forum for new mod idea's

[Warfreak]

For Christ Sake... Apparently this is going no where (again) very quickly.

Quick History:

The NSDF and CCA vehicles AREN'T our designs. The majority of them are reverse-engineering of Cthonian debris while only a few are ours. (I.E. The NSDF Razor and Grizzly.)

BASICALLY: you are gonna make what you know works. We made the hovertank variation of the WW2 Grizzly because it's basically an exploit of a tested biometal property and we know the reliability of our own tanks. (Grizzly)
It's safe to assume you would make a biometal whatever you use and (if you were creative enough you would probably also create a mechanical animal)use the new variant.

@Nielk: I could think of 20 Non-BZ2 Games that could be done in the BZ2 engine without much effort. Not a legit enough reason to squash an obviously weak idea.

i got to say that the only real way to make a mod like clavin's idea is to model it after the total war game engines[love those games!]

[Clavin12]

I'm just throwing ideas out there

[sabrebattletank]

What about you are an Atlantean and you have to fight alien sea monster Cthonians who have come to destroy your underwater city?

A completely underwater mod!

[VSMIT]

May as well do an aircraft-only mod and have really thick fog.

[sabrebattletank]

Or an AI-only mod where the player is only in comm bunker mode and can see both sides but can't control anything.

[AHadley]

There's a map like that somewhere.

[sabrebattletank]

Or an editor mod where the players are stuck in the editor and need to edit their way to victory.

How bout an Aztec based race. We already have a set of Greek based races so I think we need to honor some other civilizations such as Aztec, Mayan, Incan, Babylonian, Egyptian or ancient Indian.

Speaking of editor mode fighting. I've always wanted to make a good FRAPS video of one of my mpi's but I always play on extreme, or hard G66 and never seem to remember that I'm doing that and the video gets shut off and forgotten. Is there a spectator mode where someone could join my game and get in a spectator bunker and switch between nav-cams to record fighting at different places and views across the map?

[sabrebattletank]

Or maybe a 4chan mod where whoever posts the most cp wins.

Because that would be a fundamental re-writing of the backstory,

the only earth civilisation visited by the Cthonians was the greeks.

And @ BBB, if as you say: "The Greeks power waned when their gods, the source of all their enlightenment and power destroyed themselves." wouldn't they still have some biometal left even without the Gods?

I was cranky and Calvin irks me often.

The idea was workable but I saw no way he would find people, I mean good people, willing to work on it. The idea was a bit silly really, anything you gained from it could be gained in a different story.

I do however like the idea of coming up with aliens that seem to have influence, even if minor, in other early human civilizations like the Aztecs or Mayans. Evil Tiki race anyone?

Yes... but they would not know how to use it properly and it would end up just as scrap metal that the Greeks would use for more conventional purposes... such as making high quality swords and armour.

[Clavin12]

How bout the Egyptians? They payed special attention to the heavens.
