1 Since Scallop is quite overrepresented in the Amph lineup, I am proposing that Scallop and Archer split the rioting roles up a bit better. If torpedoes are removed from scallop it should, in theory, do the following: 1 Since Scallop is quite overrepresented in the Amph lineup, I am proposing that Scallop and Archer split the rioting roles up a bit better.

My preference being archer as this unit is basically not used in sea right now and more or less doesn't have a role there. 7 3) Give another unit the ability to take up the torp riot role.

10 Googlefrog was contemplating giving amph bots some form of janky artillery, suggesting ducks as the artillery platform. If Archer were made into a torpedo riot, they could perhaps be given this role as well, firing a "torpedo" at low artillery ranges on land. The water beam is cute and all but a bit janky and is mostly useful for pushing things down cliffs. Which is fun, but it's hard to say that archer is as good on land as scallop. 10 Googlefrog was contemplating giving amph bots some form of janky artillery, suggesting ducks as the artillery platform.

14 Shaman suggested instead removing the shotguns from scallop and balancing it just around the torpedo system instead, which I could see working as well and maybe scallop could take the artillery role then. But Archer would still need to be changed to be more useful in water and/or land. 14 Shaman mentioned removing the shotguns from scallop and balancing it just around the torpedo system, which I could see working as well and maybe scallop could take the artillery role then.
