Would it? I had really been thinking minotaur (or cyclops) mobility. No climbing cliffs, no ninja hiding on the backside of spikes, no building cannons in crazy places, but the potential to cover ground and exploit opportunities under fire.

Well, in the crude thought experiment I had going, it would be [i]exactly[/i] like a minotaur with one cannon barrel swapped. I like that in several ways. For one, choosing which to build is a decision about a single variable. For another, it seemed appealing that the minotaur and this other beast could run around together, if desired, without any extra micro overhead.

I suppose the real truth is that it comes down to balance. Losing half the firepower is a big deal, but I don't doubt there exist niches it would be worth it. Are there un-fun ways this could be used, spammy things?

I
could
see
them
used
as
a
meat-wall
around
a
friendly
paladin.
Seemed
OK,
given
their
weaknesses
(
i.
e.
glaives
would
eat
them)
.
They
could
perhaps
do
raiding
where
they
set
up
a
cluster
of
turrets
inside
enemy
territory.
Meh?

A
lot

Generally
running

doings
no
other
construction
unit
would
dare
attempt.
