For long, magic and tech never got along. They are unstable, experimental, cryptic, uncompatible and spread fear in the minds as they see the twisted dimension of knowledge it implies. Until a rich technocrat decided to found an institute assembling the brightest scientists and mage from all the corner of the world. Little by little, these minds created huge revolution upon civilization. However these birthing innovation stroke angst among countries. At first an attempt to seek a calm dismantlement of the institute was made, but the greed and thirst of power of the entities began to create rivalry between them. The technocrat promptly reaffirmed its independence and created his own country far to the untamable silver mountains called Anorar.
The harsh conditions made progress inevitable, and only the most out-of-the-box minds must bring salvation. The dictat was born as an elective monarchy with no classes and social ranking between the dictator and the rest. Pure skills made all the effort. For years, large advances of technology and magic grew its population and infrastructure, bringing shelter to political dissidents, ruined nobles, betrayed families and exotic figureheads. It's territory colonized the barren lands through a great deal of trains and railway systems. Nobody wanted these frigid lands, until the extended Anorar's prospects figured out how to extract rich minerals from deep down. Oil, silver, gold, iron, copper, tin, precious and semi-precious gems, and an abundance of rare-earth elements which were until now only legends.
Generations go on, a cult of personality incited youngsters to accomplish great deeds to be recognized as such. The pantheon is created. Rich investors and oil magnate joined the dictat by pure interests, giving precious resources to the hungry knowledge engine not stopping for a while. Art and culture flourished, as erratic minds joined together to create heavy mimetic networked communication. We can observe Meme Lords getting along with mad scientists, twisted mages and young warriors.
At last, this rich and eccentric country attracted a lot of plunderers, foreign influence and crusades. That's why the dictat has a strong military tradition of defending their wealth, shock and aw every threat ; sometimes strategically raiding enemy infrastructure to crumble their offensive. But some says that their collective minds fused together may be their downfall once the main nodes shatters...

| 
Silver plate For training, youngsters create small silver elementals. But some of those morons found a way to give it a small autonomous conscience. Nothing too dangerous until they fuse together.

| 
Silgolem At last, the craziness of youngsters have trolled generations through these mighty Golems. Their intellect reaches the wisdom of an elder and the attention of a 4 year old under caffeine. Increased weight implies being grounded, but the power saved from flying grants them high durability and strength. ☼ Tier III ☼ Heavy melee unit ☼ Excellent HP and regen ☼ No armor ☼ Can morph to a static siege building ☼ Heals silver units when dying ☼ Accumulates temporary attack speed bonus when attacked
☼ Have 40% of chances to change target every attack ☼ Moves erratically when idle

☼ Tier III, from tech ☼ Attacks manually the area ☼ Also damages enemy ground units ☼ 20s reload 
☼ Transforms into a Silgolem (see above) |
| 
Hype train Enthusiastic and creative mage-scientists are often found themselves piloting the mighty war trains of the dictat during conflicts. It was invented to quickly support the front lines and logistics. However they tend to barge themselves into battle without warning, due to the high concentration of healing vapors in the cockpit. ☼ Tier II ☼ Fast and heavy support unit ☼ Good armor and HP ☼ Quickly heals allied units but can get them high ☼ Barges automatically in melee ☼ Can temporarily increase movement speed and healing intensity for nearby friendly units ☼ Can quickly and chaotically transport units across the map ☼ Part of received damage will heal by itself Barge in (passive) [To be added] ☼ When seeing an enemy unit, will rush it at full speed ☼ Deals damage on each enemy collision ☼ Cannot be controlled while barging ☼ 30s of reload ☼ Cannot reload if barging or in combat ☼ Will stop to the first building encoutered, dealing more damage to it

