Well, now that I'm more or less done with Chaos (what remains to do is further balancing, scroll tweaks, and original unit/scroll art - all things I'm terrible at), I've considered creating yet another Faction



My reasoning is to fill out an empty slot in the hexagon of resource types I've got imagined up:



Growth - Decay

Order - Chaos

Energy - Tranquility



With Chaos, you got demon-esque stuff, so really the type of creatures that remain to be introduced to Scrolls would be something... water dwelling. The playstyle, and theme, would be the anti-thesis to Energy much like how Chaos is (kinda) the anti-thesis to Order.



So I got a couple of ideas creature-wise and mechanics-wise on how to accomplish that:



Mechanics

Few units like energy, but with greater synergistic functions.

Resource ramp hostile - does better with less resources.

Hostile attack manipulation/Friendly health manipulation - very control heavy deck, rather than removal heavy (but little to no countdown manipulation to avoid stepping on Order's toes).

Heal friendly - Strongly synergistic with Growth



Creature style

Veden



Vedens are merman-esque creatures, and take the role of humans.



humans

Humans are the "fringe" creatures, in the form of 1-2 Pirate-style creatures



Nikwis

A beast sub-type, aquatic beasts



---



Structures would look like reefs, corals, anemonas, but would be artificial in nature. The Vedens are not a nature loving people, but make up yet another xenophobic nation (Vodina) like Order. They have been drawn into conflicts with the Kinfolk as a result of some Tribes' migration into coastal lands, and with the Machine Priests as a result of attempts to extract valuable resources (a type of gem stones, its shards being potent magical catalysts) that can be found in their aquatic territories.



UPDATE!



These is no more tranquility, instead you can consider this a new expansion of Growth with scrolls that follow the Growth philosophy, but with a different setting.
