"Tremors"
Win a campaign map using 4 unique Worm units.

Might as well include the first idea I had, which is revisited Twilight T2 archer from my own submission into the contest. 
I just want to see more reskined Magma Hurler units 🤗
 
Cursewood
Uses Magma Hurler as a base.
Abilities:
Miasma Balls - Every 3 seconds, unit hurls a ball of infected miasma, dealing 210 damage to enemies in a 8m radius around its target, up to 330 in total. Enemies hit by the miasma are cursed: for the next 3 seconds, they will take extra 25% damage from entities infected by the Twilight curse. 
Transformation - The unit is infected with the Twilight Curse and can be transformed into any other Twilight creature. Activate to start the mutant process and choose a Twilight unit from the current deck to be transformed into. The current deck must contain at least one other Twilight unit whose orb requirements are met!
Impiety - When this unit is spawned through Transformation from other Twilight unit, its power cost is reduced by extra 15% on top of the usual reduction. When Cursewood is spawned in such a way, it will deal 50% less damage for 10 seconds. 

Recently, an awesome event took place with the Official Card Design Contest. As with any game and ever more so with card games, people simply do enjoy coming up with their own card ideas. No wonder, that this contest was super popular and arguably one of the most partaken in. Even the forum thread itself got over 100 replies, which is super nice (I myself am guilty of around 16 posts there *cough cough*).
Since it seems people still want to share their ideas, instead of making up new thread every time, I decided that it might be worth while to make a megathread, where new card suggestions can be posted. 
I would also like to point to this awesome site - https://smj.cards/creator , where you can create extremely good mock-ups of new SR cards. Go wild people! 
 

I would welcome more squad based higher tier units any day. 
Add charge to them and I'm sold ;^)

Amazing stuff, thank you all for your hard work. 
Happy to see the building changes, as an avid builder, stronger towers are welcomed!

I'm happy to stay in Pro league, thank you very much. Let the suffering fun begin!

There are already balancing discussions for Moloch going on in the balancing discord:

Feel free to check it out, if you want to 🙂

Tho I completely agree with the TO, just to lower expectations: I personally would not expect this to be high on the list of priorities. Fire got some decent buffs and is by far in the best state it ever was. Would not be surprised if this changes will take some time.
Though looking forward too for some buffs there.

Card idea #2 which is on the serious note. Though I am still very on the fence, whether or not go for something else. Ahh, those decisions, decisions... 😄
Name: Worldship
Tier & Orbs: T2, Nature and Shadow
Type: Unit
Power: 280
Hit points and Size: 2700 & XL
Attack value and Type: 2400 & ranged (M counter)
Passive Abilities: 
Ash Cannons - Every 2 seconds, 4 ashen turrets deal 60 damage each to enemies in 6m radius, up to 100 total.
Sail Catalyst - Unless this unit is surrounded by at least 4 friendy Nature, Shadow or Amii units within 25m radius, it will gain the Slow debuff.
Elusive - The duration of the immobilizing effects of Freeze and Paralyze is reduced by 10%.
Active Abilities: 
Blessed Temporal Field - 70 power
Activate to create a temporal field centered on the unit with a diameter of 25 m. Allied small and medium units within this field are immune to knockback effects, while also taking 30% less damage. Lasts for 20 seconds. The heavy load of the temporal generator means, that Worldship is unable to be healed during the effect. Reusable every 40 seconds.
Infused Temporal Field - 70 power
Activate to create a temporal field centered on the unit with a diameter of 25 m. Allied small and medium units within this field gain 70% siege damage, while also taking 15% less damage. Lasts for 20 seconds. The heavy load of the temporal generator means, that Worldship is unable to be healed during the effect. Reusable every 40 seconds.
Uses Battleship as a base model.
Explanation of idea behind the card:
Amii as a faction is still quite the blank slate, so it's hard to come up with actually researched propositions. But I will still try to make a case for Worldship, new Amii heavy support vessel. First thing first, it's the second XL T2 unit after Harvester, but it will not take over his sweet spot, as Worldship flies - thus losing some of the advantages of this type, while having the ability to navigate some obstacles. As it's main role is to support small and medium ground troops, it also gains a Slow unless it is near such units. 
The idea is that Worldship will be spearheading attacks on enemy camps, shielding units from damage and knockbacks, or buffing them to deal faster with enemy buildings, especially spawners. Hefty bound price and extra power needed for the ability means the unit will be expensive, but worthwhile tool for Amii decks, while also synergizing with pure Nature and Shadow cards (small and medium units only). It shouldn't be an answer to every scenario, but might be most useful against heavily defended points. 
Another balance factor is that it is unable to be healed (self, globally, shamans etc.) while the Temporal field effect is activated. Means you cannot just attack-move in the middle of the camp and sit back. Numbers probably need to be tweaked (no wonder), but I think the basic idea behind it could serve as an interesting addition to Nature/Shadow decks. 
Also playing with the idea, that the Temporal Field could be a toggle (while also disabling attack of the unit, for balance). 
 
