#Diving a little deeper synonym update#

Computer science was born from discrete mathematics, and this subject is at the core of the field. Who do they think they are? Ask one.ДЄ brief history of computer science. Digital technologies have taken over the planet, and so with this success, comes a natural tendency to stereotype who computer scientists are and what they do for a living. For the most part, they are not technologists. There seems to be a general confusion about computer and information scientists unless you are one of them. However, this familiarity is also found in most other fields outside of engineering: game designers know a lot about hardware platforms for games, sound designers know the physics and technologies of audio, and humanists know a lot about technologies of media.Д«ut there is a downside to these labels if we dive a little deeper. Engineers create cool stuff that makes our lives safer and better - that is the goal. Knowledge of technology is partly an artifact of the history and practice of engineering. Familiarity and fluency with technology comes with the territory. People who get degrees in engineering or computer and information science do tend to have a better grasp on digital technologies than the average person who has not studied in these fields. And even further if you have two units whose 'combat functions'/gameplay 'roles' are very similar, look at ways to differentiate.I have been called вЂњtechnoguyвЂќ, вЂњtechnologistвЂќ, вЂњtechieвЂќ, and especially вЂњgeekвЂќ and вЂњnerd.вЂќ I love all of these names.

But don't forget to dive a little deeper anti-air, scouting, anti-caster, offensive/defensive mages, different kinds of melee/ranged combat support. Basic stuff like worker, harvester, melee, ranged, siege, caster, flying, etc, you may already have figured out if you haven't, definitely work on filling those gaps so it matches the other factions. 'Bottom-Up': Look at Mechanics/Gameplay/Roles, answering the question 'What gameplay functions ('roles') are my faction missing?'. If you've already done this (stuff like the Gryphon & the Cannoneer), dig a little deeper into the lore & see if you can come up with anything else. 'Top-Down': Look at Theme/Lore/etc, answering the questions 'What kind of faction does the Kul'Tiras look like?' & 'What sorts of warriors would they field?' Think about resonance, and come up with a solid list of tropes (click that link & search for 'Lesson #4'), or 'unit concepts', that make sense/sound cool for the Kul'Tiras. If I may suggest one of the two primary ways to go about doing this:

Flame Strike, Crushing Wave & Earthquake are hero abilities for a reason being able to wield such abilities on a mass-trainable unit (rather than a Hero which is limited to 1) is just gonna be a Bad Time, no matter how high the resource costs.ДЄlso, I'm not sure why you had trouble uploading to the Hive, but I would encourage you not to create multiple topics for something like this, and instead update this thread with release news & such.Д¬lick to expand.Of course, no problem.

I cannot emphasize enough: I think it is a very bad idea to have a standard unit be given any kind of straight-up 'Direct Damage'/'Damage-over-Time' (DD/DoT) ability.

Stuff like 'Forge', 'Siege Tank', 'Barracks', etc.

Speaking of names, you'll want to reconsider any names which are already 'taken' (used elsewhere), if you're designing this faction to be a '5th race addition'-style thing (i.e.

But even then it's spelled 'Griffon', with an 'o' not an 'e'. Unless you are going for a different kind of beast. Warcraft spells them weird (don't ask me why). That's good news it's harder to cut than it is to create IMO.

You should have 12 units (and if I understand correctly, the two different Gryphon's are like two forms of the same thing? So you don't even have 11).

Haven't checked it out but looking at the screenshots you're off to a good start.
