pbd15927-launched [FULL] - Beyond The Dark homebrew faction playtest NA time zones preferred

[opal folio]

This is a playtest of my homebrew factions;
The Kingdom of Dragoncourt, the last survivors of my take on what is in the fracture. Their abilities are a mix of offensive and defensive with a PRODUCTION focus, unique War Suns, a Deploy flagship, and a high power combat breakthrough that also ties into the faction tech and flagship deploy.
The Runamas Empire, high value home system and an incredible round 1 with Deep space PDS 1 and double deep space in systems with your ships PDS 2. They do not start with capacity and are terrible at capacity with their unique carriers initially being a hindrance but eventually becoming par with Sol capacity, they also hit on 8s.
The Colonies of Tirah, a structure faction not unlike the Ral Nel but their gimmick is their Destroyers and Dreadnoughts are also structures and ground forces. They can carry structures using capacity and can commit structures after space combat. Their breakthrough is unintentionally oppressive towards Deepwrought who I will be keeping out of the draft this time.
The Remnants of Ivertus, are an anomaly focused faction that I have not yet tested they have a PRODUCTION flagship and mechs and ignore the affects of anomalies including Entropic Scars and your home system is every anomaly but a supernova.

Beyond The Dark homebrew faction playtest NA time zones preferred

[icy oak]

alright

the other 2 factions are POK/TE?

maybe u want to split again?

[opal folio]

Yeah, they will be Titans and Empyrian

[opal folio]

Not really I’d like to get all four tested this time, maybe next time.

[icy oak]

ah

[icy oak]

meant we could do 4 yours 2 of mine

[eternal ridge]

i can throw some of mine in if we want some

[icy oak]

guys we have too many factions

[eternal ridge]

it's over

[opal folio]

Yeah but I think having some base/PoK factions is good for playtesting

[eternal ridge]

happy to lock in to play a base/pok one

[icy oak]

i think its more important in early stages but i do agree

[eternal ridge]

don't know if i can learn to play one of the new ones

with how busy i am

but would love to help out

[icy oak]

would we milty tho?

[eternal ridge]

up to mr jedi himself ig

[opal folio]

Alright, we’ll be doing a draft I already have it set up, Titans and Empyrian are the ones that are actually their faction.

[eternal ridge]

any reasoning in particular it'd be those 2?

also is it TE?

[opal folio]

Don’t do anything on it but this is the draft

https://tidraft.com/draft/new

[opal folio]

Yes but I am not familiar with TE factions and do not want Mahact in this game

[eternal ridge]

this is just a link to the TI lab draft setup page

[opal folio]

I copied the draft link I thought

https://tidraft.com/draft/new

[eternal ridge]

you need to launch the draft

otherwise it isn't technically made yet

[opal folio]

Ah, I broke it. I guess i’ll generate a new draft I did not know that

Well I guess the factions have swapped to Argent and L1Z1X

https://tidraft.com/draft/depleted-boost-transaction

And the link works now.

When you gain control of a planet

Replace each PDS and space dock that is on that planet with a matching unit from your reinforcements.

[eternal ridge]

oh wait you guys are all NA aren't you

i forgor

i may leave you to it, i've been playing with NA people for a little bit and man the TZ really hurts

especially if most of the game is NA

[opal folio]

Alright so no weird L1/Tirah interaction.

[eternal ridge]

any way i can help out without being a player would be fab 😄

[opal folio]

Ok, I’ll see you around. I’ll tell you how the game goes, you could spectate if you want.

[opal folio]

Well I’ll ping playtester tomorrow morning if I don’t find three more

[bold beacon]

I'm keen but I'm in new Zealand

So time zone might be off

[opal folio]

Yeah, I was going to make an exception for Zackkyew because he helped a lot in balancing and wording the factions, I would like to play all North American time zones. If I’m still not full up tomorrow evening I’ll add you in.

[copper wind]

Sorry no! Sticking to TE only at the moment

[opal folio]

[verbal elm]

These seem fun

[hazy niche]

It has taken me years!
Years I say!

But I finally know Ero’s TZ!

[verbal elm]

lol

what did you think it was?

To be fair, I do only sleep for about 6-7 hours

[opal folio]

@hazy niche and @verbal elm are you two saying you’ll play?

I’m not sure how to take your messages

[hazy niche]

Yes, I am

[hazy niche]

I never stalked you to find it out, and you don’t have your TZ on the fog or homebrew servers 🤷‍♂️

[verbal elm]

Yes
