(Expert ++) maybe coming to in a future update?

That´s what I thought as well xD
This one should then have another different Layout, where 2 players start next to each other and have to have decks that complement each other to deal with the differet kinds of enemies - that would be cool

[Patch #400042 - 19 May 2023]

Amazing work guys! Love all the changes, my favorite QoL addition is the Pause function 😄

The balance changes are really good too (and in contrast to some others posting here I really like the change to Shrine of War and Breeding Grounds) 

It's really epic that you also listen to the community and even add another feature I suggested - to nox Carrier "push the cart" 😄

And the QoL to frost mage is very nice too. And the tower changes. And you even managed to actually implement the new reassemble ability to Abyssal Warder? You guys would really deserve to actually get payed for all this work 😄

[Game crashing when trying to create a community-map game]

Turns out I didn´t find the map because I expected it to be named in english, while it actually got translated to german and it was listed as "Der Osterbaum" instead of "The Easter Tree" for me. 

[Game crashing when trying to create a community-map game]

Hi, unfortunately I wasn´t able to find the latest Community Map alongside the other community maps. I went back and forth and searched within all 3 difficulties when suddenly also the game crashed (froze and I had to shut down my pc to recover).  I think I´ll reinstall the game, as that most of the time did the trick..

That´s what was written in the Error-Log:

If yes and it still occours, maybe posting the error-log would help identifying whats the problem (tho I´m not the one who would know then, but kubik maybe)

[CCC #10 - Ashbone Pyro vs. Magma Hurler - UNTIL 12.03.2023]

Oh wow these times again, well played guys ! Was great fun, thanks for hosting Kapo 🙂

And I wasn´t that bad apparently, top 10 out of the 68 MagmaHurler-runs and Top15 in total. I tried both once because at first my little Ashbones were sad that I didn´t take them in the first place, tho I can´t help and like Magma Hurlers better 😄 That´s why I send my Hurler entry even tho I kinda knew after I tried both once that Ashbones are faster and if I would have done a second run with Ashbones I might have had an even better time than 9.40, because my first Ashbone run was already 10.17 and there I didn´t tryhard ^^ while my first casual run with hurlers was like 10.52. But I wanted Hurlers to win so I did a second and third try there.

It uses Jorne as ground presence, as he has the highest Health Pool other than Spore Launcher and Moloch (effective HP). The idea is to place 2 purple Kobold inc.s and then use it to spam WBG in front of the camps, using Offering to regain charges.

Sounds also Fun yeah, would like to see you deck 😉

[Community Update - March 2023]

Amazing infos as always, you guys never disappoint 😉

imo the wormlings should be 4-unit-squad that cant mount on walls (m-sized could also work), because it would look weird to put Wormlings on Walls either way, even if their tail wouldn´t stick out. Like, how are they supposed to bury through the wall without breaking it? And how do they manage to climb up there otherwise? Even when Small worms are on the walls they´d have to lay their tail somewhere, that would need a complete reskin of the model

Orcs Going Ham: (PvE allrounder)
- play all Orc cards and let them group up.
- use Twilight-Minions

btw. what is weird here is that Twilight Minions count as Orcs - so the group-up ability of Thugs and Strikers gets activated if the minions are around, but they don´t group up with them 😄
Would be cool if that would work

Good Idea, I updated the original Post

[Fun Decks]

Hi, here are some fun decks based around a certain card-synergy:

Bandits Indestructable irrepressible: (PvE allrounder, with an properly adjusted name)
(hoping this one doesn´t gets copyright-striked by Kapo lol)
Synergys:
- Commandos+RiotersRetreat. Super-fun T2. +Bandit-Lancer on T3
- Waystation+Oracle-Mask. Quickly deploy stations to make your Units indestructable when activating the Mask´s ability.
- T4 Buffing Up your Banzai-Lords with unity OR Bloodhealing (as I read somewhere they don´t work properly together) and use birds to be indestructable.

