Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I worry somewhat that just cranking up survivability is more of a band-aid for the design's issues than an actual solution. I wouldn't vote against testing because of it, but if results still disappoint then that may be a sign we need a re-work here.

One suggestion for Class is Marauder: it was originally on the Hydra, and C3V has used it a few times at least in part because, with the Hydra part of that group, it's unlikely to ever get future synergy. (That said, we can, of course, look for another way to introduce synergy with the Scions if we so choose.) Arena of the Valkyire - Help create Heroscape's next Master Set!

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I'm definitely down for a rework if testing shows that increased stats isn't fundamentally fixing the problem.
I like Marauder for the class. It's vague enough to fit the space alien from a black hole vibe, and it's very likely a synergy-safe class. If the pod members who work on the Scions want synergy between these two units down the road, the species should be more than enough leeway to make that happen. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I don’t see anything wrong with reworking a unit if it just doesn’t work. I’d rather the unit be cooked right than a whole lot of burnt.

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
Looking good. I started it at 190. Get this thing a name and a personality and I think we're about ready to move forward.

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
Spouting gibberish (surprisingly) isn't my specialty, but here's some ideas from the vast internet:
Khol'qal Scrur'kuk Thaelluns Ozeal Qhiegveas Ziqas These were intended as names, but they could also work as a species. I like the image of this guy being an inter-dimensional conquerer that was recruited by Valkrill. For personality, I like Militaristic. Plenty of other things work, too, though. Since he's huge, we could go with Relentless without fear of Death Knight Bonding if we wanted, but it's not my favorite choice. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I kind of like Ozeal. We can even give it more of a gutteral sound with Ozuul. I’m not sure if that works better as the race or name though.
I don’t like militaritistic for the personality. A marauder or conquerer feels much more in like with Terrifying, Relentless, or anything else that makes him feel destructive. Terrifying is decent, and does reflect his gravity playing well enough. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
Ozeal isn't bad. Ozuul puts the double-u of vacuum (space/black hole) in there.
I like Militaristic as something underutilized, but agree that it seems more like a destructive monster than a strategist. Other one-offs include: Menacing, Merciless, Reckless. And if we wanted to cross-pollinate from Marvel: Angry, Nihilist, Ruthless. Arena of the Valkyire - Help create Heroscape's next Master Set!

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I like Ozuul as a name well enough.
Out of the non-Militaristic personalities suggested, I lean towards Menacing or Merciless. Branching out to Nihilist could be interesting as well, although I think that it should really be Nihilistic. I don't feel a strong conviction for any one personality, though I would like something that implies more of a story behind the figure. Militaristic and Nihilistic fit that boat to me, whereas Menacing/Terrifying and whatnot feel more purposefully vague, but I could settle for any of them. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
I kind of like Nihilistic (which I agree should have been in place of Nihilist) both for having a little more personality and branching out.

Re: [Pod 0] Ozuul (Eldrazi Ruiner) - Design
For the species, here's a quick alternative to gibberish:
rotate about a single axis. We could name the species Kerr as a reference to Ozuul being played with on a mostly flat plane (I've taken a quick look through other black hole-related options, but nothing else stood out as much to me). Of course, if we don't like this, gibberish is always an option. Proud Member of Platyfly!
