What are the thoughts on recycling squads? Maybe it could only be done within a certain range of the HQ.

No way should you be able to recycle squads, it defeats the very premise of the game. No no no no no no no no no!

mid-high, im not entirely sure about the fps, but it's always smooth so i belive 30+ i could check with fraps the exact number if needed.

probably not low enough then. worse then my setup though; i'm not going to be any help with benchmarking.

this is propably more of a bug report than a wish, but can the Brother-Captain be given a death animation. I think he uses the Chaos Lords skeleton so his death animation should in theory work.

@Ctan
Unless you're willing to stump up ~$10K don't raise necrons as a topic again thx

Otherwise I shall put $20 a month towards paying for a modeller/animator if enough people are willing to. New thread?



I could come up with 10€ a month. New thread?

Oh yes, Gabriel FC is a nice idea. I like to play FC, but this icon with his dumb bald head. 0_O

I would rather collect money for people who are already doing work for some time - like illustrations, mapping, programming and keeping this whole thing alive.

@ Lag
It's up to Caeltos and Lulgrim how to deal with the money.
And yes, you are right too.

Just something I wished was included since I played back in the Beta days, and now that I stumbled upon it I'd like to bring it up again.

Is there any chance we ( and with "we" I mean "you" ) could include something like this as an vissual upgrade for Techmarines that get the BIONICS wargear / armour?

Didn't Yarrick set an example about this kind of stuff? Just need permission of the mod author and and they'll throw it in for shits and/or giggles

I'll better get in contact with uncle_anaesthesia, then :P

(doubt its going to be that easy)

Edith:

Hope now with the inlcution (?) of LotD, Alpha Legion etc they plan to include more in the future.

I mean look at those Night Lords, they even got real Lightning effects, not just painted on ones, how sexy is that?

Image


Also, I hope one day my dream comes true and we get to see Deamonprinces in DoWII.

Image

I'd imagine it similar to the Force Commanders Terminator Armour upgrade. Removes level and Wargear and makes the Chaoslord ( or even Sorcerer / PC ) into a "little superunit".

Can you "scale" animation skeletons in Dow2? Wonder If you could fit that guy on an upscaled (C)SM(Terminator) or so.

Nice Chaos models there. It'd be cool if we could replace GUO with the Daemon Prince to make a more god-neutral CSM army. Of course, the animations to make equivalent abilities between GUO and Daemon Prince don't exist, so that's too bad

Just a random tought, but if there was a small-scale daemon prince it could be the T3 call-in for chaos instead of terminators, just for anti-homogenization.

Or indeed just an alternative super-unit, exclusive to the Chaos Lord?

You could theoretically choose between a LR Phobos, a GUO, or a Daemon Prince (via your chaos Lord).

I suppose killing the prince would revert the lord back to his usual state... but this would likely still result in his level being reset, I assume?

And then you'd have to distinguish the Daemon Prince's utility to the GUO... perhaps less of a damage-sponge, and more of a glass cannon sort of deal? And/Or a support unit to provide buffs to surrounding units?

The demon Prince is the Chaos lord who is greatly corrupted by the demonic powers of the warp and he more or less became a demon himself about that.

not like a greater Demon but more a greatly mutated Hero, who becomes a monstrous Creature in TT (compareable to the Terminator Upgrade of the Force Commander - actually kvek is right, and the Avatar is also a mutation of an Eldar but in the game it is buildable)

its very cool, but a new model would be strongly required (like a mix of a CL and a Bloodletter... )

Hmmm. If you can upgrade your hero into a super unit. It would surely be a bit questionable. I mean hero costs no upkeep and uses 0 popcap. I really wouldn't want to convert my hero into something that uses 20+ popcap and costs upkeep.

How much hp would he have? what armor type? what abilities? energy costs? dps? what damage type? ranged attack? melee attack? speed? how much popcap would he use? how much upkeep would he cost? Same questions also apply with the exception of popcap and upkeep if you wish this upgrade to be like fc termie armor.

not instead ... :(

but overall a good idea

edit:

what about making the Lascan upgrades for the preadators more AV and less AI ? (similar to the vanquisher)
e.g. Range upgrade and Accurathy decrease
since the very cool new nurgle upgrade, imho the mark of tzeentch upgrade could be the dedicated AV and the khorne the dedicated AI - nurgle for sustain.
atm its just mark of tzeentch for max dmg.

in case of the SM it might be good to ad an upgrade for the side wheapons to compensate the loose of AI when the Lascannon turret is upgradet(eg autocannons).
i think this would be very cool.

MoT for max damage ? Lol, if it hits it does a lot of damage, but usually you want to target vehicles with it (you will usually miss infantry anyway) MoK is great at dealing with commanders.

simliar to the vanquisher ? What do you mean ? Vanquisher has less damage against vehicles than a las pred

Making Twin-lascannons more effective against Vehicles would be pretty stupid, as they are really good now.

mean if you decide your Leman Russ to upgrade with the anti AV upgrade, its less god vs infantery but it gets more range.
thats what i mean for the lascans ...

Kvek wrote:MoT for max damage ? Lol, (...)

u lol and dont explain why, what i want knows only me alone ;)
... true it does a lot of damage... even to commanders.
and it has splash whith makes it also very good vs everything else.

actually im playing chaos and SM and its kind of a nerf for these two races.
the sugestion is to make the two other upgrades even more atractive. especially the khorne one because it would be the allround one then.

and like i sayed - sm needs another goodie if the lascan is nerfed to be dedicated AV and no longer just making the pred even better.

In my experience with the SM laspred, it very infrequently totally whiffs against infantry. The targeting offset on a "miss" seems pretty low so it almost always ends up hitting the squad, just not dead center. Missing is only a major factor when shooting at single entities like subcommanders/commanders, or something like a dev squad that decides they're going space themselves way the hell out.

It's not like a tac missile launcher, where the missile is liable to go winging off at 45 degree angle from the target and plow into the ground 5 feet in front of him. <-pr0 skillz

yeah, the splash of 1 is generally less than the amount the shot misses by. only the tank versions have this splash though, setups do not and so do miss most of the time.

so you agree, that lascannons alre also good vs Infantery?

i still think so.

"but usually you want to target vehicles with it " also doesnt deny it ... i dont want that. because it does a lot of damage every time it shoots.

but ok ok
dont nerf my tanks ...

It would involve simply cutting off an arm from the Techmarine model (like I did with the helmet, although that will change according to army level) and making it a wargear item that is replaced by Bionics this time.
