10 wits at least on small maps?. This change seem to favor turtling, 4 hp soldiers would rule. But the worst part is it discourages scouting, and would increase guesswork, which eventually makes you feel less in control of the game? But the unpredictability might be fun, who knows!
