Just for fun - Create your own faction

[Vertu Honagan]

Name of Faction - Night Walkers

Theme - A world full of Ninjas and their beast companions that help them in their conquests.

Description - The Night Walkers were originally normal humans with the ability to communicate with animals and they lived rather peaceful co-existant lives in their world. That is until one day a rift opened and thousands of troops poured in through the rift. Most of their world was conquered by this massive army, but those that remained resistant were forced into the shadows. These strong men, women, and their beast companions soon found the shadows as their allies in striking back against not only this army but anything else that eventually made it's way through these rifts.

Color - Dark Green

Playstyle - This faction is based on more calculated plays. All of their cards will be played straight into either the assault or defense zones with invincibility to abilities (Including ability cards and card abilities such as artifacts and characters.) on the first turn they are played, which is considered the Ability: Hidden in the Shadows. Their beast companions will help to buff them and they will be a slightly slower play style much like DoD, but on the offensive side instead of Defensive.

His clothing style is that of a traditional ninja, but with a green headband to match the color of his faction.
Flavortext - There once was a legend of a man that drove back any being that step through one of the rifts to this world.

[Black Lister]

Name of Faction - The Progenitors

Theme - Imperialistic theme

Description - The original human empire that once ruled the multiverse. A unified remnant of an ancient civilization, they have extremely advanced technology that is perfectly mixed with magic (not hybrid abomination-style). Imperialistic in nature. c in nature.

When The Black Lister is destroyed, return all cards removed this way back to their owner's library.
Flavortext - His word holds so much power, even the dumbest beast understands and obeys him.

[Benionin]

Name: Sappers (yeah, it needs work. I'll keep thinking about it). Maybe Spelldrainers

Theme: Anti-Ability/Anti-Magic.

Playstyle: these guys would be weak but would become stronger each time your opponent used an ability, like the opposite of an Aether Acolyte. Good players of the Sappers would use strong threats, perhaps splashed, to draw out the opponents' removal and make their cards stronger.

Color: Black

Aleta, the Immortal Spelldrainer
Pay 1, Exhaust: remove an ability card from a graveyard. Put a 2/2 Elemental token into the support zone.

Unlimited Character: Sapper Adept
Cost: 2
Morale: 3
Human
5/5
Whenever an opponent plays an ability card, this character gets +1/+1

Unique Character: Ophiuchi, Star of Darkness
Purity: 2
Cost: 5
Morale: 10
Elemental
5/5
Untouchable
When you play CARDNAME, remove all ability cards in all graveyards from the game, then remove all other copies of those ability cards from each players' hand and deck.

Location: Canopus, Fortress of the Void
Cost: 6
At the end of each turn, a random ability card from each players' deck is put into their graveyard

Artifact: Energy Locus
Cost: 5
Whenever another player casts an ability card, characters you control gain +1/+1

Stuff like that--benefit from ability cards, hate ability cards. Obviously this would become more powerful in multiplayer.
Matchups: good against ability heavy factions, like the Verore, but bad against factions with big bruisers, like the Sleepers and Warpath. Okay against FD and GI, I imagine.

[Darkhex]

Name of Faction - The Immortals (Came up with this on the spot)

Theme - Combat Masters and very few ability cards.

Description - battered and Broken from fighting off the Infected, Aleta stumbled upon a civilization of people with immortal blood. Collapsing into their leader's arms, they promised to help Aleta fight off the corruption of Avarach and cleanse the realms of the undead.

However the strange race amazingly had a cure for the virus of Avarach. Renewed with hope, Aleta now leads the Armies of the immortals across the worlds, cleansing them of Avarach's Corruption.

Picture - His picture changes depending on what zone he is in. If he is in the Assualt zone, he appears as a man wielding twin blades with Immortal soldiers charging toward the player while he strides toward the player calmly. If he is in the Defense zone, he is only wielding one blade with a large energy shield and facing the player, with immortal Soldiers behind him with shields raised and weapons pointed toward the player.

