Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

This is a thread designed to generate a discussion about fixing certain non-competitive units (in terms of tournament play) as well as collect items and compile them into a list of errata. This list of errata shall then be playtested and examined over time to provide a better basis for determining the soundness of proposed errata. The end goal of this thread is to have a list of errata created with community influence and community playtesting which can be referenced for those tournament director's and/or players in general wishing to see non-competitive units used more in their events.

Note: It is not the intent of this errata to make every unit as good as the A+ units available today. Some errata might make units nearly as powerful as A+ units, while other errata will only bump up terrible units into the "not a gigantic handicap" range.

Units that are not viable:
Acolarh
Deathwalker 7000
Dund
The Einar Imperium
Empress Kiova
Gorillinators
Grok Riders
Hatamoto Taro
Khosumet
Major X17
Moriko
Parmenio
Roman Archers
Runa
Shaolin Monks
Shiori
Sudema
Templar Cavalry

Units where errata improves playability:
Zombies of Morindan

Units that are too strong and adversly affect tournament meta-game:
Deathreavers

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

now to have someone create new cards with these new wordings on them. Im one of the biggest sticklers for playing exactly as the rules state but some cards do need help. I could wind up using these in my gaming circle. keep it up!

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

If there was a lot of discussion on this before the time warp, I apologize, but...

Why not have Acolarh roll ALL twelve of the dice when using his power.

I dug up some probabilities from the book of Sir Gilbert:

3............. 19.74
4............. 08.88
5............. 02.84
6............. 00.66
7............. 00.11
8............. 0.014

So you'll roll between 0 and 5 Jandar symbols 99% of the time. What about 9-12? Its not likely that you'll roll that many. The percent chance for rolling these numbers combined is only about 0.006 so I'd be checking my opponent's dice if he rolled 12 Jandar symbols :P

8............. 00.02
9............. 0.006

So, if I understand this right, he'd save a life about every third time. Is that too much? Doesn't seem too much to me. Not like he's doing a whole lot else.

It just seems right to use all the dice.

And if he's causing that much trouble, just kill him first like you kill Raelin first.

And if folks are killing him first, then I'd say he's actually worth his points.

Thanks for making a thread like this--I think a tournament that used the errata developed here would be a lot of fun.

Doopa is Polish for awesome.

Yeah, there is a little debate about that. It seems that rolling 12 dice might be too good. I assume that it was originally playtested that way and it was decided it was too powerful.

That said, with tournament maps being what they are today, range 8 is generally not as great as it sounds (as keeping line of sight over that distance will be difficult). On several maps, I think that he might seem very powerful, while on many others, his LOS will be so blocked as to really limit his effect.

In the end, it's such a strong ability, that it will difficult to playtest. On some games it's just going to seem like he always hits 3 symbols while on others he won't save a single stinking elf.

Personally, I'd rather roll all 12 dice, but it might simply be too powerful. Just looking at the numbers, it's hard to tell one way or the other.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

Dignan, I seem to remember seeing in the timewarped version of your Errata thread that you guys were playtesting some of these changes? If so, I second DrL's nomination to have a tournament sometime where we had to use one of these errata'd units.

Could be fun.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

I think letting the monks bond with Master Woo would go pretty far towards making them more playable.

Stealth dodge would be thematic. And it would keep them alive to engage range.

Either or both sound good?

I had given them bonding with Woo on the last thread. I think I'll stick with that for the time being. Steath dodge might be a bit much.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

Alright, I think I got all the units back up to where they were before the thread was lost. Let me know what you think of the changes and if you think I need to include more figures in the errata.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

Well, the debate has started in other areas of the forums concerning Raelin RotV Style and her being overpowered. There is some pretty convincing evidence that she might be one of those figures that is too good.

An errata fix for her can go in a couple of directions. Adjusting her points cost up (say around 100 or so) could work or adjusting her aura (reducing the range to 3 would be pretty significant). What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

I think RotV Raelin and SotM Raelin should both be 100.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

I think I would rather see a point increase in her cost total, rather than a reduced range to her aura, though I suspect that reducing her aura may be a better fix.

Something to definitely playtest I suspect.

Re: Dignan's Competitive Unit Errata

Reduce her life to 4.

Not that I am suggesting a change to her..ok I did but am not advocating it.

Atlaga is the first Kyrie hero with 4 life. The precedent is now there for Kyrie heroes to have life values other than 5. A 1 pt decrease in life aligns well with her current cost of 80. She would still be a powerful figure and play basically the same in terms of army builds and positioning.

A must read for all 'Scapers!
