Proposed history for the 3rd Cthonian faction

[Clavin12]

I was thinking like a simple bz2 compatible version of this.



And here's just a concept to go off of.



Yes, I know their from blender.org

[Nielk1]

I like the 2nd. Should I model something?

What is their proposed building system?
BZ2 like?
BZ1 like?
Something new?

We CAN do DLL.

[AHadley]

I'm up for unconventional, but not DLL powered. Not sure why, it just... doesn't seem... right.

The FS:PR and BZ1 styles are both DLL powered.

[Clavin12]

Bulding style as in how they synthesize biometal things?

You know how the gun spire opens up and the ball comes floating to the top. Also when you upgrade the power generators how they grow out of the ground? I was thinking that the constructor could lay down a bed of biometal which would then "grow" into the building. They would emphasize the "bio" part of biometal a lot more than the other races.

I've already come up with a few model designs which I can post soon.

[Clavin12]

hows this for an antennae?

[Mr X]

You may want to make the base a bit bigger so that it matches the size of the widest point, otherwise you could end up with buildings that overlap.

But it does look good.

As for a logo, I'm thinking it should be a bird in front of a wall of flame.

EDIT: did a sketch of the logo I have in my head, still haven't got the scanner working so I took a picture of it, worked better than I'd expected actually.



What do y'all think?

[Clavin12]

I propose that we alter the history a little so that they didn't name themselves the Phosphornii but were named that by the Hadeans after the Cthonian civil war. Many ancient races have a name that in their language means "people" or "real people". May I suggest they have two names?

The greek word for people is either demos or ethnos, so some options would be demii, ethnii, demians, ethnians.

[Nielk1]

I like the two names idea.
I like the building Calvin but I don't think it fits quite yet. Still a nice model. I was thinking they would be a bit bulkier.

[Clavin12]

Ok. I was also thinking we could put some sort of fire effect in between the wings in it. I've also designed a ship but ill have to change it a little to match this.

[AHadley]

I would suggest that as some sort of Phosphornian atrifact. Like the ones from BZ. Or maybe even an emblem that stands on a post... or something.

[Clavin12]

May I suggest we change the name from Phosphornii to Phosphorii? Phorn isn't a very etymologically pretty sounding or looking word.

Oh and Phosphorus is the main ingredient in match heads which further supports the name.

[Mr X]

I like it as phosphornii personally, I'll add a poll.

Still, no-one has commented on my symbol...

[AHadley]

I like it, but it looks a bit busy. Take a look at the black dogs... just a dog. Maybe this should stick to just the bird without the flames in the background... not sure

[Clavin12]

or just a bird on a red or orange backdrop, or a red and orange bird, or a flaming bird. Or a birds head with a little flame for the eye.
