>>2761465I honestly can't see it working. While I like the idea of a superior technological ancient civilization buried underneath fantasy concept; Forge was just a bit too rough for my tastes. It was intended to be an evil-aligned faction, and it looked like utter trash with all the Gyger-esque body mods that in reality would probably just result in ugly recolors. Honestly, the concept art released is hardly any better, if at all, than Conflux. Plus, what would be its gameplay niche? Hard hitting low numbers expensive as fuck units? Isn't that kinda Warlock/Wizard's territory already?
If Forge is to happen, it needs to be sleek and cool. Something like Allagan Empire from FFXIV, or at the very least more like hi-tech stuff from MM3-7.
As it stands, I don't mind that it never happened and the concept needed more polish if it was to be a good playable faction.