MEUaFCNGahUhKlUUZFZgYcYmUqUkYMUHaPaGNxU2S

Orcs Going Ham: (PvE allrounder)
- play all Orc cards and let them group up.
- use Twilight-Minions to buff up your small units b 65% more atk - use on slayers at T3
- at T4 you use Wintertide to make you TwilightSlayers immune to knockback and give dmg reduction.
- Play Construct because this card goes ham by itself
M4F-DaFiFFTUWkWRXTZSaJTOTMUYUhEKTGNyYJQrL
 

RockSolid: (PvE, for Dwarfen Riddle f.e. but consider using GiantWyrm on T4 if you want this deck for that map xd)
- def deck to try out Earthkeeper
- build T2 Army for fun and use Earthkeepers ability on the go (on Rogan f.e. so he stays save)
- use Razorleaf as defender and activate Earthkeepers ability on him while he stays in the back besides healing Well, Razorshards and Crystal Fiend so they stay alive
MiIFYWKZFvYnF8TpSiYmYvUtIsPGQHQ5VjGsSzMBN

WeWillStillStand:
- different Version of aboves deck
MZFsPzMiIFYWKuLrIvYUMcVmYiYnFpSGQHQ5V8EEL

RootingPower: (rPvE root-deck, slow and fun)
- use a lot of treespirits, keep them, use Razorleaf on T3 and use them to clear the map while moving the connection forward with Sylvan Gates
- play incredible Mo´s third ability to insta-root dazed units
MZFULzMSPsXuLcM-KDXFYgGvVYTGQoR_W5VvMqYWa

FireRoot_rPvE: (rPvE fire-root deck, bit on the weak side but fun nevertheless)
- use treefiends because they disable enemies
- use fire spells to get rid off anything annoying (earthquaker for buildings, cluster for minions)
MFYvVZFuLXUYTcM-KPSGQoYRXSPDX5VZYsXGNzMWL

This Eliminates: (PvE allrounder)
- using Eliminatoooor. Buffs (almost) everything. also damages stuff, so use viridya to keep units alive
- using Fire Crystal because it is somewhat viable and bec its fun to enrage (almost) all your units ^^
McZSUvERSTP7YFW7TIXKKyIWYjLrYXX7HRVhXzIqO

ShatterTheRainbow: (PvE allrounder)
- (try to) use Warlock (blue) in PvE, keep the until T3 because Red-Aff Rageflame doesn´t reduce dmg take on frozen units (Blue would be redundant with Warlock)
- (try to) use Girl-Power as long as the card still exists and doesn´t get gendered, make Sure you use it on moon once a game for fun and on Bloodhorn. Also Gladiatrix is in the deck to have more targets for the spell
- On T4 use Tempest, because nobody else does (and bec he shatters ice) but be careful, his freeze on spawn has a very small radius
MEUaFCN6M8XiR8W_KRZEYYF6TqSUUKZYURUsSRIzM

ShadesOfFlame:
- double Eliminator, because he buffs Shades. GG
MgEvFsFvYiSYFdZcZ7TDW8MrYLZYGHYGWXXxIhXBa

 

KoboldsFireTricks:
- Fire Frost fun. Use Skyelf-Sage on Infernal Machine & build Northstar next to it to let buildings burn hard.
- not the best orb solution yet (Fire-Frost-Frost-Fire) -> Infernal on T4, I just put all the cards in I thought would work funny together (probably needs void-return)
MEUCNlOfI8WhKiS_K8KcTyFdGPIIUMSkYJQCG2VGN

StoneRage:
- Play Rageflame the way he was meant to be: Enraged! To do so, use fire crystal (and then more fire-aff cards to actually make use of the crystal)

[my idea for new t4 stonekin unit]

This Post would fit better under the "cards" section I think.

So your idea is to basically copy Stikers but make them stronger and stonekin T4? I´d prefer some uniqueness here. Maybe make a Squad of 4x medium Strikers (recolored to stonekin). And they would always need steadfast to compete in T4 yes.

Some interesting thoughts. Cannot say I agree with everything, but the orb changes (especially) for healing spells could be nice to see, as it would promote some more interesting and original decks. Also, other spells with healing capabilities would get more spotlight. At the same time, I can see this being reeaaaally unpopular. 

