How would that work?

An airfield works like a city with an Airport.

And a Goody hut just gives you stuff and disappears...

 

[Fëanor]

well i though that caves ruins of the creators race (dunno their name)with some lost technology , but i dont remember thats whi i though of goody huts , and i thoug of airfields becouse you used to come out in a different part of halo after u went in.

 

[Sir John]

well youre both wrong... hehe..

the reason I wanted a cave entrance; was because I also wanted a cave terrain.. there are a lot of caves in Halo and I wanted them to be there.. Im not completetly sure on how to do this yet, but I have some ideas:
A cave terrain inside, and the whole cave is surronded by "impassable" mountains (I have no idea how to do that..)
This would also be bad for a generated terreain..
Its to bad that you can "swithc" map when going to caves..

Although if this idea shows itself undoable; the ideas that you guys had were pretty good..

You can't switch maps...

And you can set terrain to impassable by Wheeled units in the PTW editor.

I have some ideas about the first tech each race begins with and other things:

UNSC(humans):

Units:
ATV (offensive)
Marine (defensive)
Worker
Settler

Buildings:
Research lab (same effect as library)
Military Camp (same effect as barracs)
Food storage center (same effect as granary)
Command Central or The pillar of Autumn (same effect as palace)

Government: Federation

Resource: Energy\Radiation resource??

The Covenants:

Units:
Ghost (offensive)
Grunt (defensive)
Settler
Worker

Buildings:
Research center (same effect as library)
Fanatics center (same effect as barracs)
Nutrience center (same effect as granary)
Temple or Holy ground (same effect as Palace)

Governemnt: Religious Cooperation

Resource: Plasma

Caretakers:

Governemnt: Super Computer Regime or Super Computer Dictatorship...

More coming...

I have some ideas for some wonders to:

UNSC: The ruins of the SPARTAN project
Covenants: Underground cave\ The Truth and Reconsiliation
Caretakers: The Library

Please ask, comment and suggest difrent names and so on... I want YOUR ideas...

[Sir John]

An update on the Caretakers standard tech...

Main Server (same effect as palace)

Resource: Information Resource



BTW, when I am talking about the resources and making one resorce for one civ, the I dont mean that the other civs wont get that resource.. I just mean that they will get it later in the game then the civ that has it from the start...

Sir John, how is this for a helmet for the Elite leader?

If you dont know, I am making the leaderheads for the mod, if Sir John likes them. There is a preview of Captain Jacob Keyes guy in the main forum.

 

[Sir John]

well, it is a nice helmet, but sinve the mod is after a game called Halo; I want to be "true" to the game... =D There is actually a reaosn for him not having a helmet, he has a power shield...

 

[Sir John]

Here follows some good and some funny Halo pics (not Screenshots):

66 tons and Master Chief can still flip it over without any problems.

BTW, there is going to be a leader person in the next game for the covannant, some kind of a psychic guy...

I hope this will turn out to be a good mod... Good luck. I like the Christmas picture...

 

[Sir John]

I havn't heard much from Halo2 myself, but there is supposed to be another race, or maybe the Elite elders, that are very Physic and are the Leaders of the covenants, they are like religious leaders.

I've seen a Picture from a magazine on a new vehicle with them in it... but that was a pixel image. ie. drawn in pixels to look like an old game.
