Re: [Wesnoth-dev] About the ulfserker

[Joseph Simmons]

The whole idea of berserker makes it unsuitable for campaign purposes. 
(Who wants to advance a unit that either dies or wastes experience? And 
who wants to hire a unit in a campaign that you shouldn't advance?)

So, its fine to worry about making the ulf balanced and fun for MP, but 
I think we should not bother with making it good for campaigns. Unless 
we want to remove the entire idea of berserker as a specialty, or change 
it per EP's suggestion (to make berserker only work for 3 rounds, not 
until one side dies).

As for making it fun for MP, I actually think EP's suggestion is a good 
one. It makes the unit less suicidal, but keeps with the idea of the 
unit, and will make it less extreme, thus easier to balance.