As for the rarities, I generally agree that at least some seem off-place. Ice Fang Raptor, Forest's Vim, etc are on my mind the msot. Though, I think it might be a bit controversial if the rarities of original cards were to be changed. Personally, I would support some changes in this regard, since some cards are currently, at least for me, just instant sell/reforge fodder. 

All in all, the most interesting discussion could be, if the healing spells, as the core faction utility, should be more restricted Orb wise. As well as some of the T3/T4 faction cards. 

Thx for the feedback. Would be interesting to know how the majority of the community would think about the change of healing-spells to be more orb-restricted.
But yeah, I can also see this being unpopular and can imagine people saying "if you don´t want to use one green orb for heal simply don´t and get creative. Well I already do so, maybe that change wouldn´t be welcomed by many.

Icefang Raptor is an interesting one, because this already got changed by the Skylords a few times. It didn´t have stampede before, nor the speed when ice-shielded. But I can´t help but still feel like the unit is nieche and weak. The stampede also feels weird to me, because the card´s model brothers Fire Stalker and Razorshard don´t have stampede, even tho they are fast all the time.
Like I said, some "freeze-on-hit" sounds super fun for me and would fit it´s name.

 

For Forest´s Vim there has been a nice idea on discord by Kapo a long while ago, that would completely change the card to a buff. The idea was to use it on a rooted unit, that then gets the support of all other friendly rooted units on the map and thus can be used aggresively f.e. in rPvE. Sounded super fun. I can imagine that this would even be technically possible because you could just add the ability of the new sylcan gate on a specific unit for the duration of the effect, but increase the range even further to like 400m to cover the map.

 

On what things do you disagree in particular?

So many completely different propositions. 

😄 I know it´s a lot that I want to see changed slightly

But what do you mean by 'completele different propositions' ?

[Lost Warlord]

Hi Skylords,
as you may have noticed, I recently wrote a topic about cards that bother me / should also receive a change at some point. When Lost Warlord came to my mind, too many things came up which made me think that maybe I should write this in a different post to make it more readable.

Lost Warlord: An ultrarare, with the most-restrictive orb requirements that a card can have. 

He should be faction T4 core unit, but doesn´t have any ability to strenghten neary Lost-Soul units.

This card should do something that LostSouls doesn´t have yet and be a supporter+frontliner
-> just like dreadnought for example, which both heals ice-shielded-allies and deals extra-damage to frozen targets thus synergizes with frost cards.

How can Warlord synergize with other Lost Souls? He shouldn´t simply do what f.e. Lost Evocation does (=dmg increase(red aff)/less dmg taken(blue aff)) so that´s not really an option. Lost Dragon(g) already provides some sort of CC so that´s not needed either / not that fitting. 

What does pure lost miss? I often have the Problem that the survivability isn´t good enough in this faction, so - Heal maybe? Less damage taken maybe? Or more an damage amplifier maybe? Some sorf of Synergy with Lost Revenants?

Due to the fact that Lost Obelisk is now on the table which would expand the lifetime of Reventants, that´s not something Lost Warlord should focus on. 

 

My Ideas:

• His teleport-ability should afterwards not only buff only him, but all nearby LS-Units/Revenants should receive the dmg buff (red aff) / up to 4 nearby LS-units also receive a shield. 

New passive: Distributed Life-Stealer:

• Every time Lost Warlord deals damage, either
• a) every friendly Lost Souls Unit within 20m heals 20% of that damage OR
• b) every friendly Lost Revenant within 20m heals 60% of that damage.
  ( E.g. if Warlord would deal 1k dmg per hi, every friendly LS-Unit would instandly get 200hp everytime he attacks. OR everny Revenant would instandly get 600hp.
   Would need testing and probably number adjustments. Could also be changed so that the maximum available heal is then distributed amongst nearby units instead of that fixed amount)

New passive: Warlords Enragement:

• Nearby Lost Revenants have Rage.

