Custom Unit Playtesting Exchange
Hi Everyone,

The thought occurred to me while working in my role as playtester within the C3V project as a way to generate more playtesting interest is to offer myself as a playtest exchange ambassador. The idea is if you playtest a unit from my project, then I will playtest a unit from your project. I have had, in my opinion, success working with the AotV custom team and thought it would be reasonable to expand.

But clearly this isn't something that should be restricted to just me or c3v, so I thought this could be a forum where people could exchange interest in the program and propose what units of their own or their own projects to be tested and hopefully find interest from other designers who are hungry to get their own units in the hands of others and receive feedback.

Specifically I think this would be a great way for individual custom designers to get feedback on their customs and a solid way to get them played by other individuals, which I think is something that would be pretty cool.

What I anticipate this thread being is people posting their willingness to playtest someone's unit and also posting what they would like tested. (specific matchups, point totals, or armies can be specified) I am only planning on keeping this OP updated with a list of people who have expressed interest in the program. I will not be policing this so hopefully everyone who says they will do a playtest will indeed do so and in a timely manner.

Sample Exchange:
-Person A says I want this tested (like kevindola with Cal the Smuggler or Kolakoski with his units)
-Person B says 'I'll test that for you and you test this' (like Flash with Agent Dashe)
-Ideally they both give a relative time frame it will be accomplished

Here is the rough expectation of the playtest resport used for c3v public playtest and should be a solid baseline:

Spoiler Alert!


That's it. Hopefully the community will find this idea useful, and if not, well no harm done. Happy Scaping
