I'd like to know the current status. Is anybody working on the faction these days/weeks/months?

Thanks

I see. I personally don't think there should be de-infestation in that case. Araja's and ParadiseCity's stats aren't going to be that much impressive. It's the fact that they can morph into something else (presumably from another faction) that makes them awesome; adding de-infestation would be over...

BTW the de-infestation action has to be implemented. Is it going to be? What do you mean? This unit can take up the form of an enemy unit upon giving the killing blow if desired. However, the new 'unit' will only have half the amount of the max hitpoints of the unit it killed and no experience. Inf...

Alien here refers to 'foreigner', not 'strange + otherworldly being'.

I'm not sure you are right in this case, cause he/she IS strange

BTW the de-infestation action has to be implemented. Is it going to be?

small range damage (barking ;-) ) An idea for an AMLA could be to give barking a special, something like slow, maybe? Yes, I 've thought about slow (or stun) special as major AMLA. At the level 0 it should be swarm range attack 1-10. At noon the penalty could make it 0-10 ;-) and at night 2(or more...

I think that before any unit specific AMLA we need to discuss roles of all units in factions. e.g. I prefer claws and fangs instead of impact attack. It also determines possible AMLAs and description, too. My first propose for tapik as a small dog: - chaotic - possible lycantropy (-50%, +100%) - fas...

I think that both kinds are possible. I think that minor AMLAs should be generic and major ones should be unit specific (or faction specific).

- Units go up a level for each Major AMLA they pick; You are right. A minor improvement cannot increase the unit price. If the TWFF is used in a campaign, units at level 15 could come very easy and you will not be able to recall such units because of their per turn price ;-) Tapik's idea of discrim...

just my two cents, but I prefer being able to get them in any order, as I think it would add more variety and personal preference It depends on unit. Each unit could have a background, its own story. And the same could apply to AMLAs. Simple example: swordsman has two AMLAs. "In the darkness i...

Yet another idea about AMLAs. Let's implement the AMLAs as "set of AMLAs possible at the current level of unit": Each advacement means new unit level Each unit level specifies a set of possible AMLAs AMLAs could support levelling, too. As written before, AMLAs (or their levels) could defin...

2) I'd really appreciate having graphical unit trees with some info in them (I volunteer to do the actual trees if you supply me the sprites and info). AFAIK there will be no tree, but simple flat structure. There will be no leveling. 2 b) The general faction flavour: should it be a expensive but p...

As the default, yes. Note other versions can be made in the future.

So I have to say I'm totally confused. Does "unique" AMLA means, that all units will be on the same level?

Another point of view: we could divide members of the forum faction into two parts:

• * content providers - faction of good
  * only players - evil faction

If (I don't know) there are so few players in the WFF, we could raise some more ones

The faction is not ready for l10n. Please add to the .pbl file to let wescamp generate .pot and .po catalog files. Then it will be easier for me to check if the whole faction is translatable.