[Antimony]

Name of Faction: The Port of Nobles

Theme: Seaside Trading Town/Pirates/Creatures of the deep

Description: A massive port town known as The Port of Nobles exists on the continent south of Talich, under the rule of the aligned Flame Dawn and Genesis Industries. The town is mostly neutral, as it is the biggest melting pot of individuals in the world since the calamity. Despite its name, The Port of Nobles is largely a shanty town with many small buildings and shacks packed tightly together. The streets are always full of people, as the entire town is an open market selling anything from food to weapons to shady deals. A few Flame Dawn goons are always on patrol, but the easygoing atmosphere of the ocean sucks them in just as much as the next person. Travelers all over the world always seem to end up here to make a life for themselves, even those from the sea. The seafolk only come up to land here in the Golden coast to trade and mingle with the land-dwellers. They are quite the slippery types, known to shaft an unsuspecting sucker in a deal and swim away before they can even notice. Most notoriously is the one and only seafolk known to all only as Mr. Sly. His deep roots in the black market as well as his great standing with The Flame Dawn have given him unofficial rule over the Port of Nobles, allowing him to destroy his competition with the only thing bigger than his gut: his wallet.

The seas are also home to pirates, who are staging a major rebellion on board their fleet of ships far away from the probing eyes of Genesis's technology and the harshest extent of the Dawn's law. Some shady characters on land and sea act as informants and spies for the pirates, who are slowly seeing the invasion of The Sleepers as their opportunity to strike. The zombies may cover the land, but the seas will always be free. Especially when the leader of the pirates can summon the almighty Leviathan at will. In addition to Leviathan, the depths of the ocean are vastly unexplored and can house some...interesting companions that the pirates have learned to control.

Playstyle:

• Dive ability: Pay x to cause a character in the assault zone to become unblockable but also reduce its attack to 1 (Preemptive, lasts until the end of the turn). Most characters with dive with also have an ability that activates when hitting the opponent's fortress directly such as plunder. Some higher-tier characters can also gain untouchable while diving. Most diving cards usually have low health and average attack, making you choose between diving attacking depending on the situation. They are also vulnerable to removal due to their low health, unless diving also grants them untouchable.
• Caches/Trading: Unique indestructible cache artifacts that have x amount of coins when they enter play. Caches have a maximum amount of coins they can hold, and are removed from the game if the number of coins reaches zero. They are similar to the Mission cards from the star trek expansion: you start each match with it automatically in play in the support zone, and only one can be in a deck at a time. You consume y number of coins to recruit an artifact card that costs y-1 or less into your support zone.
• Artifacts/Uses: Some artifacts have x uses needed to activate their ability. Once there are no uses left, the card is destroyed. Most artifacts gain uses when purchased via the cache, and most low cost artifacts start with 0 uses to prevent other factions from splashing them in to abuse them.
• Pirate Ships: Location cards that require a character card to pilot them.

Name of Faction - The Council of Nine

Theme - A pirate themed faction that uses dieselpunk, jury-rigged clunkers including floating cities, submarines, and battleships and some of the Untamed World's (undoubtedly) huge aqua-fauna to ride the waves of the Untamed World's oceans.

Description -  in search of old ruins and lost technology to keep the flotilla going. They're democratic raiders and plunderers who have a maritime civilization having left the continents long, long ago to the will of the Warpath and the beasts. The Rifts mean the great armadas of the pirates can find new shores in search of crucial plunder.

Playstyle - It uses humans and ships with a scant few large beasts. Ships tend to be hard, humans soft and fragile Main mechanics:

Plunder: As it plays now.

Crewing: Kind of like the Mega Unit Pilot ability but you can stack them on to one ship, or spread them out. If you lose the ship though you lose the crew (though there would be saving cards. Some crewing would be by specific pirate characters (uniques or some mid level pirate subtype cards), but most could be characters of any faction. A few ships would bond with artificials or artifacts too.

Dive: I like the dive ability but it would only effect units with dive for a cost making them untouchable and all without making the whole zone untouchable. Also the damage would be half instead o just one. There would be less dive cards though.


Agent Coyle: Since my faction comes from a world with an Aleta. I'll do an Agent Coyle.