- added related cards, card description and card abilities to the general info tab on the card pages

- updated card tooltip to now also show card abilities with an option to compare differences between affinities, when pressing "Ctrl"

Wow that is epic! Thank you! 🙂 
This was the one thing that I missed on the Website, that I wasn´t able to see the card´s abilities. And even both affinities are shown, with different colored text-parts of what is different to the other aff, wow. 

One thing I´d now wish for would be that if a card has an ability that only affects a certain unit type, that all cards of the unit type would now show up in the "related cards" section *-*
(F.e. all Beasts would show up on Amazon(g)´s page; thugs would show up on striker´s page and vice versa) but no stress, maybe you already had this in mind? just something that´d be cool in the future and would help with deckbuilding and finding synergies.

[Ice Guardian]

Hi, I think the card Ice Guardian is quite cool and stuff, but he does rely on having Ice barier in your T1 as well. Deckslots are very limited and thus this card often gets left out - at least in PvE decks for sure.
(In PvP he is still frequently used I think because he is a good Powerwell-defender - probaly due to the fact that it got this extra ability in a Skylords update: Home Advantage If the unit is played out within a 20m radius around a friendly Monument or Power Well, it will enter the game with Frost Ward already active.)

But what if he could be more deckslot-efficient? What if Ice Guardian would have another active ability, to spawn an Ice Barrier by himself? Like this:

I also don´t think this would make Ice Barrier redundant, because it´d still be useful in many other situations.

Something different that could also already help to make him more useful would be a change that he could simply always activate his Frost Ward ability, not just around buildings.

[Lost Wanderer]

I'm not sure ways we could make this mechanic more discoverable, but it does actually give you some control over who gets shielded.

Oh well that was nothing new to me, my problem with Lost Wanderer is that he doesn´t have preferred Targets himself like shaman does. Shaman somehow (almost) always wants to heal the unit that has the least hp left /most damaged one - when you set shaman on "hold" (F-Hotkey).

Lost Wanderer doesn´t care and just gives shields to anyone if not ordered otherwise. And that ordering is quite tedious if you want to have your army shielded.

[Lost Wanderer]

Hm yeah Lost Wanderer is not easy to use or rather annoying. What makes him worse than shamans is that as you stated he shields units completely random and not the ones with low hp first (not 100% sure if that´s correct but I think he doesn´t have preferred targets right now). Also if you command him to attack, he wont even use his shield ability when its ready again.

Your idea is an interesting one - that Lost Wanderer would first shield every (other?) unit that is in the same group as him, and only if there everyone already has an ice shield, he starts shielding random. But that does sound hard to implement. 

I wonder tho if it would help already if he would act the way that shaman acts and always tries to shield the unit with the lowest health.

[thunder wagon]

OR it would also be cool if the ability would get a bonus effect: [Feed the beast: Every friendly beast gets 40% increased movement speed]

So while activated, it could enable cool strategies with slower units like Moloch.

But this would need an additional requirement, that f.e. units which have "slow", would receive a much higher speed boost than units that are already faster by themselfes.
No idea if that would be possible tho (affecting a certain type of unit should be doable, because the new ability from Mutating Maniac only affects twilight-units for example. But affecting units that have a specific ability is probably harder to do). 

Or it could speed up units of type "ancient/artifact" to enable fun strategies with construct.

• filter out pve (yellow) messages. This could also be a third tab for only player messages. 

Aren´t these messages red? But I like your Idea - an optional third tab. Maybe even customizeable which messages go there?

[Remove the BG10 achievement please]

Wouldn´t it be easier to set the constraint of 4p rPvE 10 to: 

• Before you can play 4p rPvE 10, you have to win 2p rPvE 10 once. And before that, you have to win 1p rPvE 10 once.

(Just like campaign-maps are only enabled by beating the other first. Because 4p is easier than 1p right? so it would require a certain lvl of skill to win that)

[have "flying attack only" units be able to attack XL units]

Sounds fun. I think this topic came up before already in discord, but I dont remember what the outcome was. Some liked it, others not so much.

Could be really interesting but I´m not sure what implications this would have in the entire game - quite a lot probably.
