Warhammer 40000 mod - the community effort

well technically there is no pictures of LaDT leaders. LaTD are led by Chaos Arch Heretics (Lords or Sorcerors)

 

[Stormrage]

Yes, I know technically, but you could find something that looks like one, or just draw one, or just describe him, I need to know what to look for

 

[Quinzy]

well, picture a bulky, scarred, huge hulk of a man, in power armour (or not) with leering/glowing eyes, like this (the lower guy) http://uk.games-workshop.com/download/popup.htm?/chaosspacemarines/artwork/images/art-07.jpg

OK. Now tell me how does that compare to a goblin? The gobbo is in as placeholder if you want him

 

[Quinzy]

well, that is how i'd like a perfect one, but the goblin fits more as an alternative, more mutagenic sided leader. i wasn't comparing it to the gobbo, i just think the gobbo'd fit in as an alt.

OKay, units are almost completed, time to work on something else. We need a tech tree. Without it we cannot request buildings, wonders, resources or tech icons, and we have people who are eager to do those thanx. We also need LHs, but I`ve got that covered. Sort of.

So, any ideas?

 

[Quinzy]

start off with the groups re-learning how to manufacture things using then new materials. so, technically, tech-up the original tree. rename the techs to more scifi-up the original tree (bronze-working would be something like baranthium smithing. ceremonial worship would be Blessed be the Machine God, and so on) i'll rustle something up soon if you want.

If the cities will be bases, improvements should be upgrades to bases. How do we deal with trade and happines?
Also, the culture groups are very different..

How bout giving each culture group its own era?

 

[Quinzy]

the eras would work, but not when the mod expands..
as for trade and happiness, well, what do you mean? happiness for the imperials would be like, Shrines to the Emperor, and the Asassin Temples.

 

[Stormrage]

What makes a necron or a `nid happy?

 

[Quinzy]

killkillkillkill i suppose..
well, make, like, some sort of pylon thing give happiness to necrons, and some shape or form of spore thing for the nids?

 

[Stormrage]

Good ideas. Now, onto the trade problem

 

[Quinzy]

well, the bazzar and marketplace ideas would still stand, dontcha think?

 

[Stormrage]

I`m talking about nyd and necron trade And also, for SM, IG and all the others, whats a marketplace doing in a military base?

 

[Quinzy]

have them on perma-war.
well, the citizens who live in the bases (the guardsmen's families and stuff) need to buy stuff.

 

[Stormrage]

Whats perma-war?

What do you think is better - stranded on a planet, or conquering a planet? I`m thinking of making this purely militaristic. Money, food, production, all of it could have a military sound to it. But generic enough so it envolves the Xeno races too. What do you think?

 

[Quinzy]

permanant war. ya know, locked war with every one.
yeah, the idea of conquering the plants sounds better

 

[Stormrage]

So you go to kill, you don`t go to trade. We need to rename, "convert", trade to something else. Oh boy, this modding thing is hard

Doesn`t perma-war only work in scenarios?

 

[Quinzy]

*shrug*
i dont really know if it works or not in a mod..

 

[Virote_Considon]

I don't see why it shouldn't work in a mod. Just so long as you have "Custom Player Data" checked.

I could help with the alliences, if needed.
