was it a good idea to put a 7th general?

was it really a good idea to add valkrill then just stop heroscape?

[Viktor, the Kyrie Russian]

Even if they did continue on with Heroscape, Valkrill seemed somewhat useless. It turned the smooth synergy of Heroscape into a cluttered mess. On the other hand, the concept of Valkrill is somewhat cool, but may have been a meaningless attempt by Wizards to promote D&D the the Heroscape audience.

Ballroom is well meaning, but unfortunately the cancellation before he could flesh out turned an interesting new faction into what appears to be a stupid gimmick. I am of the opinion that if it was known in advance that D3 was the last wave then we would not have and Valkrill.

[Su-Bak-Na]

I would prefer the original generals. Then again I prefer original 'Scape. I also prefer 'Scape still running strong. In which case Valkrill would not exist. Then again maybe a 7th general that the original designers had been planning may have popped up, but who knows.

Nah, Valkrill didn't need to come along. I only ever use one of his units, and that one coulda fought for Utgar.

[Red_Sox_1]

Really, every Vakrill unit makes perfect sense as Utgar. They all fit Utgar thematically, and most of they're synergies are with Utgar units. It probably would have made a bit more sense to make these units Utgar, but really, it's not that big of a deal (to me) in the end.

this poll is a one sided argument. I agree with adding Valkrill but not ending Heroscape. Because of the situation it was stupid though. By your poll I would have to vote that it was a bad idea, so I didn't vote. Of course I respect the views that it was bad regardless.

[kolakoski]

Well met!

It is standard house rule that Valkrill is part of Utgar.

I've never understood the hate for Valkrill.

There is a *ton* of room for a second evil general in the canon; I only with he'd come earlier.

It's up to us to develop him, but I'm glad he's there.

It may be the power of association, as Valkrill was introduced, Heroscape was cancelled. As you mentioned, Valkrill didn't have time to be developed. Personally, I wish that Valkrill hadn't been introduced. I play Valkrill as Utgar units.

[robbdaman]

Valkrill serves a good purpose in C3V units so I think he has a place now.

Agreed.
