Warrior General Games

It's been awhile since anything new or of interest has been added into the game. In the interest of shaking things up and adding to diversity of players, I propose we add some more +% AEQ pieces. I feel that the more viable options we have, the more build diversity will result. Anywho, here are my ideas.


+% Tackle Radius- improves your maximum tackling radius by x%

+% Catch Radius- improves the radius before you have to initiate a diving catch attempt by x% (Works on INTs too)

+% PD Radius- Improves the distance away a defensive player can be and still attempt a PD roll by x%.

+% Morale Reduction- Increases the effectiveness of morale reducing abilities by x%

+% Vision Reduction- Increase the effectiveness of vision reducing abilities by x% (Smooth Operator, Awe Inspiring, Underdog)

+% Energy Reduction- Increase the effectiveness of energy reducing abilities by x% (Hands, Punishing Runner, DVG, Helmet Crash, etc)

+% Pancake Chance- Increase the chance of pancaking a defender by x% (Works on revcakes too)

+% Morale Buff- Increases the effectiveness of the morale buffing effects by x% (General SAs, Fire Up, etc.)

Thoughts? Ideas for other +% pieces? Think I'm an idiot?

The Morale Pieces might be something to look into Bro.

I like it.

I like the 3 radius pieces, as well as the pancake piece. the others are ones I don't think anybody would really use.

However, I'm pretty sure changes to AEQ was listed as NGTH.

I think some of those would really mess up the sim, tbh.

^ The radius pieces imo.
I really like the other non radius pieces though.

Anything done to the game is on the NGTH list, so stop with that crap already.

NGTH doesn't say anything about AEQ except that there can't be resets.

OP has some interesting ideas. would be great to have a ton more options to limit cookie-cutters

some could might mess up the sim as Dub and others mention, so bad news is these would need a lot more testing than GLB is probably going to do at this time.

feeling more and more like one of the new WG games is going be a new/different American Football game--nothing else really explains their lack of cares for the current GLB

Like the idea.

Would need to be tied to an improved (position and/or archetype specific) AEQ shopping logic to get +1. I like shopping more then building aeq pieces (maybe the little taste of "gambling"?), and that experience is already frustrating enough without adding a bunch more stuff I could roll that has absolutely nothing to do with the dot doing the shopping.

A lot more responses than I figured. Most of my suggestions get one or two then drop like rocks. Anywho, to address concerns.

The radius pieces. Let's say that current radius is 3 yards. a +30% to that would only net you a +1 yard radius, at the expense of how many other valuable EQ pieces, same for catching/PDs.

The Pancake chance would require balancing, but it would force a choice between hold block, pancake chance, or a mix. The longer you hold your block, the more shots you have at pancaking, but you'd have a lower chance, or vice versa.

The morale stuff might just make a morale killing defense or offense a viable strategy as well.



I'd love to get mod or admin feedback on this one...

There are a couple more that I would like to see -

+% Punt Distance

+% Punt Accuracy

+% Kick Distance

+% Kick Accuracy

+% Reverse Pancake Chance

Yeah, but you don't really understand "gambling" when you say that you "like it" but don't like losing. If the losing is eliminated (or reduced to the point of not posing the risk to ruining the build), then its not really gambling.

That is almost my thought exactly

Just what my eHB needs...some pass deflection radius % pieces to show up in the store along side the force fumble % pieces and the Big Boot SA's

Yeah, there needs to be more AEQ, but:

1) Bort would need to purge the AEQ store of some items to make room for these new ones (the last SAs that were added (Hurdle, Disguise Blitz, etc.) never made it into the AEQ store)... if they never made it into the store, it would make the 5% piece pretty unaffordable;
2) There would need to be a lot of testing before they rolled them out.

I'm in favour of adding MORE to the game. More build options means more creative builds that can be exploited by clever coordinators, which I am in favour of.

I would also love to see a rollout of new VAs and repair of the existing VAs that are currently useless (Big Heart and Clever Instincts for instance).

These would require a decrease in the distance/accuracy without them, but would definitely add more interesting dynamics to the K/P game. I'd go as far to change Kick Distance and Kick Accuracy to Kickoff Distance/Accuracy and FG Distance/Accuracy.
