My Shower Thoughts about Gems of War

Off Topic
1

Merry holidays everyone! I’ve played this game for several months, and wanna to share some of my shower thoughts about it. Just for fun and wish you all have a great holiday :grin:

  • Infernus is the GoW version of Ragnaros from Blizzard’s Warcraft universe.

  • There are so many powerful and/or controversial weapons named with letter ‘D’: DB (Dawnbringer), DP (Divine Protector), DE (Dragon’s Eyes).

  • Why is Dawnbringer a Sword? Which part of it looks like a sword?

  • We have very similar archetypes like card games: aggro (Empowered + exploders + heavy hitters), combo or OTK (infinite loops), control (freeze, entangle, web themed, etc.).

  • Following the above similarity, The Possessed King’s 3rd trait makes the board change faster thus the loop between two troops (e.g. Giant Spider + Green Seer) become more reliable. So TPK is like card drawing engine in card games.

Not much “shower thoughts”, but thoughts about how troops were greatly designed before:

Deep Borer → Steam Powered (Red/Blue) Destroys a Column (Digs down, there is a way to that could allow it do dig formward destroying a roll) generates Brown Gems (throwing soil all around as it digs.)

Rock Worm: More or less the same as the Deep Borer in many sense, attacks the last enemy because it’s an underground attack.

Treant: Gains attack and armor removing brown gems is literally taking sustenance from the soil, removing the gems is like consuming them and making the battlefield (board) “poor” for a while (until new gems appears for some reason).

These days i believe there are good designs too, but my general feeling about most designs is basically:

Good Troop/Weapon: Explode the whole board twice, tranforms all enemies into baby dragons with 1/4th of their original level, gain barrier, half mana back, drain all the mana from allies and enemies, devour a random enemy, gain half mana back again and an extra turn.

Regular Troop/Weapon: Utter garbage in almost evey sense. 60% chance of having poor or traced artwork. You still need it to advance your kingdom stars.

Bad Troop/Weapon with high rarity: You thought we couldn’t do worse? Hahahaha, jokes on you mate…