Unlimited - Agent Coyle, Dread Pirate. I'm not sure of HP or Power values, but he'd have some crew options to chose and he doesn't sink with the ship. Pay 11 turn him into  a 20/30 sea dragon with dive not fly.

Yourself as a character -

Name - Inkidu, Master of the Black Market.
Cost - 5 (or so)
Stats -  6/10
Race -  Human, Pirate
Ability - Chose one:
Pay five exhaust: Increase your resources by one for the next three turns.
Pay six exhaust: Decrease your opponent's resources by one for three turns.
Pay two exhaust: Search your deck for target pirate card and put it in your hand.

Picture - I'll let artists decide that.

[vengefulmierothi]

I love this thread and all the great, thoughtful ideas in it. Some of my favorites are the all-dragon faction, the dive/tunneling mechanics, and the themes centered around time manipulation. I almost feel like some of these faction ideas could have their own specific threads for discussion.

Anyway, after throwing around my creative juices for awhile I came up with the following faction. Enjoy!


Name: The Veiled Host

Colors: Black...and more black.

Theme: An army of darkness, with strong ‘battlemages’, and units that get buffed for every unique character in play.

Description: Based on the reigning faction in a fantasy novel I wrote titled ‘Veiled Empire’. They are ruled by the Mierothi, a race of scaled humanoids with unparalleled command over the powers of darkness. Mierothi, and their half-breed Daeloth, lead a force of common soldiers and beasts of pure nightmare.

Playstyle: Flood the combat zone with cheap bodies that can protect your uniques and serve as sacrifice fodder. Many unique characters with multiple abilities, but they can only be activated while in a combat zone. High risk = high reward.

Lore: (ie. how it fits into the infinity wars universe) The Mierothi are ever driven to conquest by their dark god, Ruul. Searching for every advantage, they ceaselessly plumb the depths of the dark energy which binds the universe together. In one of these explorations, they accidently open a rift to Talich. Their grand host immediately begins marching to war…

Slogan: “Others may dabble in darkness, but WE are its true masters.”

Why I think it would be a fun addition to Infinity Wars: I like all the characters with activated abilities, but think Its kind of lame that they mostly just sit in command/support and cast their spells and hardly ever get put in danger. With the characters in The Veiled Host, this faction will introduce a playstyle that rewards players for getting their valuable characters down in the trenches, and provides a few tools for keeping them alive.


Characters:


Veiled Marauder
Type: Unlimited - Human
Rarity: Common
Cost: 1
Morale: 1
Purity: 1
Stats: 3/3
Passive Ability: For every unique character in the combat zone, Veiled Marauder gains +1/+0 while in the assault zone, or +0/+1 while in the defense zone.
Text: “We march to war, and victory!”
Art: Darkly clad soldiers marching in a line with swords and shields.
Explanation: Starts below curve, but can become quite strong once your uniques enter the fray.

Veteran of the Conquest
Type: Human
Rarity: Common
Cost: 2
Morale: 3
Purity: 1
Stats: 5/6
Passive Ability: the first character card played the turn after Veteran of the Conquest is played has its cost reduced by 1 and gains haste.
Text: “Follow me!”
Art: Grizzled veteran soldier charging a hill and waving others to come with him.
Explanation: Helps get more cheap bodies out onto the field.

Passive: Charge

Text: “Kneel before the darkness, or I shall cut you down.”
Art: Warrior in black and red armor with sword in one hand and shooting blasts of dark energy from the other.
Explanation: What? No exhaust? 6 damage for 1 cost? OP much? Not really. This is where the risk/reward factor starts to come into play. The ability can only be cast while in a combat zone making the character vulnerable. And it can only hit the opposing zone and isn’t targetable, limiting the usefulness. This is the bread ‘n butter battlemage of the Veiled Host.

Darkwatch Guard
Type: Human
Rarity: Common
Cost: 3
Morale: 4
Purity: 1
Stats: 6/9
(Sort-of)Passive Ability: If a unique character you control would die, you may choose to sacrifice a Darkwatch Guard instead. This effect may only occur if both characters are in the combat zone.

