Apocalypse New York

[KingArthur]

Different kinds - up to you, of course, depending on how you want to implement mutants. I just like the idea of having green-skinned mutants running around on the surface, rat-like mutants popping up out of the sewers, great big ogre-like mutants rampaging in from the wilderness outside, flying harpy-like mutants swooping down on people (stop me if this gets too Judge Dredd). The sky's the limit. You could have different mutant civs or just one very varied mutant civ - depends on how you want to do it, and how much you think the scenario should be "about" mutants or whether they should just be a fairly small element of it. But I think they would be fun!

They were planned to have equal billing with the other 4 factions. I may follow Stormrage's suggestion of surface and underground mutants though.

I have background stories worked out for the other factions so the deciding factor on their inclusion will be based on fitting them into to the overall picture.

I guess the underground mutants will be more low tech (possibly they have a non-human origin, unlike the surface mutants). I imagine they would employ a variety of special units utilising the pyrotechnic properties of sewer gas. The bilge rat (transport) is a definite unit for them. Their foot units could be cheap but have a variety of special features such as ZOC & paradrop to make up for their lack of motor vehicles.

I like these ideas!

 

[7ronin]

Very inventive. It looks like you're on your way to another winner!

 

[Virote_Considon]

Oh! I like and second the suggestions for a London version!

Can't wait to play. One thing though, in real life, Manhatten faces the opposite direction. (But don't change it)

Ok, I won't

I wish I had an update for you but I'm too busy finishing off an update to my zombie scenario.

May be a bit late and all, but looks fun, I'll try it soon.
Kind of sadened that my neighborhood didn't make it. Mill Basin (or Bergen Beach) just a little farther down from Marine Park. Where the mall is. (Kings Plaza Mall.) I'm sure you know, you seem like a New York native.

Those are good names. May I use them? I could make them Barbs. Barbs are Street Gangs in my scenario. Currently I stole my barb names from the Gang's of New York Film: 19th Street Gang; 40 Thieves; Boodle Gang; Bowery Boys; Charlton Street Gang; Cherry Hill Gang; Chichesters; Crazy Butch Gang
Daybreak Boys; Dead Rabbits; Dutch Mob; Five Points; Gas House Gang; Gopher Gang; Grady Gang; Hartley Mob; Hell's Kitchen Gang; Herbert Asbury;
Honeymoon Gang; Hook Gang; Hudson Dusters; Kerryonians; Lenox Avenue Gang; Molasses Gang; Plug Uglies; Roach Guards; Shirt Tails; Slaughter House Gang; Slobbery Jim; Swamp Angels; Tenth Avenue Gang; Tub of Blood Bunch; Westies; Whyos; Yonkers; Cherokee; Mohicans; NY Giants

Hey,

Man you need to use the names from movie The Warriors. "The Riffs", Cyris's boys with Hockey sticks. "NY Furies", be cool to have a baseball suited unit. "A.C. Turnballs", Baldheaded gang on the bus. And the 1950's style black leathered jacket wearing villians "The Rogues".

Not too late at all as I'm still working on this. I'll put in your neighborhood in no problem.

I'm no NY native, in fact I'm from Scotland and haven't even visited New York. Maybe I should make an Apocalypse Aberdeen or Apocalypse Glasgow

You're right, those names are pretty cool so I will shamelessly rip them off too

Na, the Zombies would just shamble to the nearest pub.

 

[KingArthur]

Ok, I have 2 eras worked out with improvements, units and wonders all placed.
ERA1: Aftermath.
ERA2: Helping Build A Better Tomorrow.

 

[KingArthur]

Ok, all the unit lines have been worked out now.

 

[Plotinus]

It all looks great fun. It should be even more fun sifting through the units collection to see what can be found for the missing slots. Presumably you can be flexible here - I mean, the Underground Mutants' vehicle units probably don't really need to be vehicles - some big monster-type things might fill the place just as well.

I deleted the empty posts to clean things up a bit.

 

[KingArthur]

Thanks for the housekeeping Plotinus.

I've worked out all the unit lines now and updated the previous post.

Your'e dead right about using a monster to fill a vehicle slot. For now I've not given them a "Vehicle 2" type unit and made their units that bit cheaper too compensate. I have a feeling that they might just miss a 20/10/4 unit too much. Any ideas for a monster with those stats (equivalent to a tank) that fits the underground mutant theme?

 

[Spacer One]

The troll...big ugly and prolly as tough as a tank

Great Unclean One? You know, sewers and all.. It`s aaglo`s unit too

I second the Great Unclean One. Or you could use one of those LOTR's trolls that came with the WH mod.

By the way, KingArthur, this mod looks, and sounds, excellent.

 

[KingArthur]

Or even aaglo's Fen Beast as a Sewer Monster. Now i've got lots of options - thanks guys.
