Presentation of the Grey College

So... we asked you to guess which teams would join Dungeonbowl in the upcoming DLC, here are the Grey Shadows sponsored by the Grey College !

The Grey College

Leitmotiv: “Selfish, but ready to play!”

Team: Grey Shadows

Team composition:
Main Race : Chaos (0-16)
Other Race : Humans (0-6)
Last Race : Ogres (0-2)

The Grey Wizards are used to sponsor teams with unusual rosters. For example, their main team, the Grey Shadows, have some team-play issues between their Chaos and Human players. When a game goes bad for them, each player plays very selfishly, and, despite that, they have been successful.

This is going to be a very bashy team - should balance out the two dwarf heavy teams well (nothing like a little claw/MB/PO to take out those pesky deathrollers ).

Dungeonbowl does make wild animal a much less crippling nega-trait since you keep your tackle zones. I can see a SF, tents mino being really nasty in the game as it is a great way to stop even leaping elves.

Minos will also have a shot at being one of the few players who can take down a deathroller as they just need 1 assist to get a 1D when blitzing. With the addition of claw they have a shot at taking the blasted thing out or juggernaut to at least move it.

Ok we got these two new teams...but when will they be available?

Jolly Roger has announced (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=581&start=20) that they'll be coming out on Thursday 19th.

As noted in the poll thread, Chaos is not supposed to be the primary race for the Grey College. Why was this change allowed when (supposedly) no others were?

It would appear that Cyanide has more room for manoeuvre when it comes to the College rosters (that is, stuff which Games Workshop hasn't updated in an official capacity for ages) than with the BB rosters which the College rosters are based on (thus, the alleged inability to remove that pesky Deathroller from the *Dorf* roster).

Yes, you're supposed to find the above convincing

Anyway, having Chaos as the main race of the Grey College is hardly what I'd call a capital offence. Turning Humans into the main race of the Bright College was a good decision IMO (Dorfs would be too prevalent otherwise), and this makes the changes in the Grey roster somewhat understandable (if Humans were the main race of two out of five available Colleges things would again look quite same-y).

As Brihaspati said, the only changes we made for now on the rosters are just really minors (we switch the main and secondary teams in two Colleges).

Deeper modifications like changing a roster by removing a player or using a brand new race is a little more complicated. But we are working on the issues you feed back to use to try and balance the game at best.

changing the main race isnt that minor as it can change how the whole team plays.
and if you cant change players abilities or what they do what is the point of trolls in the Jade college team? if they have loner (which by your own statements you cant change) then there is no point in them as goblins can take 2 trolls anyway, orcs can take 1 and you are only allowed 2 players with loner.

But we are working on the issues you feed back to use to try and balance the game at best.

Thank you very much for your response! It's very good to hear that you are listening to our voices and acting on the issues we have raised!
