The Vikings recently got Chieftains improved so that any Villagers, Monks, or Trade Carts that they kill with infantry give them gold. This is a neat change and also fits the theme of the Vikings, but I have to think that a similar bonus could be given to Woad Raiders. Woad Raiders have always struck me as being highly uninteresting because they aren’t the fastest infantry in the game (that accolade goes to Elite Eagle Warriors) and their stats are otherwise unimpressive. Celts aren’t in a bad spot, but Woad Raiders just feel generic. Adding in a mechanic of generating resources from killing Villagers would make them a little more unique.

You want to make them into a ###### unit?
Guess the word for converting villagers into resources in an unfriendly way is censored.

No, but they are called raiders, so you’d think they’d be pillaging some resources.

Then tarkans should generate resources when destroying buildings.

I think the problem there is that a player could delete their building just before it dies and deny the resources.

Imho after their recent buffs woad raiders are absolutely strong and do not need any further buffs
I would have give them a bonus like the keshik to generate Gold while fighting but since they already did something similar to Vikings AND woads received a big buff, there is no further need
Better look at other bad infantry UU like Serjeants

Yes. That is what tarkan need.
Woad raiders are fine. Maybe generating food while fighting can be an option.
Only if they are Britain villagers !

So how about the tarkan puts a burn with very minor DoT effect on the building and if it dies while the burn is in effect it counts as your kill?
Hi.
Welcome back. How is it going?
