Legion TD: Reborn
Submit your builder - I need your help!
Heyo!

I've been coding some small bits for Legion TD for a month or so and feel like I want to contribute perhaps where LegionTD is lacking the most: creating new builders.

Unfortunately, I'm not a very imaginative person. That's where you come in! I'd like you to submit your own builder ideas by posting them as discussions on the LegionTD Workshop page with the tile "xbuilder - Builder Suggestion", of course replacing xbuilder with whatever your builder is called.

(Should be mentioned now that you should try to your best extent to keep a reasonable unit balance. There will most likely be balance changes, neither I nor you know what's perfectly balanced, as long as it isn't thought up with the intent of being imbalanced. No 50g 500attack units please :) )
(All non-required fields are marked with "(nr)". If no value is provided for it I will try to come up with a reasonable value myself. Please try to fill out as many of these yourself as you can though.)

What I want to know:

--- Builder ---
  • Name of builder
  • Builder override hero (nr) (Essentially the model, must be a hero)
  • Abilities/Passives that are tied to the builder (nr) (Just their name)
  • Builder concept (What is the general gist of the builder, if there is one? Feel free to add some lore!)

--- Units ---
Create one for each unit!
  • Name of unit, tier and slot ("xunit (3:1) " would be the first tier of unit in the third slot. "xunit2 (3:2)" would be an upgrade to this unit.)
  • Unit gold cost
  • Unit model (nr) (Could be literally any model, from a skeleton in a troll camp to a beaver knight courier)
  • Model attachments (nr) (If model is a hero, wearable items that are ingame. Look at the variations of the windranger model currently ingame.)
  • Unit is ranged or melee
  • Unit Range (nr)
  • Unit Min Damage (nr)
  • Unit Max Damage (nr)
  • Unit LegionTD attack type (nr)
  • Unit LegionTD armor type (nr)
  • Unit Attack Speed (nr)
  • Unit Attack Point (nr)
  • Unit Health (nr)
  • Unit Mana (nr)
  • Unit Armor (nr)
  • Unit Movementspeed (nr)
  • Unit HP Regen (nr)
  • Unit MP Regen (nr)
  • Unit Abilities (nr) (Just their name)
  • Unit description (Where you want this unit to fit in, and what you want it's role to be. Feel free to add some lore!)

--- Abilities ---
Create one for each ability!
  • Name of ability
  • Ability icon (nr)
  • Ability manacost (nr)
  • Ability range (nr)
  • Ability passive/active
  • Ability description (What does the ability do? Try to provide as much relevant information as possible, for example a fire aura would need a damage value per tick, a tick rate, and a range)

If anything is unclear or needs further explanation, dont hesitate to ask in this thread and I will try to edit this post to give as much relevant information as possible, in addition to giving you a response in the comments.

I have no idea how much popularity this will bring. Perhaps nobody will create a suggestion, or perhaps I will get a large amount of suggestions. If the amount of suggestions is more than 1, I will simply try to choose the one I think looks the most interesting, with some respect to my coding abilities as I am in no way a master at neither lua nor Dota 2 modding. Don't let this discourage you from posting your idea even though somebody else has already posted theirs though! If someone else ever wants to create a builder then yours will probably be a very good candidate. Additionally, if I enjoy this I will probably make more builders.

There may be some interest from others also doing work on LegionTD, in which case, feel free to make these ideas come true as well! I'll post on a suggestion if I like it and choose to work on it, the rest are yours :)

Massive thanks for your help! You'll be credited for your ideas. I will most likely add you through steam to discuss things further if I choose to work on your builder.

Lastly, I can't 100% promise you that your builder will be made. There are a ton of things that could make me have to push the project to the side, including loss of interest, lack of ability, or real life things getting in the way. I will try my very best though.

Thanks again!

Hey, i would actually love to try, but can you post a template, ie. the stats of one of the builders? I have no reference point as to how to balance my units. Thanks!

This should do it, hopefully its somewhat understandable (These are just the raw files, so you can ignore the values which don't make sense to you)
