ORLY?
THEN I'LL TAKE PYLON AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS 8 OVERLAYS!

I'm getting the impression that FTS isn't really enforcing the rules... He already approved my Arbiter, which has a chance to stun in its normal attack routine (and a bunch of useweapons), and Dweb, 2x Duke Siege attacks, 1x Tassadar/Zeratul attacks, and 2x Devourer attacks (or something like that) instead of Stasis Field. So you could probably get away with almost anything, assuming it isn't cheap like hero Archon attack spam.

Fixed. Seeing as it's gonna cost 150-200 energy...

Corbo, you whore, its overlays are sprites. :C

Can I steal a sprite from somewhere? ;o It'll only be used with some minor iscripting and that is all.

Dude... Try the script in-game... It is really weak atm... The last thing it needs is an epic nerf...

...AND?

... how was what you mentioned not?
300 damage + 120 damage + 50 damage + 2x acid spores ( = ensnare and 6 more damage to normal attack per application ) = 470 damage at once, without the 1/8 chance. Bearing in mind he stated "one spell" ...
Mojo's air is a high-class attack, at 168 damage/shot and 22 cooldown. Tassatul, Zeratul, and Duke Tank are the only units with better - one is an Archon with 12 more damage, one is banned, and one is ground-only.

Basic recipe is 3x appropriate attack for ground/air, followed by a 1/8th random chance to cast spell of your choice. Only that one spell, it can't be more likely than 1/8, and no more than the 3x attack besides.

I'll just make a unit htat utilizes a super cool plugin. Auto-win.

Wish I'd seen this sooner, as it is, alas, probably too late for me to put something good together. Might participate in Round 2, might be able to scrape something together.

Is it at all possible to make a ground-only unit attack air without .dat editing?

Wouldn't be iscript only D:

HailFire, this was just posted on the 25th. You are hardly late.

If you want to try splashing an air unit via your randcondjmp spell, yes. =P Otherwise, no.
Not a problem. One method was already covered ( KK's use of attacking overlays. I thought of this a long time ago, since the concept'd been drifting around in my head long before SF's Marine squad unit )
Or there's what I had thought of, which I knew would be banned anyways - have my unit horrispam sprols until the sprite limit is maxed out, preventing anyone from attacking me. It would have been in the WalkingToIdle animation so I could stop it whenever I wanted, allowing me to attack.
I've also thought of a couple or few other ideas, but they fail to come to my ill and sleepy about-to-leave-for-school mind.
If Hercanic thinks he's thought of something good, I'll be afraid of him.

No... Against ground, it does 360 damage, because the Devourer's attack doesn't hit ground. Against air, it's retarded because the devourer's attack refuses to do damage when used in a spell that targets terrain, so it only does 60 damage and 2x acid spores. Also, it seems that the Archon's attack has a really small splash radius, because I have to hit right on the unit for it to do anything, which is hard to do when both me and the target are running. (The Stasis Field spell targets terrain, not units, so I have to manually aim it rather than just clicking on the target...) Also, there is an energy cost, remember? And my normal attack is really weak as well. Right now, FaRTy's Archon would be able to rape my Arbiter... In my tests, a single Tassadar/Zeratul Archon can demolish me unless I get really lucky.

Anyway, I didn't post that to start an argument about balancing, I posted that to say that FTS seems to be pretty flexible with the rules.

Assumption: If I take Wraith, I'm not allowed to cloak?

Correct.

It has no splash radius. Its corrosive acid splash is hardcoded, presumably.

I know. Now sign up!

I already posted my entry.

Put me in with Tom Kazansky/Wraith.

Can I modify the Recall sprite? I just want to decrease the duration of the sprite. Also, can I borrow one of the doodad sprites?

And btw:
