Starcraft: War of the Summoners

[Sauam]

I've been working on a custom faction for each of the three Starcraft's race. It just make perfect sense to translate them onto Summoner Wars. This had been some real challenge to me unlike my last custom where I had a friend to help me play test for fun, this time I had to solo the whole thing which slow down the whole process... It been almost a week and I've manage to get down the first two faction, the Terran and the Zerg

Have a look and as always, these are no where close to being final, many adjustment I need to make as I solo-playtesting them more... I am also working on the graphics and polishing it real nice, stay tuned! kekeke

First to be shown is; The Terran. My favorite race to play in the actual Starcraft game. I've always like protection style of play (hence why I liked VG so much) I am trying to get that same feel of building placement going on here as well

Highlight: Terran plays a heavy wall-event game, their bunker and supply depot effectively soak up small amounts of damage but yet you can still counter fire. Due to Command Center's 0 attack value it is essential to lift off and run away when in danger or move in for more wall-defensive game, what CC lacks in attack value comes with it's very useful event Comsat and Nuclear Silo... just like in game, we all know how crazy strong nuclear missile are and it is quite the same here, blasting your opp's side of their formation with constant bombing, fun time!

Highlight: Here is the Zergs, unlike the Terran where their event plays like wall (building), Zerg here their Champion plays like building... Their whole theme is about "growing" as you can see, there is also one important difference with Zerg, they dont have walls! Zero walls! Instead they summon via Larvae and I love this mechanic, it is so different but yet feel just like the actual Starcraft game

There is two style to play Zerg (or even both), you can either grow your Champion into infest Kerrigan and try to win game with her and whatever she gain controls, or play an swarming game with Zerling and grow your Hatchery into a Lair, then a Hive for larger summoning radius and more spawning of Larvae

Protoss: En Taro Adun

[Roufus]

I like the feel of the Terran one (especially the bunker idea), but I think too many 'sits on the board' events would needlessly clutter things.
I would hope the zerg to be a more swarming faction like the CG. Maybe have units that move outside of the normal 3 move rule like goblins or lionesses.
I would like to see what you could come up with the Protoss.

But overall nice.
