Bomber Rework

Currently the bomber serves one purpose block the sheep path. 50% of the time the wolf misses the bomber and wasted 56 gold. The other 50% of the time it just ruins the last sheep left because everyone just starts spamming them.

To fix this gold wasting/anti-runtag item I'm suggesting we remake the bomber for its original purpose killing weak farms such as tinies/savings and removing it instantly when its created. I may also reduce the health on sentry so bombers can kill them for invis wolves.

I would increase the AoE of bomber, increase its cast range, increase its gold cost, and make it deal 40 damage to farms.

Anyone like the way the bomber is currently or have any other possible suggestions?

I vote for returning bomber as it was -> 100 gold cost, killing farms/trees and so on.

make it a little cheaper, but it's sole purpose is to kill trees/ maybe tinies. remove the actual bomber spawning to block sheep.

old bomber all the way.

i have NO idea who brought the idea of the current bomber that serves no purpose but to block the path for 2 seconds. why was it changed to begin with? can't remember the theory.

feel free to experiment with additional effects (nerfing sheep/buffing wolves for a few seconds in the area, does dmg over time and kills all normal farms after 5 sec, or whatever...im not in my creative sphere atm, you'll have to figure out some good effects).

the old bomber just happened to damage farms. i don't think it was ever it's ''intended purpose".

Strength Potions were introduced, which completely removed the purpose of the one-hit-a-farm aspect of bombers. After that, people continued to use them for area damage. Bad people kept spamming them, mindless of the 70/98 gold cost, and kids were complaining.

So instead of outright removing them, we kept them for what they were still used for: blocking. Removed all damage and lowered price to 40.
