Is Hyborem playable?

[Xanikk999]

Illians have unique art, I made it. They do not have unique unit so their flavor unit are not visible in the civlopedia in the units screen. If you want to see them you have to go in the civ screen of the civlopedia and click on the UU of the Illians. It's the same way if you want to see flavor units of the Armuties or Bannor (made by Sez). These units do not have unique stats but they have unique art so they do not have unique name and are only visible in the civlopedia this way.

Oh my bad. I didnt see any there that must be why.

Did Basium get a boost to match Hyborem?

Seems a bit unfair that evil civs have an allpowerful Demon on their side, whereas all good civs get is a wimpy little smurf.

Nope, the Infernals definitly have an advantage.

From a game design perspective Hyborems strength is countered by the fact that he won't ever leave the city he is built in (usually the Infernal Capital).

Could someone add Hyborem to the Wiki?


Xannikk I think all civs will be playable in the future but you will have to wait for the appropriate phase releases.

Mercurians and Infernals might not. If the team can figure out a good way to get them to be "like they want them" and still be balanced for play then they will, but I recall Kael saying he wasn't sure if he would be able to manage that, so they might stay unplayable. Time will tell there. Either way I'm sure they will be smashing once they get some tender attention, just like every other race to receive it so far.

Cheers!

Perhaps you might consider enforcing this, then? Say, by making Hyborem immobile?

He is immobile already, unless a player manages to get control of him.

That's not supposed to happen, though.

 

[Endovior]

He's not immobile if you're playing the Infernals!

That's like making Acheron buildable by players, then complaining about it being overpowered.
