weekly talk 224

Hoy Yes we're still sunday and i release the weekly talk of this coming week now, What happens?
Well wanted to drop it now X)

Workflow change:

Hoy, so let's start with the last week, i worked on several big piece and started a few more, so, yeah not a lot of released piece, but, well, quality over quantity for once X)
That say made the decision to change  a bit the way i worked recently.  Because of two issues.
The first was when i picked days to work on comm or patreon, i had started with alternating them with the idea that ll provide more updates more often for patreon reward or monthly sketches and the comm wips at the same time, but it's kinda stupid, make me stop workin on a thing for 3 or 4 days suddenly, so.. a bit dumb.
So now i'll do half the week comm, half the week patreon stuff, and sunday as release day (next sunday, i took my day off yesterday)
Second thing, i used to kinda give me "me time" out of patreon and comm, a bit like if my personal stuff had to be done out of work hours, and then it hit me...
i'm dumb
Several of you follow me for my goblins, or my oc stuff, so... telling myself it's only for me and not related for the patreon was kinda.. stupid, it's still content, even if i do this to please me. So starting now i'll just count it in the patreon things.
Don't mean i'll do only that, but when on patreon day, if i got a good idea, i'll draw it, and not despair that it's not the time for it X)

Actual workflow:
THAT SAY
Monday to wednesday : Commission work, got 3 left in total, started all 3. One char design and char sheet out of two, and the LoL comics page. Got also a character adoption, got to finish the character sheet for officialize it!
Thursday to Saturday:  Patreon work:  ll work on the monthly with sister Cornelia and a goblin pic i want for a while. Might start the Elite sketches in between.

Voila! it's all for that!

Chaos Dwarf:

Took the saturday to play the chaos dwarf in total war and... it's kinda pleasant. It's a whole different system of gameplay, but, not a bad one.
To resume, in the game you use gold to buy things, and you have to manage growth of population (simulated by a number going from 0 to 5) to be allowed to grow your city bigger, unlock new building etc etc. Like you want to make your lvl1 city a lvl2, you need one pop point. From lvl 2 to 3 you need 2 point etcetc.
More or less all faction use this system, exept the chaos dwarf.
In the lore, they're one of the fewest members race. They' re in only one region of the world and manage to survive only because they got BIG FAT guns and artillery, CENTURIES in advance. Basicly everyone is at renaissance or middle age tech lvl, they're at  industrial revolution one.
So to represent this, they don't  got a pop system.
What they got is, they can settle a place or as a tower (a capital city, rare and for military building) a mine (to dig raw materials) or a factory (to process said material into weapons or wealth (gold)
You pay for mine buildings with golds. You need "Involuntary interns"to go into the mine and collect raw material. You gather  thoses among the survivors of your opponents armies, or buy to "manpower" faction like the dark elves,
Raw material is needed to buy factories building, even next level of the settlement, and to raise the towers too.
The base military building for base units are paid in gold, but all the rest are unlocked using weapons.
You also use weapons to unlock slots of chaos dwarf units. YOu got as much orc slaves (aka meat shield) or Hobgoblin (aka meatshields with actual shields) but those are shity, so you need to gather weapons to unlock new units for your armies.
So they got a whole economy system. You spend time trying to make it work, gathering ressources and collecting "interns"
It's.. somehow quite equilibrate to play. The chaos dwarf units are stupidly powerfull. Like "my artillery is WW1 level and i'm firing at 13°century troops with it kind of powerfull
But those units are extremely difficult to get , and once you reach the appropriate level to get those easy, they cost a LOT to upkeep. 2 Mortar are as expensive as 16 hobgoblin units. They do the job, but damn you can't have 50 of those. So it makes for or a big army OP af, or lot of armies more equilibrate in the stuff inside.
AND they're STUPIDLY evil. Like "i torture prisoners to ear them cry because it make me laugh" evil.
remember Lotr when Sarouman is like "burn all the threes, make a 100%industry nation, polute everything. That's the Chaos Dwarf and it's kinda fun to do tbh
Last point, they seems to speak a sort of ghiberish language made for the game, supposed  to be called "zarralid" and is a sort of mordor dwarf like talk.
I only talk of this cause often when you click a lord or give an order they ll answer "Minou!" wich seems to say "ok" or "i'll do it" but.. well...i know you get why it crack me a smile!

That's about it, sorry for the big one about the dwarf  =D
thanks you for readin this far and c ya soon!
