Does it have to be from like a "original concept" universe, or can it be based on existing strategy game IPs?

What's the "point" used in that context? Like population points? Credit points?

the multiverse traveller point thing is just a value that determines how many multiverse travellers you have recruited that have yet to be deployed yet

>bumping your trash thread full of retards drawing with crayons
Kill yourself, fuckwit. If your thread doesn't get bumps, it's because you never fucking belonged here in the first place. This board is slow as fuck, there's absolutely no excuse for bumping. Everyone has seen your thread and nobody is posting in it so it will die, as it should.

>>1851230
Calm down anon its only a funny thread. Its just hard for people to come up with stuff and draw it and it takes effort so most don’t do it. It will obviously have low answers but it don’t mean this thread is highly unwanted, heck I’d take this over another goy4 mod thread ant day of the week, this is the famous “oc” that all boards stride for that makes them have anything beyond shitposting. The anon posting the tailor shit per example posts some actually funny shit.

Uh, it's actually kinda shit - at least with my current implementation. "Swappers" are in red here.
Was expecting it to be massively overpowered on a melee unit against ranged, turn out it mostly just pull melee guys one by one deeper and deeper into the firing squad - and the ranged sent the other way just get melee'd like they would have been in a normal situation anyway, only 20 meters sooner.
The melee squad literally lose half less soldiers if they *don't* have that ability. Crap, and here I thought that gimmick would make a funny anti-ranged Tier 2 unit.

Non-overcompressed version here: https://files.catbox.moe/9xztuj.webm

For context
>Everyone has the same health/movespeed/vision/dps/etc
>Ranged block each-other LoS (to discourage deathball and favor firing lines).
>Melee deal double damage to ranged
>Melee has 160° cleave

>>1844458
Yeah, maybe it's only good against units you can't realistic reach otherwise, to bypass defense and stuff.
Main problem against non-AoE stuff is that once one Swapper is "in", defenders will shoot only that one (since he is closer) so his pals don't get pulled with him.
Maybe it's fine like that, as a half drawback that pay big in narrow situations.

>>1853159
>these threads have gone from just funny ms paint drawings to people experimenting with trying units created here in actual games (or at least test versions)
i'm impressed

>>1853159
Before they start, only a thin line of blues are able to attack due to LOS. When the swapping starts, the blue surface area which is able to attack actually increases.
>Swappers remove front blues
>Backline blues are now able to attack
>Nearest swappers present a target to backlines blues
>Rinse and repeat
>All blues are now attacking with minimal movement
If anything, the LOS limitation works in favour of blue as it decreases the amount of overkill that happens.

For the swappers, it seems blobbing goes against their favour.
>Lead swapper gets swapped and blue is in front
>Swappers waste precious pathfinding to that singular blue
>Repeat it enough and a congestion happens like in the video

The video confirms that swappers should be treated as a suicide unit. They will get surrounded and die. Maybe a T2 unit that fucks up higher tier units due to positioning.

I am retarded so take everything above with a grain of salt.
Nice demonstration, Anon.

Since this is the unit design thread, how can you tell if a unit has good unit design visually? How about balance-wise/mechanics?

>>1858367
>good unit design visually
Can you recognize it from afar in a pack of different units?
Can you get a vaguely accurate idea of how many there are in a pack?
Does the unit look match what it does?

>How about balance-wise/mechanics?
Outside of actually testing it in its intended environment, hard to make anything but educated guess.
Just ask yourself if the ratio "how much it cost" vs "how much it will destroy on the other side" isn't too far from other units of the same tier.
And also if it has some counterplay that isn't complete cancer to execute.

>>1856616

From my experience bumping a thread 3 times and getting no answer means nobody cares about it. If you bump it once and get a few answers then its legitimate, two is also worth because sometimes people miss a bump specially on fast boards.

>>1859139
hey can you stop giving that /vp/edophile the (You)s he’s shitting up the thread for
would be appreciated

>>1851115
So at any given time, there's only one of this multiverse traveller per faction? Sounds similar to deploying heroes, like a Colonel Burton, yeah
>>1853159
Think if the units are mostly melee, the swapper can be eliminated easily. Would be neat to see them change positions with siege units, like catapults and ballistae. Really, enemies with difficulty turning quickly, or responding to flanking just as quickly
>kunoichi
Either that I've just played only CNC and Fire Emblem, neat to see ninja girls in a RTS setting. Nice.

>>1862961
Theoretically you can have multiple per match if you recruit multiple of them without any showing up, only for multiple multiverse travellers to show up in the same match
And there isn’t a limit to how many you can recruit per match

>>1861065
No I’m using it as an excuse to bump the thread without saying bump and make him extra mad

Nobody saw my mistake earlier.
The scout of the Tailor. The Vitruvian Ragdoll.

Is there any RTS that does scouting/spying like this? Unit pathfinding represented as dotted lines could be an abstraction to written orders.

>>1863846
I know a few that use tracks left behind by the enemies, but that's a first time I see someone use a pathfinding of wher ethe enemy "will" go

Now add facing and rotation speed to the shooters and see if it changes things, especially at lower unit counts
