-Custom Race: The Eternal Dynasty-
This is an undead custom race that was inspired by Tomb kings from WarHammer Fantasy, Age of Mythology and the Protoss from Starcraft. It's almost done but I need help with stress testing for balancing issues. I’ve done some of my own testing but I feel that I'm bias and require other opinions
Made with Reforged: Classic graphics (Can be played with HD Graphics). This is an edit of the melee map Divide and Conquer to include The Eternal Dynasty as a playable race.
To play The Eternal Dynasty, select Undead and click Yes at the start of the map.
Credits will be listed when the race is posted on the map page.
Race Tips and Important Information.
Buildings:
- When first starting the map, order Pyramid to Entomb your gold mine. Gold is passively collected.
- With the exception of the Pyramid and Entombed gold mine, all buildings require blight to build.
- The only buildings that spread blight are newly constructed Pyramids and Spirit Obelisks.
- Buildings are built with orc style of construction.
- When using the Ascend ability with the exception of the pyramid, ascended buildings require blight to descend.
- Entombed gold mines are separate entities from your Pyramids.
- Units are slower than the other Races units.
- Pyramids and Spirit Obelisks have Awakening Aura which increases nearby friendly units' movement speed.
- Living Idols are one of your most vital units as they can switch between auras and can resurrect your dead. When first starting the map it's recommended to activate its Glyphs of Compulsion as its speed bonus stacks with Awakening Aura.
- The Eternal Dynasty lacks instant healing, relying on healing over time.
- The Eternal Dynasty lacks strong air units.