 

I guess we should send our card ideas via DMs, but hell, people are sharing their ideas and I wanna do that too 😄
Name: Cursed Tree
Tier & Orbs: T2, Fire and Nature
Type: Unit
Power: 110
Hit points and Size: 1000 & L
Attack value and Type: 1300 & ranged (L counter)
Passive Abilities: Miasma Balls - Every 3 seconds, unit hurls a ball of infected miasma, dealing 195 damage to enemies in a 8m radius around its target, up to 330 in total. Enemies hit by the miasma are cursed: for the next 5 seconds, they will take extra 30% damage from entities infected by the Twilight curse. 
Active Abilities: Transformation (standard)
Used Magma Hurler model as a base. The rocky parts are twilight greenish, the central 'fire' has the twilight yellow.
Explanation of idea behind the card:
Since the EA times, I always hated playing the Twilight. The faction seemed so good looking, so 'cool' if you will, but playing it was always a misery for me. The recent changes made by SR made it great again (pun not intended) and well, since now I play it plenty, I feel there is something missing for the early game of Twilight. Twilight faction lacks ranged options on second Era, only such unit currently being Deathglider (flier, papermush HP), if we don't count 'pure' cards. Cursed Tree is wannabe solution to that problem. It also serves as a 'middle point' power wise between the lower units and Vileblood.
It offers good damage and potent support/buff effect for other Twilight cards, alongside the upside of being a ranged attacker. Downside and a means to balance it are no knockback and high power cost. 
Its effect means that the card is still greatly useful even into later stages of the game, and once it loses its usefulness, Cursed Tree can be Transformed into a higher tier unit. The Miasma Balls effect only working for other Twilight units/buildings should also make the card not too strong in PVP, but since I am completely oblivious to this part of the game and its metas, I cannot be 100% sure. 
And, then there is the biggest upside of it all - another card using the ALMIGHTY MAGMA HURLER MODEL!
 

I CANNOT STOP! But truly, already submitted my entries, but my head just wants to keep going 🥲
 
Name: Possesed Fortress
Tier & Orbs: T3, Frost, Shadow and Frost/Shadow
Type: Building
Power: 175
Hit points and Size: 3195
Attack value and Type: 2400
Passive Abilities: 
Ghost Turrets - Every 3 seconds, 8 turrets deal 50 damage each to enemies in 5m radius, up to 75 in total. Knocks back small units. Can attack only ground troops.
Ray of Despair - Every 4 seconds, unit casts an energy lance that deals 110 damage to enemies in a 12m radius around it's target, up to 165 in total. Can only attack airborne entities.
Cadaver Walls - Possesed Fortress can collect corpses from fallen enemies every 5 seconds, storing the avaible energy. When damaged, the Fortress will use up this stored energy to heal itself, using 1:1 ratio of energy to HP. Maximum storage capacity is 750 lifepoints. Maximum healing is 150 hp every second.
Uses Stronghold model as a base.
Explanation of idea behind the card:
Well, Lost Souls buildings are mostly lackluster. Only faction defense is Lost Launcher, while on higher tiers player has to rely on pure Shadow/Frost cards. Time to change that!
Possesed Fortress provides that mid-to early late game defense, which can hold its own against both ground and air troops. It can also use the corpses to heal itself, while having only limited storage for balance purposes. Its not meant to be completely sustainable in every situation, but with perfect conditions (or some support) this building can hold the line very well.

I'm so excited to see what everyone send in! 

Time is up!
In total, I have received 140 entries from 88 different participants.
The next step is to compile all the data and present it to the jurors, they will (understandably) need some time to judge all the entries and to discuss edge cases. After the jury has made their decision, I will post the results here.
Please note that 140 entries is A LOT, so this might take a while.
Thanks for all the cool submissions and the awesome energy so many of you brought to this contest! 

Oh, and happy new year you all!

Let's bring in some Christmas magma hurlers 🥳
Name: Ice Thrower
Tier & Orbs: T3, 3x Frost
Type: Unit
Power: 150
Hit points and Size: 1575 and L
Attack value and Type: 2200
Passive Abilities: 
Sharp Ice - Every 4 seconds, unit throws a ball of sharpened ice, dealing 440 damage to target, and up to 660 in total in radius of 10m. It can ignore the usual damage reduction on frozen targets. 
Winterbringer - Units attacked by Ice Thrower will be frozen for 5 seconds. Can occur only once every 20 seconds on single target. If Ice Thrower is under the effect of an Ice Shield, its attack will also make frozen units have their freeze state elongated by 5 more seconds. Occurs only once every 20 seconds. After the freeze wears off, the enemy target will have period of immunity from this effect. 
Siege - Deals 50% more damage to structures. 
Uses Magma Hurler model. 
Explanation of idea behind the card:
What can I say, another brother to the Hurler family. It allows nice synergy with the signature freezing ability of Frost, while also providing another 'archer' for Frost T3. 

Oh, and happy new year you all!
