Terrain graphics

Yeah I agree about the armour-resources. I just copied down any resource that was mentioned

As it currently stands, Adamantium Proccessing is one of the first techs of the second era, so adamantium would be required for walkers, elite infantry, ships, aircraft, tanks, super heavy, etc

This means that first era troops wont require resources

I think ceramite could be included like quarry in MEM; give a shield boost in the tile and be required for bastions

Ok these are the resources I have listed. Most of them have been lifted from Lexicanum in one way or another. Problem is, very few (if any) are naturally occuring:

Strategic
Adamantium - used in infantry armour. probably end up like iron in the WH mod, with lots of units needing it

Archeotech - described as "lost technological artefacts". not sure how this could translate in game. perhaps better as a bonus resource

Armaplas - heat-resistant metal/plastic combo used in carapace armour

Ceramite - ceramic material used in manufacturing armour. Says its used in terminator armour, but might be better in game being used for defensive structures like bunkers and bastions

Promethium - need for flamer-units and vehicles, kinda like oil

Plasteel - another material used for armour

Slag Deposit - this is from DoW and will be required within radius for Thermoplasma Generators

Luxury

Crystals - basically brightstone or gems or whatever from the WH mod

Nalwood - apparently similar to pine, it was plentiful on tanith until the planet's destruction. since then, the price of wood has risen sharply, and nalwood has become a luxury item

Relic - something old and valuable, boosts commerce

Maybe tie Relics in with Archeotech as resources needed to build a library. Have the library spawn Librarians for the Imperium, and perhaps Thousand Sons Chaos Marines or Obliterators for Chaos factions.

Archaeotech should be required for really elite units, like ancient technology showing you how to build landspeeders, or some such. Having armaplas, plasteel, adamantium and ceramite as separate resources seems unweildy, especially as I'm almost positive some of these are not naturally occurring materials. Perhaps just have adamantium as a resource, and "Plasteel Manufacturing" and "Ceramite Manufacturing" as separate resources, giving you access to Stormtroopers and Terminators respectively?

I agree. Have plasteel for the regular, say, marines and ceramite for the Terminators and/or vehicles.

For the Imperium at least, perhaps if another unit can fill in the role of a strong late-game defensive unit, Librarians could take the role of armies, and thus a small wonder Library could be built enabling the construction of armies within that city without a leader?

 

[Quinzy]

Strong late-game marine could be something like a Vanguard-ian?

And Chosen for Chaos Marines? Battlesuit for Tau, Eldar Banshees or something like that?

 

[LMR]

In the unit thread, we were thinking of having each factions hero/champion produced by a wonder, so librariums or whatever would spawn librarians, etc

Hey! Green biodomes can be used to make green sticky thin paste food on icy Valhalla (Sandy Mitchell, books about Comissar Ciaphas Cain).
I use them

 

[Midnight-Blue766]

Maybe we can have some sort of STC resource in addition to Archaeotech?

For city graphics in particular I think you should have the metro for Humans be a Hive city. Have it be massive and expanding all over the tiles next to it.
