OPR, we need a hero. 

Creating our characters is awesome the problem is that it’s a personal thing and that means you and I can each talk about ours but there are none that we and everyone in the hobby community and come together and discuss. We can talk talk about the truck meme and how much I love it and think that is how all Orks should be. We can discuss Gazgull or Dante. We have that common ground on the flip I can tell you about the Kage Ryu faction I had made for OPR and its leader based on and named after Oda Nobonaga. But we can’t discuss it, I can tell you that’s the key difference. In my opinion.

I love this game I do I want it to be the best it can be, and I just am of the opinion that we can’t have the best game ever if we don’t talk about the things the game does wrong while we celebrate the things of the game. My kid played this with me it was awesome. And the guy behind OPR seems like a great assist to the game culture. I want this game to succeed and if you check in later today, we have a video coming up where I try to make a hero that is attachable to lore with the tools that are currently available.

@@DorknessInc. In my "time zone" it will be tomorrow :p Can't wait to watch that, particularly since I never touched the army builder my self. Thank you for what you do for that game Sir

@@geoff8978 thank you for the time you gave us then and we’ll see you tomorrow. You mentioned that you played a bunch what were your favorite armies?

I think that while it is possible to create a unit with extra wounds and attach it to another unit, it still does not quite qualify as a hero in my opinion. In my view, a hero should have a direct impact on the unit they are with and/or the play style of an army. Though we can create powerful characters with different equipment, I believe a hero should be more than that. I previously attempted to create one, untill the friendly folks over at Discord explained to me how the balancing system works in a more coherent way. The builder is fantastic, and I have no complaints about it. However, it is not possible to create heroes like Gazgull or Ahriman. I don't necessarily want to copy Games Workshop, but I want the heroes in an army to make that army feel unique and play differently, even if only slightly.

A hero builder would be awesome. And even minor “buffs” are manageable I think with the rule kit they made. So as long as the same points are weighted like the rest of the forge I would think it should be ok.

Also, those special characters are in the ArmyForge - under Saurians and Duchies of Vinci.

Yes! They announced this at the hang out like 3 days after I got the video up! But it’s such a great thing to see. The guy that dose the hang out, I don’t know his name, but he showed a focus on lore, world building and focusing on being there own thing. It was such a cool thing to hear and I am so hopeful for OPR.

I saw them, the Saurians gecko has a heal ability, not game breaking but a cool thing that he can do. Which is PERFECT and exactly what I meant. Though you can’t make a themed list around him it’s a good compromise.

Thank you for the comment! We would be happy to work with you or you are more than welcome to respond. We are on Facebook and we are on the discord for OPR. Today we have a video to come out where I made “Da Red Fury” and the Birdy Boys as a proof of concept. I dident want to complain and not offer some insight on how this could work.

Weirdly enough i agree with you on most of these points. OPR has a style to it thou, and OPR's future needs to have an identify that is its own and not just using another companies stuff as a base. I believe the OPR guy that dose the live streams and updates(i don't know his name sorry) brought up a point like this with the new Ghoul models and the style of the Undead faction. He mentioned that he/OPR has a vision for what these models and styles should look like. That they dont want to catch up on what other companies are doing but do there own thing. the vampires are based off Romania cultures, the Ghouls have that very OPR look to them. OPR wants us to see a model from them and go "oh that's definitely OPR right there" part of having that identify has to be having a base line lore. The reason its a problem and not just me having a preference is because its something that is keeping OPR's identity as "The model agnostic company" and not helping them get to a place where they are "The game that has its own universe, lore, style AND happens to be model agnostic as a benefit" Also once you bring the "advanced" rules in it is every bit as solid a full game as Warhammer just without some of the unnecessary BS. thank you for the opportunity to further discuss this and taking the time to comment.
