Coalition of Creeps


Alone, they are easy pickings for the major factions in Azeroth. They have suffered humiliation after humiliation
as their seemingly endless numbers are culled by their so-called "Heroes" and their armies for their experience points.

Prelude Dialogue; as it was written; so it was said:
"Are we not living creatures as they are? Do we hold no value to them?"

"One of them is undead."

"I suppose so. Yet, these years of countless humiliation are enough to break a creep's spirit. For this, I say we have had enough."

"What do you want to do with that?"

"We shall stand together and fight as one. All creeps banding together to rival them, even surpass them."

"--You're joking, right?"

"--I am not."

"Perhaps we can help with that, eh?"

A goblin approached the two with a proposal for an alliance and the rest is history. Thus the Coalition of Creeps is born.

Changelog


To play as the Coalition of Creeps, select the Orc race and select the Coalition of Creeps as your faction of choice.

You start out as a humble ragtag of foragers gathering gold and lumber. Your resources are limited; you cannot produce
food as easily as the major factions can. For that problem, the Goblins have offered to provide valuable education
and expertise in construction and written language, allowing the naturally diplomatic Furbolgs to convene and construct
their own Embassy for the Coalition of Creeps.

After constructing the Embassy, you'll now have the ability to issue diplomatic letters to other creep races, asking
them to formally join the coalition in your battle against your enemies. In order to do that, you'll need to obtain
Diplomatic Points.

The Furbolg Diplomat will speed up the gathering of Diplomatic Points, but your primary way
of gathering Diplomatic Points is to build a lot of Consulates of Azeroth. 4 or 5 of these structures
should be sufficient enough for racking up those Diplomatic Points.

When the Furbolg Diplomat casts his 1st skill on hostile creeps, he converts them to passive creeps
and guides them to the nearest Embassy. However, few but very powerful creeps can muster enough
willpower to resist the offer, but will be rather hesitant about it. You can use that to your advantage to
defeat them instead.

You may notice that you can get food capped rather quickly, which is why you need to expand
as soon as possible. Trying to build multiple monoliths just to provide additional food is a wasteful
endeavor, and a combination of Furbolg Huts and (Low) Embassies of Azerothian Creature should
be more than enough for your production needs.

If you feel like you've accrued enough Diplomatic Points, select any Embassy and write up a letter
(Contact Indigenous Tribes). While preparing your letter, select the race you wish to ally with and
call upon (Currently, there's only one of each tier).

Twisted Meadows - CoCreeps (Map)

I posted this request on another entry as well just now, but:

To make it easier for people in the future to find this when they're searching around for custom factions - would you be able to retitle this to something more explicit, indicating that it's a custom race for the 20th tech tree contest? 🙏 I know I would definitely never search for Twisted Meadows if I'm looking for custom races, and I wouldn't be inclined to click on it in the results even if it came up 😬


EDIT: I guess I jumped the gun 😅. Thank you!

Nice, I like how this one is a coalition of creeps with some interesting "lore" starting point.
  1. Fulbolg Diplomat is almost mandatory, almost, if players want any actual use of their diplomatic resources after they have both alliances acquired
  2. I think there needs better way of conveying that pre-historic alliance yield additional hero options in the altar
  3. Battlecruiser as Kirov? I'M IN! Wondering how big XP it drops if it dies though, but 3k HP with absurd regen rate? X to doubt :D
  4. Thruster is powerful, even with their miss chance, at least at mid to late game research levels.
  5. Given the existence of the diplomacy system, I'd love to see this faction getting expanded to have multiple options in the future after contest ends. It gives me a major coalition vibe which is amazing, and the fact there's only 2 choices right now makes it a bit saddening for me
  6. Basher feels weak for a frontline unit, hard to keep them alive in heavy engagement, even with Elder Shaman rejuvenation
  7. Speaking of Rejuvenation, for less health regeneration, the mana cost is very high at low level, making it not really viable healing option; if not for the fact it might be THE ONLY healing option
  8. Only one element available?
I think that covers my opinions on the entry, I also did a video on it but it will be a while before I can get it up to Youtube
 
Yeah, as of now, this essentially works as one unified faction. I'm hoping to cook up an update that will improve the customization of the army composition, as well as utilize the Diplomatic Point system a lot more than just unlocking sub-factions (and the Furbolg Diplomat's ultimate).

Fun Fact: before release, the Battlecruiser costed about 40 food but would spawn 3 Elder Storm Dragons instead of 2 upon death. If I recall, their level is set to 4 in the world editor (I think I might've forgotten to classify them as mechanical).

I'm looking forward to viewing your playthrough of this faction.
