Before we begin, big thanks to Crepuscular Fluffle designer Merlijn Eskens for answering the last column's call for a sheep picture so I had an excuse to use this column's headline. It is very much appreciated. Unfortunately, I have to admit this headline is pure clickbait. As it stands right now, the threat of continued bleatings is an empty one. It has no teeth.

Hey all, I’m back with an important topic for this week’s Video Game Tuesday. It’s all about forums. Forums?: A lot of developers nowadays are forgoing the use of forums and to me that seems to be a really bad thing since it doesn’t encourage community interaction or feedback. Given how many titles ship now with game breaking bugs, that seems to be a really poor way of handling the concerns of players.

But unfortunately, there's still at least 2 weeks worth of stuff to be done, so we're gonna miss the mark a little.

Sure. The way to enforce the feeling that a faction is a real thing is that all units from that faction should feel like there's a common theme among them. I suggest that you establish a "faction ability" (or a pool of faction abilities) that all units from the same faction will share in addition to their "class" ability. This way you can create a handful of abilities that can be reused across many enemies and tie everything together at the same time.
