When you withdraw the thorns, it breaks the mother-child relationship so that you don't have to worry about uprooting the wrong vines. Add thorn regeneration to buff them vs Scallywags.

I'd be happy, because the thorns would go back to how they were, but be a lot more flexible in a good player's hands. Attacking thorns is a bad idea because of the previously experienced thorn spam.

One thing I hate about the bramble is how you have to remember mother-child relationships when uprooting...so I like the suggestion. We'd be able to uproot just a parent thorn and not its children also, then the oldest of its children becomes the new parent, right? One problem with this that comes to mind is a bramble player could create some children and then uproot the parent to confuse the opponent on which thorn they need to kill. But maybe that's just meta-game and not a problem.

It would be a meta-game thing, but the parent/child relationship would stay on the thorns you didn't touch, so if your opponent wanted to kill your thorn chain they would just have to hit the next in line.

In theory it could lead to some weird situations where the original bramble is killed but some orphan thorns would stay around, but honestly I think that is fine. The big thing is that you want to reward players for being smart with their thorn spawning. If the veggie player isn't smart, they will quickly find themselves way behind on both unit count, and wits.
