Overall I still used other units (Especially the secrets and legacy units after I got them), but Bard is my favourite unit in the game.

As well as how size affects defense. I'm still testing how weight affects units and their weapons and how exactly the AI paths around.

[@furiouscorgi6614]

Do you know how Armor works, like the barrel blunderbuss guy in the Pirate unit set?

[@unkirbyjosuke1904]

@@furiouscorgi6614 It's really easy, anything that's NOT arrows keeps it's knockback but all projectile damage gets nullified, there's a piece for the head, the torso, upper and forearm, pelvis, and legs (i think in 4 pieces too). If you wanted to make a unit look bulletproof without bumping the HP to a hundred, you gotta use the barrel armor and up the weight to, like, 15. Tho you have to either access the files or install the UCN mod for accesibility, but once you implement it, it's enjoyable by anyone in the workshop. It's really cool (and does have weak spots/spots that aren't covered like the face).
