[gameplay] Do Angels fight?

from Demigod Forums

This is probably just me, but do the Angel creeps actually do damage? They seem to just fly around pretty much ignoring everything while occasionaly executing a swooping dive.

They do not appear to do any damage (that I can see, but things tend to be rather busy around the time they show up), nor make any "fighty" motions with the two swords they have in their hands.

They do a subtle X-ish slash with their blades when they swoopz in...z

Ah, I see. I usually just see them fly ahead of wherever the fight between my and the enemies ground troops is taking place and get wasted by the defences which they ignore.

Yep, they do. I`ve been slain by one.

You must've been pretty darn naughty to get Angels on your case. ^_^

The animation of the little angels is not perfect in my opinion. They need to be redone :)

Heh,

My Rook had the merest sliver of health and was running away... one slash from the singular (!) pursuing angel was all it took. Angered me greatly.

The actual moment of attack by those flying units could be slightly more robust animation-wise, perhaps. As it is now, the angel/harpy attacks might be slightly too subtle (just a better animation, or a sword slash sound maybe, not anything flashy).
