There are currently no low-defense/high-damage (effective if acyclic or short-cycle – basically an RPG wizard or sorcerer-type), mid-defense/mid-damage (true balanced clbum), or a high-defense/mid-damage long cycle (strategist-type). I see room for three more clbumes.

The camwhore is wizard-like, but ranks as mid-damage because of the scale setters. Emokids can put out up to 2x their normal damage once they get their ego down low, and hackers get the best stat boosting equipment in the game.

Camwhores can’t beat either in raw damage, but they theoretically make up for that in two ways:

1: Camwhores have zero prep time for achieving maximum damage per round.

2: Camwhores can (theoretically) constantly hit a thread for high damage.

Of course, with the clbumes broken as all hell none of this holds true anymore. Currently the troll is high damage/high defense, the camwhore is low defense/low damage, the emokid and hacker are mid defense/mid damage.

The current clbumes need to be rebalanced before any new clbumes are introduced.

And, BTW, kudos for actually thinking game mechanics in the first place.

Thanks!
