Suggested WARTBED unit attributes

Attribute	Full name	Value range	Human std	Description
Physical attributes
Mov	Movement	0+	1.5	In game units per game time unit (meters/second?)
WSk	Weapon Skill	0--100	30	Melee prowess
RSk	Ranged Skill	0--100	30	Missile accuracy
Pow	Power	0--100	30	Strength and weight
Tgh	Toughness	0--100	30
HP	Hit Points (wounds)	1+	1
Ini	Initiative	0--100	30
Att	Attacks	0+	1
Sta	Stamina	0--100	30	Endurance
Rec	Recovery rate	0--100	30	Reduction of fatigue/time unit
Fat	Fatigue	0--100	0	Tiredness (not an attribute but a counter)
Psychological attributes
Ldr	Leadership	0--100	50	Bonus to tests
Tac	Tactics	0--100	50	What manoeuvres can be performed
Std	Steadfastness	0--100	50	Resistance to fear, panic, rout etc
Fer	Ferociousness	0--100	50	Berserking etc
Stu	Stupidity	0--100	50	Risk of confusion etc
Mor	Morale	0--100	50
All attributes range from 0 to 100, where a value of 30 for physical and 50 for psychological attributes is considered human standard, the exceptions are hit points and attacks, where one (1) is considered human standard, fatigue, which usually starts at zero (0), and movement where human standard marching speed is 1.5 m/sec (3 m/sec at double quick and 6 m/sec at charge).

WARTBED Units movements are defined in a set of abilities, declared per-unit in their script file definitions:

Suggested WARTBED movement capabilities Positive Negative Description can cross land can't cross land Normal land movement landwalker not landwalker Unhampered by difficult terrain can cross woods can't cross woods Can walk through forests woodwalker not woodwalker Unhampered by forests can_cross_water can't cross water Can cross shallow water can swim can't swim Can cross deep water can levitate can't levitate Can cross all terrain (but not chasms) can fly can't fly Can move to any valid area

All units default to the negative on all abilities (i.e. can't move at all). Movement capabilities must explicitly be turned on. Units inherit the capabilities of their superclass (a wood elf inherits the same movement capabilities as the base elf it specialises), and if it shouldn't have an ability, it must be turned off explicitly (set to the negative).

Status attributes are temporary (timed) or permanent attributes that affect a single unit or an entire regiment. Possible status attributes may include:

• is_prone
• is_bleeding
• is_poisoned
• is_burning
• is_enraged
• is_berserk
• is_afraid
• is_terrorstruck
• is_stunned
• is_confused
• is_nauseous
• is_paralysed
• is_invulnerable
