A while ago on IRC some devs were discussing a branch of the Elvish
scout line that would be a more effective fighter. It could attack
and then use the rest of it's MPs to escape. While driving across
the country for Thanksgiving, i gave it some thought:
Such an ability seems like it could a heightened version of Skirmish
(as "cures" is a better version of "heals"), because normal units
loose all MP when standing next to an enemy, weather or not they
attack. It would be counterintuitive if this scout could only ignore
ZoC after it attacks someone-- so essentially it has the skirmish
ability and more.
If this ability is created, the assasin would conceptually be a good
canidate to recieve it.
I didn't want to start a huge forum topic, so i added some thoughts
this way..
