bringing back the global snow spell thread

[calisk]

before forums got wiped their was a thread i made about a rune design.

and here it is again.

25 nora
all tiles become non impeeding snow, all water tiles become non impeeding ice. This will activate at the end of your opponents next turn.

the idea of this rune is not to be an offensive weapon, as it would fail pretty badly, but a support rune for the snow theme in st, and to help out the hidden:snow mechanic as well as other snow based runes.

thank you for the post to the link

old post:

to support a snow theme, i think their should be a global snow effect spell like this.

25 nora- all tiles become non-impeeding snow, and all water tiles become non impedding ice. this spell will take effect at the end of your opponents next turn.and will last for 4 turns.

it doesn't slow opponents down, it doesn't cause stat debuffs, and the best you can hope for is to remove opponents terrain spells, but if you use a snow based deck with hidden champs and stuff liek taht this would be very useful.

This is the thread link. If you want to cut/edit/paste it, the old forums won't be available much longer, so do it soon.

While I think something along these lines would be neat, a duration is going to be required on it, even if a long one.

While making snow on ground has no negative effect on the opponent, it would allow an even speed bg, saving 4/5 nora on all your champs, as well as enabling various abilities like tunnel, hidden, etc. Apart from that, it suddenly makes maps like the FS map totally different, filling in all the water, as well as owning the pants off any current anti-terrain spells. :P

Personally I'd prefer a cheap, reasonably large AoE, non-impeding snow spell, with a duration just long enough to be chainable. Something like 25 nora for 3 rounds of AoE 5 non-impeding snow. Would still enable a lot of the same things as the global version, as well as being awesome anti-terrain, but not quite as ultimate.

Call it Arctic Dusting. :P

well if i was to do an aoe form, of this it would be a bit different.

30 nora

aoe 6- all tiles turn to non impeedings snow and all water becomes non impeeding ice. all arctic champs gain an additional +1 ap while occupying this snow. This snow lasts for 4 turns.

but that's only because once i make it an aoe, I would probably prefer to pay the extra 1 or so and just run a snow storm for the impeeding. A global version wouldn't be held back or need to be compared to snow storm.

also the global version only lasts 4 turns as well, and if the player wishes to keep the field covered in snow they will to benefit their units it will cost them quite a bit of nora by the end of the game(25 nora every 4 turns) and the part where it activates at the end of your opponents turn, means they time to prepare, and it won't work incredibly well as a anti terrain spell.

anyway i don't really mind either way, i just think the st snow theme needs a little love.

also love the name ^^
