I've been doing some work on this recently and should have a beta ready very soon.
I'd just like to make you all aware of a couple of design changes:
1) I felt Nemesis was a bit underdeveloped for the uber bad guy that he's supposed to be so I gave him his own Team:
United Underworld. This faction now has units along the "Crime" Tech Line (as well as the super powers tech line). As you can see from the attached image this faction has some gothic/demonic elements going on hence their name (which also happens to be stolen from the original batman movie (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060153/plotsummary).
2) I revised the capturable super character and incorporated them all into a non playable faction now called
The Neutral Squad led by the unfathomable
Captain Cretin. There are now 18 cities placed on the map belonging to the Neutral Squad. The aim will be to capture these cities after defeating their resident super character which will allow you to capture the defeated version of their unit which in turn can be upgraded to a super character again. Don't expect this to be easy because the Neutral Squad have a secret weapon up their sleeves as well as the free roaming powerful Captain Cretin. Apart from this however, the Neutral Squad can't build units or settlers.
3) Governor's Island - initially this was going to be the base for Nemesis but I didn't want to isolate him on an island. What I've done then is turn this into Monster Island - the place where the government puts all the monsters it can't handle (i.e. kill). So this place will be crawling with all manner of nasties (all belonging to the barbarian faction). The incentive for clearing this island however, will be access to some cool alien technology.
4) You may have spotted some new names on the super character unit list. My aim is not to be disrespectful or to cause offence but is my little of way of paying tribute to two former Civ Fanatics: Stormrage and Spacer One. I picked units that reflected their user names rather than their character. Everyone who's posted so far will be included also (unless you don't want to be) - I just haven't picked out a unit for you yet but if you want to suggest one as well as a Bio let me know.
