Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Knowledge) - Pod 0 - Design
Fair enough. It does seem weird not to have both a name and a summary, but we can't do anything about what's actually printed on the glyph. I'm happy to just keep the name Knowledge.

Re: [Pod 0] UNIT NAME (Glyph of Knowledge) - Pod 0 - Design
Hey,
@flameslayer93
, I believe that this passed through Editing and is now in Testing. The name of the glyph looks like it'll just be Glyph of Knowledge. Do you mind updating the title of this thread to reflect these updates?

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Pod 0 - Testing
I just noticed that there's two Pod 0s in the title. If only there could be two of each of us as well.
And no worries! I understand life getting in the way. I've just been going through everything recently to compile a status report for how things are currently shaping up. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Testing
I ran a test with both of the AotV glyphs last week. Knowledge had a nonexistent very poor showing, but I'm posting the report here anyway because seeing that the Glyph of Knowledge is useless sometimes is still an important data point.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - IF YOU CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT… by Dignan Glyphs: Recall (AotV), Knowledge (AotV) Astro: Kato Katsuro, 2x Ashigaru Harquebus, 3x Ashigaru Yari, Sentinels of Grax (540) Leo: Jarek Guy, Kira Jax, Rendar Fy, 5x M-43 Resistance Fighters (540) Surviving: Kato Katsuro, 6x Ashigaru Yari, 3x Ashigaru Harquebus, 2x Sentinels of Grax ~405 Points Left (1 Ashigaru Harquebus was revived by Recall) Game Summary:
My Thoughts: On certain maps and locations, this glyph is practically worthless. The only time that I would want to risk lava field damage to use this glyph the next round with my army is if I got Kato over there, which has no chance of happening. Of course, other glyphs have very specific uses as well, and this can be addressed by carefully selecting maps/glyph pools. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Testing
Don't know if/when I'd be able to do it, but we definitely want multiplayer tests with this one.

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Testing
For sure. I normally run monthly events on my campus for HeroScape; once I get those back up and running again, I'll try to run some multiplayer game nights to see how people like it outside of a 1v1 setting.

From the glyph of Recall’s thread, a playtest.

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Testing
Even with other armies, Knowledge will probably often be underwhelming in 1v1s. And that's OK. That makes the occasional usefulness that much more exciting, but more importantly means we have something special to offer multiplayer games. To that end, we should probably also have at least one multiplayer scenario, too.

Re: [Pod 0] Glyph of Knowledge - Testing
While I was doing one set of 3-player games in a drafting event I hosted yesterday, another group was running a different test on their own map. Similar to the game I played, they had a pool of a couple different 100-point units to choose from when drafting to make the process easier (we weren't very concerned about competitive balance here, as evidenced by the map itself).
Picture of Map: The Glyph of Knowledge was in the center of those three doorways. Played at 300 points. @Leo Ultra : Ana Karithon, Morsbane, Microcorp Agents @Odzaepher : Iskra Esenwein, Retchets of Bogdan, Shades of Bleakewoode, Haduc @Stormyman : Omnicron Snipers, Mind Flayer Mastermind, Major X17 GAME SUMMARY: I don't have much to work off of here, but from what I'm told, Leo managed to get up on top of those doors with his Microcorp and start shooting into some other starting zones. Odzaepher's flying ghouls managed to battle back at him, while Stormyman was caught in the crossfire. Eventually, Morsbane managed to negate the summoned Retchets of Bogdan, but they still won the day. GLYPH USAGE: This map was a poor choice for the glyph, given the huge towers surrounding it. Knowledge simply isn't a glyph like Thorian or Astrid where it's worthwhile to lose a lot of figures trying to maintain it. I think that all three of them realized this partway through, because Leo was the only one to ever go after the glyph and he did not try to reclaim it after losing it. He only managed to use it for one round (forgetting to use it a second time before initiative was rolled), which let him do the following: Quote:
Also, a fun idea that I'd like to see is maps with multiple Glyphs of Knowledge. It's possible to create an information network revealing entire orders if you can maintain multiple Knowledges. Proud Member of Platyfly!