Ranger
Type: Human
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 3
Morale: 3
Purity: 1
Stats: 6/8
Passive Ability: Reach
Passive Ability: If Ranger is in the support zone during the combat phase, it deals ‘X’ damage to one random character in the opponent’s assault zone, where ‘X’ is equal to the number of Unique characters you control in the combat zone.
Text: “That’s not the wind.”
Art: Bowman firing a volley shot.
Explanation: Both passives give defense against flyers, with the second rewarding you for keeping your uniques in harm’s way.

Elite
Type: Human
Rarity: Uncommon

Text: “You shall pay for this!”
Art: A Mierothi (dark humanoid with scales and claws) surrounded by bodies, lashes out against a fortress with an explosion of dark energy.
Explanation: Direct fortress damage but limited to once per turn and only if something dies. Potent but, unlike Sacullus, the opponent can plan for and work around this effect.

Aleta, the Immortal Conjuror
Type: Unique - Human
Rarity: Rare
Cost:4
Morale:5
Purity: 1
Stats: 6/16
Passive Ability: If Aleta is in the graveyard for 4 consecutive turns, she returns to play.
Active Ability: Pay 2. Create a random spell card from Infinity Wars and place it in your hand. This may only be activated once per turn and only from the combat zone.
Text: “Aleta knows the secrets of all her others selves. And now...the secret is out.”
Art: Aleta darkly dreaming. And, you know, conjuring stuff with her mind.
Explanation: The Veiled Host faction has few innate ability cards. This Aleta can mitigate that somewhat. Like Uncontrolled rift, this can create ANYTHING, regardless of faction or purity. You still have to pay the cost to play the cards, though.

Type: Unique - none (or Reptilian)
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 2

Stats: 2/8

Text: “You’re not allowed to die until I say so.”
Art: Mierothi female, with her bloody hands stuck inside a ‘patient’.
Explanation: Healer to keep your peeps alive. Only heals damage, so it doesn’t actually increase health like Daode or Aleta caretaker.

Jezrid, the Marshall Adjudicator
Type: Unique - none (or Reptilian)
Rarity: Rare
Cost: 4
Morale:8
Purity: 2
Stats: 12/8
Active Ability: Pay 3. Jezrid is removed from the game until the end of the turn. When he returns, kill one random character in your opponent’s support zone or command zone. Can only be activated from the combat zone.
Text: “I am the blade in the darkness.”
Art: Dark Mierothi assassin, appearing out of nowhere to strike down his target.

Text: “In our experiments with dark energy, we have made some delicious discoveries.”
Art: Mierothi male, shooting dark energy from both arms out to altars on either side of him.
Explanation: A different way to use all the cheap humans in the game. Also allows a good case for a Warpath splash with breeders.

Twisted Monstrosity (summoned only)
Type: Human Beast
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 4
Morale: 2
Purity: 2
Stats: 16/16
Passive Ability: Unstoppable. Characters killed by Twisted Monstrosity are removed from the game.

Type: Unique - none (or Reptilian)

Morale: 15
Purity: 3

Text: “It seems my underlings have failed. No matter. I shall deal with you myself.”
Art: Royally dressed Mierothi casually strolling through a field of death and destruction.

Voren, the Prisoner without Chains
Type: Unique - Angel
Rarity: Epic
Cost: 7
Morale:0
Purity: 1 (The Veiled Host) or 1 (Observers of Solace)

Text: “I will pay for my sins, but so too shall you.”
Art: Sad looking angel with long dark hair, siphoning blood.
Explanation: Hard to kill and gives a powerful effect on the active, and becomes this faction’s “dragon” if he manages to kill himself with it.

Morale: 15
Stats: 4/12
Passive Ability: Untouchable, Bloodthirst 4, Multistrike 2

Text: “I was born to punish those who abuse their power.”
Art: Warrior with a double-bladed staff. Spells are aimed at him but fizzle without doing damage, then he cuts down his attackers.

