I guess it's more important to focus on balance vs. good as you put it, or trying to make sure everyone plays everything all the time. I just don't think that's always feasible; but that said, I think the vast majority of C3V units are "good" in that they are interesting, or at least to me; plenty of fun powers and unique looking figures, just to me the point costs are a little off on some, that's all.

Also, your head canon is remarkably accurate. Although, that small “bad part” was a months-long ordeal full of stress for us playtesters. Fortunately it all appears to have worked out in the end, even if it was a very unpleasant ride. The community will never know, care, or even agree with everything we did for it and seems determined to give Renegade the benefit of the doubt, which is fine (frankly I can take very little credit for what happened; that was all the work of a few stellar individuals who will also never be appreciated enough in this community). But things are on the upswing at Renegade and despite everything I am genuinely looking forward to what they have in store. |

Speaking of the long established community of fan custom units and this site...and eventually a team of customizers that helped design some AoA units (and I believe D&D units). Here is my old Evil Raelin design from 2006 (but I am no means a top custom unit designer): https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...moreheroscaper Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I will be interested to hear how tournaments go in the beginning. Nothing in the first release looks like it would require a change in army building with the old stuff and I'm not sure the new stuff would do well against some of the old power builds. But the old stuff won't be available to a new generation, and it would be extremely uncool to mow down everything with Glads and Blasts or Q9+Krav and Rates or whatever else and every new player thinks you suck, because you're using those units.....
Jugger It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect! |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Numbers are fun.
AoA Master Set 8*24: 192 8*7: 56 4*3: 12 16*2: 32 18*1: 18 For 310 ordinary hexes and 20 water + 8 ruin pillars and some walls Based on the good old 'hex count' metric, that would be 330, with pillars not contributing. BftW: 2*24: 48 5*7: 35 3*3: 9 2*2: 4 6*1: 6 For 102 ordinary hexes and 13 water+wellspring water (of which 3 belong to Ewashia) 2 jungle trees (which do count as hexes in the great hex count) For a complete hex count of 117 If we compare to old sets: RotV: 359 SotM: 232 BftU: 161 Marvel: 103 Thus, the new set sits comfortably between sets 1 & 2, while the Wellspring set is essentially identical to Marvelscape.

I personally wanna see more interesting powers on figures that look cool/interest me. I don't care about raw stats so much as fun/interesting powers when it comes to designing a figure/seeing new stuff "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I'm not assuming it is. And I'm also not sure what a poll of the hundred people that post on this forum would tell you.
Doesnt change the fact that the Einar flag bearer is unplayable unless you either contrive a very specific firmat/circumstance for it or enjoy playing a unit that isnt going to help you much. Even if a persons focus isnt competitive I doubt they want to pick very weak units. Do you pick the car in a racing game that's the slowest by a significant margin if it doesnt have any other benefits? Maybe if your friends are terrible... or if you just enjoy losing lol. Neither is true for me. Most people dont like picking an option in a game (just in general) if it is inferior by a significant margin. |
