The Mercenary Health Upgrade, Speed Turtle and Worker Health Upgrade ARE included in the race, but not in the post. These researches/items are for each race, and therefor does also include into this one.[/list][/list]

[JayceJa]

not sure whether i really understand it, but it looks like a baser who needs a small amount of gold to start basing, like tauran, but has access to stronger towers at the cost of gold, this in itself is a decent enough idea,
the towers are slow yet powerful, with chaos damage, although your numbers are a bit off as right now the towers are pathetically weak,

i don't like the theme, the whole chaos thing though

[Sipondo]

Ok, thanks for the comment. Let me make two things clear:

The towers are real mass number towers, their weakness is a slow cooldown but incredible range. They also cost no food.
With gold normal towers can be improved to 1 gold towers, and you can make am advanced tower line that cost 5 gold in begin, and again for the last upgrade 1 gold.
He can base with not much gold, aswell he is the perfect teambaser. With much gold, he can also fight like a magnataur or tauren.

The theme comes good together (in my sight). The Corrupted ancients and tree's are used, while it stands parralel to Nature. Well, I like the theme.

[JayceJa]

i didn't see the towers that way because 1100 and 1000 range isn't incredible, so you need more work on the balancing numbers, but that doesn't matter too much.

so far i don't see how he is meant to take down titans in melee like mag or tauran in any way, he doesn't have nearly enough stamina upgrades, and most your upgrades make him seem more like a satyr/faerie, this is probably better suited more preferable road for it,

though if you actually meant him to be more like mag or tauran, you need to add more survivability to him,

____________________________________________________________________________________

Just voted, i voted the second from the top, looks cool, but ill need to see it in real to judge for sure

[Sipondo]

Yes, I'll modify some things, and I updated the post. Remember that there is also an additional range upgrade, so the Ancients of War can get a range of 1150. But: I changed that. Now the upgrade does 25 range each interval and 1 damage each interval.

EDIT: Towers are slightly stronger now.

[Megika]

Some notes (in no particular order):
On the Immolation's (assuming that by Flame Armor you mean Immolation) you should say what the radius is. Small thing, but good to see.
The blink seems overpowered. With zero cooldown, even if you had already spent 50 mana, it's an almost instant 1200 range blink. 
Extremely easy to die, but that's probably deliberate. Well, at least until you get a research center.
Immolation on the walls is seriously useless. Considering you need a merchant for them, you probably won't get the upgrade until late-ish game. 10 damager per second... with the hero armor spell damage reduction (33%) it does 6.66 damage per second. Come on.
Is it a ranged unit? If not, considering its fragility, damage upgrades are useless. In any case, 15 damage on a poke won't make a real difference (except in exceptional circumstances.
Original Special Towers please. Not just tropical glyph and aura tree.
Lumber Upgrades?
I can't see how 130 hp for the workers would make any real difference.
Standard worker hp upgrades?
Also, "Chaon Lightning"? I thought it was a typo, but it popped up three times... Do you mean Chaos/Chain? I mean, the only two Chaon's in modern language (as far as I can tell) are an ancient Greek hero, and an author.
Ignited Soul is a passive ability? Radius?
Just noticed Black Form increases Blink range. 600 X 3 = 1800. Hmmm.... 1800 range blink... anyone else see a problem with that?
You neglected to include the costs of some of the last researches.
0 food towers just seem wrong. There's so many things one could do with 0 food towers...
Siege damage, if I remember correctly, is complete crap against hero armor. So... kinda useless until the end of the game...

Finally, the whole theme just seems wrong to me. Too much like nature.

Wow, that's quite a list.

He is quite right, these things wont happen because they either need a very strong argument ( make blink with a higher cooldown but make your guy have less ms?) also, immolation end game.. 10 damage? its shit. lumber upgrades? theyre necessary if you say you have "high costing lumber". food? its necessary with the "incredible" range that you are planning to put on the towers. seige damage? nada, peircing/chaos? maybe. this is not a bad idea but it needs serious reworking, especially with towers and blink.

