Great ideas  Grin

I don't have a lot of time to comment on the individual units themselves, but I like many of the units' flavor, like warhounds, slingers, etc.

One suggestion for the slingers is to make them (5) 5/5, better than normal archers (but still weaker then Elven archers). The LOS range weakens them, but they get +0.25 damage on average than archers. IMO, its a good balancing feature. Flavor wise, you take longer to shoot than to fire a stone, don't you?

Also, can I use your army as inspiration for some changes to my units in the "Barbarian Army"?

On the point regarding too much green health, I disagree. IMHO, a "upper level" barbarian unit should have 5-2-5 or so health. Let me explain. They're not as disciplined, given, but they're hard to wear down due to their thirst for war. The low yellow health...well, no reason, technically. The high red health is due to the tendency for barbarians to make "last stands". In my army, there's an ability called "vengeful", which most of the units have. This ability allows them to negate the penalties for being in the yellow/red, which in flavor, means they're trying to get vengeance for their fallen comrades.

EDIT: After thinking about it, the upper level unit should be 4-4-4 or something instead. Or maybe 3-4-5. They'll "last stand" for a long time, making them difficult to wear down. And they just love being in the red for the c+2. Tongue Though....Maybe 4-3-5. Ok...5-2-5...wait... pah just go with what you want...

Ok, maybe I've spammed enough.  Tongue

After a long time, Chad has found the time to provide me with some rough point estimations.

On the following links you will find the files for the command cards and the proxies for the unit cards.

Note that this is the "official" proxy format used for the playtesting of the future factions.

so PLAYTEST PLAYTEST PLAYTEST!

I will update the front page soon, once i find the time Smiley

Cheers.

I can't download it because the file size is 210 or so MB, and free users can only download files up to 150 mb in size.

Hope you enjoyed the faction. Unfortunately i am too busy to make the corrections on the front page. However, i played two games with them. Viridian Lords are very powerful. I will probably reduce their movement and range attack to 3,5'' and we will see.

They cost 500+ points, so I think they're ok. Wink

Still, if you play infront of them the card that can be played as a terrain nad they start shooting... then you have a problem Smiley

Yuck, what cheap-ness!  Tongue

Forcing your opponent to have (-1) -1/-1 if he engages you, but if he doesn't you can shoot at them behind the rough terrain. Your opponent has three bad choices.
1. Waste his command actions to try and direct control to the side of the terrain and charge into the Viridian Lords. (won't work if both flanks are guarded).
2. Charge in and die.
3. Hold there and wait till the Viridian Lords kill you. (even worse than 2.)

That was the problem at our last playtest session. Any ideas to fix the card are welcome Smiley

Will be back about this once we play with the 3,5'' range and movement for the viridian lords (and this will make them cheaper anyway ).
