Warhammer 40000 mod - the community effort

Strategic Nodes? Resource Nodes? something like that? i've never played DoW..

 

[Stormrage]

Unfortunately neither have I, but I will one day (when they make it for all civs, and modd it to perfection ).

How bout Strategy Points? Its a video game after all, if you can have victory points, you can have strategy points.

"You just erradicated a nest of tyranids, you earn 25 Strategy Points!"

The better strategist you are, the more units you can have, and can use your influence to hurry some things up. Like, a reinforcement squad of tactial marines is arriniving slowly (being built slowly), you make a few calls, being the big-shot on the battle field, and some Admiral who`s daughter you used to bang moves your marines up the in the line for transport. Am I crazy?

 

[Quinzy]

wouldn't the strategy points really be better as Victory points? and, say, Resource nodes, or some such, be the other, part 2 of your post?

 

[Stormrage]

I have issues with that word. Node. I don`t know what it means so I don`t like it. A perfectly human reaction. And I`m an ork. Go figure

Mind explaining it to me?

 

[Quinzy]

another word for a point/specific area. its useful for modes in games and for scifi stuff.

 

[Stormrage]

K.. but why would a specific place be more "researchfull" than another?

I`m trying to rename gold here, buddy, research is for.. um..research?

 

[Quinzy]

research funds?

 

[Stormrage]

Um.. research fund would be great for RESEARCH (you know, the science advisor, researching techs `n stuff), we are talking about renaming TRADE (shiny stuff used for upgrading units, paying for spy missions, paying for hurrying up, that sorta stuff?)

Are you just yanking my chain?

 

[odintheking]

How about "money"?

 

[Stormrage]

Isn`t that a bit of a strange concept to the nyds and the necrons?

 

[Quinzy]

Universal Random Useful Thing?
or something like Energy/Effort (how much effort is put into making it)

 

[Stormrage]

Energy! We need energy to upgrade, we need energy to upkeep, we need energy to produce (rush building), we can give energy, we can take away energy... YES!

Energy is the answer! - Marketplace - energy reactor (or a hive of glow-in-the-dark energy creating `nyds). Quinn.. where would I be without you...

 

[Quinzy]

out enjoying yourself, not stuck in front of a computer wasting your life?

but thanks anyways, i do try

 

[Stormrage]

Energy! Eeeennnneergy!

Now I need some time to contemplate on all this. If anyone has some ideas, please post, we`ll both contemplate

 

[Quinzy]

i've been thinking, if by popular demand, we could add in Hruud (skaven) and Squats (dwarves) i know they aren't really needed, and they aren't legal anymore following current rules, but if people really really want, we could put them in. i personally wouldn't like to see them in, but some people might.

 

[Stormrage]

If more than 15 people asks for them, we`ll try

 

[Quinzy]

yeah, i'm just all for fairness, ya know. i can't always have it my way

 

[Virote_Considon]

Meh. I agree with Quinzy. They shouldn't be in. The mod already needs too many units. A couple of Dwarves and Skaven with guns would really just be a waste of time.

However, if the world feels too spaced, add as needed

 

[Ellipsis Jones]

Stormrage, what unit(s) are you using for Imperial Guardsmen? And what specific regiment is being represented, or is it a general-purpose guardsman unit?

I'm looking at half a dozen different units right now for about ten different regiments, and it's a bit mind-boggling.

Energy sounds good for trade, by the way. Dawn of War actually has two resources - requisition, gained by holding points on the battlefield, and power, gained by building generators. Energy strikes me as a nice amalgamation of the two ideas.

 

[Quinzy]

*bows* well i am a genius.
i think we're doing Catachans for regular guard, Cadians for DH and Tallarn for WH.