[Sipondo]

Blink - Hmm, yes. Setted to 3 second cooldown.
Research Center - Yes, that's the way planned.
Immolation - Changed to 20, Chaos Wisp immolation changed to 35. Radius of Wisp is 250, and of walls is 200.
Ranged - I planned to give him range.
Damage Upgrades - Improved
Original Special Towers - Had 1 slot left, so 1 original added. And not all has to be original ffs, goblin and magnataur both got deep freeze etc. Much races have same Special Towers.
Lumber Upgrades - Why do you think there is no food cost on towers? He is planned to have a slow lumber harvesting in begin of game, but a great one in lategame. Can't base fast.
Hp Workers - It does versus lvl 1 nukes.
Standard Worker Hp etc. - Duh.... too lazy to add that. Added now -.-
Chaon - It's a twist between chain and chaos...
Ignited Soul - Passive Immolation, read up.
Black Form - changed
Costs - Done
0 Food Towers - I added build time of towers now.
Siege Damage - Pierce now




Idak -

Ms - 300 ms is lower than normal, bad surviving. Needs the blink and ms upgrades fast.
Immolation - Yeye -.-
Lumber Upgrades - You're Right! No lumber upgrades!
Incredible Range - You call that incredible -.-
Siege - Pierce

Comment - The blink is fixed, and towers just have pierce damage and the build time is shown.

[eLK.]

Take into account that Titan's range is 128.

[Darox]

180 would give him about the same range as a tauren upgraded.

[Megika]

Regarding the Lost One Tower, doesn't locust make the unit invisible? Also, even if it does not make the unit invisible, titans who haven't seen the tower before will be very puzzled (to say the least) when unselectable tentacles start popping up and attacking them. Also also, when you say that tentacles have 100 hp and are kill-able, do you mean all tentacles or the cage tentacles? The tower's tentacles will be made invulnerable by locust, so they'd be unkillable. How many tentacles in the cage spawn, and what range do they have? Range of tentacles?

An unleash and infernal combo would be imbalanced. Five second stun total... that's fairly huge.

Regarding worker hp, a standard level 1 bouncing nuke does 130 damage to every target. Not sure about other nukes (demonicus, bubonicus etc).

1. About the nukes, you forgot global spell damage reduction.
2. Infernals etc., fixed that.
3. Lost One Tower, locust doesn't make it invisible (obviously), melee tentacles ofcourse, a cage is globally always 8 units, if cage tentacles would be locust, the titan could just walk out..., so only the summoned tentacles have 100 hp, else I would have set that in the normal descriptiont too.


His range begins better, but he begins short with escape abilities and no fortified armor.
180 would give him about the same range as a tauren upgraded.

And Darox, please read your PM'S

[Megika]

I agree on two and three, but what global spell damage reduction?

[Sipondo]

It's the reduction of spell damage, differs for each armor type.

[Darox]

The builder is horribly horribly weak.

Bad ms plus lower hp plus unarmoured type armour means this sucker will be dominated by titans and especially by summons.

[Sipondo]

1. That was more a flame post than a normal post.
2. He can upgrade hp and ms pretty fast, and blink.
3. Unarmoured changed.
4. PLEASE ANSWER MY PM'S

[eLK.]

This guy shoots troll witch doctors out of his hands. I demand an implement.

[Sipondo]

Fixed: He now shoots the projectile troll witch doctors shoot.

[Darox]

No, if he gets max ms upgrades he will be as fast as the slowest builder.

[Megika]

It's the reduction of spell damage, differs for each armor type.

Two armor types have a global spell damage reduction: Hero and Divine.

The workers have neither.

[D1RE]

But you can give it spell reduction anyway. That's what demonologist have if I'm not wrong.

[Sipondo]

The Workers and Builder himself have now a global spell-damage reduction.

To Darox:

• I added "Aether", the Third ms upgrade.
• Please note that he also has got Blink.
• And again, PLEASE READ YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGES.

I also improved the Ancient of War (-1 gold cost)
... and increased the range scale for the protectors and ancients. The last (1 gold) upgrade does now give more range.

[D1RE]

You MUST increase base movement speed. If he can't get gold early he'll be a crippled cripple. And due to the lack of base hp/armor/speed he'll be an easy kill and can't take chances, lowering his chances of early gold before an eventual mini if you play a pub. This race won't be stable enough without some better start.

[Sipondo]

Fixed

[Sipondo]

Ok, I remade the suggestion a bit and added some things. React.

(And do not say double post, since this post is 2 months later made...)
