Project: The 13th Element

[moomoose]

i like those, i think we can alter the colors a teensy bit to distinguish from entropy some

If the parent is delayed the spawn deals equal damage. 1 turn delays end at the end of the current turn right?

Turn 1: 1 meme
Turn 2: 1[+1] memes
Turn 3: 1+1[+2] memes
Turn 4: 1+1+2[+4] memes
Turn 5: 1+1+2+4[+8] memes
Turn 6: 1+1+2+4+8[+16] memes
Turn 7: 1+1+2+4+8+16 memes
CC+31AC

This, on the other hand, leaves out the 23-creature limit.  On turn 6, you only have space to add 7 more creatures, which is why the total cost remains at (1xCC + 22xAC).


Also, prototype Meme below.  IDK how to get the Upgraded/Unupgraded thing to work on Pixlr -- still kind of a newb with it -- but I've attached the pixlr file with the Mind Icon and the Mind Card Template included below as well.

its still a whole lot of punch for one single card to start with, i dont know.  perhaps a new passive can be made to have the creature start with 0 atk, gain half of its total attack in the next turn, and then on turn two be at full strength?  that may slow the curve a little bit more, but the full effect will be there down the road?  i can imagine this passive being applied to other cards as well.

nvm, im just having a hard time wrapping my head around the true impact of this card.

also, in addition to hawanja, these artists have given me permission to use their works in the past and would be receptive to using their art if asked politely:
http://cacodaemonia.deviantart.com/

http://biz02.deviantart.com/
http://maglil.deviantart.com/
http://littlemunster.deviantart.com/ -was thinking about using http://littlemunster.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d1r2zmf for psionist

so skim through those if you feel like it

regarding the nymphs design: what i noticed when scanning through my nymph collection- they don't change in color much (at all?) mostly just the background does.  but what i did was combine thalas' and zblader's nymphs to make the nymph a slightly different color and appear more as if it were an apparition/hologram/illusion etc

version 1:

(thought this wasn't subtle enough, so i also made...)

version 2:

(and then added a slight umph to the hair...)

version 3:

[ZephyrPhantom]

Heh moo, you just ninja'd my art suggestion for the nymph. ^^;

I think your version 1 be a little lighter actually and work well:

[moomoose]

so something along these lines?
version 4: next to version 1


version 2 next to version 3

added the others for comparison

[moomoose]

and messing around with mind dragon, not sure if im making it look better or worse to be honest

[ZephyrPhantom]

so something along these lines?
version 4: next to version 1


version 2 next to version 3

added the others for comparison

Yeah. Versions 1 and 4 seem to draw my attention the most though.

Our Meme could be Holy Cow!

I've uploaded a Pixlr template for Mind Cards here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KQPD88WY)  - thanks to SG for the original since I used parts of hers in mine. It might be helpful, and it also contains the other element icons if you need them.

Last but not least, Dementia, version 1 :

^Just a prototype, methinks - it might need some improvement.

Thalas has a great art style that just seems to click with Mind IMO.
I think we should just use those images as is and base the art theme off that color and style scheme.

Any concerns with this version?

[moomoose]

I suppose that seems balanced enough as far as i can tell

i believe the next card mentioned was psionist, the only 'trick' to this card is basically determining how much damage it should do and how much, if any, added cost should be attributed to the attacks as spells, which has an overall benefit, but a severe drawback against reflective shields.
original cost|atk|hp
|3|2
|5|2

I may be inclined to boost the upgraded attack by 1 and maybe reduce its cost by 1

[OldTrees]

I think that Psionist ^ is balanced. The DR specific Momentum is balanced by the Reflect vulnerability.
