But it will still leave it useless against goblins for any melee fighter.

Goblins suck anyway, you stab 'em and they die. Don't need special abilities for that

Also, consider that as a very might-oriented faction the Stronghold units would most likely have a generally powerful magic defense.

Reducing a Goblin stack's magical defense to zero could be quite devastating.

Yup, but it could as well be peasants there.
The idea was that taking down a few high def units would be much easier than taking down many low def units with high HP.

Having an ability that is effective against everything is kinda imba in itself though.

I guess a problem could arise if there was a faction that had neither high-defence creatures nor high-magical-defence units, that would render Fatal Strike quite useless.

I highly doubt there'll such a faction though.

There is often at least one heavily armored unit on the field, this racial makes the player focus on that very unit. And if there is no such unit then the racial can be compared to the Irresistible Magic I guess.
If not maybe you can add some kind of value that decrease the defense of the target(could be nagative), differently on what kind of level the target has.
(to tired to go into specifics, but you get it I hope...)

Naaah... the trick is to make it simple while keeping it interesting, I don't want to overcomplicate it.

Anyway, update.



I shooped myself a new town pic. Still not exactly what I'm looking for, but better than the last one imo.

Like it, excellent atmosphere. It's just that the town is awfully small and barely visible. Isn't the idea of town pic to see the what the town looks like?

Huh, what was wrong with the old one?
But I guess I understand it was just not the town you imagine for the Coven, in any case this looks awesome as well.

Both of them has been very good, so I'm very interested in seeing if you can find something better.

I wondering, what kind of environment do the Covenisians live in?

@Joonas: True, I guess I could try and shoop a few buildings in, or at least adjust the colour levels on the town itself so it sticks out a bit more. It is a good picture of a non-developed town though.

I imagined it like, as they develop their town they rise from being a hidden, barely visible Coven to having high towers and mountain outposts. More fires are added as well, bringing more details into view.

That's all in my mind though, that pic is all about presentation so your criticism is highly valid.

@Jaba:

Well, it didn't have the atmosphere I wanted, yet it was the closest I could get. This pic brings more of the dark forest theme in imo, and I managed to shoop in the most important part of Coven worship, the Moon, without problem.

Also B-boy had already used it for his valkyrie town, felt kinda weird.

They mostly hang out in mountainous, forested areas around Ranaar.

Reading through my faction I feel a bit unsatisfied with the lore...

I am considering scrapping the whole spiritual moon realm creatures thingy and instead make them worship the night aspect of Sylanna... fits with the dark forest theme... no need to change the creatures themselves either.

Yeah I like that better. Feels like I've already done the whole spiritual thingy with my Spiritualist faction, which I am considering making a new version of.

Hmmm, you'll just have to change the creature descriptions accordingly but it should simplify it a lot. As they say, it's not done when you've got nothing to add, it's done when you've got nothing to retract.

Yeah... and write a bit of new background info and stuff.

Gonna get to it soon.

Man I need info on H6 Skill System! I'm itching for coming up with unique skill trees!

EDIT:

Right... so I'm looking at that Realm Guard now and he's beginning to look more and more lame to me.

*whips out GIMP and looks through art folder*



                                           



Yeah. Imma go with that look instead I think. Turn him into a melee caster...

Hmm I'm kinda unsure of which one I like the best. The first one has a better picture, but I shouldn't care about that.
I think he should have a weapon but I don't really know. A goat mage doesn't sound so appealing.
(but please note that I was also one of the few who really adored your Moon Lord )

I could keep it as a boss creature, I actually like that idea

@Jaba: It's kinda hard when I haven't revealed his new abilities yet. So far it's just a picture for you.

Haha yeah of course, and that might be a good idea. That was probably it's biggest flaw previously, the abilities that is...

I think the issue lies in the Weapon for the Realm Guard. It's just a bit boring IMHO and makes him look like a frenzied Minotaur
How about making him barehanded, and...shoot laserbeams from his eyes?

I actually shooped another weapon unto him at first, but at the time I realized I actually liked the primal look so I let him keep his axe.

If I'm making it a boss creature, I might shoop a new weapon unto him though. Gonna be fun making up overpowered abilities for him

@Jaba: This is gonna be a badass goat, you just wait

EDIT:

I need a bit of help...

I need a name for the Night Lord upgrade... or you can consider the Night Lord the upgrade and give me a name for the normal version...

Damn names.