Mind node All brains and minds are connected here. Influenced by the constant flux of data, they became an independent entity managing everything related to administration, science, knowledge and database. However they get easily disrupted when damaged, which causes a chain reaction of chaos. To extend the zone of influence, they can do autonomous mitosis like organic cells, during which they become very vulnerable until grown back. ☼ Main building ☼ Each of them count as one Tier of tech (i.e having 3 Mind node or more counts as Tier III) ☼ Generates a field withing 1200 range in which it can act ☼ Gathers, builds, repairs, heals, buffs, and attack ☼ Very effective at each task, but can only do one thing at a time ☼ Pause the player for 10s if destroyed, which can accumulate in a snowball ☼ Gets paused for 10s if attacked ☼ Costs 6 food, but gives 16 ☼ Connects all Mind neuron in its primary field ☼ The whole network is updated everytime a new Mind Neuron is created or destroyed 
☼ Heals 50hp per second to a friendly organic unit in the field 
☼ Same as Warcraft 3, but doesn't cost mana to enable
☼ Have 40% of chances to change target at every attack Trains
|
| 
To extend the Mind network without expensive and risky mitosis, Anorar engineers created these artificial neurons running on oil and magic. Since it's a two way connection, any damage will also affect its main node. ☼ Supply building ☼ Very low HP, but have a mana shield ☼ Extends the range of the closest Mind node, or else branches to the closest Mind neuron ☼ The whole network is updated everytime a new Mind Neuron is created or destroyed ☼ Pause the player for 2s if destroyed ☼ Pause the connected Mind node for 20s if attacked
☼ Same as Warcraft 3, but doesn't cost mana to enable |

☼ Summons and resurects heroes |
| 
Recruits are gathered here so they can learn the basics about warfare. But the volunteers seem quite energetic. Hopefully the concentrators are here to avoid any excess. ☼ Basic tier I barracks Trains

Too much energy can cause severe lack of attention from Anorar’s citizens. That’s why their sane members founded these orders to counterbalance chaos. This is far from perfect, but results showed a good productivity increase without affecting the patient’s personality. ☼ Tech center for Concentrators and buildings ☼ Unlocks Concentrators Researches
|
| 
Core melter Instead of breaking rocks, they prefer digging big holes until they reach the planet’s core. Molten minerals come just at hand to be filtered. Here comes the most refined ores, selected to improve every magic and technological devices. ☼ Tech center for damage, armor and Silgolems ☼ Unlocks Silver plates Researches
|
| Incrementower Since ammo is always limited, these autonomous towers absorb the energy from destroyed elements at each hit. However, to make it work they benefit from the same technology as Mind nodes, so they become a bit clumsy when facing too many ennemies. ☼ Defensive tower ☼ Detects nearby invisible and burrowed ennemies ☼ Starts with low damage and HP ☼ Each attack increases slightly one statistic : attack, attack speed, projectile speed, range, armor and HP ☼ Will prioritize infrequently improved statistics ☼ Each improvements are independant from one tower to another
☼ Have 40% of chances to change target at every attack |
| 
Contains discarded stuff from failed experiments, useful for later. ☼ Buys and sells items |
| 
Laboractory Here are gathered the most resourceful yet unstable scientists and mages from all Anorar. Together they unleash new experiments to fulfil their thirst of fun and mechanical prowess. Once a prototype becomes reliable, it is immediately produced en masse to the enthusiasm of youngsters. ☼ Tier II caster barracks Trains

Pantheon Only the cream of the cream of morons can become super morons. They generated enough damage and revolution to science and magic to enter the mighty pantheon. ☼ Tier III elite barracks Trains

| "Behold the supreme tyrant !" Dictator The might of the dictat is here, in person ! Only it can brawl the shit out of the world so science may progress.

| "A great machine for a great person." Oiligarch What’s liberty of thought without OIL ? The Oiligarch is a specialist of fiscal evasion and prospecting, plus taking its enemies a lot of effort to get rid of it. They joined the Anorar Dictat to invest in better harvesting technologies while providing military support and knowledge sharing. Magic isn’t their thing but they make a good complement to these high potential mages. ☼ Caster ☼ Mix between a rogue and support Tax evasion (auto) ☼ Periodically dodges any attack or spell ☼ Consumes mana at each dodge ☼ Each levels reduces the reload time Oil aura (passive) ☼ Nearby enemies will receive more magic damage ☼ Each level increases the bonus magic damage (10-15-20%) Hound guards ☼ Spawns mechanical bodyguards around the enemy target, and brawls it ☼ The hound guards cannot change target and are destroyed if the target dies or if the target cannot be attacked ☼ The hound guards can be attacked and destroyed ☼ At level 1, there's 3 hound guards with 10dps each ☼ At level 2, there's 4 hound guards with 12dps each, they also get a 2 mana per attack feedback ☼ At level 3, there's 5 hound guards with 14dps each, they also get a 2 mana per attack feedback and a 15% stun chance for 0.5s (0.25s on heroes) Oil derrick (ultimate) ☼ Builds a destructible oil derrick in 10 seconds ☼ Generates 5 gold per second for the player as long as it's alive, for 500 gold max (stays alive even if depleted) ☼ If destroyed, will spill burning oil around, damaging enemies ☼ Can be manually and instantly self destructed ☼ No derrick limit |
| "What a mess... that's why I'm here !" Station master From the depths of grand laboractories, the Station master serves as a coordinator for the multiple railwar networks. However, as expected the bursting mind of hype trains doesn't make the task easy ; that’s why only one of them can know how to handle it. ☼ Offensive caster Spontaneous arrival ☼ Throws a train damaging enemies on a line ☼ Will stop at the first enemy building encountered, dealing heavy bonus damage ☼ Each levels increases range, damage and bonus damage against buildings Overclock ☼ Increases the attack speed of the targeted ally by x4 ☼ Lasts for a duration, or for a limited amount of attacks ☼ Non cumulative, can be dispelled ☼ Each level increases duration and the max amount of attacks Transportation of the future (toggle) ☼ Makes the station master flying, but consumes 5 mana per second ☼ Can still use its spells while in the air ☼ Automatically lands on the ground if out of mana ☼ At level 1, cannot attack ☼ At level 2, can attack ☼ At level 3, can attack and gets a movement speed bonus Frustration catalyst (ultimate) ☼ For each living or dead allies around the Station master, will fire 3 random missiles inflicting 100 max damage each to enemies ☼ One missile every 0.2s ☼ Can be interrupted ☼ Bonus damage against summons |

*/For long, magic and tech never got along. They are unstable, experimental, cryptic, uncompatible and spread fear in the minds as they see the twisted dimension of knowledge it implies. Until a rich technocrat decided to found an institute assembling the brightest scientists and mage from all the corner of the world. Little by little, these minds created huge revolution upon civilization. However these birthing innovation stroke angst among countries. At first an attempt to seek a calm dismantlement of the institute was made, but the greed and thirst of power of the entities began to create rivalry between them. The technocrat promptly reaffirmed its independence and created his own country far to the untamable silver mountains called Anorar.
The harsh conditions made progress inevitable, and only the most out-of-the-box minds must bring salvation. The dictat was born as an elective monarchy with no classes and social ranking between the dictator and the rest. Pure skills made all the effort. For years, large advances of technology and magic grew its population and infrastructure, bringing shelter to political dissidents, ruined nobles, betrayed families and exotic figureheads. It's territory colonized the barren lands through a great deal of trains and railway systems. Nobody wanted these frigid lands, until the extended Anorar's prospects figured out how to extract rich minerals from deep down. Oil, silver, gold, iron, copper, tin, precious and semi-precious gems, and an abundance of rare-earth elements which were until now only legends.
Generations go on, a cult of personality incited youngsters to accomplish great deeds to be recognized as such. The pantheon is created. Rich investors and oil magnate joined the dictat by pure interests, giving precious resources to the hungry knowledge engine not stopping for a while. Art and culture flourished, as erratic minds joined together to create heavy mimetic networked communication. We can observe Meme Lords getting along with mad scientists, twisted mages and young warriors.
At last, this rich and eccentric country attracted a lot of plunderers, foreign influence and crusades. That's why the dictat has a strong military tradition of defending their wealth, shock and aw every threat ; sometimes strategically raiding enemy infrastructure to crumble their offensive. But some says that their collective minds fused together may be their downfall once the main nodes shatters...

☼ To play the custom faction, pick human before the game starts. A dialog will show in the beginning. You can still pick vanilla human. AI won't care and will go vanilla human.
☼ Play with classic graphics only (to avoid desync in multiplayer too) !
☼ If you make a gameplay video of the faction, it is advised to record without the custom music. I'm not perfectly sure of the safety of YT moderation bots.

(legend)
From best to worse
| M&S] When Mythical and Spellbound makes something together on Warcraft 3 |
| S] Great, elegant, extra thicc, easily hooks the mind |
| A] Good. Nothing much to say except nitpick |
| B] Genuinely OK, but can be better in many ways |
| C] Average. Not bad, not good. C- would be "meh" |
| D] Flawed, or insignificant |
| E] Unstable, badly made, or just broken |
| F] Fatal error, ruins the rest |
| Aesthetics A+ (How well the graphics blends with Warcraft 3 while being elegant) Buildings alternates cheat a bit about being in Warcraft 3 graphics, but everything feels coherent. Lots of custom icon which plays with red/blue/purple spectrums ; (most) silver units being actually silverish. Beside the visual bugs of the links, it displays a unique opposite to the other 4 factions. Since it's not custom made nor away from Warcraft 3 It wouldn't break to S. Also some cheap specific models have stiff animations. |
| Fluff S (The epicness, spice, philosophy and background of the faction) Crazy enthusiastic ADHD techno-wizards. It's nailed. Diverse but not scattered. Strong potential but not overpowered. The original story convey implications about how they existed. Everything seems justified. Nothing too fancy, it would gain more interest if the rich resources they got weren't put here for free. It's interesting how their mixed minds grants them huge technological and magical advances but can be dramatically shattered. |
| Feel & juice S- (How fun is it to play the faction, how well the faction gives you positive feedback) Honk honk. Chaotically effective. Messy but justified. Some abilities and effect would benefit from more precise feedback but the rest holds firm the ground. The particular set and graphics helps giving a unique feeling, if the player nailed the strategy of course. But due to it's difficult approach it looses its purity of rank. |
| Strategy and tactic S- (How the mechanics blends together, giving the faction its unique approach) This brilliant, but I like this. "Blending" would be a tad too strong word, however a lot of mechanics works very well together. ADHD is the core of the faction in many many aspects, being their strength yet their downfall. We can say they are balanced : good damage, good defenses, good support ; don't forget they have specific quirks. Silence, anti-silence, boosting attack speed at the cost of more ADHD, morphing units/buildings. On the other hand the faction still lack of details to be 100% complete. It works as it is anyway. |
| Balance B- (How its strengths leave space to the rest, does it blends gameplay-wise together with the other 4 races) Due to the faction complexity, a lot of broken mechanics hurt a lot if exploited. It's sad because the basics are very polished. Barrack and basic support gives a good core which can be customized from other special units. Juggernaut may turn the tide too easily due to its huge splash attack, armor and HP. Hype trains doesn't charge enemies so they are too effective at healing from behind. And that's only for the balance-breaking elements, because others destroys the game literally (aka the Back to business deleting a hero). |
| Content S (Does the faction feels complete compared to its intent and the other races) Juicy 4 heroes, almost all items, each buildings have a use, only few secondary elements missing. I won't be against a new building or unit to get on par with the other factions. |
| Handling & ergonomics B (Does this faction have the proper data shown, how easy is it to understand) That's tough to respond. The faction is supposed to be hard to handle, and it have a lot of UI feedback. Due to the bugs and the lack of tutorial the player dives without much knowledge and will need a lot of games to grasp the basics. Someone not familiar with this kind of gameplay would have given a D. Icons and effects are very well used in each case, but the purple tones makes hard for a beginner to differentiate between these (i.e Boiling heart, Overburst, Overclock, Overloader). |
| Triggers, code, overall polishing A- (Is the map correctly coded, no leaks, have efficient algorithm, are details taken care of) Complex map, hard to maintain, hashtables leaks, however nothing too bad in this aspect. Triggers are quite straightforward in term of efficiency, it could be way better but the time wouldn't allow it. Some bugs are yet to be fixed. It will be hard to reach A or even S- when fixed. Also GUI isn't very efficient. I could put a B+ due to the huge content working and the clever use of dummy, but it's too big to left it here. So that's a downgraded A- instead. However on the good side units data are almost properly taken care of, since there's few here and here discrepancy in tooltips. |
| Contest rules S+ (Only relevant in a Tech tree contest) Everything in order, rich, beefy, and very original. Even if the philosophy isn't too far from MtG lore it's very effective and have a neat execution. |
| Overall tier S- Beside the technical-only flaws, the faction is a genuinely beautiful mess of creativity. The learning step is quite high but gives the right execution from the right intent. Once everything tested and fixed later, it would deserve a solid S. Of course that would need a lot of work for these few bonus score. The faction is good as it is contest-speaking. Maybe was it a bit too big to chew ? |
| Personal taste A+ (No impact on the rest of the notation, just by curiosity) I like my faction, but I was disgusted as it became. Many bugs and flaws, not finished in few aspects. It's complete enough on design overall. |

Btw just some bugs to point out:
1. Mind Node (Main Building) cost 5 food despite no indication of being so
2. Juggernaut does not replenish mana even in the Mind Node aura
3. If the 2nd or 3rd Mind Node gets destroyed, you lose the tech tree instantly for Tier 2 or 3. This occurs even when I have 4 or 5 Mind Nodes on the map before 2 of these Mind Node get destroyed.
Some improvements:
1. Middle left building selection should be for food, this is a trend seen in other races and makes it easier to know. I was building multiple Mind Node until I realise the food building was the top left one.
Overall good work, I like the gameplay, was playing one with 6 Scientists, 3 Juggernauts, 2 Hype Trains, 2 Concentrators and Station Master.

1) It's 6 actually. And my bad from not writing that somewhere.
2) Well, I just found out it works around Mind nodes but not their Mind neurons. I'll fix it.
3) Strange, again. I just verified and you are right. I'll fix it too.
1) Well, there were an empty spot at the Main building, so I put the supply here to fill it up. The hotkeys are same as humans.
Thanks for your precious feedback. More it gets hurt better the map will become !

First, of all, I am not a big fan of the 1.32 patch. I'd stay away as much as I could.
Now, with that out of the way:
Now, with that out of the way:
- I had to restart like 3-4 times to even get the basics of this faction right. It is not clear enough that even accidental opening the building tab = stopping construction, or the fact Mind Node is tied to 1 action at a time. I didn't figure out a way to continue a halted construction. This alone really ruins most of the faction's enjoyment that I almost stopped there. If there's any way to continue them, it's not that noticeable at least for me.
- The Hype Train's Hop In aura has a green icon.
- The whole Mind Node requirement is still bugged in version 0.6. Good thing I got sufficient excess of those.
- Buy a Life is bugged. My hero got killed twice (the first one proc the Buy a Life, but the hero is revived at the spot when I have an Altar) and suddenly permanently removed from the game. So I got to fight a 3 heroes Undead foe with 2 heroes.
- Dunno what's up with the train ability, you know which one, honk honk, and I noticed it's a bit hit and miss.
- Can Attention Deficit auto-cast YOLO?
- I failed to notice at first that any attack will disrupt Mind Node for a few seconds. It clicks after I lost one Node and almost lost another.
- I have to applaud the effort on the sounds and incorporating UI elements to support the faction further.
- The concept is good, and it's a fun faction (after you escape the hellish early game navigation).

This is from Warcraft 3. Ordering a unit to open a build list stops its action.
Select the build list, escape, right click once or twice on the building to resume.
In the heat of tests I forgot to hide it through triggers, or the triggers won't hide it for some reasons.
The bug reported earlier was too late. Not surprising I haven't fixed it in time.
Oh dayum that's a game breaking bug. I'm sorry to hear that.
No. It activates automaticaly when dead. Only the Experimentor can auto-cast when not concentrated.
In the quest logs it was written.
There were videos which shows the build order. Also in handling our factions are complete opposites xD
My faction is a hell to debug. There's so many details it makes hard to maintain. If I had 1-2 more weeks I would have a better polished work. Anyway that's the game.

Yes, I read that. So, in my case, it works like this:
- First death: revive again, but at the spot he was killed, not the altar.
- Second death: the hero got moved into the altar, then it suddenly remove itself from the game. In addition, all items are dropped.
chuckles I take myself to blame for that mess.
I think it's more of trying to make complex ideas within a limited time span. There's a reason why I scrap a major feature in Phoenix Flames when accounting deadline into calculation even at the risk of losing a lot of potential points (my first post, not WIP, in TC#18 thread hints another major feature for the faction)

My bad. I misunderstood your feedback here.
The damage is 150 AoE and its hitbox against buildings is the train location point. If it crosses a building collision size it collides.
From my perspective it was withing my reach. But I had 2-3 less weeks to spend on it due to personal stuff. Here 99% of the map is made, and the 1% broke some things hurr durr. You allowed less time for yours, maybe people say I "try-hard" too much but hey IT'S A CONTEST GUYS SHOW THE BEST YOU HAVE OK ?!

So, in your changelog, there are two updates before the contest deadline, but the second update doesn't have a link. Did you fail to update it for the second time before the deadline?
Additionally, are you submitting the version with the music or without the music to be judged?

In the changelogs I only put the older versions (0.4 and 0.5). The current version (0.6) is directly in the page as the map resource. So I don't pile up too many versions in the main page. They are of course all pre-deadline.
Well, music is optional and only here for people who plays with music (since other races have their OST). For the sake of judgement I would recommend the music version, but if you really never play with music or hate playing Wc3 with music you can do without it.

I see, but it says it was updated on Jan the 30th, which is 4 days past the deadline, so I can't actually use that version.
It's not up to me, it's up to you to determine which version you want to submit for judging

The page has been updated the 30th, but you can see that the 0.6 files are from the 26th.
In that case, I pick with music !

The deadline was the 26th GMT, and you're maybe from US timezone.

I'm GMT+4, but assuming these dates change depending on the user's timezones, then I'll assume this still counts as before the deadline. If I was from US timezone this should actually still say 26 or even 25 for me, if I'm understanding this right.

I was prudent to upload the last version before the Deadline. I'm from GMT+1 so mine was the 27th at 1am. It was around 10-11pm when I updated the map on the page, which is 9-10pm GMT.

- Cancelling a build order eliminates all abilities aside repair. This can be fixed however if you select another unit separately and reselect the Mind Node.
- Buildings stop constructing if the node is put to do something else while they are being built. Should use the undead building ability instead or make a trigger that checks on the construction status in relation to the constructing node's alive status. Or casting Repair should continue the construction process.
- Hop In Aura looks like a green square. Also, not sure if Hop In's cooldown isn't too fast.
- You Only Live Once can be activated on allied/own player units.
- I'm not sure what turrets the Elder makes as the unit has no abilities for that that the Juggernaut can use with its spell.
Generally, an innovative idea but it feels a bit chaotic and there might be a bit too much click around intensive play until you get enough Mind Nodes to do stuff on their own.
Also please check the issues reported by the judges and consider their feedback when updating: [TC18] - Techtree Contest #18 - Results
Approved.
