[granite moat]

Tp to top

@dreamy jay
@scenic hound
@pine jasper
@chrome maple
@flint cloak

My first faction in a long time

Probably.....
Two months or so

[pine jasper]

My first brain frying in a long time

[granite moat]

Only thing I'm missing is enchantments
I think I'll do em tomorrow maybe

[granite moat]

Good

[pine jasper]

I do not have the energy to review this

[granite moat]

Do this later then

[pine jasper]

Oka

[granite moat]

As long as you eventually rate it I will let you rest for a bit

[pine jasper]

Remind me later pls

[granite moat]

Ok

[unkempt vale]

Agreed

[dreamy jay]

Haiiiiii

[scenic hound]

Huzzah!

Jesus Christ.

[dreamy jay]

Holy dead but better but at a dkfferent thing but still leaving deads with their own niche, i think its an idea certainly

[scenic hound]

It has stat terrible efficiency compared to deads

The hemomancer kinda sucks

[dreamy jay]

Imo its better than a dead just due to its ability being pretty good but its also innefficent leaving it to ocupy a different neiche rather than being just a direct upgrade

Yeah hemonancer is weak

[scenic hound]

It doesn't have any notable trait

[dreamy jay]

Insane dmg like not great dps but crazy dmg

[chrome maple]

sheeesh that's alot

i'm not sure i can comprehend all of it at once

[dreamy jay]

Ehh idk lota of dmg but too similar to jugg

[dreamy jay]

Idk does too much like its a support unit that heals and does a little dmg support, but like not great at either

Certainly a unit you would need to mass up

Well if mark stacks

[scenic hound]

Hemowraiths: sure

Hemomancer: WEAK AF

• has no notable trait

Blood brute: sure

Hemodasents; cool, a spellcaster tank.

• Bloodmark duration?

Frenzy Flies: very odd to use unit, way too odd

• hard to use without ability, under extreme risk during ability
• pop?

Hemorrhag:

• pike range on a magic unit? Wouldn't that mean blood transfer will rarely be usable
• bloodbarb assault cast range?

Scarlesion: another unimpressive unit

Blood fury: damn

Path of blood: maybe it's slightly expensive, the stats sounds decent on paper but it's not the most practical thing to use around

• also trail duration? Which determines trail lifespan and length

Blood moon: no, it may be expensive but you really just need one cast to win. Compare that to scorch who gets used several times with 200 crystal for an unguaranteed success. Misusing the spell doesn't balance it out, it just makes it more unbalanced

[granite moat]

It's supposed to be a spearton equivalent with more emphasis on healing

[granite moat]

Ok I'll give the hemomancer a niche

Bloodmark lasts for 8 seconds
I think I put it in there
Frenzy flies ok I'll give em a bit more of a conventional usecase

Scarlesion maybe I'll rework it

Path of blood will get cost reductions

Blood moon......
I'll consider a nerf
Or just increase the price a bit more

Also you didn't see the generals

[granite moat]

Mark stacks

[granite moat]

Also quick note
Hemomancers are the archidon equivalents
Just that they use an ability to do damage instead of attacking traditionally

I've reworked frenzy flies into frenzitringe

Hemorrhag will get a rework

And scarlesion now has a more unique role instead of being just a Shadowwrath clone

And also blood moon got a nerf

Maybe I'll do enchantments but I'm a bit too lazy

[formal cloak]

did you just...put hemo in nearly every unit name...

[dreamy jay]

Means blood

[formal cloak]

I know what hemo means bro

[hasty mulch]

Have you tried to write a book?

[scenic hound]

Wait what

[granite moat]

????

Oh the magic tag probably confused you
Yeah hemomancers are the archidon equivalents

[scenic hound]

They fire projectiles?

[granite moat]

No

It's like convert but it does damage instead of converting

[scenic hound]

That's kinda far from Archidon equivalent

[granite moat]

Yeah
It's unique

Tbh it's more of a tdead equivalent in hindsight with the low range

[scenic hound]

they would need a powerful advanced ranged or general to compensate for the lack of ranged unit

[granite moat]

Well
I have two of en

[granite moat]

They absolutely excel at breaking the frontline though
Their frontline tanks have good regen and heals when a marked unit dies and they're anti heavy for a reason
The aoe charrog equivalent is a decently fast and tanky aoe anti light with a charge
Hemorrhags are half healers half damage with good dps
The frenzitringe is a flying unit that can support your army via healing and also sustain by itself
And the scarlesion is a fast aoe cleaver

I'm kinda sad that I didn't get to implement a hex mechanic of sorts on the hemowraiths
I originally intended it so that if they die around a unit they give that unit some of their stats and slowly buffs em over time

Wait maybe I could do a faction that's entirely about keeping certain units alive to create super op units later on

Oh right
Also this faction is heavily reliant on upgrades as well
Their abilities benefit from upgrading temple specifically

[flint cloak]

[scenic hound]

suspiciously familiar

[granite moat]

Yeah
But it was supposed to be similar to the husks from Legends of runeterra where something else is played the husk dies and their keywords gets transferred to the new unit

I decided against it since I would have to make entirely new hexes and stuff
And making a faction is already enough

[pine jasper]

TP to top

[pine jasper]

Idk about this, the stats feel weak, but the ability could potentially make them OP when used properly

Man these beans alcoholic as fck

[pine jasper]

A kiter spellcaster with natural strong lifesteal, odd, but I guess it could work, though, is the ability the basic attack? You still need to give it a "cooldown" as the attack speed

[pine jasper]

Is this supposed to be the tank? This seems like a mix of juggs and cgiants

[pine jasper]

This is basically a jugg gameplay-wise

[pine jasper]

What the pop, attack range, and attack speed on this?

[pine jasper]

This is a general, you can't convince me otherwise, this unit right here is a general

[pine jasper]

I don't even know what this is meant to be

Goddamn this bean soup is spice

[pine jasper]

Yeah I give up here

[granite moat]

It activates every second
I thought I wouldn't need to add that but now I know to do that

[granite moat]

No
You must continue on
There's two generals you need to check

[pine jasper]

I'm getting my ass beat by bean soup man

I don't got the energy for 2 actual generals, especially when one of the normal units is pretty much a general

[granite moat]

How are you getting beaten by bean soup?

Also the spells are relatively simple

[pine jasper]

I added too much... Whatever the thing I added is called

[wary axle]

Issue is wtf would these guys ever come from

Entire separate civilization just spawns into fully conquered territory

It would make more sense if this was a break off of the vampiric souls dedicated to a more macabre view on the magic of vampiric turning it into a weapon instead of a defense

But even then that would be not mentioned by the order campaign

Issue is prolly won’t get added because how far of a idea this is

We are basically transplanting silent hill into stick war, because these people are obviously ten times more malicious and gruesome then any other empire

Lore wise they would probably get vaporized by every other empire in the game because there basically hitler compared to chaos or vamp

[scenic hound]

Chaos and vamp are in the same level of this faction

[granite moat]

I'm doing this for fun man

I would put in lore if I have some time but unfortunately I have an exam to take in like three days so that's why there's zero lore

[wary axle]

Oh lol

[wary axle]

Low-key it could work but this would prolly be added after gta 7 lol

We gotta get chaos campaign, elemental campaign, gotta get events useful, and all that stuff.

[granite moat]

I'm not expecting this to ever be added
Even as a mod if mod support even comes out
This is just a silly little idea I did to pretty much waste my time and get some conversations going