Cost: 5
Morale: 9

Art: Small female Mierothi in a dark, hooded robe. Spell effects swirl around her.
Explanation: A ton of potent abilities with the double drawback of SPECIFIC sacrifice, and that she must be in the combat zone. (sidenote: her third ability is exactly what Wholesale Slaughter SHOULD be). Well worthy of the Legendary slot for the Veiled Host.

Explanation: Expensive but powerful. The anti-Ritual Master. Also, perfectly paired with Vashodia.



Ok. That’s about it. I think this has all the tools a new faction would need, with a unique playstyle that works on its own but also can be mixed with other factions for some interesting combos. I had a lot of fun writing this up, so let me know what you think!

[CommunistMountain]

Kitavijj, the Mother Phyzari
Active Ability: Pay 2. Target character you control in the combat zone is healed of all damage.

There are quite a number of overpowered ideas you have, but this stood out to me as the most overpowered idea you've come up with (and also the one I would bother pointing out).

Not only can it heal a character fully for the low low price of 2 Resources (especially unfair if the character has a high base health), Kitavijj also doesn't Exhaust, meaning that with maximum Resources you can fully recover 5 Characters. And that's not counting additional Resources from other Resource–providing Characters like Wealthy Noble.

Also, 1 Purity makes it easily splashable with other factions which opens up even more possibilities than ever (probably the best combo would be to use it on Agent Coyle, Immovable, which will allow Coyle to soak up immense amounts of damage for an indefinite period of time).

And it costs only 3 Resources!

While you're busy balancing out your faction, why not see my idea (right above your post) about a TF2 faction?

Love the idea of a TF2 faction Seems to be lacking bread though

Kitavijj, the Mother Phyzari

And it costs only 3 Resources!

While you're busy balancing out your faction, why not see my idea (right above your post) about a TF2 faction?

Hey thanks for the feedback!

I agree that there are a lot of "OP" abilities in this faction, but I did my best to try and balance them out. Things like character cost, morale cost, purity, and the combat zone restriction seemed to be enough of a drawback in most cases, but without access to Lightmare's formulas for balancing cards, it's all best guess at this point.

As for Kitavijj, I am comparing her 2nd ability with Tribal Medicine, which heals 10 damage for 1 cost. 90% of the character cards in the game will be fully healed by this. For 2 cost, and the double combat zone restriction, a full heal didn't seem all that OP to me. Especially since if either Kitavijj OR her heal target are stumbled/exhausted/killed then the heal won't go off. And yes, she doesn't exhaust (none of the characters with activated abilities do) but she (and everyone else) are restricted to one ability use per turn.

As for your TF2 faction, here are some random thoughts I had while reading through it:
(Keep in mind, though, that I have never played TF2 so I am unfamiliar with the characters and abilities from that game)

Soldier and Demoman are almost exactly the same character. I would try to come up with something more to differentiate them.

Pyro: I love it! Targeted immolate + bonus damage to immolated targets is a great mechanic.

Conga Line: Hilarious! I can imagine after playing this card, some latin-flavoured music starting, and all the cards shaking back and forth and spinning in a slow circle around the battlefield

Payload Cart: Interesting mechanic. Can be comboed with Sleepers very well. Spawn tokens + exhaust them all + Fear + name your opponent's support zone = win!

Christopher, the Communist Mountain: I see a bit too much room for abuse here. All you gotta do is play Xi, ascended and use her ability and you win the game. This would have to be triple purity at least.

Speaking of purity, you don't have it listed for any of your cards. No morale cost either. Adding these in will give you an additional balancing tool.

Last random thought: You only have one 2-cost character and zero 1-cost characters, making this faction have an extremely weak early game.

[CommunistMountain]

Thanks for your feedback.

Soldier and Demoman are almost exactly the same character. I would try to come up with something more to differentiate them.

They are quite similar in–game. The only differences I could make without deviating from in–game stats were the Soldier's buffing abilities and the Demoman's defensively–oriented Stickybombs.

Speaking of purity, you don't have it listed for any of your cards. No morale cost either. Adding these in will give you an additional balancing tool.

I didn't bother thinking of these stats.
